(Updated) Free Cryptocurrency Payed Directly to Your Wallet


There are many sites that offer free cryptocurrency. Many of these sites are called faucets. Faucet websites give tiny amounts of cryptocurrency in exchange for showing you adds. The main purpose of faucets is to promote the coin there offering. Many of these faucets make you come back repeatedly before you can withdraw the funds to your cryptocurrency wallet. I have found some faucets that payout immediately to your wallet, no more waiting. Using these websites will not make you rich, but free money is free money and the ads on the sites I'm showing are not excessive.

So far I have only found a few faucets that pay directly to your wallet. If you know of any addition faucets please post them below.


This is an update to this blogs previous Free Cryptocurrency Payed Directly to Your Wallet post. There are a few faucets from the previous post that are no longer working, but perhaps in the future they will work again. The Most of the Waves coin faucets are the still working. I have added more faucets to this list, which include new faucets for these coins: ZenCash, Minexcoin, Denarius, and Bitcoin Green.


ZenCash (ZEN)
ZEN is a major coin so getting coins coins from a ZEN cash faucet is a big deal. 

This faucet pays from 50000 to 150000 Satoshis every 20 hours. The only issue is that now you need to have an account on the site and that is a real pain.

Link to the ZEN web wallet: https://myzenwallet.io/

Waves (WAVES)
The Waves faucets are managed by the Waves stacking or mining pools. This is to promote the Waves coin and to encourage you to lease Waves coins with them. One interesting thing about the Waves coin is that it is a Proof of Stake (PoS) coin, meaning that holding the waves coin in the Waves wallet will earn you more Waves coin. But unlike other POS coins you can only stake by leasing the coin out hte coin to the pool.

Freewaves
You will get some Waves coins and the option to get some random tokens. This faucet can be used every hour per IP address.

WavesDrop
You will get some Waves coins and the option to get some random tokens. This faucet can be used every hour per IP address.

FountainPerpetua
You will get some Waves coins and the option to get some random tokens, usually Mercury (MER) tokens. This faucet can be used every hour per IP address.

Link to the Waves web wallet: https://wavesplatform.com/ 
The Waves wallet is a multi coin wallet and has a built in exchange.

MinexCoin (MNX)

The coin also has a banking feature called "MinexBank"where you can earn interest by "parking" there coins.

xdeathwing
This faucet pays out every 6 hours. This is tracked via your IP address. There are no ads on the site and the payout is really fast. One nice feature of the coin is that you can park it and earn interest.

MNX doesn't have a web wallet, so you will have to install a client on your computer.


Denarius (DNR) 
This coin can be mined (POW) and staked (POS) and the coins can be put into a Master Node.

xemplarsoft
This faucet pays out 0.002 every 24 hours. The site seems to track your withdraw from the faucet via your router's IP address and not your wallet address. The site also works through a VPN. There are no ads at the monument.

One easy way to get a DNR wallet is by joining their Discord. If you chose to use the wallet from there Discord server beware the address changes, so check it before you use the faucet. If you are active on the Denarius Discord server they sometimes payout free coins to there members, this is commonly called rain. I was able to get 10 coins on the coins birthday, which I put in a shared Master Node. Click on the word Discord for the Discord invite.

The Coinomi wallet supports this coin, and you can get it for your android or apple device. 

Bitcoin Green (BITG)
This is a Proof of Stake (PoS), so if you stack the coin it will earn you more coins.

bitgfaucet
This faucet is often always dry. You can claim every 12 hours.

They have wallets you can install on your computer.





Faucets listed below have stopped working but might come back in the future.

Bytecoin (BCN)
The Bytecoin faucet was managed by bytecoin.org the developers and maintainers of Bytecoin.

Freebytecoin
This faucet can be used once an hour per IP address. They have recently switched to a manually payout system so you will not get the BCN instantly. You will however get the payout in a timely manner.


WAVES (WAVES)

WavesGo
This was the best and most reliable Waves faucet, when it was working. In the past you got some
Waves coins as well as some WavesGo (WGO) tokens. This faucet used work once hour, per wallet address.  Did at one time work though a VPN.


Conclusion
Remember this will not a get rich, so don't put a lot of effort into getting the coins. Faucets are just meant to promote the coin. Many coins are switching to Airdrops as there main way to promote a their coin. Sometimes the faucets will stop working or are under maintenance, so if it is not working try again later. I hope this was helpful. If you have any questions or comments please post them below. If you know of any faucets that payout to your wallet, and are not to a site connected CoinPot or Faucet Hub, please let me know.

Wallet Tip
Use a webwallet if you don't have many coins that are worth a lot of money. If you start to collect a lot of valuable crypto then switch to client wallet or a hardware wallet. If you end up needing to install the a lot of client wallets on your computer. Then install it on a external or removable storage device, because some of these wallets can get very big and and take a lot of space on your local hard drive. If you fill up your hard drive your computer, the computer can get slower or even crash (stop working).

How to setup Claymore on EthOS



Today I’m showing you how to setup the Claymore dual miner on EThOS. Ethos is Linux based operating system specially designed to mine cryptocurrency. In the examples we are going to dual mine Callisto (CLO) and SmartCash (SMART), but Claymore can be used to mine any number of coins. The reason I make this video was because EthOS has changed the what configuration files you can use. The local.conf or remote.conf files are still the most important files for mining on EthOS, but we used to be able to supplement these files with stub files. I go over the new way to do things now that the stub files are no longer an option. Now we have to use the flags option to this in local.conf. I also go over some advanced settings.


Below I have included the a copy of the file I used in the video. Remember to replace my info with your info.

Free Cryptocurrency Payed Directly to your Wallet

There are many sites that offer free cryptocurrency. These sites are called faucets they give tiny amounts of cryptocurrency in exchange for showing you adds. Many of these faucets make you come back repeatedly before you can withdraw the funds to your cryptocurrency wallet. I have found some faucets that payout immediately and/or directly to your wallet, no more waiting.

So far I have only found the one faucet for Bytecoin and a few related faucets for the Waves coin. Using these websites will not make you rich, but free money is free money and the ads on the sites are not excessive. One interesting thing about the Waves coin is that it is a Proof of Stake (PoS) coin, meaning that holding the waves coin in the Waves wallet will earn you more Waves coin.

Faucets rules
All of the the Faucets listed below will allow you to withdraw once per hour. All but one of the faucets below track you using your IP address. In order to withdraw more then that you will need more then one external IP address. The WavesGo faucet tracks you via the waves wallet address, so for example if you have 2 Waves wallet address then you can withdraw 2 times an hour.

Bytecoin (BCN)

The Bytecoin faucet is managed by bytecoin.org the developers and maintainers of Bytecoin.

Freebytecoin
This faucet can be used once an hour per IP address. They have recently switched to a manually payout system so you will not get the BCN instantly. You will however get the payout in a timely manner.

WAVES
The Waves faucets are managed by the Waves stacking or mining pools. This is to promote the Waves coin and to encourage Proof of Stake (PoS) mining of the Waves coin.

WavesGo
This is the best and most reliable Waves faucet. You will get some Waves coins as well as some WavesGo (WGO) tokens. This faucet can be used once hour, per wallet address.  Will work though a VPN.

You will get some Waves coins and the option to get some random tokens. This faucet can be used every hour per IP address.

WavesDrop
You will get some Waves coins and the option to get some random tokens. This faucet can be used every hour per IP address.

FountainPerpetua
You will get some Waves coins and the option to get some random tokens, usually Mercury (MER) tokens. This faucet can be used every hour per IP address.

Wallets
If you want to withdraw BCN or Waves from the faucets you will need a wallet.

Go to the Bytecoin website for a list of Bytecoin (BCN) wallets.

Waves Lite wallet
The Waves Lite wallet can also can also be used to hold Bitcoin, Ethureum,  Litcoin, and Zcash. The wallet also has a builtin exchange called DAX. The DAX exchange can be used to sell the tokens you get. The wallet is also needed to do Proof of Stake pool mining.



Exchanges
Many exchanges will not except small payments to there exchange wallets. Bittrex will not except the tokens or the Waves coin from the faucets as the payment amount is to small. The HitBTC exchange will except the BCN and Waves faucet payouts, but the free tokens from the Waves faucet be lost.


Current Bytecoin (BCN) and Waves prices


Sometimes the faucets will stop working or are under maintenance, so if it is not working check back later. I hope this was helpful. If you have any questions or comments please post them below. If you know of any faucets that payout to your wallet, and not to a site like CoinPot or Faucet Hub, please let me know.
