Faucets and their usefulness

Good morning/evening
I hope all is good for you and yours.
Today’s topic is crypto faucets, that pay out in cryptocurrency.

I’ll start with the bad . My recent activity with quite a few of the more popular ones seems to be futile in making any amount at all . We will start with the most prominent one out there
CoinPot.io who is affiliated with Moon Bitcoin , moon litecoin , moon etc.. bit fun and bonus bitcoin. All of the faucets require you to set up a central wallet at CoinPot at which you can convert all of the crypto you collect into whatever type you wish , I converted all mine to doge ( more on that in a minute). After all the faucets deposit your gains into your wallet CoinPot also matches that with their own coins . So after a month of collecting all five types and converting them all to doge , which amounted to 220 doge (62 cents) I withdrew it and waited my 48 hours . Upon not receiving it I enquired about it , the reason that they said I was disqualified was a violation of the terms of agreements . So doing my dew diligence I searched their t.o.a for any indication of how I violated them . I found nothing in there at all but that they do not need a reason at all ( yes it is actually worded like that ) . My conclusion is that they are fraudulent and best to be avoided . You may have a better experience but highly doubt it . And a few like ethereumfree.info their affiliates will not let you reach the “minimum balance “for withdrawal . Every day it would increase the minimum as my balance increased too . Add them to the list to avoid . I believe in my opinion that they just use the web site to collect add revenue and then never pay out .

Now there is a few that I have tested that do pay out and they are banano.cc ( faucet ,miner and mini-games ) they pay banano instantly. Another is
https://tetraloom.com/nano/
Which is nano and they also pay instantly but I do warn you both are for getting people involved wth the projects and not to make money with . So in conclusion the only way to make “ free” crypto is to invest money first . I will save that for a later post .
Next time I will post about my experience with small tasks for crypto
( games and watching adds )
Stay safe and enjoy the day !
