As my beautifully worded title suggests, I have been test driving some new faucets and I wanted to pass them along to everyone as they might be worth a look to help grow some of your holdings with out expending to much energy or time. All these faucets pay out to your normal wallets and not a micro wallet, so a bit of time is needed to extract a pay out.
This site uses a similar reward style to the Moon faucets. The faucet claim fills up over time and slows at time passes. The faucet has a loyalty bonus of up to 100% and has referral and mystery bonuses of up to 100% as well. It also offers a mining bonus of 1% for ever 1900 hashes. The mining kind of sucks on it it, I was able to get about 7 hashes per minute using 2 threads on my laptop. After you reach 6000 hashes, it will deposit about 2 dogecoins into you account. The minimum payout threshold is 125 dogecoins. I haven't been very faithful to it, but have accumulated about 50 dogecoins in 25 days. I could have pushed it to higher, but I had the flu for a week in there and only claimed once a day to keep my loyalty bonus up.
I have just found this faucet. I don't know what to think of it yet as I have only been using it for a couple days. If it does prove to pay out, it will be a good faucet for earning quickly. What makes it interesting is that is has a faucet but also has some of the same earning features as earncrypto.com with offer walls, videos and games to earn crypto. It also offers three payment options which is cool, you can take a direct payment to your bitcoin or dogecoin wallet or you can take payment using your faucet hub account. Down side, it has some pretty high withdraw levels. To withdraw to your bitcoin wallet, you must accumulate 100,000 coins. To withdraw to your doge wallet is 50,000 coins and wallet hub requires 35,000 coins to be collected. They value their "coin" at $0.0001, so every 100 coins is worth about a penny. We will see how this one goes.
These are the two right now that I am test driving to see if a pay out in on the horizon. I left links, just as a disclaimer, they are referral links. If you choose to use them, great, it will help me fund some future dogecoin giveaways. If you don't want to use the referral, I completely understand. Just delete the referral info and give it a try. Good luck and happy collecting.
what are you planning to do with the rewards, are you going to hold them or re-invest in something else like a mining operation, ala ddrfr33k's idea ?
I was doing the reinvest thing on Eobot, but they changed some of their rules and it just makes it harder. Lately, I have been just collecting but I think I am going to stark giving them away as well as us them to increase my Steem power on this site. I figure if I can get enough Steem built up, I can delegate it which pays me for the most part a daily dividend in SBD.
Sounds good. One day you'll have to tell me how this place works, it's so confusing. I get a message in my wallet that says 'claim reward', should I be doing that ? No idea. Should I be transfering to savings or something ? What is 'powering down', is that a good thing ??
Everything else says 'earning 0% apr' lol, great investment :-)
Yes, any time your wallet asks to you to claim, hit claim. Those are your rewards from authorship or curation. You earn those when you write a post and reply to posts. In the early parts of your Steemit career, replying to others tends to be the best bet on getting consistent rewards and building a following. This might be the best course for you since you have such great content. It is wasted since you have a small following and you only get to accumulate rewards for 7 days. Also what you could do to maximize your content is break your posts down into smaller posts and release them as a series over several days or weeks. To help build your following as well. Also, it is import to convert your SBD into Steem whenever you can through the market place and then power up with that Steem. This will make your vote more powerful as the amount of Steem builds. It takes about 30 Steem to be worth about a .01SBD per vote. One way to earn some return on your Steem is by delegating Steem power. I delegate 10 Steem power (which is Steem that has been powered up) to @tipu which is a voting bot. It pays me a small amount daily in SBD. I suggest you check out some articles buy @tipu and my buddy @mawit07 as well as @jerrybanfield for some advice on getting more value out of your account. Another good one is @fun2learn . There is really good stuff on there to grow your base. Also, check out @markmorrisjr and his dolphin school series, it was a kind of crash course in growing your account.
Powering down is the process of taking Steem that has been powered up and transferring it back into Steem. This process takes a while, like 13 weeks to complete. If you have enough Steem Power, powering down should not be a big deal because of what your Steem power produces in value for upvoting your own work. That is kind of where the money is made on this site is by having enough Steem power to upvote your own work and make money or attracting other high Steem power users to upvote your work. If you have any more questions, feel free to email me at [email protected]. I check the mail about once a day, but I do respond once I get there. I hope that helped.
ah, sweet man ! thanks for the very detailed reply, much appreciated !
Wait, what, you can upvote your own posts ?? Does everyone do that ? I didn't even know that was possible (or ethical lol).
One last question, is there some punishment for upvoting peoples comments ? Every time someone replies to me (with a decent comment, not spam) then I automatically upvote their comment as a way of saying 'thanks', or just to acknowledge that I'd read their comment. I don't see many other people doing that though, so wondered if that's frowned upon ?
Thanks again for your help dude, I'll check out those links you gave me asap.
Yes, you can upvote your own posts. Really only valuable if you have the Steem power to make it worth while. What it can do though is when you upvote your comments, it will push them higher up and make them more likely to be read by other users. The ethics of it are iffy. I have flip flopped on it. I look at it like a way of taking profits from your investment. It is ways to extract that built value from your account.
You don't have to upvote every comment as you have a limited amount of voting power to use. You can view this by checking out this link https://www.steemnow.com/@tradergurl. I put your user name in to make it look up your account. It is a helpful tool to use.
The one think I make sure I do is respond to every comment, positive or negative. Now if it is spam or a "I follow you, you follow me", then I don't bother. But I make sure that I respond as much as I can to all comments just because I feel that is important. Now other might not think so, but I it is something that I have placed a priority on. Now saying that, I don't post a ton of content so it is easy for me to do and I don't have a ton of follower or Steem power so people are not commenting on my work just looking for upvotes and resteems. Mostly people comment because they have read my work so I want to make sure I acknowledge that.
Cool, thanks again man. To be honest I only came here for the social side, I don't think I'll be giving up my trading account just yet for my Steemit account, currently valued at $0.44 lol.
I trade 1hr charts normally and trying to move up to 4hr and Daily, so I have a lot of time on my hands and thought it'd be good to meet some more traders and maybe help some new ones to get started and not ripped off.
I've already 'questioned' some of the terrible advice given by a couple whales so probably not long before I start getting flagged and downvoted anyway :-)
Thanks for mentioning me! I am glad to know that you considered my articles as good resource. Appreciate your acknowledge and support greatly!
You taught me a lot and still do about the forum and how to be successful the right way. I think that is an important and valuable gift you have given.
