My “Welcome to Bitcoinsense” post showed how you can use Coinpot and various faucets to start building up a portfolio of cryptocurrency. This post focuses on how to optimize your claim amount on each faucet. I’ve modeled out the performance of each faucet.

Each faucet has its own incentive structure. In general there are different structures that help to maximize the claim by paying attention to rewards. Here is a more detailed overview of each one:

Bit Fun

Bitfun pays out in Bitcoin. You can also play games and do offers. Playing games does not increase faucet amount rate, however.

Referral bonus — Action: refer as many people as possible to take advantage of the 50% commission.

It is best to claim this every 10 minutes. This was a big surprise to me because it used to accumulate over a much longer period.

Bonus Bitcoin

Bonus Bitcoin pays out in Bitcoin and appears to pay the most of the Bitcoin faucets of . The amount you can claim varies, but you can get a bonus of 5% on all your claims and referrals for the past 3 days as long as you make a claim every day. You can only make a claim every 15 minutes.

Referral bonus — Action: refer as many people as possible to take advantage of the 50% commission.

The key to optimizing this faucet is to claim as often as you can every 15 minutes. Also, it appears that the faucet pays more when you change your claim settings to taking the average claim each time. The average claim varies based on the price of Bitcoin. The lower the price of Bitcoin, the higher the average claims appears to be. For example, when Bitcoin is around $10,000, it average claim is about 30 satoshi.

Moon Bitcoin

This is a unique Bitcoin faucet. It is the only incentive structure with 5 different bonus categories. Each bonus category gives you the ability to double your claim amount. It also pays at 50% for referrals. This makes Moon Bitcoin one of the best opportunities in the Coinpot faucet network. In addition to referrals, Moon Bitcoin also rewards the following:

1) Loyalty bonus — Action: make a claim at least once a day. This is the easiest bonus. All you have to do is make a claim every day and you get a bonus. If you miss a day, it resets back to 1 and you have to walk up to 100% again.

2) Referral bonus — Action: refer at least 100 people to take full advantage of the referral bonus.

In addition to getting 50% of your referral’s claims, you also get a 1% bonus for every person you sign up — up to 100%. This bonus has a ceiling of 100 people, but your referral commission does not.

3) Offer Bonus — Action: do 10 offers to take full advantage of the 100% claim bonus. This bonus has a ceiling of 10 offers.

4) Mystery Bonus — Do nothing and earn this bonus.

5) Mining Bonus — Mine on your computer for a 100% bonus depending on your hash rate and if your device allows mining.

There’s one other thing that is absolutely critical in your claim amount. This is true for all 6 faucets — the number of times you claim can drastically increase your daily claim amount. For example, based on the current claim rate, if you claim every 5 minutes for 4 weeks you get 16,128 satoshi (assuming no referrals or bonus opportunities). However, if you claim every 4 weeks you get 111 satoshi.

The key to optimizing this faucet is to claim every 30 minutes or so. This may change, but current claim rates show that there is no benefit to claiming at smaller time intervals because it accumulates at a slow and steady rate. You don’t start to make less satoshi until you wait for 30 minutes or more. So you can claim more often, but you won’t make any more than if you claim every 30 minutes. If you can’t claim every 30 minutes, at least claim once a day for the loyalty bonus.

Moon Dogecoin

Moon Dogecoin is like Moon Bitcoin, but pays out in Dogecoin. All the Moon faucets have the same basic structure, but not as many bonus options.

1) Loyalty bonus — Action: make a claim at least once a day. Same as Moon Bitcoin.

2) Referral bonus — Action: refer at least 100 people to take full advantage of the referral bonus. In addition to getting 25% (not 50% like Moon Bitcoin) of your referral’s claims, you also get a 1% bonus for every person you sign up — up to 100%. This bonus has a ceiling of 100 people, but your referral commission does not.

3) Mystery Bonus — Do nothing and earn this bonus.

The key to optimizing this faucet is to claim every 15 minutes or so. This may change, but current claim rates show that there is no benefit to claiming at smaller time intervals. You don’t start to make less dogecoin until you wait for 15 minutes or more. So you can claim more often, but you won’t make any more than if you claim every 15 minutes. If you can’t claim every 15 minutes, at least claim once a day for the loyalty bonus.

Moon Litecoin

Moon Litecoin is the same as Moon Dash (see below), but it pays out in Litecoin.

1) Loyalty bonus — Action: make a claim at least once a day. Same as other Moon faucets.

2) Referral bonus — Action: refer at least 100 people to take full advantage of the referral bonus. In addition to getting 25% (not 50% like Moon Bitcoin) of your referral’s claims, you also get a 1% bonus for every person you sign up — up to 100%. This bonus has a ceiling of 100 people, but your referral commission does not.

3) Mystery Bonus — Do nothing and earn this bonus.

The key to optimizing this faucet is to claim at least once a day for the loyalty bonus. To maximize this claim you need to claim every 5 minutes or 288 claims per day which is the highest of any faucet except Moon Dash. This makes MoonLitecoin and MoonDash slightly harder than the other Moon faucets, but not by much.

MoonBitcoinCash

The bonus structure is the same as MoonDoge and MoonLitecoin, but pays out in Bitcoin Cash. You can optimize your daily claims by doing the following:

1) Loyalty bonus — Action: make a claim at least once a day. Same as other Moon faucets.

2) Referral bonus — Action: refer at least 100 people to take full advantage of the referral bonus. In addition to getting 25% (not 50% like Moon Bitcoin) of your referral’s claims, you also get a 1% bonus for every person you sign up — up to 100%. This bonus has a ceiling of 100 people, but your referral commission does not.

3) Mystery Bonus — Do nothing and earn this bonus.

The key to optimizing this faucet is to claim every 5 minutes or so. This may change, but current claim rates show that this is best, and it really starts dropping after 15 minutes. You don’t start to make less satoshi until you wait for 15 minutes or more. If you can’t claim every 15 minutes, at least claim once a day for the loyalty bonus.

MoonDash

MoonDash is the same as MoonLitecoin, but it pays out in Dash.

1) Loyalty bonus — Action: make a claim at least once a day. Same as other Moon faucets.

2) Referral bonus — Action: refer at least 100 people to take full advantage of the referral bonus. In addition to getting 25% (not 50% like Moon Bitcoin) of your referral’s claims, you also get a 1% bonus for every person you sign up — up to 100%. This bonus has a ceiling of 100 people, but your referral commission does not.

3) Mystery Bonus — Do nothing and earn this bonus.

The key to optimizing this faucet is to claim as often as you can, at least once a day for the loyalty bonus. To maximize this claim you need to claim every 5 minutes or 288 claims per day which is the highest of any faucet except Moon Dash. This makes MoonLitecoin and MoonDash slightly harder than the other two faucets.

I am working on another post that will contain more details on the tests I did to get these results. I hope to post it over the weekend.

Hopefully this will help you with your faucet strategy and you can use this help others join us in the cryptocurrency journey.

Final note, some of this information was provided by the Coinpig blog. My claim tests produced some different results from his, so maybe payout patterns change over time. I encourage you to check out some of Coinpig’s posts on other coin faucets. Updated List Of Free Coin Faucets
