ack, it probably is a waste of time. I have been running about a week, also... I might leave my otherwise paperweight androids on the task of mining for FantomCoin (the easiest to mine/liquidate as far as I can tell), but I don't think my comps should keep at it.
Do you use any faucets? They are slow, but I found a few passive ones that are amazing.
I have tried using some faucets in the past when experimenting with cryptos but due to the low payout I do not consider them anymore.
I am looking at things that will be worth the time invested in the long run and I do not see faucets fitting into my goals...
How has your experience with faucets been? Maybe I have been looking at the wrong ones...
I have, in the past week, been through a TON of faucets, and I agree... Many are just not worth it. I have found a few passive ones that require almost nothing of the user. They payout is...kind of meager in the short term. I don't know how long it would take to equal 1 Litecoin, but all of them, without exception have been advertisement Hell. (From someone who uses adblocks...)
I have been meaning to write a full...report maybe? about my experience and which ones I have found to be the best IMO. With the price of Bitcoin going up (until recently, lol), I feel like dripping semi-free (time spent) crypto is a decent, if VERY, VERY slow strategy.
A report with your experience on the faucets would be great. Will definitely check it out.
Keep steem'in hard!
Ok. I have found a few faucets that are pretty good, and many, MANY more that are crap.
