How To Get Free CryptocurrencysteemCreated with Sketch.

Before you dismiss this as one of those ponzi scams, hear me out. It's not. It's faucets. If you don't know what a cryptocurrency faucet is, then keep reading.

Companies will use this thing called a "faucet" to test in order to make sure their able to successfully transact cryptocurrency. Or a new coin will setup a faucet in order to ensure a certain exchange can accept their coin without any errors. The incentive for you testing their coin is.. you get to keep the cryptocurrency.

Yeah. They give away a little bit at a time to testers and don't expect it back.

So I'll give an example of a recent one that at the time I had no idea what it would be worth. Rootstock. I'm giving this information away - if it's still available when you read this post, great - more power to you. Here's the link to the Rootstock faucet:

https://faucet.rsk.co/

At the time of writing this post here's the balance available in the faucet..

Free for the taking.. they give away 0.1 Rootstock at a time...
Note that for this Rootstock faucet, you will need a Jaxx wallet. You can download Jaxx here:

Jaxx has wallets available for Android, iOS, OSx, Chrome Extension, Windows, and Linux - quite a powerful array of platform support.

Help yourself.

If it's not available when you read this - don't feel like you missed out.. I did some digging and found that there's faucets everywhere just giving this stuff away.

I have tested the Rootstock, so I can confirm that one is legit.

Here's some more that I was able to find..
