Since we now live in the age of early crypto adoption, there are still plenty of free Satoshis to go around.

You probably missed the faucet dispensing 50 free $BTC in the network's youth (~$1M in 2017!) but it's not too late.

One day, there will be no more bitcoin to mine because the network's entire supply of 21M coins will be in circulation. Well, the full amount will never circulate -- thousands of $BTC coins are forever locked within lost hard drives and ownerless wallets.

The good news is that today, here and now, bitcoin is still a harvestable resource. If you've got Internet and power and a reasonably modern computer, easy $BTC is available to you.

So, if you're looking to tuck away some coins while we all await the next bull run, I have 2 sources to share with you. Of course, since we're not dealing with power-hungry, dedicated mining rigs, we can't expect life-changing amounts of crypto.

However, since you can't use a laptop while you sleep, you may as well make your machine moonlight for you.

And, if you know how to download and install software, you can mine crypto without any further technical knowhow...

============

1) Always On

Quietly running in the background is the Honeyminer program.

At any given moment, your computer has idle resources. Honeyminer uses these leftovers to mine $BTC.

Super-simple to use -- just install it on your machine and every time it boots up, the program will kick in and create Satoshis.

The program uses a leveling system to gamify the process of harvesting crypto. The higher your level, the more you'll earn.

*At the time of writing, Honeyminer is offering a 1,000 Satoshi bonus to get you started.

2) The Idler

The Cudo Miner works best when you're away from your machine.

If you've any semblance of a set schedule, you can tell the program exactly when to get busy.

Just like the Honeyminer software, Cudo is intuitive and easy to use. When the time comes to cash out, you can choose between $BTC or $ETH.

**At the time of writing, Cudo Miner is offering a 10,000 Satoshi bonus.

============

Wrapping up...

Desktop apps offer crypto mining for the masses. No need to geek out or learn how to code.

The casual, background approach is something you can set up once and then just forget about for a while.

Rewards will accumulate over time and future balances may surprise you.

HODL on!
