Like a lot of folks here, I'm always on the hunt for useful faucets to help "stack pennies". A number of those I've found have been...lacking...but I recently came across one that I've found to be both easy to use and delivering some value: PipeFlare

PipeFlare offers two different cryptocurrencies: The privacy coin ZCASH (ZEC) and everyone's favorite meme coin DOGE. What caught my attention first was that PipeFlare pays out your ZEC claims immediately without any minimums or waiting which I find really nice. DOGE requires a minimum of 1 DOGE before withdrawal but depending on what reward multipliers you have this should only take a few days to make. Just make sure you see the reCAPTCHA tag in the bottom right of your screen or else your claim might not go through. Usually refreshing the page fixes this.

Speaking of multipliers, as you can see above there are a number of ways to boost your earnings. You'll already be linking your email (or the burner gmail account you made when you started doing coin faucets, right?), but in order to start getting decent claims you'll be able to hook up your Facebook, Twitter, and (surprisingly) LinkedIn. You don't have to link all of these, but you'll want at least one to get full rewards.

Another multiplier feature that I was not expecting was for use of the Brave browser. I'm not sure if there is some sort of deal between PipeFlare and Brave for driving users but if you're already using Brave this is an easy doubling of your rewards. Do note you'll need to turn off the Brave Shields to claim from PipeFlare, which just raises more questions regarding their relationship.

Like other sites, you also have a daily bonus for consistent logins, maxing out at 3.5x. Bonus spins are a nice addition but I wouldn't expect to win too much more than you normally pull. Still since it only takes a few seconds to claim rewards for the day it should be easy to earn these bonuses. If you have notifications turned on you can even have the site message you after the 24 hr cool down is complete.

The final multiplier for PipeFlare is the common referral system, though their system does have an unusual twist.

PipeFlare offers to straight up sell you referrals to boost your earnings as you'll get 50% of what your referrals earn from the faucet as well as diminishing returns from those that they refer up to the 4th degree of separation. Now, comparing this to the "premium" accounts I've seen other faucets offer this certainly seems like a cheaper option, but I'm still not sold. While whoever you get as your referral my have met the stats listed in category, but there is no guarantee they will keep meeting those terms or even keep using the site at all. There is a 14-day money back guarantee offered for these purchases, but for now I'll be staying clear. If anyone reading this has purchased referrals from PipeFlare I'd be interested in leaning about your experience.

Finally, we come to PipeFlare's game section, which offers the chance to win DAI by competing in their weekly leader boards.

These feature Flare Hit (knife throwing), Beatbox (shown), and Flare Jump (platform jumping). Each of these are fairly common games you might see on other sites, but can still be a nice game to kill some time and might just suck you in to completely one more level. They all use the site's in house token, FLR, which you can also claim from the faucet and use for cosmetics and game boosts. I doubt FLR will ever see any trading outside of the website but it's still a nice little addition and you can't complain about winning free DAI.

While I do still have a few questions about some aspects of the site, from what I can tell PipeFlare is a legit faucet site that offers good value for time spent. The email I used for this site hasn't been bombarded by spam emails and I haven't had to deal with any annoying popups. ZCash isn't the most traded coin but it's still in the Top 40 for market cap and can be traded on numerous exchanges and the social media linking isn't anything worse than other daily faucets.

If you'd like to try it for yourself you can sign up here.

Feel free to comment below with what you think of PipeFlare or if you know of another faucet you'd liked me to try out and review.

Thank you and I hope to see you again soon!
