As some of you may know, I am a fan of the Nano (XNO) cryptocurrency. It's fast, fee-free and scalable. (It doesn't matter if I'm sending 1000 XNO or 0.000001 XNO; the network gets it to me or someone else within seconds to minutes, with absolutely zero transfer fees.) That, to me, gives it real utility.

Unfortunately, there are not many ways to earn Nano, so I'm going to share several Websites (some of them faucets) and a couple of apps that pay out little bits of Nano:

Websites

• Nano Drop: Use this when you first set up a Nano account/wallet (I recommend Natrium). It will drop 0.000001 XNO into your account. Unfortunately, this is a once-off drop, just to get your wallet activated.
• Free Nano Faucet: Use this maybe once a week, to get a small amount of Nano. For some reason, it seems to work best on mobile browsers.
• Free Nyano Faucet:  Alternate version of the free Nano faucet. Don't use this if you've used the other one.
• Nano Cafe: Use this once a week. It tends to be somewhat slow and difficult to use.
• Bonobo: Although it claims to be a Banano (BAN) faucet, it also allows using a Nano address. Pays out once a week.
• Nanswap: Pays out once a day, three times a week.
• I Can Haz Nano: Pays out up to three times a day.
• Nano Wall: Create custom shortlinks. Get paid Nano when people want to access them.
• Nano Jobs: Get paid Nano for doing freelance work.
• Vixxi: Upload images and videos. If other users want to see them, they will pay you small amounts of Nano. I've made a few XNO this way.
• CryptoVision: Watch YouTube videos to earn nano.

There are a number of other faucets that pay out in Nano (including Firefaucet), but they're largely not worth the effort/hassle.

Applications

There are two mobile applications that I use. Although I get a small amount of Nano each time I claim, I can claim once each hour. It all adds up.

• Nano Now: Claim a small amount of Nano once every four hours. Play a game once every hour to get slightly more Nano. (Nano may be withdrawn to your wallet once a day.) Available for Android and iOS.
• Tip Nano: Claim some Nautrino once every four hours. Watch three videos once every hour to get slightly less Nautrino. (1 million nautrino = 1 XNO). Reach milestones (tasks) to get bonuses and percentage increases. Available for Android and iOS.
