If you're like me, then you are frequently looking for a few legitimate ways to earn as much extra crypto as you possibly can (rather than many ways to earn a little). At some point (possibly by following shortlinks from legitimate and paying faucets...

Warning: If you don't like swearing, you should move on now (and fucking quickly, at that). This post deliberately contains an excess of it, in order to be provocative and make a goddamn fucking point! Thanks, SatoshiFailed, for the suggestion that s...
