I struck lottery on freebitcoin

27 Dec 2022 1 minute read 14 comments cryotosensei

I have been using freebitco.in for more than a year but haven’t met the minimum withdrawal limit yet. And no doubt. Each click of the faucet just yields me 1-4 sats, depending on the cash flow of the freebitcoin developers, so it will take me forever...

23 Dec 2022 2 minute read 1 comment cryotosensei

I seldom use Twitter, so I wasn't aware of the existence of Apollo. I came across it while taking a break from work today and decided to explore it further. I loved that I could just sign up for an account by linking it to my (throwaway) Twitter acco...
