For quite some time now, I've been touting YesCoiner as an excellent Bitcoin faucet. Some may disagree, as it takes a while to get to a minimum payout level. I wouldn't disagree with that sentiment. I should note that I personally am extremely patient when it comes to acquiring free crypto. It's really mostly a waiting game, definitely not a "get rich quick" scheme. The YesCoiner faucet distributes anywhere from 2 to 8 satoshis at a time, in my experience. You might get lucky and get double digits, 10 to 13. But, for the most part, you will be acquiring them at a snail's pace. When you look at the minimum payout levels, you might immediately be discouraged:

Your best bet will probably be to use the FaucetPay method, as only 1k satoshis are needed. But, believe it or not, I use the Bitcoin mainnet method. Sure, the fees are astronomical when you compare it to the other methods but that's what works for me. I've used a few techniques to acquire more on YesCoiner and get to that minimum 40k sats payout level quicker.

First, I use referrals. I make it no secret: every single one of my posts here on P0x has referral links, including one to YesCoiner. You may have noticed a few already while reading this post! If you get enough of your friends on board, you can earn some nice passive sats easily. Recently, I haven't been posting as much here, so my stats have taken a bit of a hit. But I'm still getting a nice consistent trickle at times:

It ain't much, but it's honest work! Well, it's actually not work at all. It's just sharing your referral link to as many people as possible. If you post regularly on social media and have a bunch of followers, I imagine that would be pretty effective.

Another way to multiply your stack on YesCoiner is the 50/50 coin flip game. Now, this can be pretty risky. I've lost tens of thousands of satoshis rather quickly by not "quitting while I'm behind." My current technique is to play once and make a mild wager, a few hundred sats. If I win, I quit. If I lose, I quit. I just make it a one shot deal each time I logon to the website. I usually play tails because "tails never fails," though sometimes it certainly does. Occasionally, I'll go with heads. But, it really doesn't matter. I just do a 50/50 one shot deal. I did not abide by my personal rule 8 days ago, but that was because I didn't have much left to lose. When my stack starts to be tens of thousands of satoshis, I will make the best higher.

So, my most recent payout was earlier this month. It took about six months of playing on the website to get to that coveted 40k payout level. And then 10k of that had to go to fees, so I ended up cashing out about 30k satoshis.

So, is YesCoiner worth the time? For me, I would have to go with the website's namesake and simply say Yes. It may not be for everyone; it requires patience, shameless link promotion, and some level gambling. But I think have developed a pretty good strategy. There are definitely other ways and platforms to earn more BTC at a quicker clip, but I just wanted to share my experience with YC. It's at least worth checking out. If it doesn't jive with you, then just virtually kick it to the metaphorical curb.
