Fire Faucet: Can you really earn free crypto, or is it a trick just to waste your time?
You can earn free crypto.
You can also waste a lot of time.
What follows is a summary of my three weeks using FireFaucet, where I have spent about 15 min every other day and have earned about 0.15 cents. Not exactly Rockefeller material, but hey, it's hard to beat the low low price of free fifty.

So how does it work and how do you earn?
Open the Faucet!!
It's pretty simple to create an account with an email address and begin earning a variety of coins through the free faucet by opening it on a tab and allowing the ongoing earning mechanism to run in the background as you surf the web, as seen below.

It's less simple feeding the beast of this faucet with Auto Claims and then moving these earned Satoshis to and through the faucet's wallet to the user's own wallet to gain that sweet sweet crypto.
Let me explain some of what you see here:
Every minute the faucet takes auto claims (earned through a variety of activities-see below) converts them into Satoshi which are deposited into the user's account as crypto. You can also convert auto claims to coins directly at a lower rate. You can convert coin to coin as well. However, this means very little to the bottom line until the crypto can be withdrawn to a personal wallet. I will address this process later.
The faucet can be placed at 1x-4x "earning", which just means the auto claims are converted faster or slower. I would recommend it always be placed at 4x to better utilize your time. Additionally there is a 50% bonus on this earning for the duration of an hour at a time during earning "Happy Hour" at some point each day.

So how does one earn Auto Claims?
There are four simple ways, though I focus my 15 minutes on the first three to maximize time.
1) You can collect a daily reward bonus once very 24 hours for about 80-150 AC and from the free AC faucet every 20 minutes for about 20-60 AC.
2) You can use PTC (Paid to Click) ads which take about ten seconds per and earn 50 AC, though only 10-12 of them each day.
3) You can browse through shortlinks, which are a series of pop-up clicks and ads that reward various amounts of AC from 50-100 per. They take about 2-3 minutes per.
4) You can perform a variety of tasks, watch ads, or fill out surveys found under the Offerwall category. I have found these take up too much time, and infrequently provide the rewards they promise. Fire Faucet warns of this, and cannot help if the site is faulty.
An additional factor is as you perform more tasks on the faucet to earn Activity, you gain levels of experience that reward with further AC. These levels provide an accumulation bonus on other activity starting at .001x and moving up by level from there.
Finally, the most important question.
How to Get Paid?
Honestly, I don't know. I mean I know how, but have not personally done so, as its transaction fees are fairly high and the minimum USD to withdraw is 10$ USD for Bitcoin....remember, I have earned 15 cents in three weeks. Might be some time before I see any financial gain into a wallet.

Where to go from here?
For my money, pun intended, I will keep riding it out, as it's a way to passively earn crypto with a few minutes of effort every other day while I am on my computer browsing. Hopefully it will gain in efficiency through bonuses the longer I am able to stick with it. If after six months I am only at 2 dollars (a fair projection considering my current earnings) that may be the end for me, but for now the juice seems worth the light squeeze. If you are interested in making a little free crypto in your spare time, or while reading the news like I do, feel free to try Fire Faucet out for yourself.
FYI: During the writing of this article my faucet has earned me .03 cents, and I gained roughly 600 AC.
If this information was helpful to you and interests you, by signing up with the following link I earn 20 percent of those earnings at no cost to you. It would be greatly appreciated if you are planning on signing up anyway, but no pressure either way.
