The end of Faucethub?

If you are, as most of us in the market are, a user of Faucethub, then you've surely heard about this already. Faucethub is going through major changes. FaucetHub will be discontinuing the majority of it's services and undergoing a rebranding, as effective from the 10th of this December.

The reason for this is regulation requirements. Crypto has taken off in the last couple of years and made its way into the eyes of regulatory bodies of various top tier countries. These organizations are instructed by their respective countries governments to implement rules and guidelines for all financial companies to enable them to monitor, control, and predict the monetary movement of citizens in the country. For many years crypto was not considered as to how "money" is treated or regulated, which allows us to operate the platform legally without regulation requirement. Unfortunately, this is very soon, no longer the case. This applies to micro wallets, as well.

I strongly recommend you all head over to Faucethub, and read this: [UPDATD 23/11/19] FaucetHub.io - The end of the faucet industry as we know it.

Scary stuff, on so many levels. I've moved everything over to Cointiply, at least I now they are secure for a while more.

Cointiply. The number ONE faucet.

Free Cryptos With Faucets

Bitcoin faucets are a great way to obtain cryptocurrency if you don’t have the funds to invest in Bitcoin, but still want to invest in this growing asset. Who knows what Bitcoin will be worth in a couple of years, but my bet is it will be worth much.

You all may know what a faucet is by now, but if you don't; A “faucet” is a term used in the cryptocurrency world. It means a place where you can go to claim a small amount of crypto. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of different faucets out there. Many of them are scams, and a bunch are real.

Currently I use 9 different faucets on a daily basis, all proven to pay on time;
  FreeBitco.in, Cointiply, Bonus Bitcoin, Bit Fun, Moon Bitcoin all mine bitcoins (BTC), and Moon Dogecoin, Moon Cash, Moon Dash and Moon Litecoin for a few others (their names pretty much tell you what they are mining).

With those nine faucets I currently make a bit over a dollar per day, from the basic faucet claims, and a bunch of more from the extras (BTC now at $8,198.99). It doesn't sound much, but when you ad it all up on a yearly basis it gives you a nice sum of extra cash. Most of the faucets have extra ways for you to earn more, Cointiply is one of the best in this field.

All you need to sign up for the faucet is an email address and a computer. Never give away your ID, address or any payment information to any faucet.

Verifying SSL certificates

Standard transmission on the internet is way too unsecured, simply because of the open and decentralized infrastructure in its very nature. This means that communication is an easy target for eavesdropping. Business on the Internet is growing, the need for privacy, data integrity and confidentiality becomes critical, since business transactions typically involve sensitive information as personal data and payment card details.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a standard cryptographic protocol and security technology used for securing communications on the Internet and support authenticating of the communicating parties, SSL Certificates are small data files that digitally bind a cryptographic key to an organization’s details. When installed on a web server, it activates the padlock and the https protocol and allows secure connections from a web server to a browser.

The other day, when I briefly wrote about the problems the faucet site Cointiply have had recently, I was in such a hurry I completely forgot to mention the tool I use to check those SSL certificates.
I use a free tool called SSL-labs, provided by Qualys, to check those sites I for some reason find suspicious or that seem to have a strange problem they should not have.

Cointiply - Security problem?

Last week the bitcoin-faucet Cointiply had an issue with their certifikation. On some ISPs this problem i still showing up, since the old certificate is still cached.

However, you should have no worries pushing on and entering the site. Cointiply is still trusted and secure. Oh, and by the way, I have gotten paid lots already :)

Cointiply - seem like a nice BTC faucet

Cointiply is a new next-gen Bitcoin faucet. Users earn free Bitcoin by interacting and completing tasks. The only requirement is that you have a Bitcoin, FaucetHub or DOGE address to send payments to. They promise they also will be adding new payout options in the near future, not that you really need it.

In Cointiply you will earn coins through the faucet every hour from 50 coins to 100000 coins. Other than the regular faucet you can earn money by playing games (I really like some of those), watching videos, completing offers and even through browser mining.

These coins you earn, are pegged to the dollar (10,000:1), so your earnings remain consistent. (Coins are now worth more than 1 satoshi with BTC being below $10K). The reason for this is the fact that Bitcoins markets are very volatile, and many of the ad networks and offerwalls pay in fiat currency (i.e. dollars). These guys pay out in Coins pegged to the dollar to keep the costs constant. This protects both us, the users and the upholders of Cointiply, because everyone involved knows how much they are earning on a dollar basis.
