What I am doing as I have 0 miner hardwares just yet, is hitting particular altcoin faucets, especially the lower cooldown period ones and working for a couple hours or so a day to trade somewhere, such as Poloniex for parts of a bitcoin per trade.
Some good coins I found for the moment, I am sorry, but I can't spill, I work on faucets to secure them in a local wallet or so and soon exchange them. I need to see what happens. Sure, they may be smal pieces of single coins, but you do know already, I hope, that it all keeps adding up.
Faucets. will give you little bitcoins and thats not good for everyweek because you only get little and why dont you try to apply in signature campaign where you can easily get bitcoin and you can get higher than you can get on faucet website and thats help you fur sure.
