Hello,
Ive started to get interested for cryptocurrencies a few months ago. My goal is to make as much profit as possible, but without invest of normal money. So I started with faucet-sites, to get some coins for free.
First of all, I set up an account on CoinPot and FaucetHub. For that I needed an e-mail address and a password. Both are online micro wallets, on which is paid out the faucet-sites. From there you can transfer the coins to your own wallet, when you have reached the withdrawal limit.

- CoinPot: You click on a coin and select withdrawal. After 1-2 days the coins should be on your wallet. On CoinPot besides the coins you have a token too. You can multiply your tokens by games, or convert them to other coins. You can convert any coin in any coin on the website.

- FaucetHub: Many sites linked to FaucetHub store your claimed coins on their own website and you must withdraw them first from their site, than you can withdraw your coins from FaucetHub to your wallet. You have to pay a fee to withdraw your coins from FaucetHub. The more coins you withdraw, the lower is the fee.
According to reviews, FaucetHub has an only developer, I think he is German, who is very nice and answers the questions.

The faucet-sites CoinPot has linked 7 sites, where you can claim:
1. Moon Bitcoin
2. Moon Cash
3. Moon Doge
4. Moon Litecoin
5. Moon Dash
6. Bit Fun
7. Bonus Bitcoin

1.-5. are the same. There is a timer and a counter. The higher the timer, the higher is the counter, the more coins you can claim. You must wait at least 5 minutes until you can claim again. The timer goes up to one week, but I recommend claiming at least once a day, because you have a daily bonus up to 100%. Besides the daily bonus you have a mystery bonus, a random bonus between 1% and 100%. There is also a referral bonus up to 25%.
On Moon Bitcoin you have also the possibility to CPU mine, for that you get also a bonus. But I wouldnt do that. To sign up to the sites you only need an e-mail address.

Bit Fun is for BTC and works the same like the moon sites. The timer isnt shown, but you get more coins in the same time, than on Moon Bitcoin. On the site you can find some games to play, while you wait until the 5 minutes to claim are over. To sign up you need an e-mail address and a password.

Bonus Bitcoin is different. You can claim all 15 minutes, there is no counter like by the other sites. There are two methods to claim:
1. A fix average amount (at the time between 36-38 Satoshi)
2. You can challenge your luck to get a random amount which is higher than the average. But I wouldnt recommend that, because the most time its lower than the average.
Basically the second method is selected. To unselect it, you need to go under the claim button on Change Claim Settings and set the checkmark by Always receive the average claim amount. To sign up you need an e-mail address and a password.

The coins are sent directly to CoinPot after the claim. In one month I have made ca. 1,50. Its not much, but I have learned the use of the public key, the use of a wallet, how you send coins, etc.

FaucetHub supports 14 different coins and has many, many faucet sites. Many of them are apparently scam. Some sites I have tested and that arent scam:
- Dash-faucet.com
- Doge-faucet.com
- Ethereum-faucet.com
- Xmr-faucet.com
On these sites you can claim once all 4 hours after you have solved a captcha. To sign up you need an e-mail address and a password.

- Speedup-faucet.com
You can claim all 10 minutes. After you solved a captcha, you were redirected to a site where you must solve another captcha, than you must wait some seconds and you get the coins. Its much expenditure, but the rewards are higher compared to other sites. After you claimed 15 times you get also a bonus. To sign up you need your public key.

- Kickasstraffic.com
You must watch an ad for a few seconds and then you get paid. To sign up you need your BTC public key.

- Allcoins.pw
This site supports 15 different coins. To get the coins you need to click on claim and solve the captcha. You can claim one coin all 5 minutes. The withdraw is specially here, because you can withdraw on FaucetHub with a little fee or directly do your wallet, but with a bigger fee.

Other sites where you can withdraw directly to your wallet are:
- Freebitco.in
- Freedoge.co.in
- Freeiota.de

On Free Bitcoin and Free Doge Coin you have to solve a captcha. In a month I have reached the withdrawal minimum of 50 Doge, but only 1/3 of the withdraw minimum for Bitcoin. But on FreeBitocin is a HI-Lo game, to increase your faucet claims.

FreeIOTA is new and was developed by a German. It works the same way like FreeBitcoin/Doge.

How I look if a site is scam or legit?
By bestfaucetsites.com its written besides. Else I go to netbusinessrating.com and enter the name or address of the website in the search bar of netbusinessrating.com. If the website isnt in the database, I google the name of the website with the word scam and look at the results.

If you are interested in cryptocurrencies and want to get started I think this is a good first way to start. For me for the start this sites are a great thing.
