I have previously listed over 70 ways to get free crypto (the post contains links not included here). This post is a deep dive into a few of the earning ways listed. I only included ways that I actively have done and completed a full 30 days of using.

Brave and Brave Nightly (Passive)

30 Day Earn = 7.1 BAT@ $0.72 = $5.11, earning via ad viewing

Brave and Brave Nightly are a privacy focused browser where ads are displayed. This review is for the normal Brave, but users have reported increased earnings using Brave Nightly. Under settings you can choose your ad rate of up to 10 ads per hour and you earn per each video/ad that you view. The amusing thing is that I have never had a video popup on Brave and only have seen the homepage ads.

The browser is great, it even shows YouTube without ads. I use it on desktop and iOS even though you can earn rewards on every platform except iOS. The earn rate varies by country and region. The more expensive the ads are in your area, the greater earn potential. There is minimum of 25 BAT to withdraw to an Uphold wallet, but there is a work around. Go to Uphold directly and create a wallet and then link it to Brave will allow you to withdraw without a limit (instead of the other way around).

(No country restriction, earn rate varies)

Presearch (Passive)

30 Day Earn = 108 PRE @ $0.043 = $4.64, earning via ad viewing

Presearch is a browser extension that allows you to use the Presearch search engine. Since it is a Chrome extension, it can be used with Brave. I have to admit that the search engine is not that great, but it is better than the Brave native search engine. You earn 0.12 PRE on your first 30 searches of the day.

One downside with PRE is that currently you need 1000 "eligible PRE" in order to withdraw and only 50% of the PRE that you earned are eligible. This means that it will take 555 days of max earning (not hard to max the earnings) to be able to withdraw. This 1000 limit is mainly due to ETH gas and I expect that ETH 2.0 will change that (they have mentioned that if you pay for gas they might allow smaller withdraws). They are in the process of changing their reward verification system to get rid of the 50% withdraw limit. You can stake your PRE on keywords to "free" advertising using those keywords.

Coinbase Earn (Task Driven)

30 Day Earn = $3 BAL, $3 FET, $1 GRT = $7, earned via "watching" video and doing taking a quiz

Coinbase Earn requires a verified Coinbase account (KYC required). New coins to the platform will sometimes use some of their "advertising" budget to reward people for learning about their crypto. Typically it takes less than 90 seconds to do the process to receive the reward. One thing to keep in mind is that the rewards are in USD amounts so if you do the lessons during a dip you can reap greater rewards. Keep in mind that many of the lessons are capped and they can go away at any time.

If you are new to Coinbase Earn there are typically $30-$50 in earn opportunities to start.

If you have access to a verified Binance account CoinMarketCap Earn is another great option. The rewards are a fixed amount so the market timing does not matter. They also tend to be a little less than Coinbase, but some tokens you can double dip.

Earnathon (Task Driven)

30 Day Earn = 6 XEND $0.30 = $1.60, earned via "watching" video and doing taking a quiz

Earnathon is like Coinbase Earn and CoinMarketCap Earn, except that it is not run by an exchange. An important to thing to note is that minor KYC (not country limited) is now required and they are temporarily suspending withdraws of their native token ENA token. This appears to be due to abuse of completing the tasks with multiple accounts. There are fewer earning opportunities with Earnathon compared to the other learning sites, but it is a good one to keep in the rotation

(No country restriction)

KuCoin Candy (Task Driven)

30 Day Earn = 1550 Candies = ~$1, watching 2 second ad

Earning KuCoin Candy is as simple as pressing the 'Check In' button on the KuCoin app daily. You get a bonus if you do it 7 days in a row without missing a check-in. When you click 'Check In' a small ad appears for ~2 seconds and then you get your reward. You can exchange you candy for different awards, but 3000 candies is $2 USDT so that is the valuation that I used.

(Access to KuCoin, no KYC required)

sMiles App (Passive to Task Driven)

30 Day Earn = 485 sats @ $0.00045 = $0.22, selling activity data

sMiles is an activity tracking app. It links with the health tracker on your phone or watch. You earn sats for steps that you take. If you turn it on the default mode it logs your location data and automatically records you earnings. This is the way to get the most earnings. I did not do this and only did the "use location data while app is open". I tried to open the app daily around bedtime, but only remembered 23 of the days. The days that I did not remember, I did not earn on my activity.

sMiles also offers games like chess you can play for sats along with answering surveys and other tasks. The earn rate tends to be pretty low and I did not participate in this type of earning. 1000 sat withdraw minimum

(Access to the app, but no country restriction)

Block Reward (Task and Shopping Driven)

30 Day Earn = 4451b @ $0.001 = $4.45, surveys, downloading apps, purchase rebates

Block Reward is an interface for earning rewards through other companies. They don't market and sign on companies directly, but they have several partners that do that. When you complete the tasks you earn rewards. The rewards generally require either completing a survey, downloading an app (sometimes completing tasks on the app), or a purchase. I found the tracking of the rewards to be accurate and redeeming easy if you have an Uphold wallet ($1 increments).

(Many countries)

WeNano App (Semi-Passive)

30 Day Earn = 1.589 NANO @ $6.00 = $9.53

WeNano is a location based app where users have created faucets if you are within range. The range varies from the entire world, to continents, to cities, to being inside a store. Users give away their NANO and set a requirement of how close you have to be to the spot and how frequently you can claim form the spot.

I did find that there were frequent glitches with the app that prevented me from earning every time I was within range. NANO is a fee-less crypto so you can withdraw at anytime.

Reddit Moons (Task Driven)

28 Day Earn = 2964 MOON @ $0.32 = $948, comment and post on r/CryptoCurrency

Listing this here makes the other earnings seem minuscule and they are. sMiles App is literally worth less than 1 MOON. I earned my MOONs via commenting. I do researched and informative posts to try to make the sub better, but I know that they rarely earn any MOONs.

(Reddit account required, no country restriction)
