Let's say that you are not willing to invest your hard earned money in a cloud mining rig, yet would like to start cloud mining for almost free. Is there a way to do it? I think there is and I am going to show you my method of achieving it.

Remember, I said almost free.. so here are the finer details.

1. Obviously you need to have some sort of a device to connect to the Internet (Desktop, Laptop, Mobile phone, etc) (Remember: No mining is done using YOUR device! )
2. You should be able to pay your monthly electricity bill and the Internet bill.
3. You are willing to put your time for this endeavour, expecting that what you are doing in the present will reward you in the long run.

Warning:

Like with any other investment you might lose money (if you actually invest your money!) . In addition, the strategy I am explaining might result it just wasting your time, energy and resources. So implement at your own risk and discretion!
Note that, if you are residing in the state of Washington, USA, as of May 1st, 2017 you cannot use this method, sorry! ( The cloud mining platform I am going to talk about ceased its operations in the state of Washington as of May 1st, 2017 )

OK, so here it is …

Step 1: Open an account with EOBOT, a cryptocurrency cloud mining platform.

Opening the account is FREE.

Above: EOBOT sign up/ login page.

There are several very important features of EOBOT that I am going to utilize in my method. They are listed below,

1. EOBOT has a free daily faucet that gives away cryptocurrencies (19 options, you can select what you like. You can even select to be rewarded in terms of Giga hash per seconds (GHS)! )
2. Mining can be diversified.
3. Cryptocurrencies can be transferred from other free faucets on the Internet.
4. Cryptocurrencies can be exchanged to GHS ( EOBOT has a 24 hr rental or 5 year long rental )

Step 2: Go to EOBOT faucet and get the reward in Dogecoins

( usually the daily average amount is ~ 1.5 DOGE ) Note: Faucet will reward you only once per 24 hours.

BIGGER PICTURE : INITALLY, INCREASE 5 YEAR RENTAL GHS (AT LEAST TO 10 GHS OR MORE) SO THAT REAL MINING CAN BE STARTED ON YOUR PREFERRED COINS AT A LATER STAGE.

Step 3: Exchange the free DOGE you got from the faucet to 5 year GHS.

Step 4: Diversify mining: I usually mine Dogecoins and GHS

Note: EOBOT randomly rotated mining your selection every 10 minutes

Step 5: When you have around 3.0 Dogecoins ( both from daily faucet and mining ) convert that to 24 hour rental GHS

This will give you around 10.5 GHS for a 24 hour period

Step 6: Dedicate mining GHS during that 24 hour period, after which your 5 year GHS will slightly increase.

Step 7: Go back to Step 2 and repeat steps 3 through 6.

Now, there are two ways to accelerate your EOBOT GHS for free.

1. Referrals.
2. Bitcoins, Dogecoins or Litecoins generated from free faucets on the Internet. I will talk about the free faucets that I used for this project in part 02 )
