RE: Kraken won't take credit card deposits :(
Haha I've been doing the same thing. I finally got verified with Cryptopia which is in my country, and I transferred some money in, but it's the weekend and they don't process until weekdays. And Monday is New Years Day so the banks won't be doing transfers then either, so I think I have a few more days to wait.
I have been going hard out on CoinPot for a few days and made just under US 50 cents. It's a bit like slave labour really. :) But I'm seeing money in my wallet and that makes me a little happy.
I've found another one called FaucetHub (that's a ref link) which has two faucet sites called CoinGainGuru 1 & 2, you build up a few sats on those, then go to FaucetHub and play different games. The ones I did were basically lottery type games. You buy a number of tickets and go for awards. Everything from a turbo mode which runs once a minute to monthly versions. The gains there are quite a lot higher. I had my account up to 3,400 satoshi at one point, but I'm terrible at it so am down to 500. :(
Not sure if each other's referrals still work seeing as we already have accounts, but if you want to post your links I'll click on them and see if you get referral bonuses.
Mine for CoinPot are:
btw - I'm writing up a big article/tutorial on CoinPot but I want to give it a few more days of grinding them before I post it.
