The Top Three Android Phone Crypto Faucets (#1: Coinpot Faucets)
A crypto faucet, for those of you who may not know, is an application or website that allows you to gather small increments of cryptocurrency between certain time intervals. Some faucets simply refresh after the time interval, while others accumulate quickly at first, and then slow to a stop after a particular point in time until the user collects again. Once you have accumulated a certain amount of crypto, you can then withdraw it from the application or website into a wallet that will accept that form of crypto. Most faucets pay in increments that are so small, that they are practically insignificant, and most of them are, frankly, scams that don't pay out at all (especially the ones that are available on the Google Store).
The three faucets I'll be describing over the next few posts are available for Android phones and are ones that I have received bonafide payments from. Now, bear in mind, you should read the directions carefully because not all wallets will work with some of these faucets, but I assure you, they do pay out when used as directed (as of right now, anyway). These faucets are not designed to make you a lot of money, but they are designed to allow you to get modestly compensated for being subjected to ads while also giving you the opportunity to get some hands-on with crypto, which is an especially great thing for people who are new to the crypto world. I will be writing about these faucets in order of personal preference.
The first (and best) faucet I will be describing is the Coinpot family of faucets.
Bottom line up front: best app overall, best claim amounts, great options to convert coins within the app, most frequent pay-out possibilities. There is one drawback: there are a problematic amount of popups and Captchas to claim your cryptos.

There are actually several different applications in the Google store for the Coinpot faucets, and most of them work rather well. The one depicted above is the one I use, but that's just a matter of personal preference. Coinpot is actually a website that hosts "microwallets" for Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Dash. It also allows you to mine for each of these coins through the site, depositing your earnings directly into the wallets. I personally would not recommend using it for that, because I think there are more efficient ways to mine crypto (Nicehash or Coinhive, for example), but it is a cool additional feature, I suppose.
In order to use the faucets in the Coinpot apps, you have to create a Coinpot account. Once you've done so, the site will automatically create Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Dash wallets for you. You can then use your Coinpot login to sign into the Coinpot faucets, and when you claim from those faucets, they will pay directly into your corresponding Coinpot wallets!
While there are several satellite faucet applications that pay into Coinpot wallets, the two that I find to be the best are the Bonus Bitcoin faucet and the Moon Faucets. The Bonus Bitcoin faucet pays about 15-30 satoshi per click (available once every 15 minutes) and gives you a bonus percentage of the amount of Bitcoin claimed per day, so long as you click it at least once that day. There are some pop-ups, and you have to complete a Captcha in order to claim through that faucet. The Moon Faucets are associated with each of the different coins that Coinpot has wallets for, and offer loyalty bonuses for claiming at least once per day. Without any loyalty bonus, you get about $0.002-$0.004 per click if you wait for 2-3 hours between clicks. Once you've maxed out your loyalty bonus, you get about $0.005-$0.01 per click for the same time interval. These faucets are available for claims once every five minutes, but they continue to accumulate claim amounts for the next several hours at a gradually decreasing rate. This is by far the best paying faucet I've been able to find.
Another cool feature of the app is that you can convert any of the cryptos in your Coinpot wallets to any other one. Typically, I've been converting all of my payouts to Dash or Litecoin and then depositing them into my Infinito Wallet on a weekly basis. Now it should be mentioned that the Coinpot faucets subject you to popups and Captchas to the point where it is rather obnoxious. Nevertheless, I have to say that these are the best faucets I've found considering the level of payouts, the special features of the site, and the frequency with which you can withdraw to your permanent wallet.
In my next post, I will be going over the Euryalos Studios Crypto Collector app, which comes in a very close second to the Coinpot apps.
