Altcoin Faucets: A Complete List Updated

Here is an altcoin faucet list that has all the working altcoin faucets for you.

Bitcoin faucets allow you to get free Bitcoin that you can try out, play around with, and familiarize yourself with Bitcoin and the crypto-currency world. Faucets aren’t going to make you rich, unless you hold on your dust and a Bitcoin becomes a million dollars worth. That being said, I like faucets for total newbies because it allows them to test out the waters without actually going out and buying coins on an exchange or trying to broker one on a forum.

Similar to Bitcoin faucets, other altcoin faucets can be a good way to get yourself familiar with an altcoin and the community without having to spend your money or your Bitcoin on an exchange. Since altcoins are far lower in difficulty than Bitcoins, it is not a bad idea to mine them with your CPU if you have a relatively powerful CPU.

Getting an altcoin wallet

This is the tricky part. Several beginners don’t want to download, install and sync their altcoin wallet on their own computers all the while taking precautions from hackers. There are online solutions at exchanges. Cryptsy is the largest altcoin exchange that I use and recommend for most of these altcoins. However, I recently came across Bter and found the fees to be lower here, so I started trading here. If you’re actively looking to trade altcoins, Vircurex is a good option too as it tends to have lower prices for buying altcoins in terms of sovereign currencies. These services, in addition to giving you a means to trade your altcoins, will give you an address to which you can send the altcoins. This can be used in the faucets. Remember though that exchanges usually have withdrawal fees, so the most efficient way is still to just download and install the client yourself.
