Bitcoin Forum

Everyone talks about blogging, commerce, using referral systems, bounty, campaign signatures, streaming, selling courses, offering their services in gaming, camwhore. But there are other not so known ways to generate/earn cryptos?

What did you mean when you asking about generate cryptos? Are you mentioning creating a new cryptoccurencies?
If you are, you should first say what you are asking to us. A new token or a coin with its blockchain?

If you are just mentioning token, look at these article:
for ETH;

You can also make a search for TRX, NEO, XLM or any other blockchains.

There isn't, you've named they all excluding code writers, wallet builders, bug finders kinda legit hacking job, these are where real money are, rare talents pays the most

Straming? or is that supposed to be streaming?
There are some people earning from their escrow services and there are also those offering their lending services.
Visit the marketplace (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=5.0) and you should be able to find more ways to earn crypto.

With the word generating, mining comes first in my mind as mining is the only real way to generate crypto.
If you are looking to earn some crypto, you can do that by doing anything that may yield you money in real life just replacing the payment with crypto instead of fiat.
The things you listed are online money making jobs, to add to them, you can do freelancing (design, programming or even making music) and also microjobs like data entry, data sorting and similar tasks for crypto.

Yep: hacking, phishing, scamming  ;D JOKE ofcourse!!!

You mentioned almost all of the popular ways. I can add trading, watching ads, clicking on faucets. There are people that also say that gambling can be profitable, but i have different opinion.

Mining is complicated thing when its creating first time. And it requires a great info. If someone asking here creating a blockchain network. I don't think it is sincere. I can understand if he need help some codes, some issue or whatever. No one can create a blockchain networks with just a posting here. But if someone ask how can I create a blockchain and its cryptocurency, it means he is just posting for activity. Nothing else...

Social media influencers and community managers are definitely up there in the food chain, additionally, being an advisor in a project can also be a great way to generate a lot of that token (little wonder John McAfee and Ian Balina would jump on any project that dangles some tokens in front of them) but I guess that particular role is reserved for the big fishes in the sea called the Cryptocurrency space, you also didn't mention staking, it's taking over the space right now.

Earning by an ads something like brave and adbank that you are able to earn token for viewing ads.
Renting your social media account with more followers making a video and offer a service for project to make one.

You can offer service as support other than in bounties, like being knowledgeable in a certain projects. You can be a reply support in telegram, reddit, linkedin etc as many developers lives in different countries with different timezones so they'll be needing some support that can answer queries especially in telegram if they're not available.

You forgot to mention trading but this is a known source of making cryptocurrencies. How about using brave browser with a reward of BAT for the ads that you will view.
I think this is becoming popular these days although the amount isn't too much.

Airdrops, faucets, pay to click ads websites but all the same bounties still seem better because you aren't investing any money but time but if you have the money go for Prove of stake coins, you will be able to earn income while holding the coins

Bounty blogging, signatures, social media, airdrop are common and many have been chosen to get tokens from the projects being done. But there are still many ways to get a better crypto reward. If you have the ability as a developer to look for threads that require your expertise, maybe like a bounty bug (finding weaknesses of a program or other), Web design, signature code, Wallet builder, programming and so on. The work will give more results compared to the Bounty which is followed by many members.

I was also surprised that trading wasn't mentioned by anyone or by the OP,  and most times when I see threads on how to make/earn cryptocurrencies, only very few users remember trading, and I think the reason is because is trading is not a very easy method, and as a result it escapes their minds.

You can earn cryptocurrency through trading, or would I say you can increase your cryptocurrency through trading, because to trade you need the coin in the first place, you cannot trade from zero, if it's hodling, you'll need to buy the coin you want to hold for some time, if it's daytrading, you need an amount of the coin you'll be trying to make profits from, but trading is one skillful means to earn cryptocurrencies that I always use.

He is looking for way to generate cryptocurrency without investment, mean free source I think. It's better for him if he continue participating in different bounty campaign, only some of the good campaign which might have some real value. Other than this, I can't see a good way of generating cryptocurrency in free way.

Yes there is. Simply work for crypto instead of fiat. You need to work to live right? Instead of researching novel ways to find ways to earn crypto, why don't you make it your livelihood? Trust me it can be done. You would just need a reliable off-ramp to cash out your crypto to your local currency, that way you would be able to pay for your living expenses and save some crypto on the side as well. Think about this.

Casino bankroll investment - though it's been disappearing lately, as gambling sites have made enough profit through the years to sustain their own bankrolls. This method has some degree of risk, and the profits aren't something amazing, but the math is on your side. Also you should beware of newly launched sites, as they can easily exit scam players and investors.

Securities - this is something that I've only tried once (quite successfully), but there's a board on this forum with that name, where people offer to invest coins in their business for the promise of sharing profits. Obviously there's a lot of scammers there, but if you're good at spotting great ideas, you might be able to make money.

Mining and Trading were not included might be due it requires a lot of skills that are not usually easy to grasp and equipments if mining. Unlike those listed that can easily acquire, already doing in personal life or can be study by just watching YouTubes or reading rules in this forum. Lending can be included too but its also risky and needs to have a capital.

Ok, so almost everything has been mentioned in the above comments. But, recently I discovered another way and that is forum discussions to earn free crypto. There are few platforms that pay you in crptos for taking part actively on their forums. You can check Stake forum for that.

It's very unique but you can earn millions of dollars.
And I think it's most rare to crack bitcoin privates keys with brute force? I know this is super hard, has any hacker been able to successfully do that?

I guess he didn't mentioned it because he's just looking for the not-so popular ways of earning crypto. Although he has mentioned the others but  I guess, let's spare it and forget about it already. This is related to trading but it's not the actual trading that we should do. I think this very recent news about staking can also be included to the list.
https://www.coinbase.com/staking

by what he is saying, he meant what ways to earn cryptocurrencies.

lots of ways to earn crypto, while most of the time users aims to earn BTC, OP only wants to earn altcoins that's pretty much odd. you can only earn substantial amount of BTC when you own thousands to millions of altcoin to which if it cost even just a cent, you can have enormous amount of cash. one way to earn is to become a bounty campaign manager yourself and accept tokens.

Maybe for something that not all people can be, like an IT staff, or maybe recruited Team for developer of a crypto project. I think not all people can do that, and that is why it is almost like not no known ways to earn cryptos. Because sometime team of developer get paid with money that they already collected and already get the token but in small percentage from all total supply that allocated only for them.

You can play blockchain games to earn crypto or there are enough gambling platforms that are functioning on blockchain technology. Furthermore, you can even bet on sports in special betting companies that are running on blockchain.

Try trading. More profitable than all other business, you don't suffer any bounty manager's affectation, or look for a friend to suggest a referal code. You need to do is collect information thoroughly and apply them on charts. There is no delay in payment or anything else.

Unless of course the exchange your trading with suddenly disappears, then you're screwed.  ;D

As for OP question, one way to earn/generate crypto is just simply by viewing ads. Brave browser offers BAT tokens in exchange for viewing ads within their browser. Content creators and publishers also get a chance to earn BAT tokens by sharing their referral links on their social media channels.
See their website here: https://brave.com/
You can also offer various services, not only in gaming but also in the technical field such as helping startups build their platform, designing websites; even social media management is a thing in crypto-world now. Some startup companies offer payments in cryptocurrencies rather than the traditional fiat.

Can you add more to the thread?

Actually there are many ways to get crypto, but it seems like we are the ones who limit it.
You can get crypto by selling your skills or services to other people and accept payments from crypto such as design services, buying and selling goods, or others.
Most of us do not want to start for fear that someone wants or is too risky because of fluctuating prices. But at least that is the way. A month ago I did a song lyric creation service to my friend, and I asked him to be paid with bitcoin and he agreed. Actually it's that easy.

You did not mention trading. That is the number one way to generate cryptocurrency. But that is also a way to lose all your crypto if you are doing it the wrong way. But that is definitely one. Another would be gambling. But again, just like trading, that is also as risky. Another would be mining, although this one requires a lot of money to start with. Just like staking. But again, they are all legit ways to earn crypto.

that's right, my first way to produce crypto besides doing bounty is trading and gambling. because it is very fun and until now gambling and trading is my favorite to produce crypto. if you have good enough skills you can benefit every day and of course, you must have your luck. :D

Those mentioned ways are the most common ways in terms of generating crypto, though the risk factors are very high since it's requires you
funds that you need to use for investment. It's not a free way to generate but the chances of growing much quicker is indeed possible if you
able to execute the right pattern according to the knowledge that you acquired while investing to this industries.

I had to lol at this one, since I think I know what it means (there's more than one possible meaning, tho) but didn't realize one could earn crypto from it.  These days there are too many people spending too much time in front of video cameras, trying to get attention and internet fame.  That's why I stopped watching so many youtube vids.

But Op, you nailed every legit way to earn crypto pretty much and, I would point out, this topic is a horse that's been beaten way past the point of death.  I wish there were stats on how much bitcoin is earned by which methods, but I'd bet that bounties and sig campaigns would be high up on the list.  There's a lot of money that gets distributed by that kind of work, and I don't see people doing a lot of other jobs that pay in any kind of cryptocurrency.

The easiest way to earn in my opinion is by staking pos coins.  That's as close to a source of passive income as you could get.  You just own some coins, leave the wallet open and let the earnings come to you.  You don't have to do much of anything, and it's even less work than mining. 

To earn big from today's airdrops you will need to join the ones with referral systems and bounties are the best if you know your way around scam projects, these are other few ways too
- Big time promoter
- Graphic Designer
- Templates creator

When they talk about it, they actually talk about the opportunity to get crypto in various ways. There are many ways to invest in crypto and we can get crypto without requiring large capital. If you are not interested in participating in the campaign, trading can be one of the solutions to find profits in the cryptocurrency market

I find it very hard to believe that gambling is a way to earn crypto at all, especially when it comes to the long term.... it shouldn't be a surprise that by far, most gamblers are losers in the long term, and they generally lose a lot.

Trading isn't viable either unless you are doing it on a more professional basis.... having made a few profits by luck doesn't make you a pro trader. Even professional traders don't make profit every single day. That's just a dream of people.

Do not have an exceptional view on cryptos, if you have then you might be thinking there is a hidden way. Cryptos are nothing but money and earning cryptos will be possible all the methods we are using for years. I mean to say no special ways required to obtain cryptos. You may earn in big number if you work hard and invest responsibly in huge amount.

One know method for earning millions in cryptos is operating a cryto exchange in friendly manner. But, it requires at least half of the million dollars and up to 20 people to dedicate their all the hours. Simply, there cannot be any less-known method legally but there can be hundreds of illegal ways and I am not ready to discuss on them.

Compared to master node coins, I also recommend to go for POS coins for passive income generations. Also, freebitcoin is providing 4% annual interest rate on daily basis. There can be such methods but all are good for passive as most of them are low in earning still good for long term basis.

I think all those method or activities are the only ways to earn crypto. If there are some other way I think you need to share it into this site to add some knowledge and to earn more. I have some idea to earn crypto which is personal trading which you can sell crypto face to face or selling it to the person by transfering by wallet to wallet.

What about consider selling cellular loads for mobile data to other people through cryptocurrency? Basically the are other ways, but you can execute ways that you yourself already have. For such a case, your talent as an example, your talent in graphic designs, mentoring, and even fixing bugs in software could help you gain cryptocurrency as long as the service is remote. People prefer to pay in fiat for services that you give them physically.

I think you already mention almost all of it
offering services is not only for gaming but you can also offer your services online using your professional skills

Looks like people have already forgotten faucets lol. It was pretty common back when bitcoin was just at a very early stage though now that it's value has become very relevant, people doesn't seem to be intersted in faucets anymore. I'm sure there still are a lot out there though probably not in btc anymore but either alts like eth or xrp. Since it's not generating a decent amount of coins, i consider it a forgotten way of earning crypto coins

I have used many applications or websites that say I can generate crypto and I have done that but nothing I have done has gotten crypto and recently BRAVE can make money, unfortunately some countries are limited

One of the most viable ways to generate cryptocurrency that has been known to man is by begging. Just enter crypto communities and create a sad tale of misfortunes for yourself then ask for donations. You'll sure get more than enough

This is an exaggeration on your part. Trading and gambling are fun and they will generate crypto for you but it is obviously not true that you can benefit from them on a daily basis. Let it be clear to everyone that trading and gambling have risks and instead of creating crypto it will burn the crypto that you currently have. It is my assumption that even an expert trader and gambler will also lost sometimes.

If you only want to make cryptos, please become a developer, you can make as many cryptos as you want, but about the price? You will need lots of people for that, including systems, campaigns and breakthroughs to make your crypto grow.

If what you mean is another way to get crypto like BTC and others you have to mine and it costs a lot to buy a mining gear. Unless you want it all for free, that's impossible bro.

in my opinion you have mentioned everything. I will add that what hasn't been mentioned is mining. mining can also produce crypto, but this certainly requires a large cost. then follow the faucet but the coins obtained from the faucet are very few and the last is hacking. we always hear about bitcoin hacking. because sometimes if we don't have a strong security system, bad people will easily hack into our wallets.

I'm sure there must be other methods, recently I realized that there are bountys of programming where they look for errors, or solutions to problems, and the prizes are usually very good.

You mean way to earn? Pretty tough to find a rare way with a decent income though. I haven't think of an industry job that pays you with crypto if there is then maybe they are good. You haven't mentioned faucets, and airdrops. Faucets are way too long to wait they required certain quota for you to cash out your earning and purely based on luck that is why sometimes it takes a whole year to earn a decent income while in airdrops are good if legit decent but quite often. Otherwise, maybe an industry job that pays with crypto.

Faucets, campaign signatures, airdrops are the most popular ways to win/generate crypto, including writing articles, promoting advertising, campaign managers, even games, betting, trading systems with reference links, tradding, selling being the most common ways the idea of this publication is to find not so explored ways.

bug bounty you mean will require great debugging and programming skills, if you have the skills you wouldn't be concentrating on bug bounties but joining a team of developers instead and create a coin of your own. which if in the future you can join to many team of developers you will develop a scaming skills, that is still a way to earn crypto. you have to also see deep inside your moral compass. i think most of the ways to earn coins are already mentioned including scamming.

Who knows why - with the fact that cryptocurrencies can be undermined - people believe that they can be created out of nothing.
Crypts are money, and - except for the special case of mining, which is still a job - they must be earned.
Asking how to get crypto is like asking how to get money.

Aside from mining and offering your service, you can also earn crypto if you accept is as payment for digital or physical goods though it's not that easy because you need to build some reputation first especially on this forum in order for your customer to trust you. There is Marketplace (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=5.0) here where you can post your products that you want to sell in exchange of crypto.

You should spend your time or your money. From what I see, you have mentioned most ways to earn. These are ways we almost know, if there is another way, it will be another branch of bounty or trade.
This can not be considered as a way of making money. This is abuse of someone's help and is at the same level as scamming.

I do not think he wants to cheat anyone. You should propose different methods.

It should be through the use staking pool. What you have been mentioned in your post is about how to generate a token through the use of your effort. But in staking and masternode and your coin itself will generate a new coin. that can be considered as a difficult way because you must own some amounts of token to meet the criteria.
So many people not known about this and they are all choosing the easiest way like the marketing campaign and promotion to some projects.

This must match what you are asking in your question. Become a validator or node can also be considered as a not so popular ways to get crypto.

Generating in crypto is actually a lot of roads to be taken. It's just that the popular campaign and airdrop referral.
There are also those who need capital such as trading and staking but are more at risk because we spend capital. Different from Hunter Bounty and airdrop.

I guess you're talking about earning in this post. There is absolutely nothing new in the ways of making an earning in the cryptocurrency world beyond the ways you have already mentioned.

To get a free token, in my opinion the bounty is an effective way but we have to filter it because many campaigns do not pay to the participants due to many factors. Trading is a way to increase the value of our portfolio, but we must understand market movements and technical analysis because if not, it can bring huge losses
