Here is our Jays n Dees guide on how we will be earning crypto in this year of 2023.
Whilst it will not be the most comprehensive list on the planet, we are going to be listing the best sites we use.
Hopefully you will find your own gems in this list!
True Fauceting:
We do find ourselves drawn to claiming from faucets once again, even after everything that happened in 2022 and prior.
We use the services of FaucetPay for our claims, and now we have our Litecoin faucet set up there too. It is only early days, but it will be interesting to see how that goes.
We spend a lot of our online time claiming from faucets. Sometimes there are great runs with them, and everything flows along smoothly so it is efficient. Sometimes though, even patience and acceptance isn’t infinite with claiming.
Regardless of, this is a list of the sites that we use.
Manual Faucets:
These manual claim faucets range between 1 and 120 minutes between claim times. We like to set a pattern of doing the long time ones first, and then progressively making our way right back to the short timer ones. Achieving good times between claims for the 1 minute ones is hard, especially with some of the shortlink services they use, but the rewards are fair.

Auto Faucets:
If you set your wanted autofaucet claims up early in your pattern, you can ensure that any claims from them are maximised in length. Some autos require you to prime them up for run times, and others just run for a set amount of claims before they expire, with no other intervention from the user.
The autofaucets listed below are mostly of the latter category, and as such, the rewards are slightly less. They are easy to get operating though, and that is important too.
Tron Auto – FaucetPay
BinanceCoin Auto – FaucetPay
DOGE Auto – FaucetPay

Mining Pool Hub
We still have Our mining rig and are still using it, although it is starting to show its’ age a little now. It is still the same Win10x64 box with an RX580 GPU micron memory, tuned with its’ custom ETH firmware.
Sadly, this makes it not suitable at all, due to the maximum power consumption of the card being restricted down to around about 100watts, to play games on.
Whilst we could flash it back to original settings if we wanted to play games with it, it was not the purpose of the purchase.
So it will mine crypto until the day it decides to cease casting out nets of alphanumeric hashes.
Why power limit the card?
Contrary to the performed action, power limiting it actually made it more efficient at the task, right down to increasing overall hash rates.
We tested this theory with our original chosen coin to mine-ETC (Ethereum Classic), and our hash rates did indeed improve once we had altered the maximum power, and tinkered with the memory bootstraps.
When we started mining VTC (Vertcoin) on the card, we neglected to flash it back to stock. We took some notes and monitored it for a few days, and then flashed it to stock and tried again. Our rates were lower on stock settings with way more power consumption.
Needless to say, it got taken back to power limiting.
We still use the services of the same mining pool, miningpoolhub.com.
When our account reaches a set amount, the coin automatically withdraws to our Exodus Wallet.
We do not earn all that much with just a single GPU, but as we are on solar assisted power, the costs are not all that big.
As it is 2023, it is time to do our tests, and see what we can earn over the course of this year.
We were set back a little bit at the start of the new year due to 1 of our GPU fans dying. Fast forward to the 17th January and we have 2 new fans in there now.
The start of our mining is with ETC. We have been mining it since we got back online and rocking – apparently there were lots of windows updates, and node syncing with the Vertcoin blockchain, but from then on, we have been able to run a steady rate of between 0.004 and 0.0051 ETC every 24 hour period.
I just looked it up when typing this, and it equates to between approximately 13 and 16 cents per day AUD.
Not mind blowing that’s for sure, but it is crypto.
We have switched over to the VTC chain, so it is interesting to see that with the One Click Miner, we can get approximately 0.67 VTC per 24 hour period, which is around 13 cents AUD. An important note with this, is that we could not get linked in to miningpoolhub with our VTC set up. Maybe we need to do some fine tuning to our batch file or config. We will keep attempting, if only to see what the pool provides.
Now we have given a great list of sites that are worthy of your attention. Make sure that you add them to your claiming, for as it is known – Every Satoshi Counts!
April 2023 Update:
24th April:
For about 3+ weeks now, Our VTC miner has been happily chugging away at around 1.12VTC mined per day. Current CoinGecko rates show this to be around 474 BTC sats per day, or around 19.7 cents AUD.
Whilst we are still not able to retire on these rates, this is surely a great sign for Us personally, as it allows Our portfolio to build a little faster than before.
We have not done anything different – except for actively ensuring that we remain stable and online. The only tweak we have done, was a minor one, and that was just to speed up the fans for the temperature zones in the Radeon Software manager.
Specifically, this was a change to the P3, P4 and P5 fine tune fan controls, where P3 is 70% fans for 63 degrees celsius, P4 is 85% for 69 degrees celsius, and then P5 is a ramp to 92% fans for 85 degrees celsius.
As it is Autumn here, Our days are not getting much more than the mid 20s degrees celsius, so it is a lot easier for Our mining setup to efficiently do its’ thing without adding pedestal fans to the mix.
Come winter when it is colder, I will expect to alter these settings again, just so that the GPU fans do not kick in and out constantly.
It is going to be slightly interesting over the next few weeks, as the recent influxes of institution buying in to the major coins is surely going to trickle down to the more promising projects too.
..only time will tell.
September 2023 Update:
