FaucetPay does not charge you for 100 satoshis landing on your username. Most people lose money on chain withdraws, coin swaps, and the habit of splitting payouts.
What’s usually cheap or free
- a faucet or PTC credit to your FaucetPay account;
- holding dust in the dashboard until it adds up;
- an internal transfer to another FaucetPay user.
That’s the point of the hub: drops live until you decide to hit the chain.
What costs money
Withdraw to an external address — network fee plus whatever the service adds. The smaller the amount, the uglier the percent. Ten minimum withdraws cost more than one withdraw of the same total.
A swap inside the dashboard is spread. “Flip to USDT and cash out” on cents often eats two days of claims. Swap when you understand the rate, not to make the coin list prettier.
How not to feed the network
- On external sites that support FaucetPay, use the dashboard, not a personal BTC address.
- You can also claim and run PTC inside FaucetPay — same balance.
- Don’t withdraw until the fee is small relative to the amount.
- Read the fee for the selected coin at withdraw time, not “what the internet usually says”.
Referral, separately and honestly
We earn from activity of people who signed up via CryptoCurrents: PTC, offers, other dashboard actions. Sign up and forget — almost nothing. It isn’t a hidden subscription or an entry fee. It’s the service’s partner program, and we don’t hide it behind “just a handy wallet”.
When you no longer need the account
If you withdrew everything and you’re done claiming, you can just leave the account. Zero dust doesn’t get wiped for inactivity as often as on external faucets. If they change fees, that will be on their withdraw screen, not in this article. Check the number on the screen each time — don’t memorize yesterday’s fee.
