Affiliate Disclosure: I receive referral commissions if you use any of my referral links on this page. Hideout.tv, and partnered sites such as Mealninja.me, offer rewards for watching videos and their accompanying ads. Points earned on Hideout.tv, or any of the partnered sites, can be redeemed with a variety of rewards partners, but seem to be worth the most when redeemed on Lootup.me . Additionally, it is possible to Spin a Wheel daily on Lootup.me, which can give either extra points, or a bonus on points earned for 24 hours. Lootup.me also offers the opportunity to earn with surveys and offerwalls. Lootup offers a variety of ways to redeem points, including crypto and gift cards. Here are my referral links: https://hideout.co/viewerSignup.php?refer=1688836 https://lootup.me?refer=1688836 I will update this review and guide to be more detailed at some point, but for now, here are some payment proofs.

Brief Redbubble overview

 Note: This will be superceded by a more in-depth guide at a later date. Redbubble is a site where artists can upload digital copies of their artwork for sale, to be printed on various print on demand products such as coffee mugs, t-shirts, blankets, pillows, shower curtains, etc. When a customer buys a product off Redbubble, Redbubble will get a portion of the profit from the sale, and the artist will get the rest. Artists can customize their markup (their portion of the sale profit), but by default it is 20%. Note that given the costs Redbubble must pay, including materials, labor, advertising, etc., 20% may not sound like much for the artist, but it is actually higher than some competing websites offer. Plus if the artist wants more, they can set the markup higher, but note that this cost will be passed on to the customer. One thing that sets Redbubble apart from most other print on demand providers is that they provide you with both website hosting and a bit of advertising, making

Fire Faucet Review and Guide

Image
  Fire Faucet  is an online site for earning cryptocurrency. It includes a faucet, PTC ads, shortlinks, and a variety of surveys. It is a bit more confusing than some other faucet websites, but I have withdrawn successfully. A key point to note is that your balance is effectively stored in USD until withdrawn -- the crypto values shown are simply what you would get if you withdrew at any given point in time at current exchange rates.  Affiliate Disclosure: I receive referral commissions if you use my referral link , which appears multiple times on this page. Please note that Fire Faucet has some very annoying ads, and I believe I've seen a few that weren't safe for work. This, of course, is how they are able to afford to pay users, but please be informed before you decide whether you would like to try Fire Faucet. Fire Faucet offers a variety of withdrawal options including Dash, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Tether TRC20, Zcash, Tron, and Digibyte. Withdrawal via Bitcoin is al

Experimenting with Coinomi as my multicoin software wallet

Hey guys, just wanted to let anyone who reads this blog know that I am now experimenting with Coinomi as my multicoin software wallet. Jaxx Liberty has been great for the most part, but apparently it has difficulty with what it considers to be complicated transactions sometimes, and as a result, my Zcash got stuck in the Jaxx Liberty wallet and couldn't be exchanged for Bitcoin. However, the funds weren't lost, merely stuck. After researching the problem some, I downloaded Coinomi, and used by backup passphrase from Jaxx Liberty to move my wallets over to Coinomi. Now the desired transaction seems to be going through. Other benefits of Coinomi, based on an initial look at least, seem to be higher security and a greater number of supported cryptocurrencies. One downside is that Jaxx Liberty offered both Changelly Dynamic and Changelly Fixed, whereas Coinomi only gives one of those two options. I hope to write a more detailed blog post comparing Jaxx Liberty, Coinomi, and other s

Why I DO NOT recommend Money Birds (moneybirds.org)

Image
  Money Birds  appears to be a similar ponzi scheme to Golden Farm , but in Russian. If you go to the "Правила" (Rules) section of the website, you can read this: And if you use the automatic translation tool found at the top to translate it into English, you see this: Alright, so, according to the translated version, silver is the in-game currency, but you can't actually withdraw unless you get Cash Points. Cash Points are added to the game when people deposit real money (in rubles) to the game. However, depositing one ruble only gives the depositor the right to withdraw 40% of a ruble. Additionally, it also gives the person who referred the depositor the right to withdraw 20% of a ruble, and the person who referred that person the right to withdraw 10% of a ruble, and the person who referred that person the right to withdraw 3% of a ruble. The right to withdraw another 10% of a ruble is divided between all players who have been active within the past 24 hours.  Alright,

Swagbucks review and guide

Image
Swagbucks is a great way to earn gift cards online. The way you do it is you earn SB, the internal currency, and then redeem the SB for a gift card of your choice. 100 SB is basically equivalent to 1 US dollar, although some gift cards might be discounted, and the cheapest one costs 140 SB for a mere 1 dollar gift card, so it's probably best to wait until you have at least 300 SB before redeeming them for a gift card worth $3 or more. I believe, in theory at least, that if you got one of the Visa reward cards, you could use that to buy cryptocurrency from an exchange. However, for the purposes of my first and second payment proofs, which you can find near the bottom of this page, I simply got Amazon gift cards, worth $5 and $25 respectively. A word of warning for the privacy-conscious: Swagbucks did require that I verify my identity via either text message or snail mail prior to allowing me to redeem my SB for the first Amazon gift card. Also, please be sure to use a password of 2

Swagbucks preliminary thoughts

Update: Now that I have received my first payment and screenshotted it for payment proof, I have moved over most of this content to my Swagbucks review and guid e. I will leave these preliminary thoughts here for historical reasons, but please see my review and guide for more updated information. I won't be updating this to a review and guide until my first payout, in the form of a $5 Amazon gift card, finishes processing. Apparently, this process can take 5-10 days, but I have already earned the SB and am just waiting for the process to go through. Once it does, I will be able to post payment proof.
