The 8 best free platforms to mine cryptocurrencies

$BTC $ETH $SOL

Do you want to start mining digital coins? Here are the best free options I found after months of testing them. I'm not going to lie to you, you won't get rich overnight, but something is better than nothing in these tough times.

1. Awesome Miner

This program saved me when I started! Compatible with Windows and Linux, Awesome Miner has been on the market since 2014. It was developed by a Swedish company and honestly, it's quite decent for beginners. Just download the program and start mining. That said, be prepared for your computer to sound like an airplane taking off.

2. BetterHash

Its slogan "put your PC to work" seems almost offensive when you see how little you earn at first, but well... It only works on Windows and allows mining BTC, ETC, and ETH. The best part is that it automatically selects the most profitable coins. At least you won't have to keep an eye on what's most worthwhile at any given time.

3. StormGain

This platform only mines Bitcoin, but it does so quite well. I use it sometimes from my mobile and it doesn't consume as much energy as others. It has a Spanish interface, which is a relief when you get lost among so many technical terms. Although let's be honest, the rewards are rather symbolic at first.

4. CryptoTab

I love this because you can mine while browsing the internet. Available for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS. They have a referral system that supposedly multiplies your earnings, but after inviting my whole family, I am still waiting to become a millionaire...

5. Kryptex

According to their website, you could earn up to 520 reais a month with a normal PC. Ha, I wish. With my mid-range computer, I barely make enough for a coffee a week, but it runs automatically in the background while I work, so I can't complain too much.

6. ECOS

This is not completely free, but it offers a trial period. After that, they charge you quite a bit. Honestly, I think it's more for professionals than for beginners like me who just want to try their luck in the crypto world.

7. PEGAPool

This is a mobile application that promises up to 0.01 ETH daily. Of course, that must be with some top-of-the-line super phone, because with my cheap Android I can barely see microscopic decimals appearing.

8. MinerGate

Compatible with almost any device. I use it on both my PC and my mobile. It automatically selects the most profitable currency based on your hardware, although with current Bitcoin prices hovering around 118,000 dollars, almost any currency seems attractive.

Bonus: EarnCrypto

It's not exactly mining, but you can earn crypto by completing simple tasks. I've spent hours watching ads and answering surveys to earn a few satoshis. It's not the most dignified way to get Bitcoin, but when the market is up like it is now, every satoshi counts.

WARNING! There are many scams out there promising free Bitcoin. Always do your research before giving out your personal information. I've seen colleagues lose their savings by trusting dubious platforms. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

And remember, mining consumes a lot of energy. My electricity bill went up by 30% when I started with this. Is it worth it? It depends on how much BTC is worth when you decide to sell.
