You can register, watch some videos, do a quiz and earn Stellar Lumens (XLM), EOS or OXT or COMP (Compound) or BAND by signing up to Coinbase Earn and once you're registered get another $100 or so of other altcoins which you can exchange into bitcoin or ethereum.

Want to use your computer to mine cryptocurrency? Cudominer lets you mine a variety of cryptocurrencies and you will get a bonus 10,000 satoshis once you mine your first 5,000 satoshis worth of crypto. Note, this could potentially cause damage to your machine as we learned the hard way so do it at your own risk.

Presearch is a crypto based search engine which lets you search their own as well as all major other search engines. Earn PRE each day as you search.

Finally, if you want to try a faucet to earn small amounts of crypto which pay out when you reach a certain threshold of bitcoin, you can roll the dice and potentially get up to $100 in bitcoin once an hour by registering with Free Bitco.in and doing their roll. Once you earn 0.0003 bitcoin, this is transferred to your nominated wallet.
