Many crypto websites are paying to faucetpay, yet to withdraw to a bank account, the money has to be transferred to an exchange. The faucetpay fees are rather high for withdrawal so how often do you withdraw your money from Faucetpay?

I'm not active on many faucet sites so I don't have much crypto balance on faucetpay, so I rarely withdraw crypto, not long ago I tried to withdraw Bitcoin 5000 satoshi but the transaction was around 6000 satoshi, so I canceled it. Transaction fees for each crypto are different, but in general faucetpay charges a transaction fee of around 2.99%

This rate is reasonably fair. That means that for every dollar, you would only be charged 3 cents The next challenge would be the network fees of the particular cryptocurrency you want to withdraw.

Faucetpay have policy when you send coins between their customers, fee is zero or very small. From that reason many faucets use this microwallet. But when you want withdraw money from their system, fee is big.

Users and faucet owners have different accounts, the faucet owner will deposit their crypto to pay if a user claims payment, so it will save on transaction fees. so faucetpay acts as a third party or escrow.

Their fees for withdrawing BTC are very high at 6000 satoshi , in comparison for Doge their fees are lower. So is it advisable to convert BTC to Doge or LTC which withdrawing to the crypto wallet?

Yes, Doge has lower commissions, or even Solana and LTC have even lower commissions, you can try to withdraw faucetpay directly in these cryptos to try to save on commissions, BTC commissions for example does not depend on faucetpay but on the chain, which is currently expensive.

For me I am not into the crypto currency and that I have never engaged myself fully in the venture. The reason being that I simply disliking them for sure.

You are implying that if one gets payments in BTC, the person should swap it to LTC and withdraw to get a reasonably fair fees to be paid. Won't that be double fees for the two operations?

It all depends on the amount of course, I'll explain, if you have $20 in BTC, the swap is 5% more or less of the total amount to be exchanged, if you change $20 to LTC you will get $19 in LTC, and if after this you withdraw LTC to your wallet the LTC network fee is super cheap 0.01$ or less, on the other hand the faucetpay fee for direct BTC withdrawals is 7000 sats, that is 2$, so it would really cost you more than that So change them to LTC and withdraw them that way, but for higher amounts all this changes, since the network rate does not vary and the swap would be much more expensive, ultimately and to summarize, for small amounts swap to LTC, For large amounts, withdraw directly in BTC, sorry for the long explanation but it is tedious to explain.

I have been using it for over 5 years and I think the transaction fee is not too much even though I do not use it all the time. It is still good and it is what everyone should be able to afford

No, the commissions are really not too high, and in general they depend a lot on the actual commission of the blockchain that you want to withdraw, as has happened with the case of the increase in the fee on the bitcoin network.

That is good and some people even prefer to store their cryptocurrency inside it since it is a wallet and it can still do the same thing that other wallets like Trustwallet can do

I never usually leave there more than $ 100, when more or less I reach that amount I withdraw it to my cold wallet, it is not safe to leave a lot of money in faucetpay in my opinion

You can swap it but first check how much Faucetpay take fee for swap coin. Calculate is it worth swap from BTC in LTC, pay transfer fee and again convert it into BTC. If this is your plan.

Really?
I actually feel it is safe but putting a lot of money like the $100 you keep there is not very safe to me. The only wallet I can trust is Trustwallet since it is the only one I've tried

Yes, I have never had any problems with faucetpay or anything like that, certainly, leaving amounts up to 100 dollars there could be risky, but well, so far it's been fine and without problems.

I love how you said that. There are some wallets that should be trusted with a lot of money and there are some of them that we should only put a little money inside it

Honestly, for me $100 is not a lot of money and for another person it may be, just leave there only what is good for you, when you have something that is substantial for you, withdraw it.

That is true and it depends on each person. The truth is that $100 may not be a lot of money for some people and it may be a lot of money for someone like me so it depends
