I started with 0 sats and wanted to see if I could earn any without using money.
Here’s what I did — maybe it’ll help someone else starting out:
1. Install Speed Wallet
Super easy Lightning wallet for Android. Took me like 1 minute. No KYC.
2. Join Stacker News
This site gives you free “cowboy credit” so you can post even if you have 0 sats.
I made one post about my experience as a total newbie… and someone tipped me sats.
That was the moment it clicked: Lightning actually works.
3. Withdraw to Speed Wallet
Once you receive real sats (from tips or upvotes), you can withdraw to your wallet.
No banks. No ID. Just Bitcoin.
Other apps I also tried:
- Fountain.fm → earn sats by listening to podcasts
- Slice (Android) → earn sats by browsing
- WheelofSats.com → free spins every 5 mins
