So if you’re a frequent CCN reader, you probably have seen the word ‘TOR‘ come by in a few articles.The Onion Router is an open network that allows users to browse the internet anonymously.Because it is open-source, the TOR network is free to use for anyone who wants to make sure his or her privacy is respected.Great news, but did you know you could earn Bitcoin for helping to keep TOR online?Even better, did you know you could do it by using your smartphone or tablet?To help you understand this, we will first give a brief explanation on how the TOR network functions.Political dissidents on Reddit illustrated this in a simple manner: The way the Tor network works is by passing your connection through multiple nodes that only know the previous peer they connected to and not all others.Think of it this way.If I want to send something from connection X to server Y then connection Y and X both know each others IP address.No one is private.So what Tor does is say route connection X through node A then from there to B and from there to C then arrive at Y. Now what happens is since each node/peer/connection only knows the IP of the previous, nobody can determine where the traffic came from or went to.

The whole chain isn’t known.The longer the chain, the more secure.The less load on it the faster.Essentially the way it works is there is the clear net which is the normal Internet.Then there is the Tor network.Exit nodes are the nodes that bridge Tor to the clear net.Relays are nodes that exist only within the network itself and can not interface with what is outside of Tor.cat bot bitcoinEssentially they are what is vital to keeping communication secure and preventing a link from being established between nodes.twins bitcoin exchangeSince an exit node interfaces with the clear net and the person who runs it is bridging completely anonymous traffic, then everything that passes through the exit node is traced to it.litecoin gbp exchange rateSo if someone tweets American Airlines saying I got a bomb and that traffic passed through your exit node the IP is linked back to you.litecoin miners hardware

A Tor relay, on the other hand, doesn’t interact with the clear net.It only interacts with other relays or exit nodes.So as such by running a relay node you never expose what traffic passes through you to the clear net.An exit node is both an exit and entrance to the Tor network.Relay nodes only exist within the network.Now that we have cleared up any questions about the TOR network, it is time to get to the part where you can earn bitcoins.bitcoin atm brazilThe relay nodes that were discussed before are in fact people like you and me.litecoin market analysisThrough the use of software, everyone is capable of letting their computer act as a relay node.By doing so, these nodes support the TOR network.The people running them are listed at Oniontip with their stats and Bitcoin address.The community can choose to donate Bitcoin to everyone listed at that website.

This is a way of saying thank you to the people who actively help keeping TOR alive.This is all doable from any home computer with a decent internet connection.Some redditors have found a way to get this working on Android devices as well.You start by downloading Orbot.This open-source app can be found in the Google play store and is maintained by the Guardian Project.After tweaking the configuration a little bit, this piece of software turns your Android device into a working relay node.Make sure to run the program when starting up your smartphone or tablet.Also keep in mind that it takes a few hours for your node to show up in Oniontip.If you’re looking for more information on how to get this working for your particular device, take a look at the Reddit topic.Lots of tips and info is given there by various users.While some people have successfully set up their configuration, lots of others are still struggling with it.Let us know if you got it working and what particular bumps you ran into.

In one sense that makes this an easy article to write – its not difficult to learn how to earn bitcoins.In other ways it makes it very tough to write, because there is no ‘one-size fits all’ answer which is going to suite everybody who might end up on this page.In all honesty the best way to earn bitcoin is just to stop thinking about it as something different from the regular fiat money that you use everyday.How do you get money usually?Well, that is probably how you should go about earning digital currency as well.But of course I do realize that its not always that simple.Perhaps you just want to get hold of a small amount of Bitcoin to try it out before buying some.You may also be struggling to earn money at all, and are interested in exploring new opportunities within this exciting new economy, or using it to supplement your income.And, of course,not very many bosses are going to be happy to pay you in BTC, so you may not think it is possible for you to earn bitcoin the same way you earn fiat money (hint: it is possible).

If any of those scenarios apply to you, then hopefully this page can be of some help, at least pointing you in the right direction.Because there are so many different opportunities out there, my guide on how to earn bitcoin will not provide a comprehensive list of every single website.Instead I will introduce you to around 10 general strategies with some links to a few of the best websites for each one and information about how to find more.The 101 websites from the title includes sites listed in other Cryptorials articles which this page links to.The folks at KoCurrency are creating a growing list of off-the-shelf platforms for people who want to create a business in the digital currency niche.These platforms range from out-of-the-box multivendor marketplaces, bitcoin directory websites, social networks, auction sites and even bitcoin betting or bitcoin lottery websites.You simply brand and market your platform and accept digital currency as payment for your services.You can check out their growing list of platforms on KoCurrency’s main page.

You’ll find some other tipping platforms further down the page, but I thought it was worth pointing you to the Cryptorials reviews of BitForTip and Zapchain to kick things off.BitforTip is a Q&A site where the best answer gets a bitcoin tip, and Zapchain is a reddit style social network where you can earn tips for posting and commenting.If you are just looking for a quick and easy way to get a small amount of bitcoin then faucets might be exactly what you are looking for.A faucet is just a website which gives free coins to every visitor.You will have to fill out a captcha to prove you are a real life human being and not an automated bot trying to game the system, you may need to let your balance build up to a threshold level before the coins are sent (so they aren’t all eaten up by transaction fees), and there will usually be a limit on how often you can claim from each site; but apart from that its just as simple as providing your wallet address and asking for some free coins to be sent to you.

Some of these site are set up by enthusiasts who just want to introduce new people to digital currency, but today most faucets support themselves using advertising placed on the site.You are certainly not going to earn a living using faucets – even if you are living in a basic wooden hut in the very cheapest location in the world you would probably not be able to do that.But you can quickly and easily get a few coins to get yourself started and make a test transaction or two to get familiar with using digital currency without needing to buy any coins.Here are some of the best faucet websites:cet Unless you have access to the best wholesale electricity prices in the world, you probably aren’t going to make a profit from buying mining hardware to run at home, although some people still like to do it as a fun way to earn bitcoins which also contributes something to running the network.For others cloud mining is a more realistic alternative – but beware, there has been a number of instances of con artists setting up a fake cloud mining business which is actually just taking people’s money only for the business’s owners to disappear overnight with all the coins.

To help you out with finding the real ones and side-stepping the scams we’ve compiled a comparison of what we think are the best cloud mining sites.Using one of these won’t guarantee you a profit, there are many factors which influence your earnings including the price per coin, hash rate, electricity price and so on, so make sure you do your homework, but it should give you the best possible start.There are also some offers and bonuses listed, such as a free welcome bonus you can get just for registering.One step up from faucets are GPT websites where you ‘get paid to’ do various quick tasks, sometimes called ‘microtasks’.Again, you are not going to make a decent living for yourself by using these websites, but if you have time on your hands and you are looking for something you can start straight away and continue to do whenever you have a few spare minutes, and which will earn you a few more coins that you can get from just claiming from faucets, then these sites may be worth a look.

Typically tasks can range from watching youtube videos that somebody is paying to promote, to clicking ad links and spending 30 seconds on a website, to filling out surveys and completing offers, or even doing a little bit of basic data entry.Here are some of the best sites to ‘get paid to’ do simple tasks: If you can create premium digital content then you will find that Bitcoin provides the perfect way for you to sell it over the internet.Of course if you are going to produce digital content then you may prefer to create your own website rather than allowing somebody else to publish it for you.There are loads of great ad networks and affiliate programs that will help you to generate bitcoin revenue from your site.Take a look at these articles for more information and ideas about publishing your own website: You don’t even need to have your own website to start generating an income – if you are have a strong social media presence or you fancy yourself as a bit of a marketing guru, you can earn some free coins through social media.

Here are some of the best websites that may help you do that: If you have a job then you can get paid in Bitcoin.It doesn’t even matter if your boss has never heard of cryptocurrency or even if they are a strident critic of it – you can get your regular wage paid to you in digital currency without your boss even knowing about it.The following services will take your paycheck and either convert the whole thing, or just convert a portion of it, and automatically send the coins to your digital wallet.If you are looking for some spare cash to provide a one-off boost to your finances then digging through your old stuff and picking out a few things that you no longer need to sell on over the internet is a good way to go.But of course you can’t just go to eBay if you want to sell your stuff for BTC.Fortunately, there are some great alternatives out there which let you do exactly that.This may also be a great way for  you to start off your own business if have something that people want to buy.

Here are some of the best sites to earn bitcoin by selling stuff online: Many website today are based around ‘user generated content’.That means they provide a platform, whether its a social network, a blog publishing site, an image sharing site, or a thousand other things, and their users actually fill it up with useful stuff.To many people that doesn’t seem very fair, because the site’s users are providing most of the value but getting nothing in return.Revenue sharing is a way to even out that imbalance by paying part of the advertising revenue generated by a piece of content (which could be anything from a social media post to a video) o the person who originally posted it.There are loads of revenue sharing sites out there which pay in bitcoin, but here is a selection of the best ones: Yes, you read that right – you can get paid to play video games.Of course you probably aren’t going to earn all that much, but I can’t think of a more enjoyable way to get paid.
