Obtain wallet
We recommend Coinbase for your wallet. You'll need to create an account, verify your email address, then click on "Accounts" to view your Bitcoin receiving address.
Obtain microwallet
Each faucet has its own requirements for collecting coins. Most require the use of a microwallet to store your coins until you've reached a certain amount. This amount varies, and is required to minimize transactional costs. For this guide, you'll need a Faucetpay.com microwallet.
Register and Collect from Faucet
In this example, you'll need to register at FreeBitco.in to collect your Bitcoins.
