I never really spent time chasing other coins, but I did go through a similar process as you with realizing that many of the easy ways to start stacking weren't worth my time.

I used to spend a lot of time taking surveys, now I don't even bother looking at them. Even when they advertise a decent return for the estimated time, it seems like I always got rejected after a couple of minutes.

Since you mentioned freebitcoin several times, I do want to make a point about it. The faucet may not be worthwhile (good luck accumulating enough to ever afford the withdrawal cost), but they do offer better-than-fair odds on sports betting. I explained that in this post: #342765

Thanks for this -- I'd actually seen some of your comments about betting in ~stacker_sports posts, and had planned on asking about it, so I'm glad there's already a post answering it. I've looked at their betting a few times, and the time bonus seems like something that could definitely help maximize sats.

And yeah, I quickly rejected surveys as a way to stack -- one of the biggest wastes of my time of them all.

I'm still not sure exactly how early you have to be to get better than fair odds. It's determined by a combination of the time bonus and how much has been wagered, already. Generally, though, if you get bets in while the time bonus is still over 90%, you're going to get good odds.
