Well, it sounds easy but it is actually quite hard... I have tried a few things but they all failed... I will try to change the world in the future but for now, I'm just trying to utilize my server.
If you really wanted to mine, you could use something like awesome miner which optimizes for the most profitable coins. But it's not really a powerful rig, and honestly it sounds like you'd be better off continuing to do what you current work on and increase your skills there/get more clients - using your workstation for it's primary purpose
If things were that easy then everyone would figured out but I am sure you are no ordinary. You only need to focus.
Maybe you can start writing data scrapers in Python for clients, I know a friend who is making good money doing this for clients.
You can also run scrapers on your server to scrape different data. You can then sell scrapped data on Fiverr. I have sold an Excel file many times with 60k quotes in it.

This is a separate pc that works only few hours per day and I already use it to speed up my current work but it idles more than 1/2 of the day... So I'm just looking for a way to fully utilize it. I already have a lot of work so I'm looking for something that would not require a lot of work.

I'm searching for ideas every day but I have a lot of work to get done. I'm not looking so much for a hands-on method but instead for something that I can just set up and forget about.

But 100 sats at today's rates is $0.01.. so for every 100 times someone spins the faucet they would be giving away $1.
When you compare that to what can be earned from putting ads on a faucet, do you think that would be profitable for a faucet to give away $0.01 just for going to a page?
Like an RPM in the crypto space of 0.20 - 0.70 is pretty common, so each time someone sees an ad at a faucet the platform earns $0.0002 - $0.0007 but then pays people $0.01? Good business or bad business?

I completely get your point and why they are lowering rewards. In 2017 rpm was a few times higher so it made sense. It is not worth it anymore from my perspective, that was my point.

Yeah, I'll probably go with a targeted email scraping script.

And it's a fair point. Have you found any alternatives that you like? Any other ways to get free crypto like giveaways sites or anything?

I have boted a crypto giveaway site a while back but it disappeared. I won like $30 in BTC by creating new accounts with a referral link. But besides that, I haven't found anything that would be worth doing.
Have you checked storj for renting storage?

Well, use it as a server! Or, are you trying to imply that you have a good machine? A server should "serve" to begin with. I do not see anything mentioned like that in the rest of your post.

becoz its dont matters to whats his askeds.
Ok, I have a question. Why are you calling it a "server"? Did you make a physical machine or did you really buy a powerful server?

By server I mean a separate pc that is running 24/7.
