Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to the questions people ask most before sending anything.
Is this site a wallet, an exchange, or a charity?
None of those. Spare Some Crypto is an independent, single-owner site that publishes public wallet addresses. It doesn't hold funds on your behalf, doesn't offer accounts, and isn't a registered nonprofit. Sending crypto here works like dropping change in a tip jar — a direct, personal transfer, not a transaction with a company.
What happens to the crypto I send?
It goes to the wallet owner directly, the same as any other crypto transfer. Nothing is sent back, and no service is performed on your balance — this isn't a swap, a deposit, or a conversion tool.
Is it safe to send crypto to a public address?
Sharing or sending to a public wallet address doesn't put your other funds at risk — an address is a public identifier, not a key to your wallet. The only real risk is the usual one in crypto: double-check the coin and network match before you send, since transfers can't be reversed.
What if I send the wrong coin or use the wrong network?
Crypto transactions are generally irreversible once confirmed, and sending an asset on the wrong network (for example, ERC-20 tokens to a Tron address) often means the funds are unrecoverable. Always confirm the coin and network match before sending — see our how-to-send guide.
Is there a minimum amount I can send?
No minimum. That's the point — this exists specifically for balances too small to be worth trading or moving anywhere else.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There's no signup, login, or account of any kind. You copy an address and send from whatever wallet or exchange you already use.
Why would I give away crypto instead of just holding it?
You don't have to — holding onto a small balance is a completely valid choice too. This is only relevant if you've already decided a balance is small enough that you'd rather not deal with it, and would prefer to send it somewhere rather than let it sit indefinitely. See our full breakdown of what to do with leftover crypto.
Is sending crypto here a dusting attack?
No. A dusting attack is when someone sends you unsolicited crypto to track your wallet activity. This is the opposite: you're the one choosing to send crypto away, on your own initiative. See our full explanation of dusting attacks for the distinction.
