Title: Fun way to get started with bitcoins (and get some for free)
Post by: moocoin on February 07, 2014, 09:08:35 PM
I thought this would be a cool way for beginners to get started with Bitcoin:
I created a site called MooCoin (https://www.moocoin.com) that gives you a small amount of bitcoins for free, then lets you play games with them against other people.  Whoever wins the game gets the other person's bitcoins.  When you run out of bitcoins, we give you more to play with.  It's completely free to play, so there's no risk to you.  You don't even need to signup or create an account.
If you win enough games to get up to .00015 bitcoins, you can cash out to your own wallet.

It shows how easy it is to move bitcoins around in the system.  You could never do something like this with real money.
Each player also gets a personalized address where they can send their own bitcoins if you want to play games for higher amounts than we give you.

Hello,
I clicked the button, recieve bitcoins and completed the puzzle.
When I click collect Bitcoins I just see a pupup with 500 but nothing adds in my balance.

EDIT: I just tried Internet explorer and it worked fine.

So good luck :)

Yeah a little exposure and this site have the potential to attract members. can admin afford the signature campaign, or other form of advertisement here nd there , one thing i'll suggest is to let members create acc/ because every time i visit your site my bal. turns to  0.00.?

An account is created as soon as you go to the site.  Just bookmark the URL and when you come back, you'll automatically be logged back in to your account.  Also, don't share your URL with anyone, because that's your credentials!

I'd love more exposure to the site, but I don't have a ton of money to pay for the ads on this forum.  We have a referral program.  Whenever someone signs up on your referral code, you get 10% of the fees we collect from them, for life.

We need to find some way to get traffic.  Once there are enough people online, the games will be a lot of fun.  We're also adding a third game right now - Our best one yet!

Thanks,
MooCoin

May be look for some partners who can invest $$/BTC , people like me can only give you ideas , hire a programmer because acc/ are required there is not much coding for that, atleast signing in just with BTC address like all those btc faucets do is the minimum requirement.

There are accounts.  As soon as you go to the site, you get an account setup for you automatically.  It's just a lot simpler than what you're used to.  I don't need your email or password.  Just make sure you always go back to the same URL and you'll be automatically logged in to your account.  It's a method that many bitcoin related sites use.
The reason we don't ask you for an address to use is that by controlling the address pool, we can do off-chain transactions.  Otherwise, we couldn't offer games at the micro-levels we do today - the miner's fees would make it impossible.

Thanks for the feedback.  We're always looking for ways to make the site better, and how it works more clear!

I have exactly the same problem with latest firefox.
It seems the site (well, at least the faucet) doesn't work in firefox....

Also got few times 504 error, some non-sense JS pop-ups during the game.

It's a fun one, but need some more coding, not only traffic :)

504s are fixed.  If you grab a screenshot of the JS error and send it to me at admin@moocoin.com, I would appreciate it!

It's probably legit, but with that said I wouldn't say it's worthwhile.

If you are really helping the newbie why not pay more since you will earn more from the traffic . help ?

We don't make money from the traffic.  If you know a way we can, I would love to hear it ;)

It's fun definitely - only how do I know the bots are not cheating? Lost everything in minutes. Oh well, maybe it's just me - thank you anyway.

Right now, the bots don't support provably fair games.  In reality, the bots were an after thought to let people play small games when there were no human players online.  The good news is that you can play with free faucet bitcoins as much as you want, so there's nothing to lose.  We're making a couple of changes to make this even better:
1)  Some things that will make people more likely to play against each other, rather than against the bots
2)  Provably fair bot play

Thanks,
MooCoin

For me it worked with firefox as much as I played, that was 1 game, but still.

Nice service, new comers will be very grateful and interested in it I think. As OP stated moving Bitcoins in the system is very easy and this should be one of the main attraction for the other people.

I agree with you, simple as it may seem. It's really enjoyable and fun. Though it may take me a long time before I can withdraw some BTC, it's a nice and cool way to get started with BTC. In my free time, I'll consider playing on your site again.

Hope you could add up more games in the near future. Best of luck.
