What do you guys think about the new version?

Better? Worse?

www.fiveminutecoin.com (http://www.fiveminutecoin.com)

no suggestion?  ???

Looks cool

"advertise now! only 0.0005 BTC per click!"
That's not right, is it?

oh.. I`m so sorry for that.. I forgot to change this.. ^^

Where is the cashout option?

it is in the field with the coin inside ("CLICK HERE TO GET SOME COINS..."). There is a blue border around it..

Oh, I thought that was one of the ads.

What would you do to make it more visible? ;)

Something simple like this:

Cool. New version is better version. It's still not completely obvious to the first time visitor what they need to do. (Wasn't to me.)

Suggestion one is a quick fix. Change text to "Click HERE to receive your FIVE Minute Coins."
Or something else. Just be sure to make it immediately, explicitly clear to the user what they need to do.

Suggestion two: Put a new three wide <div> at the bottom, use white-space to separate it vertically from the ads, place the call to action there.

Edit: PinkBatmans text is perfect. You should go with that.

How about now?

@elux: was that what you meant?

You iterate quick. :)
 
Better. But I still think "click here to get some coins" is vague,
compared to PB's suggestion of "click here to claim your coins".

Ok.. next time I update the site its changed to your suggestion.. but at the moment I cant reload it because there are to many visitors ;)

I`m gonna upload the new version tomorrow, cause there is a big exam and it is already 00:30 here in Germany..

I placed an ad in there for cryptoanarchy.com for 10000 impressions.  I was sure that the radio button was for 10000 impressions, but when it was running it was counting clicks down from 100 instead. 

What? One impression per second per user?

No, when you purchase there are two options, purchasing clicks or purchasing impressions.  I purchased impressions and instead it gave me clicks (but 1/100 the amount of course).

Oh.. I`m sorry for that.. Cant explain why this was happening..!? Next time you notice such an error please contact me via the email (info@fiveminutecoin.com) so I can change this! Had a big database exam today (and passed it ;) ) thats why the answer comes so late..

next time you buy clicks or impressions you will get some extras (either clicks or impressions) ;)

Would suggest that you at least try to resolve and/or connect to the URL before allowing it through.
Someone has set up a ad for "Gold Game Land" that points to http://www.your-ad-url.com/
Also remove the default and only prefill the field with http://
It could be easy, just "GET" the ad URL with wget/curl/LWP::UserAgent with a timeout of 3 seconds and then make sure you get a 200 back. If not, then the URL is invalid.

And STILL it crash IE9 sometimes by clicking the ads.

Thanks for your reply..

I changed the url to http://goldgameland.com/ and set the views to its start amount again..

You are absolutely right.. very good idea! I`ll try to implement this today ;)

20 posts here and not a single link to the site.

if you really want people to visit, make it easy.

are you gonna fix the IE9 crash or not?

If you tell me what exactly happend I`ll try to fix it.. It will be hard because if I test it with IE 9 it works fine for me, but please tell me what happend and I`m on it ;)

Clicking the ads, sometimes it render the error "A error with the tab caused Internet Explorer to close and open the tab again".
Just click on the ads for a looong time, lets say 100 different clicks.
The error appear random.

Ok.. I`m gonna fix this..!

Here is a link to the site:

http://fiveminutecoin.com/ (http://fiveminutecoin.com/)

Also it would be a great idea to put that url in your signature!

How about a box one the left or right margin that has the current bitcoin price?  And a ticker showing the latest bitcoin news?

I dont want to use this space for anything.. but what do you think about a permanent ad with the data in it?

Oh.. I hate the f****** InternetExplorer!!!!

How about now SEBASTIAN? I hope it works for you in IE now?! There was (and still is) a IE issue Microsoft should solve, so I wouldn`t recommend using such a browser!

If this error still occurs then please report this.. if I´m not online: info@fiveminutecoin.com



The url thing is on its way.. ;)

There is a url validating system now..

When you dont enter a valid url you are not able to setup an ad! Like sebastian wanted it ;)

I don't get it... You have to stay in front of the open page for it to work? Doesn't seem to make sens to me...

Who would stare at a webpage for five minutes non-stop?

Am I missing something?

(The 'How It Works' button does nothing on my browser - Chrome)

Stay there for 50 Seconds and you get 0.0025 bitcoin.. if you stay 5 Minutes you get 0.005 ;)

Chrome should work now..

It does indeed!  ;)

This actually makes sense if you're moving about, and not doing any thing in particular that requires your screen to be totally available!

That is the concept.. while waiting you can click some links and visit advertisers to get the chance to get more coins..

If there are any other problems please report so I can fix them ;)

Everything looks fine now!

Thanks..
If all works fine now, there should be more advertisers!? Is someone interested in advertising?

tried this again today and it seemed a little weird..

it was on 0.0025 and then it says "push your coins to 0.01 by clicking on ads", etc... so i did that and eventually it showed 0.01

so then, i entered my bitcoin address and hit enter.

i suppose at that point, most people would close the window, but i left it open as the count down still continued.

when the countdown got to 0, the "Your coins" went from 0.01 to 0.005 :D

i wonder how much i'll receive.

oh really?I thought I changed that already..

sorry for that.. I`m on it ;)

As long as you are paying your visitors for clicking on your ads, my willingness to pay for advertising on your site is VERY low. Why should I buy 1000 clicks from you when hundreds of them will be from the same, uninterested visitor?

The chance to get more coins depends on how long they stay on an advertisers site..! It is not just the click..


By the way: THIS APPLICATION WORKS ALSO WITH ENABLED ADBLOCK NOW!!!

Is the application easy to understand?

Bug

I log in to the site and the Your Coins display shows 0.0025

I click on the ads until the display changes to 0.01

I let the timer run out and the display changes to 0.02

I click on the center box which reads "Click Here To Claim Your Coins" and submit my address etc.

I later check that address to see how much I actually get paid:  0.005

I did this twice to confirm. It only paid out 0.005 both times. 

Thank you for posting this bug.. I`m on it ;)

EDIT: Ok.. BUG should be gone now!Thanks for reporting this! Please check it again. If you find any other bugs please report this (either here on this board or to info@fiveminutecoin.com )

I tried it again and I got the 0.02 this time. Thanks.

A couple other things...

Once when I tried it I got the captcha wrong ( couldn't see the right letters against the background ) so I refreshed the captcha with the circular arrow thingy to the right and tried it again and it gave me a warning message as if I was trying to get a second payment in less than 12hrs. 

And those operation fabulous ads on either side breaks one out of the page and when one goes back the timer is reset to 300.  That might upset some people who might expect them to act like the ads in the boxes. 

Please try it again.. I changed a few things.. ;)

It won't let me click the 'Send' button, I tried clicking it after the 300 seconds ran out and entered the CAPTCHA, and it wouldn't do anything.

Ooops.. I ran into some bugs.. but it should be gone now.. ;)

Are you guys happy with this version now? Or did you find any bugs?

If not.. feel free to advertise or receive some free bitcoins ;)

I can't access the site at all. 502 Bad Gateway.

FIVEMINUTECOIN is back with a new Server now!

www.fiveminutecoin.com (http://www.fiveminutecoin.com)

how about coins are added in increments of few thousand satoshis every second,
for all period of 5 minutes and than stop?

also, increments could get bigger towards the end of 5 min period
for example
 in first sec u get 1 satoshi, next second you earn 1.3 satoshis,
3.rd second gets you 1.7 satoshis...
 
so there would be visual incentive to stay on site , and stay longer



and make that number bigger (in screen size) :)

Thanks for the suggestion..

I will try to implement this somehow after I wrote my final bachelor exam ;)
There is no time now.. sry

It seems you still have got a lot of bugs.  Many times when I press the submit button after inputting an address and doing the captcha it either does nothing or gives me a message that I didn't wait long enough. I know I waited long enough and the "user state" slider thing on the right confirms that I waited long enough and am not using a proxy.  By waiting long enough I mean both waiting 12 hours and waiting for the timer to get below 250.

/edit:  Maybe it was sent and it just didn't put up the message that it was sent? Will wait to see if 0.01 arrives. 

Did it arrive?

Yes I got it when it seemed to be doing nothing ( no "payment sent" message ). There are still those other times when it gives that message about not waiting long enough when I have and the slider on the right confirms that I have. 

Just tried it again now and got the "Maybe you didnt wait!?" message. It has been well over 12 hours since I last tried because your site was down when I tried it yesterday.
And the slider on the right shows: How long do I have to wait for the next payout? 0 Minutes

Please try it again one more time.. it should be fixed now?!

I'm having a problem. Earlier today I waited the 300 seconds and requested coins as usual. But the coins I had still showed up as “0.0” and it told me “There are no coins available!” Just now I tried again, and it tells me I've hit the limit for my IP even though I haven't even gotten any coins in well over 12 hours.

Edit: And now the 12-hour timer seems to have reset again. What's going on? The only time it should reset is when I actually get coins…

Nope, got the "Maybe you didn't wait" message again.  It's a sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't kind of thing. 

I've had that happen too but I thought it got fixed because it hasn't happened in a while for me...
perhaps because I don't usually wait the whole five minutes anymore?

this is not working for me!

visited about 6 hours ago  and tryed to claim the 0.025 coins, put in my address and now 6 hours later there is not 0.00000025 in my account

went back to your site, this time waited the 300 secs and when I try to claim it says

"sorry.. your IP exeeded the limit.. try again in 12 hours!"

1 )  did I get the coins first time around?

2) why dont you tell people not to try again for another 12 hours THE FIRST TIME!

I think what seems to be happening is that the 12-hour count restarts every time a request for coins is attempted, whether it actually succeeds or not. The code should be changed so that the restart only occurs on success.

Hey,

I`m sorry for the late response..

I was working on these problems today and there were some (session variable) bugs. I hope it is gone now and this solves all your problems.
Usually your ip is written to the database only if your coinrequest is successfull..
There is also a UserState panel on the right which shows you how long you have to wait until the next request can be sent.

If these problems still occur please post it here again. Or even better.. send me an email (info@fiveminutecoin.com) ;)

Nope, got the "Maybe you didn't wait" message again...
