Title: Receive free Bitcoins for completing offers
Post by: aarong11 on December 16, 2011, 03:06:24 PM
Hi everyone,

I've recently been developing a website which allows you to receieve Bitcoins for free by completing some simple offers such as completing surveys. The website is currently in beta and withdrawls are disabled for most accounts until January 10th 2012. After this date, most withdrawls will be completely automatic assuming that we have the funds to cover the transaction. WITHDRAWLS ARE NOW ENABLED FOR ALL ACCOUNTS

You can visit the website at http://bitcoffers.com/

A few tips -
Some offers are only available in certain countries. In order to increase the amount of offers you have available, try using a proxy or VPN from a country such as the UK.
Unfortunately, some of the offers are a little bit scammy. This is outside our control and due to the fact that we use an external provider (Peanutlabs). I recommend that you avoid any SMS subscription based offers.
If an offer does not properly give you points, click on the "report" link at the top right so that Peanutlabs can review it. If they find that you did properly fill out the offer, you will be manually given the points.

Please feel free to give any feedback or ask any questions you might have in this thread :)

Update - withdrawls are now enabled for all accounts, and should be instant as long as we have the bitcoins in stock!

So we get paid unless you don't have money?  Sounds like a solid business plan.

No, you get paid regardless, however for security reasons I can only keep so much in my bitcoin wallet at a time (for example, if someone managed to compromise the website somehow). The plan is to top up the bitcoin wallet every day. If there isn't enough in the wallet to withdraw at a given time, the request is put through as a manual one so that it can be verified and handled by a member of staff.

Ah I see you edited and reworded the post (or I misread it the first time), it makes more sense that way.

I've not reworded anything, although admittedly it might be a bit ambiguous but it made sense to me when I was writing it. If you spot anything else wrong with the post then let me know and i'll be happy to change it :)

UPDATE - Just added two-tiered referral system. Receive 10% points for every offer completed by somebody you refer, and 1% for everybody they refer. Why not send a link to your friends or put it in your forum signature? Points are paid directly into your balance and are redeemable instantly for Bitcoins.

I just visited your website. Besides the BitCoffer scripted in a funky font, the bold text below is the reason I, personally, opt to not view the other pages of your site.

Looking to get some BitCoins for free? Well, you came to the right place!

This probably sounds too good to be true, so here's a lowdown on how it works :

   1. Create an account with us
   2. Complete some simple offers in order to receive points
   3. Redeem your points for BitCoins!
   4. ??? (smiley)
   3. PROFIT!!! (Receive BitCoins)

NOTE : WITHDRAWLS ARE NOW ENABLED!
Want to (word missing?)     some some extra points? Check out our referral scheme!
If you have any more questions about how our system works, you should visit the FAQ.

That about sums it up. I recall writing like this when I was in high school. With that many errors on just the home page, I could only imagine what I'll find on the other pages. A well written home page speaks volumes to the customers you're trying to attract. This doesn't cut the mustard--not by a long shot!

I've tried a few other sites like this one and they never paid either. Actually the offers never even counted. I don't understand how these things work...

Thanks a lot! I'm going to read through that and hope it helps!

Phinnaeus - Thanks for the feedback. We are planning on a complete site overhaul as the primary course of action was just to get a site out with all of the required functionality as a proof of concept. I'm primarily a web developer and not a designer, and as you saw I couldn't design a decent website / content if somebody held a gun to my head. We will hopefully have a new design with associated content by early next month.

Travis12345 - I'm sorry to hear that the offers didn't pay out. Unfortunately we don't directly control the content of the offers, but if you can tell me which one it was then I can contact Peanutlabs and hopefully get them to rectify the problem. If you can send me a PM with the details of your account I can check the database to see if there was a problem on our end.
