I get this when I try to submit an address at redcoins.co: Warning: file_get_contents( http://exitlist.torproject.org/exit-addresses) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden in /home/redcoins/domains/redcoins.co/public_html/verifym.php on line 101 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/redcoins/domains/redcoins.co/public_html/verifym.php:101) in /home/redcoins/domains/redcoins.co/public_html/verifym.php on line 6 if you hit back button it will refresh the page and give you your running total Thanks. By looking at those warning messages I figured it is just a problem with displaying the verification page and not a problem with receiving the submission. Still it would be nice if it got fixed. |

Thanks, I'll add it to the list on the next update. It is easy to verify those coinbox sites when you can see the pending payout show up in coinbox right away. |

Bitvisitor is broken. When the coinchat site comes up in the rotation the top bar, where the 'next' button should appear after 5 minutes, disappears... and so one can't move on to the next site.
The green next button is way off to the right of the screen, so if your browser is too narrow, the button is not visible. And there's no scroll indicator or even a way to scroll to the right on the top. The only solution is to widen your browser. I tweaked the css for that site to always show it on the left side so it doesn't bother me anymore. That is not the problem. My browser is plenty wide enough. When that coinchat site comes up in the rotation the whole BitVisitor upper bar, which holds the timer and the 'next button' etc., goes away. That's an old problem with Bitvisitor. This is the first I've encountered it. It would be nice if bitvisitor responded to messages sent to them via their contact form. I guess I will just have to stop using it since one can't get to see any sites after the coinchat one comes up and breaks the process... |

Bitcrate ( currently empty ) seems to be changing things around again... but it is not clear to me what the "searching for your address" is about: BitCrate @BitCrate: "Okay, here's what we're going to do: You need more than 0.0001BTC to get paid, and you'll be able to get info by searching for your address!"  |

You want adoption by the criminal elements? Then you expect it to go on an exchange? You are living in a dream world NEO!
You are right I should stick with fiat money, like dollars, which can't be used for criminal activities. LOL lol That was funny! I use fiat to pay taxes how about you? speaking of criminal activities... but you trolls are wandering farther and farther off topic and the original topic has been discussed and debated ad nauseum already on these forums so I'm done here. And if Bitcoin is dead to you and you like your fiat so much what are you trolling around on these forums for? |

" How about people who want to send money to anyone they want without some middle man getting in the way and charging a high fee,
or arbitrarily freezing their funds because they don't approve of the transaction... how about merchants who also don't want middle men
charging them high fees as well as not having to worry about chargebacks... How about migrant workers who want to send money back
to their families... We will probably see greater adoption in the third world than anywhere else because of its advantages over existing systems.
Bitcoin is a lot more than some commodity to be traded like gold. It is people who only see it as that who are missing the whole idea behind Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is a revolutionary global peer-to-peer decentralized payment system with very low fees. And it works just as well at $1 per BTC as at $1000 per BTC. "
i agree especially illegal drug traffickers NYC;)
Yes, and don't underestimate the size, scope and influence of the black market... or what they call "System D" these days. It accounts for "trillions of dollars in commerce and employs fully half the world’s workers." Whatever business consenting adults want to carry out among themselves, as long as they are not hurting anyone else ( like governments do all the time ), is fine with me. Just because some State creates a law for its own benefit doesn't mean that law is right and moral. But Bitcoin is certainly being embraced by more than just that segment of the global economy. And even if exchanges and other BTC services get regulated that will not keep one from using it as a digital p2p currency apart from those things... just like one can use cash - which is still the preferred currency among drug dealers etc. |

I agree about mining however you are missing the whole Idea of bitcoin as being adopted by the people. Who are these people?
How about people who want to send money to anyone they want without some middle man getting in the way and charging a high fee, or arbitrarily freezing their funds because they don't approve of the transaction... how about merchants who also don't want middle men charging them high fees as well as not having to worry about chargebacks... How about migrant workers who want to send money back to their families... We will probably see greater adoption in the third world than anywhere else because of its advantages over existing systems. I'm not speaking for MooC Tals, but the adopters you've listed just don't seem to be ... adopting. Have you been paying attention to the news out of Africa in regards to Bitcoin? Have you noticed what is happening in Argentina? And it is still very early days... hardly anyone knows anything about Bitcoin yet. If the existent user base begins to erode (GPU miners shifting to altcoins, etc.), it's hard to see that as good news for Bitcoin as a whole.
I see no signs of this erosion you speculate about... but I see thousands of Asics being sold to very many people, not just big organizations. I see, and hear about, many developers etc. working on many projects; building the necessary infrastructure to support a wider adoption. And if Bitcoin doesn't make it none of those scam clone coins will go anywhere either... and how many people are interested in those shit coins other than get-rich-quick speculators? How many real developers take any of them seriously? |

The term "Revolutionary" has been debased by pitchmen. Events are only "revolutionary" in hindsight. The fight's still on -- it's just unrest, uprising -- whatever you want to call it. If Bitcoin wins -- the winners will justly call it revolutionary. And in a revolution, having the miners on your side is a big win.  It is not revolutionary in that sense... evolutionary may be a better term. One perhaps would need to be a computer scientist and know the history of digital money to understand it fully. |

Most people will not be miners. Most people don't mine gold. Most people don't grow their own food. Most people don't build their own cars.
Most people will not be miners. Anyone who had a belief that the Bitcoin network would someday have billions of miners was simply delusional. Reality is crashing into that delusion and that is why we get threads like this.
Decentralized doesn't require 100% of users to mine Bitcoin. The reality is today many people <gasp> don't mine. Do you think most of the shops using Bitpay are also miners? Anyone think namecheap has nothing better to do then build a bunch of GPU rigs in their datacenter? I made enough from Bitcoin related services that it is now my sole employment and (I know this will be very difficult to comprehend) I don't mine. My GPU rigs went dark in January. Gavin collects a salary developing the client. The list goes on and on.
The idea that mining = Bitcoin is simply a delusion.
Now Bitcoin does need to be decentralized. It would be optimal to have four or five companies producing hardware competing on cost, efficiency, features, etc. We aren't there yet. BFL shares a lot of the blame for that. They simply weren't ready in 2012 (lolz it is funny how not ready they were) to make the kind of promises they did. That accelerated the time table. People stopped working on FPGA and rushed ASIC plans. Had BFL been even slightly more realistic about ASIC products the transistion would be be a little less rushed. All that is water under the bridge though.
In time KnC, ASICMiner, BFL, Avalon, etc will all have sufficient capacity to have reasonable delivery timeframes. New players will emerge, better tech will be developed, life will go on. Not everyone will be a miner. I was forced out of mining because of a lack of time and in hindsight it was the great. Someday I will buy an ASIC rig, probably a small one (whatever that means in future hashing power) and just let it mine on p2pool. It won't be a way to get rich, it won't be a hope that $1,000 in gear will someday make me a billionaire. As long as it can break even and convert electricity into coins I will be happy. I probably am not alone in that respect. A lot of people have small realistic goals. Thousands of people with modest amounts of hashing power will secure the network. Now if you WANT to be a professional miner well the days of just buying 20 GPU from NewEgg and making a fortune are over (if they ever existed) it is going to require real capital, real resources, real commitment. So those at that fork in the read think about what you want to do and be realistic about it.

Maybe the list could have a little more organization, like sorting by reward and frequency. Some of the sites offer higher minimum prizes, 1000 satoshi per captcha, while all the many coinbox sites are just 100 satoshi per captcha.
also, listing the minimum payout (and any payout fee) would help the user figure out how long they have to hit a faucet before they can get a payout.
Things change too much with these sites to make that practical... maybe if maintaining this list was my full time job... These things are easily determined after one runs through the list a couple time. Following this thread also will allow one to hear all kinds of feedback on these various sites: which site is down; which one has changed its payout structure; which is the highest paying; which pays out most regularly; which one is often empty... etc. etc. If it is a huge hassle I can help you for free Portnoy. PM me if interested. There isn't a big problem with maintaining this list, and despite how it might appear there is a logical system behind how it is organized... based mainly on what sites have been on the list the longest and on reliability... etc. But of course feel free to post here in this thread any information on any of these sites which you feel is relevant. Thanks Bitcointree and btcflow should be on the top of the list! Reason? These sites belongs to me But lots of people were ahead of you in starting free bitcoin sites.  And I am sure anyone coming to the list will go through 'all' the sites and they will no doubt keep coming back to the ones they like no matter where they are in the list. |
