@jamboom apparently doesn't want more users.
As I pointed out above, limiting payouts to $1,000 a month means limiting the amount of active users as well.

There isn't really much new with these updates, whether you get stuff pegged to US$ that gets converted to crypto upon withdrawal or you get crypto right away in a quantity that is also pegged to US$ makes no difference in the long run, it's an advantage for the site while prices go continuously up and an advantage for the users while prices of cryptos go down, in the long run it's the same thing.
I.e. I have recently sold all my Doge, because from current course Doge has nowhere to go but down and where I obviously lost some 10% value in transfer fees and exchange rate, getting my Doge at CMG converted to US$ means I get the conversion done without losing 10%.

Side note: ALL of this is EXCLUSIVELY the result of extremely long withdrawal times.
If CMG would execute withdrawls without any delay right at the time of withdrawal request there wouldn't be a loss for CMG from paying out later when courses of cryptos are higher.
Upon rising courses in the crypto market instant withdrawals are simply cheaper for the site AND would make much happier users.

The only really new thing is the "lottery" for withdrawals.
That's like going to the bank to withdraw money from your account and being told you need a luck to get it.
It will essentially force users to try and withdraw as often as possible, always as soon as one reaches the minimum and that means the site will have to pay multiple times the transfer fees, while with larger withdraws the over all fees for the site would be less, or in other words @jamboom is shooting himself in the foot.

Furthermore limiting payouts to $1,000 a month also limits the potential for the site to grow.
The more users there are, the less percentage of users will be able to withdraw, the time it takes on average before you get a withdrawal request transferred will become longer and longer and the longer it gets the more users will give up and run away.
This will kinda balance the average time a withdrawal will take, but at the expense that the site cannot grow anymore.

If that's not enough, then a not growing amount of users will also mean a limited amount of revenue from ads which due to increasing competition in the market will become lower and lower.
Or in short: Under these conditions CMG will slowly but steadily go down the drain.
In other businesses they call this a "race to the bottom", where cuts on one end lead to shrinking revenue on the other end which lead to further cuts on the first end.

Last but not least, if ALL cryptos are now converted to virtual coinz that are all pegged to US$, where all of them have the same performance index, then what's the point of making that different coinz in the first place?
Why not do ALL mining and ALL crypto missions for just ONE kind of coin, call it dollarz or whatever and upon withdrawal let the user choose what crypto he wants it converted to.

Maybe it helps you figuring out where in the cue you are if I tell you, my LTC withdrawal to wallet from jan 29 came through today.

I'm not marking you as a screaming cheater, I don't know you, so I cannot tell whether what you say is true or not.
You may judge yourself, whether you belong to the cheaters or to the unfortunate handful of false positives the automated system generates, for me both of these are equally possible.
In the overall picture of ALL users making claims of scam here, I'm certain there will be a majority of actual cheaters, but I would never point to an individual user I don't know in person.

That just MIGHT be, because well over 90% of all faucet users either have multiple accounts or use a VPN or try other ways of cheating.
It's a known fact that NOBODY screams louder than a screwed cheater.
Rest assured for ever single user claiming there would be a scam here, there are 100s if not 1000s who get their money, those just never see a reason to write anything in a forum like this one.

There will certainly be a few users where the automated system at Coinpot generates a false positive, who then due to lack of support won't get their money, but that's a tiny minority relative to the vast amount of users who either really cheated or get paid without problems.

Not sure what you guys are talking about, on jan 30 I converted almost 1000 doge to btc, converted all other coins to btc as well and requested the btc withdraw, haven't gotten it yet, but status says pending, so I'm quite sure I'll get it.

Lol, that's dangerous advice, might cause a heart attack if you aren't prepared for what you're gonna see.

..... and here's the latest "joke" from CMG:

CGT value is set by official market prices from exchanges that offer the coin, just like any other crypto as well, currently (while I'm typing this) it's 1 CGT = 3130 sat.
In the market you cannot offer exchanges for more than 20% below or above value, meaning the lowest price you can currently offer an exchange for is 1 CGT for 2505 sat.

Unlike with other trades between different currencies @jamboom "forgot" to show the +/-% aside of the offer, to the effect that now offers for lowest possible value that should show a straight green -20%, are rated scam by other users, obviously because they never bothered checking the value of CGT but just click scam as soon as CGT appears anywhere.

I kinda expected that, but I always wondered what the point is.
The faucets remain open until the end of the month and after that users have another month to request their withdrawal.
Withdrawing now means you cannot get to the minimum withdraw before they close, so you basically forfeit the remaining time.
I haven't withdrawn anything yet, I keep using the faucets and will make a final withdraw after feb 1st.

Just like jamboom is setting priority on creating ever more cards and loads of new graphics for the game and after that doesn't have time to fix existings bugs or read/write this forum anymore, I'm setting priority to things like CMG or being a chat moderator at Cointiply and then don't have the time to finish my backgammon project.
In fact in between all the things I'm doing I've written and published a book about economics which took me well over half a year of research, pushing aside everything else where in the end after the text and spelling correction was done I rushed it into the print and forgot to add page numbers in the book.
Advertising the book to push sales I never found the time for, so it remains with just a few 100 copies sold, even though it has 100% 5 star reviews on Amazon.

That's the point I ment to make, overwhelmed with ideas, feeling an urge to do all of it and ending up not finishing anything.

Not sure what that's called in english, but it's a well known fact in psychology that I myself experience as well.
Smart people often have more ideas than they can manage, they often start projects and then never find the time to complete them because they already have 2 or 3 new ideas and feel the urge to get those started as well.
Usually, if the ideas are profitable enough, these people need to hire other people to do the fine tuning and finishing of the projects they started, like in case of CMG user support, maintaining of accounts in social media and so on.
But CMG as a project isn't profitable enough to pay staff from it, therefore jamboom remains a one man show, completely drowned in way more things on the todo list than he will ever be able to handle.
Last thing I've seen is him now after his channel on Patreon, this forum, Twitter and Discord also being present on Instagram.

Now put that into the overall picture, a website with 1000s of users still in development, user support on the site itself, several dozen bugs to fix AND half a dozen social media pages to maintain and then imagine this is a one man show, then you know what his problem is.

I myself am running a gameserver for Backgammon, 100% my work, my code, my graphics, etc., entirely free, not only free to play for the users but even advertising free, therefore I'm a one man show there as well because I'm not making money with it, therefore cannot pay staff, it's been online for almost 20 years, still in beta, because I just don't have the time to finish it while I already have 100 other ideas for other things I want to get started.

If your wallet say unconfirmed that means
- as far as Coinpot is concerned they have sent it and their part is completed.
- your wallet doesn't show it as confirmed yet, because it waits until the blockchain has a given amount of confirmations, where it currently does have at least one, therefore showing receiving, but not enough, but it will certainly complete sooner or later, because for the sender there's nothing they could do to undo or reverse this anymore, so it's just a matter of time.

Literally ALL fraud detection systems are counter productive, NONE has EVER worked, ALL drive away regular users but keep the cheaters.

It begins with the captchas, where the captcha providers increase difficulty relative to the amount of traffic they get.
For a bot there is no increased difficulty, only for regular users there is, meaning increased difficulty makes it harder for regular users to solve a captcha but bots remain uneffected.
And then they actually celebrate an assumed fraud reduction proven by reduced traffic, ignoring the fact that the reduced part is almost exclusively regular users.

A good example is the attempts of HideoutTV who want to make sure users actually watch the ads before they get paid.
They tried ANYTHING they could imagine but it just doesn't work, because users let Hideout run in the background and get paid without watching.
Recently they check whether or not the browser window it runs in is highlighted, if not they don't pay and the effect is that regular users who run this in a secondary window aside of some other stuff they do don't get paid anymore, while bots running in a VM within which the browser is the only open window still get paid while nobody is watching.

At Coinpot as well as most other faucets there has always been the option to remove all ads from the site and still make claims, the sites don't even attempt to detect or ban those.

Best example might be Microsoft with their product activation.
Literall ALL Microsoft products exist in a hacked version where product activation has simply been removed from the product, meaning all the regular users who paid for the product get bothered big time by that stupid activation procedure while the illegal copies enjoy the freedom of using it without any problems.

There's nothing to resolve, it just takes more time.
If you open the withdraw page and scroll down, you will see the list of the latest completed transfers including date of request and date of transfer.
There are differences between the different currencies, but if you see a date for the same currency you're waiting for you can estimate from there how long it will be until it is your turn.

I believe it doesn't depend on how long you've been member, but more on whether or not he feels like answering.
My Twitter message to him about missing 777 sat has remained unanswered since jan 1.

@baby3d

He's right about one thing he didn't even mention.
At the low claim rate of 2 sat a claim, there is no difference between a "normal" claim and setting to "always claim the average".
Therefore you can uncheck that setting and then ...... with a bit of luck ...... you can get a higher claim.

Of course it is, Tokens are a stable coin pegged to US$ therefore if BTC goes up conversion rate goes down.
If you really got 55 sat per 100 token yesterday that was a bug in the system to your advantage.

That's not ridiculous, that's math.
100 Token = $0.01
1 BTC = $33,000 or even above
Therefore $0.01 = 0.00000029 BTC

Not really.
I sent him a note on Twitter about a trade in the market where I exchanged 38 doge for 777 sat, where the doge were taken from my balance but I never got the 777 sat ...... no answer there either.

If you're in it for the money, I got 2 tips.

1) Do NOT trust ANYONE in the crypto world, it's the wild west of money and if someone can cheat you out of your money, 99 out of 100 will do just that.
The VAST majority of all so called crypto investment sites are plain scam who make big promises but don't pay.
Always keep in mind: If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

2) Whatever you can do different from grinding faucets, including walking through the streets searching for pennies on the ground or picking returnable bottles from dust bins in the park will make more money than all the (legit) faucets combined ever will, meaning you may look for all the excuses in the world of why you might want to claim from faucets, other than learning how the crypto world works and having fun while you don't need more money than you already have, it's just invalid excuses.

Having said that, the latest and probably best way of accumulating cryptos without buying them aren't faucets but so called offer walls.
They have all kind of stuff, like install an app on your phone and get paid for that, take surveys and get paid for that, watch ads for money, etc.
These ALL pay FAR more than faucets do, but still what they pay in relation to the time it takes is basically not worth mentioning.
I'm doing this 16 hours a day and I'm getting on good days a max. of maybe $10 or the equivalent in cryptos out of it on bad days not even $1, if I didn't have this overload of spare time on my hands I'd not even consider doing this.
(If you want the list of the ones I'm using, check my profile.)
