Somebody only went and PATENTED one! http://www.google.com/patents/US20120223627 (not good pictures, only line drawings. Some of the "dry" official-ese down half a page from BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION made me grin).

Gawd Bless Dear ol' America! :stand: :raise flag: :salute: Only in the US of A would the guv'mint let you patent a computer-bog-desk   They could have had a really good laugh and filed on "all fools day": April 1st  

Sorry Squire quentincole32, I still can't find the exact one I saw years ago, but these will give you the general idea: https://www.google.com/search?q=computer%2Btoilet%2Bdesk%2Bimages



note: we Brits don't really say "water closet" - the street word is "bog", more polite word is "loo".

I missed that first time I saw it you cheeky feller (I was asleep at the time )

No my friend, everyone is already accustomed to the exaggerations  

I'm guessing you are not from the USA. Now THERE is a country where I have seen HUGE, MASSIVE EXAGGERRATIONS, THE BIGGEST EXAGGERATIONS IN THE WHOLE WORLD !!!!!

You are now cool about Bitcoinaliens... I hope?
M.

edit: typo

Yup. In my experience, since Bitcoin Aliens family faucets launched. They are the best paying, most reliable, most honest of all faucets out there.

@bitcoinaliens: So the problems seem to be:-

1) That People assume the old rates are still correct.
2) They misunderstand what is meant by e.g 4,482 an hour.
3) They assume that everything on the Internet is a scam, especially when they have been "bitten" before by somebody else, when their computer is faulty, they had a row with their partner, their own dog bit them, their ISP is crap, they don't have sufficient language skills, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera...
4) They want your money, as much of it as they can get away with, without doing anything in return.

In reverse order:-
4) I call them thieves, cheats, lazy, stupid, bloodsuckers .... and some other things I'm not sure I can write here.
Takeaway: Put in the best security measures you can afford, as soon as you can afford them, or they will bleed you dry.

3) 99% of everything offered on the Internet IS a scam. It is a very hard sell to persuade them that your company is different. I don't believe there is anything you can do to stop them hollering at you. I don't believe it is your job to help them with those other problems  Sometimes I think they just like complaining for it's own sake.
If they have not already been answered correctly by one of your regular supporters here, then Answer them briefly and politely and move on. Never, Ever, take it personally.
I may not always say exactly what, or everything, you would like to, but I do my best to help people here, even though I'm not paid for it. I don't get any special privileges, nor do I expect them. I believe in Bitcoin Aliens faucets and I'll do anything in my power to see your business survive for as long as possible. If I was as good at taking my own advice as I am at dishing it out, I would be building a downline. But that is only useful for as long as your business survives.
Takeaways: Don't waste time on detractors. Use "crowd support". Consider rewarding a few satoshis for exceptional help. Stay calm.

2) To me "it is 4,282 an hour" means I *could* technically, earn exactly that amount if I clicked for one hour of Earth time. It is a "Headline". It does not (to me) mean that I can repeat that n times and get n * 4,282. To some it might. It does not take account of all the things that might prevent me getting that amount. I am NOT a lawyer, but based on nearly 55 years exposure to advertising, you might want to use "up to" and as you did above "max". I don't see how anybody can challenge a reasonable, realistic claim preceded by "up to" and referring to a maximum.  "Up to 4,282 satoshis per hour^*" or "Earn up to 4,282 satoshis per hour^*".  Just don't go saying "earn up to a billion satoshi per minute (max)" That is neither reasonable nor realistic

Some will say it's a cop-out, but I don't believe that they can argue a legal case against you. You might want to check with an attorney / lawyer that what I'm saying here is valid in your jurisdiction. Advertising law is a minefield, that much I do know, and when you extend that internationally...  It would only take 50-100 people to get together and file suit against you and you could be out of business within days.

1) Old ads: Leaflets and Price lists I have seen, often put a superscript asterisk^* next to the number or price or at the end of the line, and say in small print at the bottom or on the back... example:-

blah blah
Best rates on the Internet up to 4200 satoshis per hour!^*
blah blah and more blah...

^*E&OE. Maximum rate for each hour. Correct at time of publication.

You could put something like this in your forum signature:
(E&OE is "an abbreviation for Errors and Omissions Excepted: used to say that a price list, product description, or other document may contain mistakes or may not include some details". Source: Cambridge Business Dictionary )
Takaway: Use common methods to reduce legal exposure, and make clear what you are "selling".

Bitcoinaliens, Posting at this forum makes you zero direct profit. If you think, plan, execute you can cut your time here to minutes per week, and still get the indirect profit that comes from being a responsive, "visible" program(s) owner.

I hope that helps. If you'd prefer me to back off and leave you to it, just say so. Above all, if you ain't enjoying it, do something else.

Live long, be happy, and prosper

I have been in email contact with one of the tech guys at http://irishcoin.org - I seem to have confused him But at least they do reply

It did occur to me that one of the lasses (ladies) in the pic above might be his girlfriend. I assumed they were PR girls hired for the day. I certainly meant no offence with my remarks. If I did, I most humbly apologise.

Mart.

@PaddyMac - are you part of the Irishcoin.org ?

Hahaha I was trying last night to find a picture I saw years ago of a computer desk for you. It included a toilet (bathroom in USA), and other things you would need for a 24 hour clicking session... Sadly the ones I found were not as good as the one I saw before. I would have posted it here

Hey @Daniel D'alien - do you Midorians have that technology in your spaceship or don't you need to eat, sleep, shit?

Hello ephuigens (I don't work for the company)

My best guess is that you accidentally or deliberately have two or more accounts. It is highly unlikely that Daniel ever typed in your address. Internet membership systems are automated and they ONLY use the address(es) that YOU typed in.

Garbage In Garbage Out (GIGO) is a very old computer term for it. Type in rubbish, the computer will give you rubbish results.

There is a tiny (0.0000000000000000000000001%) possibility that the system added an S in your email address. But, if that happened you would not be getting the newsletters. The system would send them to the wrong address and bounce back to bitcoinaliens where hopefully their system automatically removes that bad email.

Also remember that Daniel runs a separate mailing list for each of his programs. The newsletter you ARE receiving is for the program and account you should attempt to log in at, and use.

All of the newsletters include an Unsubscribe button. You are free to leave at any time.

18000 satoshis is worth just under four US cents, if you are desperate for that, post a reply here saying "I need a handout" with your bitcoin address and I will send you your ~four cents! It is worth that to me to have one less person bleating and pestering and throwing wild allegations at Daniel and his GREAT programs. (Not saying you did all of those).

That leaves him free to work on improving things for the rest of us. I hope you get it.

Hi quentincole32

(I don't work for the company) Lying is a pretty strong accusation to make, especially when you just showed a proof of how it "could" be done.

exaggerated advertising claim maybe? But if you hang around long enough or watch TV, or see billboards, you will soon learn that ALL advertising is "exaggerated".

I hope that helps.

Mart.

Guys, guys, downforeveryoneorjustme.com ITSELF ALSO had some problems on Sunday (UTC). They fixed it within about 30 minutes of me writing to them BUT you might have a "cached" copy still in your browser program. Google the name of your browser, operating system, and clear cache to get instructions on how to do that e.g. https://google.com/?q=Firefox+Linux+clear+cache or https://google.com/?q=chrome+WinXP+clear+cache

Caution: google is your friend, and like all close friends they might spy on you (based on an old Polish/Russian joke/proverb)

My eyes are nearly 60 years old but they still saw that somebody made a typing error

Try: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/bITcoinaliens.com - IF you get a [ Try Again ] button, click  it.

Do you see it now? somebody swapped the i and the t in bitcoin   It is called a transposition error, and don't feel bad, it's very easy to do it ;-)

I hope that helps and Well Done downforeveryoneorjustme.com AND Daniel at bitcoinaliens.com for getting things fixed on a weekend.

Hey CoinPr0n

http://www.coinpr0n.com/ - not at all what I was expecting LOL

Harizen gets Weirder & Weirder... https://blockchain.info/tx/7a2233218861c5f4f5fe3d7627b8fc671b56ee8821a7e0f699482b8bd3488e82

Personally I trust Daniel until I see a good reason not to. I have seen no reason, so I trust Daniel to make good where needed.

じゃあまたね

Jā matane

(See ya later)

Great to see an intelligent discussion between two adults here

Well done both of you - I'm going off to spend ~US$45

My expected ROI time to pay for Smarterhash with the increase in earnings using my 14Mh/s / 28Mh/s (~10% rejects ) is three to four months.

@lifeforcepools  if my expectation fails to materialize I'll be knocking on your door (or I might just slash your car tires... then throw a house brick at your door ) (and please check your inbox here).

Daniel I think you are doing an AMAZING job, so please take this as a friendly, constructive suggestion...

You've made a HUGE splash by giving away tons of bitcoin, do you really want to write that off as a "failed experiment"?

I have no idea how many people you have on your team. Maybe you are trying to do all this on your own?

Either way, my belief based on many years on the periphery of Internet Marketing is that you MUST look after your "Social Media" channels and not simply regard them as free advertising. Some people don't even understand that this is not "Instant Messaging" and might expect an answer within minutes. Those people need educating, by you.

More realistically I think it is reasonable to expect an answer within a day or two. Definitely no more than a week.
Nobody expects to be totally ignored, and they should Never, ever, BE ignored.

A friend of mine told me that for every one person who tells you they have a problem, there are 99 others watching to see how (or if!) you answer, and how long it takes you.  Try to think of it as free market research.  That is gold on this planet.

OK, I think, hope! I've explained enough, my suggestion is that if you want to survive medium to long-term (and I believe you do, otherwise I would not have taken my time to write this) is: DANIEL, GET SOME HELP, NOW.

I had to open a new account when that happened to me but not really a problem for me as I had no referrals.

It really is a draconian rule

I could be wrong but I *thought* bitcoinaliens said that he was going to change that inactivity rule. Too buzy maybe?

Sorry I can't be more help, he has replied to somebody since your post, but not to you. I have no idea why that has happened.

His friend from the planet Midori (Daniel D'alien) did said say something about Midori forums being better better than those here on Earth, so maybe he is not really sure how to use them?

Now I do like the Beamish and Dublin/Eire is definitely on my "bucket list" but I couldn't drink a whole distillery !!

How much does a pint cost? or have you gone all metric on us? I have 13 IRL so far but I did just set up a faster miner

Huh?? 

+1 vote for the purple aliens not disappearing behind the bottom banner - unless that is intentional to help pay for the rewards ;-) Oh wait, there IS NO bottom banner right now for me??

New suggestion/request: My eyes are only a little less than 60 years old  I do have a problem reading the line of text immediately below the "Alien Faucet" logo (at the top).

Would it be possible to increase the font size to be the same as the one used for "Searching for Aliens" and "Mission Accomplished" ?

If that is not possible, perhaps the Claim button could be shown on the "?? Satoshi awarded" popup? (Only when the balance is equal or greater than cashout (currently 1000).


Thanks in advance!

Will you look at the golden tresses on that lass* on the right?      (The blonde on the left ain't half bad either  )

I'm sold I missed the St Paddy's day giveaway but I see they also sell Beamish in your IRL accepting pub, so I'll be over after I've downloaded and compiled a linux wallet, and mined enough at 4KH/s !! to buy a pint or two of the "black and tan" nectar

Of course by then I expect you to have persuaded Aer Lingus to accept IRL too! In that case I may need to buy a proper mining rig :-)
