So the site itself is in English, but our portal through which we show surveys sets its own language based on your location. I spent some time looking into this, and unfortunately we don't have control over the language of the surveys since it's based on code through our survey portal.

We're up to 230 users so far! Be sure to share your referral link with others for BTCsurveys.com to get 10% of the lifetime earnings of the people you refer. I'd love to see some YouTube videos made about BTCsurveys that promote referral links.

Just pushed some changes to the landing page — if the website's design looks ugly, please clear your cache. I'm blown away with the reception/growth over the past 24 hours! I went to sleep last night when the site had 75 users, and we're at 152 right now. I've paid out a few withdrawals today, and I'm watching you all rise up in the leaderboards. Someone completes a survey every 3 minutes now, it's very fun to refresh the page and see new survey completions almost every time.

At this stage, I want to work on scaling the site up and perfecting it. Please share your feedback, letting me know what you don't like so I can work to fix it (especially feedback on the site's design). Keep it up everyone!

BTCsurvey's 10% Referral Program is now Live!
Refer others to BTCsurveys.com through your referral link to get paid 10% of their survey earnings. You can find your referral link at https://www.btcsurveys.com/referrals/. When someone else signs up through your link, they are a referral for life.

Maximizing your referral earnings is a two-part game. To earn as much as possible, you have to

• Get others to sign up
• Encourage them to keep taking surveys

10% should add up pretty quick if you can get a few people taking surveys every day. I'm hoping that a few of you are able to make a few dollars passively every day from this referral program. Let's grow BTCsurveys.com!

Most surveys are country-specific or exclude countries, so the results vary. Unfortunately, the current survey landscape is that more surveys and higher-paying surveys are available to North America and European countries. Within the past couple of years, survey demand for users in both the Middle East and in North Africa has spiked, so users in those areas are seeing more surveys and higher payout rates.

I'm in the United States, and right now, I have 30 surveys available. They all take between 4 and 20 minutes, and they all pay out between 4,060 and 51,520 satoshis. It totally varies how much are added every hour, but my offer wall of surveys will probably be 80% different in another hour.

I know it's a frustrating answer to hear "it varies," but that's just the situation when we look across 53 different countries. Even beyond that, a software engineer in India might have more, higher paying surveys than a high school student here in the United States.

Our Long-Term Mission: We want to build a site where anyone in the world can earn a meaningful amount of money. There's work to do, but by the end of 2020, I envision Americans steadily earning $10 per hour and the lowest earners still making $1+ per hour. To supplement survey earnings, users can also now promote the site through their referral link, which is now working and will be introduced in the next post!

I've studied Swagbucks a lot and am trying to build BTCsurveys in a way that fixes what Swagbucks misses. BTCsurveys.com is open to 53 countries while Swagbucks is open to only 11. In BTCsurveys.com, you'll get paid in BTC with no cash-out minimum (just cover the transaction fee). Swagbucks pays in their own credits that you can then use to buy things from their shop. We also only require an email address, a username, and a password. No other verification needed.

Referrals should be working in 48 hours. We're running into a few unexpected bugs but are working to fix them. Again, you can see the referral tab, but please hold off on referring people yet! You won't yet get paid for any surveys they take in the next 48 hours. I appreciate your patience! We got our first withdrawal processed for one of you a few days ago, happy to see you guys taking surveys, earning Bitcoin, and cashing it out to your wallets!

Yeah! Please private message me or email me at tyler@belacam.com with the username of your referral. I'll tally up what they've made and manually credit 10% of their earnings to your account. Referrals SHOULD be up and working officially tonight, potentially tomorrow.


You definitely should share real information and your real opinions if you don't want to risk a ban. The information requested rarely will identify you. Over the past few months, I have seen a couple individual surveys ask for my personal email address or the name of the company I work for. If they do that, they will say why they need that information (for verification, etc.). You can report surveys for seeking extra personal information. One survey that paid $1 for only 2 minutes requested a selfie photo — they made it very clear that it was for a research, academic study, but I decided not to do it.

I guess my point: you should not lie about any demographic questions (race, country, age), but if a survey asks you something extra personal (which is very rare), you can leave and report the survey.

Referrals should be coming tomorrow! You'll be able to earn 10% of the survey earnings of the people you refer. The tab is up right now, but we're working on fixing just a couple more bugs before it's totally ready to go (so don't refer anyone just yet with your referral link — please wait for an announcement here).

Also set up some social media for BTCsurveys.
Twitter: https://twitter.com/BTCsurveys
Telegram: https://t.me/BTCsurveys

That's some dedication! If you want, if you share your country (either here or in a private message), I can reach out to our survey provider to check if they have plans to expand surveys in your area in the coming month, or if the wait might be longer before surveys ramp up in your area.

Surveys seem to be more specific for more developing nations, meaning you'll be weeded out with a higher frequency than an American user would. I wish it wasn't that way, but it is :/. I'm probably weeded out of 20% of surveys after starting them, but I've seen users from locations like India weeded out of 80% of the surveys they try. They still get the partial reward each time, so at least that's something, but I wish we could deliver more. Also just as the months pass, surveys will be more plentiful.

I'm sorry to hear it didn't work, but I really appreciate the feedback you've given us so far. I'll make sure we dive deeper into the zip code issue on the development side. The 150 satoshis is given if you are screened out very early on — I've had "screen out" rewards as high as $1 before, it just depends on the total survey reward and the time you spent on the survey before being screened out.

Our end goal (and it might take a year or two to get there) is building out BTCsurveys to anyone can earn an hourly rate that is competitive to their own home country (i.e. American users consistently earn $10+, users in developing countries earn at least $2 - $5 per hour, etc.). Plenty of work required to get there clearly, but that's the end goal.

Zip codes are used to better locate a survey taker within his country. In this specific case, the user previously reported his country, but our system isn't taking his zip code. We use zip codes to better opt in to extra surveys. For example, a survey provider might first segment off all US survey takers and then look for one with a 200XX zip code to find users in Washington DC. I've had a survey from a local radio station, and that was delivered based off my zip code.

Since 12345 is a New York zip code but the user already reported being from another country, he wouldn't be shown New York targeted surveys. In this specific case, the zip code would be filler information and shouldn't affect any surveys shown to him. Further, the original zip code question in the onboarding survey is only used to show potential surveys to this user. If a specific survey cares about the zip code, they'll ask it again as we do not transmit zip code information from our site to the survey provider. Hopefully, their form should accept this user's real zip code in his country.

I'm sorry about that, you're the first user to run in to such a problem (and report it to us at least!). Here are some things to try:

• If your zip code has two parts, try entering only the first part or only the second part.
• If your zip code has letters, try omitting the letters and entering the numbers only.
• If that still doesn't work, just try "12345." Hopefully our system can still show surveys without a zip code that matches your country. In this case, 12345 would just be a filler zip code.

Unfortunately, we don't yet have the Reset Password feature up. It's one of the ones next on the list! Passwords are salted and hashed, so I can't see your password, but if you private message me, I can change it to a new one and tell you the new one. Just until we can get the reset password feature built.

Yeah, there's plenty of development left to do, including some towards protecting against VPNs. Users with VPNs generally make it through the early checks but are often weeded out part-way through a survey. We do give small rewards for partial completions (it's not fair if you spent 5 minutes taking a survey, only to get weeded out at the end and left with nothing), so I suppose VPN users are able to get those partial rewards. It is time consuming to chase after only partial rewards with a VPN, so we haven't seen VPN users stick around for long.

Awesome! Surveys can be about almost anything, but here are some common themes:

• Packaging: a sports drink company wants to see which label people like the most
• New products: A chain restaurant wants to make sure their new menu items are marketed and priced properly
• Politics: political polling conducted in your local area
• Business: surveys about your work habits at your company (which software you use, etc.)

Here's a list of the 53 available countries. If you aren't from one of these countries, you'll see a message on our site that says "Surveys are not available in your location," and since you have the 'no surveys available today" error, you will get more surveys if you check back! We also run Belacam.com, so that's why support for BTCsurveys.com links to Belacam's support. As BTCsurveys grows, we'll of course spin up a dedicated support site for it, separate from Belacam.

Nice work! If surveys are available in your country (53 eligible countries), there should be new surveys every hour. If you don't hit the "Someone Ate all the Surveys" message, you can refresh the page every 30 minutes or hour to see a bunch of new surveys.

Glad everyone has enjoyed it so far! It depends on your style, but my favorite way to take surveys is by working in only 15 minute bursts on only the most profitable surveys. After that, I'll check back in an hour and take the top three most profitable ones available then. Rinse and repeat!

Ah that's interesting, accounts are easiest so users can keep coming back and we can track how much users have earned. There are definitely ways around that (like logging IPs), but those solutions of course have some major limitations as well.

The best thing would be to register with a throwaway email address. We don't yet send email confirmations on withdrawals (we will eventually, just not yet), so you won't need to provide us with your personal email.

Hi all,

A few of us have been working on a survey site that pays users in Bitcoin (https://btcsurveys.com). You take a 2 - 15 minute survey and earn anywhere from $.02 in BTC to $3 in BTC per survey completion. We've been testing it with a small group and are ready to begin sharing it with others, still seeking feedback.

How it Works
We match you with brands who want to hear from people like you (i.e. Tesla wants to know what Europeans think of Cybertruck, and they'll pay you $1 to hear your thoughts). When you complete a survey, we get paid in USD, and we credit your account with a near equal amount of Bitcoin, minus our small profit margin.

Upcoming Features

• A referral program that gives you a share of your friends' earnings
• More work on registration/login (reset password, a welcome email, etc.)
• Better design for mobile devices and small laptops

How do we make money?
We take a small cut on top of the survey payout owed to you. For example, if a survey pays us $1, you might receive $.95. This profit margin fluctuates as Bitcoin's price fluctuates too.

Other quick notes

• Our surveys are available to users in 53 different countries
• The flat-rate .00002900 BTC withdrawal fee is to cover the transaction fee
• There are no minimum withdrawals as long as you can cover the withdrawal fee
• In America, earnings can be as high as $8 - $10 per hour of survey taking. Earnings vary by country though.

We hope you like https://BTCsurveys.com! We hope it helps people earn some side income or stack up some more Bitcoin in a fun way.
