This game was very fun. The returns were nice, too nice I thought. I was right Sad I tried to check my statistics today but the cord was pulled on the site. OP, if you're still around, what happened? Were the payouts too much to handle?

Well, ok, of course you have your own point of view and it isn't the point of your users.
Furthermore I cannot speak for others, I can just speak for myself and I can predict for you, what I'll be doing in the near future.
I guess it won't be much different for other users, but obviously I cannot be sure about that.
Even though I am a faucet owner, I claim from other faucets too. Why? Just to see where my referral statistics are. Since I'm already on the site, I may as well. I dislike faucets with a lot of ads, that's just me. So, I will try to keep my faucet the way I would like to see it if I was a customer. People who don't mind a lot of ads will come anyway.

First of all claiming from faucets without having a large amount of referrals in your back is entirely pointless, because alone the electricity running a computer exceeds the value of the claim, therefore, once I've built a halfway good base of referrals, I'll be claiming precisely once a day, just to collect the referrals and transfer everything to my wallet.
That's why for me accumulating sites pay way more than you do, even though for someone spending all day at the computer, visiting your faucet on top of every hour, spending the time clicking through your bonuses, will pay more, it just isn't worth my time.
(There are sites paying 5 Satoshis once per minute, meaning you could get to 300 Satoshis per hour, meaning WAY more than any other site pays, but those I completely ignore, simply because 10 or 20 seconds per minute of my time is WAY to much for 5000 or so Satoshis a day.)
Furthermore these accumulating sites pay loyalty bonus, referral bonus not only in % of their claims, but also 1% per referral on my own claims, plus a "mystery bonus", meaning from an accumulating faucet, IFFFF I get to 100 referrals and 100 days loyalty, I can claim 80 - 120 Satoshi in 10 seconds, once a day PLUS my referral commissions and that then summons up to a value worth claiming.
Your first point is true. I will speak from my perspective: I do not turn on my computer or laptop to claim from faucets and then turn it off. I am on my laptop more than my desktop. If I am surfing the web on my laptop, I may as well go spend a few seconds and claim from some faucets, because it's already on, and why not?

The sites that pay 5 satoshi a minute are annoying. They have a required link shortener, lots of pop-ups, and sketchy ads. But, since users can make unlimited earnings, perhaps they don't care about that? It would be hard for me to claim once a minute for every hour, my attention span would not last that long.

The loyalty/referral bonuses are where it's AT for faucets. I would love to add them on Coins4Days, but I cannot afford that yet. This is something that will be implemented way down the road. The more we make, the more we can share with the users. Smiley

I do realize that my way of doing this is an extreme form of Ponzi scheme, because if everyone was doing like I do, you'd have to increase the amount of active customers 10fold every month and you'd exceed the worlds population by the end of the year, but then, this is my point of view, the view of a customer.
I'm sure there are many people that try this, but it's hard to find referrals for faucets in my opinion. People already use most of the good ones, so it's hard to find referrals because all of your claimers are already on other faucets. The trick is to find a new faucet that you think will do well. If you get in early, you will prosper more. I can understand how you look at it as a pomzi scheme, but since you're not paying anything, it's not. Nothing wrong with building some referral downlines Grin

In the end I don't really know what I should recommend for you, I guess I shouldn't even try.
I give you my customers point of view, what you make out of that is up to you and whether or not I will keep using your site is then my decision.
For the moment I'm fine with your site and I give you a great deal of gratitude for being the ONLY faucet site where I have a personal contact, which (to me) is worth way more than a higher payout.
You should definitely try to recommend things and give me suggestions man. I love feedback, especially when the feedback is well-thought and creates good conversation! We use a script for our faucet, FaucetCMS. I forwarded all of your replies to him and he plans to implement some of your ideas in the future. I look forward to when that happens! I appreciate the suggestions, remember that. Thank you for the gratitude, too. I'm glad you found Coins4Days and this thread!

244  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin Trading Gambling? on: January 15, 2018, 01:31:06 AM

There is a big difference between investing in bitcoin and day/swing trading bitcoin. If you invest some money and forget about it, that's one thing. If you constantly try to ride the wave of bitcoin's price and try to multiply your money a few times a day or week, that involves so much more risk, one bad call can ruin it all. The latter is gambling.

Your explanation is make sense. Daily traders, people who buy and sell bitcoin in daily basis can be considered as gambler. Tbh, in our daily life, there are a bunch of things that can be called as gambling as well. But, as long as it is legal, we shouldn't worry too much.

I'm sure there are many day traders who try their best to analyze bitcoin's price path, and they may luck out often, but the bottom line is it will be impossible to predict bitcoin's price 100% of the time. If someone can ride the waves, good for them, but emotions can easily get in the way and ruin everything.

Yes, many things can be considered a gamble. Some people gamble with their freedom when they commit illegal acts to make money (robbery, selling drugs, etc). That's a totally different topic though Tongue
245  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: [ANN] uClick | Digital Banner Network on: January 15, 2018, 01:14:11 AM
We are working on "referral section" I've hope that we will finish it soon. But yes, you will be able to track referrals click, impressions and commission earnings.

Honestly there is no point to lie. We have 2 advertisers at the moment, and most of the other traffic we resell for now. So let's say that average per click is from 0.03$ to 0.06 not more not less for now. We are working on improvements and we will start much bigger promotion soon.

Regards

Awesome! I look forward to when it is done. I will be sending my link around to a few friends when that is the case. Smiley

Thank you for being honest. $0.03 - $0.06 per click isn't bad. I hope your improvements lead to more earnings for publishers and bring in more advertisers! I have added a 160x600 banner from your network on Coins4Days. Let's see how things go.
246  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Bitcoin Faucet + Coin Flip Game, Offerwalls, Mining, Unlimited Earnings! on: January 15, 2018, 01:09:44 AM
Yes, withdraw works, thanks for that.

2.) There are literally WAY more faucets than one can claim from, therefore I sort out those that pay best and if claiming 10 Satoshi extra takes 15 seconds, that's not worth it because in the same time I can claim 20 Sathoshi from 2 other sites.
This is true, many faucets have terrible payouts. I think Coins4Days is not that bad at all. I will compare us to moonbit.co.in. They are ranked top 4,000 in Alexa, while we are ranked top 500,000. You are a fan of the accumulating faucets, I understand this. Take a look at their claim rates though.
  • 2 satoshi every 5 minutes
  • 4 satoshi every 10 minutes
  • 4 satoshi every 15 minutes
  • 8 satoshi every 30 minutes
  • 12 satoshi an hour
  • 23 satoshi every four hours
  • 42 satoshi every day
  • 58 satoshi every four days
  • 67 satoshi every week
  • 90 satoshi every four weeks
They have ALL of those ads, but we still pay more every hour than they do. We pay more than triple on average. We have weighted claims, a few claimers get up to 70 satoshi in one claim if they click both links and get a lucky claim. The satoshi accumulates so slow on their site.

4) Proof of Work uses CPU power, roughly 50 Watts for roughly 5 seconds the check takes, too expensive for the amount one can claim there.
I've abandoned all sites using it and apparently I was not the only one, most of those sites have noticed and switched back to other captchas.
Also it does NOT solve the problem of neighbors sharing the same IP.

How does this not solve the problem of the same neighbors sharing the same IP? If the captcha is what's blacklisting the user and preventing them from claiming, if a captcha other than SolveMedia was used, the problem would go away. Each verification from PoW is like a special token. It can be solved from the same IP as long as it is solved in the first place. I am not 100% sure if this will be implemented though. It might be tested in the future to see how it affects claim rates. If our users stop claiming, we will take it off. Simple.

On a general idea, of the by far best faucet site I know of, have a look at bonusbitcoin.
With setting "pay always the average", it pays 26 Satoshi every 15 minutes plus 5% of all your claims from the last 3 days every day at midnight, it pays directly to coinpot and takes less than 5 seconds to claim.
It has one popup every 3 hours or so, captcha switchable between reCaptcha and SolveMedia and pays a solid 50% referral commission.
It's a faucet I hardly ever miss, while I'm awake, even if I'm very busy with work (freelance programmer, sitting at the computer anyway) this one I claim no matter what, making almost 2000 Satoshi a day from there.

Sure that's still only some pocket change, but compared to the time it takes claiming, this one is the best and if I find a few more referrals it may actually ad up to a sum worth mentioning.
I have used bonusbitcoin in the past. Upon logging into their site again, it loads very slow for me. They have ads with sound (I am okay with this kind of), two slide in banners/videos, two pop-ups/unders, and lots of banner ads. However, their payout is higher than pretty much every other faucet that is around. The average payout option is very nice. That's 100 satoshi an hour, every hour if you time it right. It takes a bit longer than 5 seconds because of the pop-unders, but it's not too big of a deal. 2,000 satoshi a day from one faucet is fantastic to be honest. We cannot match their claim rates. Not yet Wink

On a VERY general idea, you should forget the idea of a pleasant experience for your users, because nobody cares about that.
Aside of robots, which I will ignore for this point, there are only 2 types of users:

1) People like me, experienced with computers and the web, only caring about how fast one can get to the payout and how much it pays.
I really don't care at all how many popups you throw at me, I have a Logitech G13 programmable keyboard aside, where I have a hotkey for Alt-F4, shorting even that one to a single key.
I don't care how many ads you have on the site, I don't even see them, because I stay focussed on finding the "Claim" button in between the ads.
The main reason why I want a pleasant experience for my users is that is what keeps people coming back - user retention if you will. Our Google Analytics says for the month of January, only 20% of our users are new. The other 80% are all returning. This allows for slow, steady growth.

A lot of faucet owners skip dollars to pick up pennies. I have friends who own websites with 4+% CTR. This yields $1.00-$2.00+ eCPM's depending on the network. If your ad placements are optimized and your traffic isn't garbage, PPC will pay out a lot more than traditional CPM. I will have to disagree with you on this point.

2) Beginners, trying to get into cryptos, claiming a few times, usually until they reach the minimum for the first transfer to their wallet, which at Faucethub is 20,000 Satoshis.
Once they get confirmed there, that their wallet is working, they will abandon faucets, because they will figure, it took them 2 dozen faucet sites and about 2 weeks of monotonous captcha solving work to make $3, which is less than the minimum wage in Bangladesh.
They never get the idea of building their own referral site, mostly because they simply don't have their own website.
These will care for easy usable faucet sites, but compared to what you get from frequent users, they are near meaningless.
I don't know whether or not you keep statistics about your users, but I bet you anything you like, 90+% of all your users will become inactive within a month.

Even if 90% of our users become inactive within the first month (Google Analytics says otherwise), the number of new users will offset this. We have backlinks across multiple forums and faucet lists. Having a referral program takes care of a lot of the advertising for us, too. When users do leave, they are replaced with new ones. After time, we will have a large base of loyal claimers. This is what will help support the slow and steady growth.

This is NOT the case for accumulating faucets, because there you just don't have to be active, you spend once a day 10 seconds with them and most users will continue to claim from them way longer than from timed faucets.
I can tell, I have only TWO referrals at those moon____ faucets and those two users claim there so often that my 50% commission by far exceeds my own claims from there.

Moonbit.co.in does not have the best rates. I think all of their bonuses are what keep people coming back. If you have 50 active referrals and have been claiming for the past 100 days, that is a 150% bonus, just like that. I think people simply like the idea of not having a timer because it's different.

Do you guys have a referral system? I cannot seem to find it on your site. Please add one if there is not! Smiley


Hi, we have referral system and commission is 5%.
We disable it atm because we still didn't manage to display earnings and all info's about your referrals.

We will put the referral link in the dashboard, but for now, you will not be able to track directly referral earnings. It will be added to main balance automatically.

That's okay. As long as I am credited with the 5%, that shouldn't be a problem. But perhaps the ability to track referral earnings could be implemented in the future? Also, I received an email from you that minimum CPC is $0.05 for publisher earnings. Is this correct?

250  Economy / Gambling / Re: Your Primedice Strategy ..? on: January 14, 2018, 04:25:36 PM
The most obvious tip which 99% gamblers ignore is knowing when to stop. Martingale but set yourself a target and stop at the target. Greed eventually kills. It always kills, just a matter of time. Greedier the gambler, heavier the losses.

I agree. People think they can get more and more, but that's when they lose their profits. All casinos are designed to win in the long run. This means, in some short-term situations, they will payout more than they bring in. That's when you take your profits and run!
251  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: 999dice.com scammed me out of 0.048 BTC. HELP ME FIND THE ADMIN PLEASE on: January 14, 2018, 04:22:31 PM
I have used the site for much larger amount of money and never had any problem.
I think that you shouldn't be worried as 999 dice has proved to be legit, they have been here for years.
The situation described by the op is worth to be worried about, but if you say there were no problems before then perhaps it is just some misunderstanding or the op's account was hacked. However, I see quite a lot of scam accusations on various websites related to this casino. Their overall reputation is not a good one. There are about 10 scam accusations of it on this forum as well. Oh, and jakem is a newbie but has neg trust already.
Op, I suggest you to speak with admins of 999dice carefully and kindly ask them to let you log in and withdraw your money. Be patient and polite, for perhaps these people are still not so bad.

OP cannot find the admin(s) of 999dice. Each trail leads to a dead end. The supposed owner of the site hasn't logged into their bitcointalk account in years. The emails he sent to support do not get a reply. There's only so many more places he can look.
252  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: upbitcoin.com - Real or Scam? on: January 14, 2018, 04:19:39 PM
This seems gone. No more pay outs and no more referrals you referred to the site properly registered under your referral list based off of my experiment.
The admin of the site seems no longer taking care of the site and management on it.

That's sad... This was such a nice faucet. I will never understand why people just abandon their projects, especially if it is one that is as nice as this!
253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin Trading Gambling? on: January 14, 2018, 04:17:58 PM
I think bitcoin trading is not gambling. And investment  is not gambling. Each person wants to fulfil  the needs of their life, that is by trading or investing bitcoin. For me it is not a bad thing and it won't be harmful  to each other


There is a big difference between investing in bitcoin and day/swing trading bitcoin. If you invest some money and forget about it, that's one thing. If you constantly try to ride the wave of bitcoin's price and try to multiply your money a few times a day or week, that involves so much more risk, one bad call can ruin it all.

If you are looking for an authorized mining script, I can provide it. In fact, with lower commission. The project is still in Beta phase, but feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I have sent you the link in PM.

If anybody else interested please contact me.

P.S; No antivirus/antiminer can catch the mining, but it is user friendly as we ask for permission before mining.

It is very interesting if miner is really undetectable by antivirus programs. I have been using Coinhive for some time now, but most of of my visitors don't seem to be mining as eset is blocking them. I would like to try it as well. Could you please send me a link as well?

Are you telling your users they are mining for you or are you hiding it in the background? You might get a higher hashrate if you keep your users in the loop of what's going on. If you are looking for a non-hidden miner, this might interest you. Smiley
255  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Bitcoin Faucet + Coin Flip Game, Offerwalls, Mining, Unlimited Earnings! on: January 14, 2018, 04:05:27 PM
Yes it is and I did try to find that setting somewhere on your site, but there is no such thing.
Remember, above I asked for a button "account".

Try to cashout again now. It should work. If it does not, let me know. An "account" button with a little overview of your profile on Coins4Days along with referral information will be coming in the future.

Since I have nothing better to do, let me give you a few more ideas:

1) A timed claim like you have, with one payout per hour is for robots, real humans need sleep, go out of the house frequently and miss claims.
I like far better the faucets that accumulate Satoshis over time, where accumulation slows down over time, meaning the longer you don't claim the slower it accumulates, meaning more active claimers will get more, but accumulation never stops.
It's like a ritual for me, every morning when getting up, with first coffee I click through the faucets and I ALWAYS go to those accumulating faucets first.

2) You have 2 bonus links on your site, where one can add 10 Satoshis each to a claim.
The first one takes 5 seconds and doesn't have a captcha, thats ok, but the second one has a captcha to solve plus an additional 10 seconds to wait.
If you calculate electricity for 15 seconds computer running that already exceeds 10 Satoshis, meaning this bonus is worth less than nothing for BOTH sides, because you only pay the energy provider of the user, meaning you pay, the user pays as well and the energy provider is the only one making money.
Fortunately for me I do have solar panels on my roof, but I guess that's still not wide spread.

3) I've added your faucet to my list including a link to this topic here.
http://www.piranhazone.com/index.php?page=crypto&topic=faucets
As mentioned above, I'd like to see a link or a button on your site that shows statistics about referrals.
Furthermore there's one feature on other faucet sites I like, which is a referral bonus independent from whether or not the others make claims.
Some sites pay not only 25% (or more) of whateve r my referrals claim, but another 1% bonus on my own claims for each successful referral.

4) As mentioned above, I get my internet connection from Italian Fastweb.
This provider has far less public IPs than customers, meaning at traffic rush hours on the web they route complete blocks of a town, or in smaller towns even the entire town through the same public IP, similar to some kind of gigantic home network.
This means for me two things:
1) If during these times anyone in my neighborhood messes with his connection, the whole block gets blacklisted from captcha sites.
2) If anyone else in my neighborhood would like to sign up on your site, he cannot, because your site thinks it's the same user.
So the question becomes not only how to overcome the blacklistings, but also how could I refer my friends and neighbors?

Once again, thank you very much for all of this feedback. This is how we become better!

1. I am a fan of accumulating faucets too. I claim from moonbit.co.in from time to time just because it accumulates constantly. I used to claim daily because of the bonus. Look at their faucet and compare it to ours though. They are absolutely decked out with advertisements. When I hop onto that site, my computer starts slowing down. They have multiple pop-up/under ads there, and ads with sound. Slider banners come from each side of the screen. This is not the user experience Geony and I want for our users. It's overwhelming. We would rather have way fewer ads for a better on-site experience. This ties into your third point too. Our profit margins are way too slim to add an individual bonus for each referral claim like moonbit.co.in does, for example. This does not rule your idea out forever though! When our income grows, so will yours. Smiley

2. Well, to be honest, you kind of stumped me here. Even if it costs more to claim the bonus compared to not claiming, the computer is still on and running regardless, so you may as well click the links if you have the time. As long as our users keep using the bonuses, we will keep them up there.

3. Thank you for adding us to your website! I always enjoy seeing this. I hope you make some good commissions.

4. This is a good point. We want as many users as possible to join us because we want to grow. Let's say SolveMedia was thrown out the window and replaced with a PoW (proof of work) captcha. What is your opinion on this? Your neighbors/friends would not be blacklisted, this certain captcha would not be targeted because it's not widely used, plus I don't think it's really possible for a bot to get past it since it requires more than just a passcode to get a claim.

Welcome.

Meanwhile I'm approching 4000 Satoshis and I still get error upon withdraw.
If I reach 5000 before the problem is solved, I'll get back to you here via PM.

My partner Geony is supposed to check the support email tomorrow. He is dealing with a lot of things outside of our website at the moment, so I can only provide limited support. Sounds like a plan. Thank you for still using the faucet, you will get a payout. I promise! And about the problem, it will be fixed thanks to you bringing it to the light.

Edit: Is this your FaucetHub address? 19yeQ8u893ZpK3U2KMViHD98RWGzTV3h2y
If so, you forgot to pick your microwallet provider upon signup. I can get this fixed for you if you verify that this is your address.
