I was using my mobile and didn't see any message, just looked in the recent winners and saw my address there so naturally thought it was a winner. 

Sure

Thanks

Let's see if I get the winnings first!

I tried it and i am listed as a recent winner did you say it takes an hour to receive winnings?

It does need to become hassle free and a bit easier to pick up for those just finding out about it.  Once all the horror stories cease in the press showing the negative uses for Bitcoin and start promoting positive uses it will help to bring people in.  Companies such as Coinbase to help to make it an easy process to setup an account, download an app and start using Bitcoin straight away.

Definitely agree with this, they are growing up surrounded by an amazing amount of technology and if we can get them adopting something like Bitcoin at an early age it can only be a positive move.

Cool, a shame about faster payments not being accepted.  If they are accepted in the future this will be a plus as I know that Coinbase do accept faster payments, I wonder what the fees are if they are lower than this could be a winner for the UK.

As others have said your best bet is to offer your services if you have any skills or create a new account and try not to get negative trust, then once you rank up you can join the larger campaigns.  It will not get you your BTC2 now but it will work for you n time.

Pretty cool idea and can see that it is working up to now, nice idea on the giveaway, who doesn't like a giveaway.  I will keep my eye on this one.

Think I'll be staying mainly here, although it can't hurt to do both can it.

It's happened, just need to take it on the chin and move on.  If you gamble you always face the possibility of losing no matter how good the odds are, you'll feel bad but what choice do you have but to move forward.

Thought this was something by Coinbase, the header is quite misleading but then anyone reading the OP should work it out for themselves it is not associated with Coinbase.

Not too sure if there would be any issues as you are just sending from one BTC address to another BTC address

In my experience I have always won and the  end up losing it all plus some.  Slots tend to give false hope and you will lose in the end.

Agreed, faucets are no good if you are looking to make a decent amount of BTC as others have said joining a signature campaign and building up your rank in the forum is one way.  You could also offer service or sell some stuff.

Suppose they all want to create their own private Blockchains so they can have control over them as usual.

It could be a useful slogan, piece of marketing for them.  There would be no rush though as they can do this at anytime, probably once it starts to get mainstream adoption.

This seems like huge news.  Will need to find out which retailers use these terminals and if any are local, this could be the news that brings Bitcoin back into the spotlight, although if this is not promoted in stores and it is just an add on that you need to ask about it will have a lesser impact.

It will be interesting to see what happens, will it reach the heights it has previously? Perhaps, it will get harder for people coming into Bitcoin now to make any impact by mining, better buy them up whilst they are relatively cheap.

I think just everyday things would be great, cigarettes from your local shop, train tickets and of course your household bills, when we reach that point a lot of people will be happy.
