I need some feedback on this please.

But beware that a longer time means bots can try for longer.

Please don't post your referral link here.
You can publish it in your signature.

Check the OP for some signature designs.


No, sorry. It can't be customized.

Time has been increased to 1 minute and 30 seconds.
(30 seconds more).

Thanks!

The first payout will be in about 1 and a half hours. Then the trading can begin.

Isn't one minute enough?

How much time do you think would be OK?

(The longer the time, the longer a bot can keep trying)

So far, 85.7900 CAPT claimed by 16 different addresses.

These stats will be updated hourly:

Cc8S1NY4a3NehLGh4JCmmtgbJJtWhXznDb is the closest to get a referral link.

That's the ultimate anti-bot captcha.

You can click the refresh button at right of the catpcha to show a different image for the same message.

Exactly one minute until launch and the beginning of the free distribution!

The auction for the Ads shown in the captcha form has been published:

https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=709901

100% of the received BTC will be used to buy CAPTcoins, and sent to the bounty fund for future developments and rewards.

Original Ads-selling idea was published here:

https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=683776.msg7843481#msg7843481

CAPTcoin is a new PoS coin with a new way to be distributed. To claim coins, people have to complete CAPT-chas.

There are 20,000,000 CAPT to be claimed, and there's a referral system. So it's expected thousands of people will visit get.captcoin.com hundreds of times each.

This is an auction for the 2 Ads spaces available at get.captcoin.com.

More information about CAPTcoin and its distribution can be found here:
https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=683776
Initial idea of the sale of Ads can be found here:

• There are a top 728x90 and a bottom 250x250 banners.
• The auction will last 10 days, starting when CAPTcoin is launched (today, July the 25th).
  Bidders will be able to check Analytics and update bids.
  (Bids are not expected during the first couple of days, until Analytics data is available)
• If requested, winner(s) will have access to the Analytics account. Of course, if the daily data published here is not real, the money will be fully refunded.
• The winners will send the payment (in Bitcoins) to a trusted escrow of bitcointalk.org.
  (If you're trusted and wiling to escrow, please post or PM me).
• After the auction is ended, banners will be shown during the remaining distribution period (until September the 13th, or until all 20M CAPT are distributed).

  If the escrow is willing to continue helping, he will pay directly to the users who sell their CAPTcoins.

Please bid in this format:

If a person claims coins for several hours per day during most of the distribution period,
he could get way more than 1k CAPT.

If several thousands of people claim CAPTcoins during 50 days, it's entirely possible to reach the 20M distribution.

If not all coins are distributed, anything remaining will be burned, so effectively the available
supply would be lowered, increasing the value of each coin.

The problem here is that it's impossible to foresee how many people will participate in the distribution
and therefore estimate the total number of coins to be distributed.

It's better if the distribution lasts the whole 50 days, so more people can be involved.


What point exactly do you mean?


Initial marketing strategies are referral links and hopefully media coverage.
Later, some of the coins in the bounty fund will be used for small giveaways and further marketing.

Coins will reevaluate when the reward halves, and then again when the distribution ends.

That increase in value may start a huge rise in price. (I guess you know how crypto-coins and speculation work).


If the price of CAPTcoin doesn't rise soon, yes some people may get tired.
Those who don't will get more coins (proportionally).

So when the price does rise, people in the later group will be more rewarded


Thanks.

I don't understand why the captcha providers were relevant to respond your first post.
I didn't know you were assuming I was getting income from the captchas.

Anyway, in less than 2 and a half hours you'll see the used captcha providers.



I hope you're right and I'll be able to downgrade the server.
For the moment I have a much more expensive one, better safe than sorry.

I see you're wrongly assuming the origin of my income.

Captcha providers are: reCaptcha, VisualCaptcha and a captcha system created by myself for this project (I have experience in that area).
Of course, none of them generates me any income. They were chosen based on security and difficulty to hack.

The fact people solve captchas doesn't generate any incomes for me. I could say it generates costs, because I needed to upgrade to a quite expensive server to handle the expected load.

My sources of income will be:

• Donations in CAPTcoin: People can donate here. There will also be an option to donate a small percentage while claiming the CAPTcoins in the captcha form.
• Added traffic to my sites: After the official sale of Ads (and distribution) is completed, I may add Ads of my own if CAPTcoin.com and forum.CAPTcoin.com have enough traffic.
• I will create several CAPTcoin services (automated escrow, dice games) and there will be a small fee. I will earn from those services if they get popular (I expect they will).

Here are some facts:

• People will make an effort to get CAPTcoins, unlike other coins where coins are given away (and still market cap is over $50k),
  so they will appreciate them and won't dump them for cents.
• Because of referrals, CAPTcoin will be heavily promoted by its own holders.
• Because it uses a new way to distribute, it will likely be promoted by the media.
• Because of its unique way to distribute, there will be a lot of stakeholders, much more than on other coins.
  All of them will want the value of every CAPTcoin to go up, and a percentage of them will work to see that happen.
• Because of the sale of Ads, there will be a bounty fund while still distributing 100% of coins.
  So, happy stakeholders, fair distribution, and active development. Not many coins can achieve that.
• Because of the same sale of Ads, there will be an initial push of the market
  (because CAPTcoin will be purchased with the obtained BTC).
• Reward will half twice, and then distribution will be over for ever. That will create a deflation.

Considering this, I really think the total market cap will be way way above $50.000.

But of course, nobody can know this for sure.


I hope I'll be able to make "5 number figures". That'd mean all early adopters would make 4- or 5-figure earnings.


Finally, please don't use bold, text size and colors.
If somebody is right, people will reply to their comments and everybody will read it, this is not a self-moderated thread. No need to "scream".

It's a false positive. I'm looking how to remove the warning, but I guarantee 100% it's a false positive.

I'm almost certain it's because the wallet has a built-in feature to PoW mine (via setgenerate true), besides the PoS stacking.

PoW blocks are now rejected, but I used setgenerate to mine the first block via PoW.

The false positive is related to mining. If it were real, the wallet would use 100% of the CPU, and you can verify that's not the case
(unless of course you use setgenerate true, don't do that).

The server is back up.

http://CAPTcoin.com

It's ready for the launch in 4 hours.

The server will soon be down for maintenance.
Its hardware is being upgraded.

It will be down for a few minutes.
