There is nothing stopping you using SEO and monetizing from marketing. There are all kinds of marketing out there. Affiliate. Referral. CPA. Website advertising PPC. Social media.
You can use any social media to bring traffic into a funnel and direct it from there to all your offers and monetization methods.

Your website looks nice and clean. I have a bit of advice though. Don't forget to add your own ads and affiliate and referral links. You can increase your earnings quite a bit.
You will also get it cheaper since you own the site. You are in need of more ads since you lacking some. I also think that you should bring up your referral % or add a level or ranking system to it.
Remember referrals advertise for you so you don't have to. But they need to be rewarded.

Pretty clever. I didn't know you got such things. Very good for marketing purposes. How are the sales going are you doing well? What sort of people/companies buy from you?

i really like this script but it is very easy for bots to claim from faucet (self experience) Smiley maybe u can add a shortlink option to prevent that or add anti bot links Wink

really that would be ++ Cheesy .

If you do then you will have to bring the price up since it won't be worth it otherwise.


Who's voice is that? There is free software to do it yourself? Pretty cool I might think about it for promotions.
364  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin ATM is increasingly widespread? on: November 12, 2019, 02:35:39 PM
We don't actually have very many here even though bitcoin is fairly widely supported online. Maybe we do have more I just haven't looked. I know where one is and it is very far away. I have heard that the fees are killer and thus rendering this service useless. That sucks. It is still a good idea. Anything that is bitcoin related can drive bitcoin forward, so all are welcome.
365  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People are underutilizing Bitcoin on: November 12, 2019, 02:05:00 PM
I don't really know what you are talking about. I get paid in bitcoin so obviously I spend it. Thanks to bitcoin crypto is now an alternative payout option for me at more than one site that I use to make money.
Then anything I do here on top of that I get paid bitcoin as well. I only get paid in fiat from one advertising company but it is ok it just means I will always have a bit of fiat to keep my bank account open and active and to allow me to spend fiat where I cannot spend any bitcoin. Online is bitcoin all the way unless they do not accept which is about 25% of the time perhaps 33% now that payfast no longer support bitcoin.

So really for spending money I just use what I get in fiat and food and stuff I just sell 2 or 3 bit cents a month. I keep well over half of my earnings in crypto. It is so much easier to spend and much less of a headache.
366  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Scarcity is one of the leading factors of Bitcoins value on: November 12, 2019, 11:21:22 AM
21 million cap in my opinion is not about scarcity and price but instead it is more about having a clear maximum supply and a clear predefined plan for distribution of that supply. this design was specifically chosen to fix the problem with fiat system where there is absolutely no cap and no predefined plan of supply creation. the government can print as much money as they like and that causes inflation among a lot of other economical issues.

as a side product of that, we get the scarcity and with a limited supply and an increasing demand we get the rising price. of course it should not be forgotten that the demand is an important part of that rise otherwise we have altcoins with much smaller supply that are not only worth less than bitcoin but they are losing value as time goes by even though they are supposedly scarce too.

This is also pretty much why it takes so much mining power to solve the algorithms. The distribution is split so many times due to all the miner in more of a fairway then fiat ever was. Fiat is not released t the public in exchange for any sort of proof of work but rather printed out as you said indefinitely as much as they see fit and who knows how often they do it behind closed doors. This is why crypto rules since you cannot hide such activity (not that you can print out bitcoin) due to the nature of the transparency of the blockchain.

Bitcoin you are told the rules upfront. You know what to expect and you know the supply. hell you even know the supply rate and how many transactions and movement is going on whenever you wish, no wonder the government doesn't want crypto ^^ They know they can no longer hide their corrupt financial dealings.
367  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Holiday Season Card with QR code on: November 12, 2019, 11:15:04 AM
I have made a gift card for each member of my family. I will teach my brother how to buy steam gift cards with his and I will show my parents how easy it is to buy things online with it. They might not adopt it but I at least want them to have the opportunity to experience it and just so they can actually say they have not only used bitcoin and but also made a purchase with it.


That's a unique idea but what bothers me is that, are you just going to give it to someone with an account and keys already? Or even with people who doesn't have idea with bitcoin. If yes, it means they still have to create a wallet? But what if since they lack knowledge, they might get scammed by others or what if when you gave it to them, they might lose the greeting cards?
Yes I've thought of that too, not everyone can and will be able to understand how to create a wallet and how to sweep the coins in an existing Bitcoin wallet. The term "private keys" sounds like an alien word to those with zero knowledge. I am still working on this idea since I still have more than a month to work on it before the holiday season.

there are a lot of more confusing terms and concepts to people with zero knowledge than "private key", in fact this is one of the most clear terms that is also self explanatory! it is a "key" that does exactly what a key does, it "unlocks" your secrets and should be kept "private". Tongue

Exactly. I don't see why it is so difficult to grasp for some. Even mining is easy to understand I understood is within the first ten or twenty minutes fo learning about bitcoin. It basically the same as actual mining which is why they called it that  Roll Eyes Makes me wonder what goes on in some peoples heads.

That's a unique idea but what bothers me is that, are you just going to give it to someone with an account and keys already? Or even with people who doesn't have idea with bitcoin.

Its possible that they might end up feeling remorse about it because of scammers since they don't have enough understanding on how they can use it, maybe its better that you give them idea so they won't fall into some sort of scam. As you can see scammers these days are using strategies and techniques to deceive others and they can take advantage on it to get the benefits that they wanted, but if you have given them some ideas and information that can enlighten them then I think it will be much better, right? in that way they won't get confuse.

That's why you educate them. Teach them and arm them with the things they need to know. That with common sense and some patience and they will be fine.
368  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should Bitcoin lower its carbon footprint? on: November 12, 2019, 10:54:00 AM
Not sure if I believe the statistics here to be honest, not really sure if bitcoin transactions take up that much electricity, seems quite a bit exaggerated to be honest.

I'll do the napkin math for you.

Every day 144 blocks are mined, every block rewards the miner 12.5 + 0.1555 BTC. So every day 1822,392 BTC (= $16,4 million) is given to miners (on average). If you assume for every BTC a miner mines he pays 0.5 BTC in electricity (not sure how accurate this is, just estimating) than that would mean $8,2 million spent on electricity daily. If we assume an electricity cost of $0.06/kWh that comes down to 273,3 million kWh daily. If we consider 300,000 txs per day we get roughly 910 kWh per tx. Which is what the average US household consumes per month. So that's even worse than what the original post said.


Again this is really rough napkin math, if you want more accurate estimations, go to the link I put in the OP, it is way more accurate :p

It is not as much as that your maths seems wrong to me (unless I am wrong then forgive me) 8.2 million is = 820million cents. 1 kWh is 0.06, therefore, 820/6= 136.66million kw per day Somewhere you doubled up. But still, that is a crap load I didn't realize it was so much damn.
369  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Bounties (Altcoins) / Re: 🔥🔥🔥[ANN][AIRDROP] FREE ETH, ERC-721 TOKENS FROM GACHA DROP BY HB WALLET🔥🔥🔥 on: November 12, 2019, 09:36:26 AM
I start collecting since a while now. During that first gatcha 3 posts up I got 2 common flowers and 1 ancient. I am disappointed though with the game. You don't do anything. You just plant something which does nothing.
You can breed I think only when planted so I guess it does that. But it costs a few $$ to breed and you have no idea what you are going to get.

This new gatcha where you win fossils is nice. You need to get 20x drops to get 1 fossil for a gatcha spin when it comes out. It doesn't cost $0.40 as well in fees so I do hope it is worth it.
I also noticed god unchained has many tx I didn't expect that.
It's a nice token with a fun idea. I like it
370  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What Makes a Successful Crypto on: November 11, 2019, 05:34:56 PM
A good cryptocurrency project should involve a group of people who are passionate and believe in themselves and will keep the coin updated and be actively involved in it's development.
You will need to have something of substantial substance in order to be ahead of the other coins. The way it works and is mined has already been determined time and time again.
We don't need that. What we need is some useful things we can get spending the coin or something we get for holding it.
371  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Never possible earn free bitcoin without work. on: November 10, 2019, 11:57:56 PM
It annoys me endlessly when these websites tell you to "earn" free bitcoin or whatever currency it may be. If you have to do something first before you get something then it is not free.
They use the word free to help them with google search when people are looking for free giveaway and airdrops. I guess you can't really blame them. Especially when everyone else is doing the same exact thing.
They have to keep up somehow.

Paid to click and faucet you can make a bit but you need referrals. Paid to click would be much better but most of those sites don't stick around for more then a few months anyway and by the time you have build your referral army.... Poof.... Gone. Other then that fact that they disappear, I decent working model is definitely a viable source of income. The more popular sites that have been around for years are more suited.
You need to know how to get referrals and be constant at it. Then you can make passive income. You only get cents but cents x100s of users = dollars and for some of us a few dollars a day can help. Like $10 a day is pretty decent for some passive income. If paid to click and faucets were not profitable they would not exist. I personally would rather build email lists for cpa though.
372  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: You can share your own opinion if you have. on: November 10, 2019, 03:32:21 PM
I think longterm invest and short-term trade. Feed your main investments with your trade. Basically sell off the shit coin for better coins or some of the main currencies such as doge, Eth, LTC, Tron and the rest of those.
Shorter-term would be projects you believe in. Ultimately you want to increase your holdings in tokens or coins that you can spend.

So you split your investments into 3. Longterm investment in the main crypto, secondary investment in other crypto and then third is short term trading to feed the investments with the ultimate goal of increasing the coins from the first group.
373  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is your favorite project these days? on: November 10, 2019, 03:13:44 PM
I like tokpie and MediaCoin.

The one is backed by bounty hunters and exchange and investors in the actual token. I have profited off this already.
The other is a peer2peer network. I have made a few coins seeding here.

I had some interest in some others but nothing seems to be going on with them so I left them alone for now.
374  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are ICOs really DEAD or simply cleared a path for better projects? on: November 10, 2019, 01:39:52 PM
I don't think ICO is dead. I just think there is a serious lack of good projects. I like to think people have woken up and are not just investing in anything like they were in before.
Maybe scammers are exhausted? xP There are still questionable projects coming out but they seem a bit better with their presentation. Still... Most of them are just hot air and nothing more. Someone's dreams that will never be reach or just plain chance-taking "If we don't make it at least we have the ICO funds to run off with" seeing as they already have the money why would they follow through with the project especially if it was a difficult one. There need to be some legal agreements so they are legally held accountable because right now they are not and can pretty much do anything and there is very little you can do about it and that is why it keeps happening. It is up to us to stop it and help and warn one another of these threats.
375  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if Bitcoin was Created by the CIA, FBI, US Military??? on: November 10, 2019, 12:58:44 PM
I can't believe you made a whole post about this and used all that time when you already know the answer. Why in the world would law enforcement create something that gives us power and them none?
How is that even logical? This topic is not logical to begin with but it is still interesting none the less to figure out the inner workings of other peoples minds.
All of those organisation are American. Why do Americans seem to often think that their country is the only country to exist? Not all of us have to answer to those shitty organisations. I am so glad I do not have to report to the IRS my sweet lord those guys are like thugs that are protected by law. America is really a mess. You guys don't even know how to handle crypto. Everything good for people it seems the American goverment wants to destroy. Look at the drug war that only happened because of the war with alternative motives as is usual with America.

Once I went out and put too much oil on my plate. I thought the US military was going to come rolling in to liberate my plate of its oil. Your president makes the most ridiculous statements over and over again about pretty much everything. I don't know how that guy's brain works. I think that melanin that makes his face orange is effecting his brain or something.

So no bitcoin was most definitely beyond any double of logic not created by law enforcement.
376  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 3 Things You like To learn on: November 10, 2019, 12:48:00 PM
It's in the word.... I want content from a content maker. I don't want to hear what they think they can do or about their delusion fantasy dreams. Have something to show us or gtfo now!! Simple as that.
It amazes me to see people supporting or investing total shit then they cry their tokens have no value. What did they think would happen? Did they really think the tokens will go up in value just because the creator said so?
If I sell magic beans to people in an ICO do you think will take part? Legit magic beans, oh and a golden goose.

I don't want to hear. Who is in the project. Noone cares.
I don't want to hear the capital or your background or what degrees you have.
I don't want specualtion and bs either.

I want work.
I want content actual solid content not something someone pulled out their arse trying to take a chance making a quick buck.
377  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Crypto Bounty Hunters (Right or Worng?) on: November 10, 2019, 12:21:01 PM
Overall all those projects are pyramid schemes. So, the sooner you sell, the higher the price you will get for your pyramid ntokens. Sell them right away.

Except for when they not and you patient instead of a penny-pinching dumper. You buy what the idiots dump and you make a killing. I have made over 1btc just for investing some time in mining a coin that raised in price by over 100x I sold for over 1btc in a single trade. Another project I was paid a bounty for I wold for close to 1 btc as well. They were worth a lot to begin with but the project actually existed and was working so I decided to hold and see what happens. The coin went crazy and I sold. There was a swap and after the swap the coin went up again. The project is still around they are called Snovio the coins/token is called Snovio (SNOV)
https://snovian.space/news-feed/general-pool

People who support tokens with no use are stupid. Another example of good token is tokpie which is backed by bounty hunters investors and an exchange. These both ran ICO's and are still around doing very well.
I have a large investment in both. I have already doubled up with tokpie buying and selling tokens. People are just lazy. I promise you there many bounties here that are worth your time.
378  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How BIG will the crypto market be if China legit cryptos? on: November 10, 2019, 12:09:17 PM
Legalization of crypocurrencies in China doesn't automatically mean that everyone suddenly puts their money into cryptocurrencies, so don't get your hopes up. With that said, if they really wanted cryptocurrencies, they would already grab some through exchanges like btcc.com; because though cryptocurrencies aren't declared legal in China(as far as I know), they aren't illegal either.

Yes exactly. I really don't know what the OP is talking about. Those who want bitcoin or crypto already have. Those who do not are just not exposed to it yet or have yet to discover it's joys.
Google is banned in China and people use it. If bitcoin is banned people will still use it. Even more so. Why would you want a communist country tracing your financial info? Using bitcoin makes sense. You can't prove who is a holder of bitcoin. If you could then people could make all sorts of crazy accusations about anyone about anything. Really do they think the rest of the world will sit and do nothing while Chine punishes people for using bitcoin? Not gonna happen. No country would support such laws. May as well make slavery legal again to quite honest.
379  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Friendly City on: November 10, 2019, 12:05:36 PM
What can you buy in those top 10 countries with bitcoin? Can I buy everyday things or does it just mean that many people and businesses or services support bitcoin?
Could you maybe add to the OP some examples of the biggest or most successful bitcoin-accepting businesses? Could you also state whether or not they are physical locations you can exchange bitcoin in person or online.
Here it is still all online. I only buy online anyway. Private businesses and entrepreneurs you could approach and ask. I once got into a conversation about crypto with an only trader I was buying some plant seeds from and he said if I like I can pay him in doge or eth so I paid in eth.
380  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What Makes a Successful Crypto on: November 09, 2019, 12:16:45 PM
Also ability to stand the test of time coz most crypto has failed to that, constant innovation is also important, everybody want something new
many projects die because they stop to innovate, the viability of the project can continue when the innovation continues but some developers forget it which makes the project can reduce demand.

It's not really lack of innovation that kills coins. It's lack of investors. You need new investors to come into a project, and for that to happen you need to be listed on lots of exchanges. If you are on just one small exchange and your existing coin holders are constantly selling, you are doomed.

No, it's not. It is more of a lack of actual real-world uses for the coins. They are mostly backed by nothing. Nothing at all, not even a little bit. So why hold onto these coins or tokens for the future?
It is just a waste of your time and money. Unless the token or coin has an actual use or is backed by some sort of product or service it is useless.

Investors won't invest in something where... Well... There basically is no investment since.... What are you actually investing in? A coin that only has value if it is on the exchange and the only reason people buy it is to try profit off of it by passing it off to someone else.
