Thanks for the quick response.   

Anyone else experienced this with the Know a Bit More site?

Anyone else experienced this with the Know a Bit More site?

There is a problem with your site. It happened yesterday with the Bitcoin Oz site/question and it is happening now with the Dragon's Tale question.

I answer the question correctly, because I did it before, and then choose the thumbs-up button to submit the answer and then it stays on the loading screen with the tumbling-boxes graphic. I let it run yesterday for several minutes to see if it would eventually go on to the next page, but it didn't. It is stuck at that page as I type this. I end up having to reload the page and then get some error message and don't get paid for that question. Yesterday I only got credit for 1 out of 3 questions because of this. Today it is doing it on the first question I answered... I will try the next two questions to see if things might work for them... 

The 2nd session was the Dragon's Tale site again: it worked ( so it must not be tied to one particular site/question ).

The 3rd session is the Bitcoin Oz site and I answered the question right and submitted it and it is stuck again... 

I reload your site and check on the status of the address I used ( one of the winners in the newbie draw: 1E9gnhT4DY1gPxDFNg1ptR3Z5RCzmGchJr ) and confirm that address only got credit for that 1 out of 3 sessions. 

I hope you get this fixed. 

Added... Thanks.

Added...  Welcome! 

Editors gonna edit.          



Feel free to credit/blame me for any of the definitions I submit.   

I just thought of another one related to business...


PR - Public Relations, "Public relations is a strategic communication process that builds mutually beneficial relationships between organizations and their publics."
       Something sorely lacking in some, if not many, Bitcoin businesses. 

I won't mention any names - I probably don't have to - but I feel Slush gives a good example of the right way to do it.   

Welcome!  Feel free to submit a BTC address to enter the Free Daily Newbie Lotto.

I've seen both used.  The latter pronounced "bitmill". ( used in the Dragon's Tale MMO casino among other places )


Should actually be μBTC right... although most people would use a "u" instead of trying to figure out how to do "μ" on their keyboards.

I haven't seen that used much and haven't seen any BT[ ] equivalent, but perhaps would be:  BTμ  ( bitmic? )  
and no doubt wouldn't get used much because it looks so much like the acronym for "British Thermal Unit".

Winner of today's draw: #20 Arrogance

If you want to get a hold of the creator of that site: Gavin Andresen
But being the lead core Bitcoin developer he may be working on higher priority tasks.   

Perhaps, but some feel that loading a webpage, submitting a payment address, while being exposed to ads, isn't that great of an imposition.
