60%+ of all the traffic to stuffpoints is coming from this forum. The rest is just split up among really tiny sources.

If I was looking to increase relevant traffic I'd just look into Google Adwords and try to target sites/pages that mention bitcoin.

Check out the link in my sig. Purchase items with BTC, shipped to you via Amazon.

You know you have dvds, video games, etc. just laying around. Turn that stuff into BTC! List your items for sale on StuffPoints.com, join the other 100s of items up for sale.

Users can purchase items directly for BTC, after their payment is verified, you will be able to ship your item out to them. Once they receive it, they'll leave you feedback and the escrow amount will be released.

Here, check out things I've listed viewable on the site + my profile -> http://www.stuffpoints.com/user/jack/

All payments have been sent out as of today. Lots of BTC and Amazon Card requests!
10  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Here's the problem - BitCoin users are too cheap and just want to hide it on: June 19, 2011, 10:05:24 AM
I see lots of people just looking to convert BTC to cash, or when they want to buy large items they cant find anyone selling them for BTC. Like $2k+ products.

Personally, I've mainly just been buying BTC to use with various projects so I guess I'm hoarding. Its an exciting time right now for new Bitcoin projects to come out of the woodwork and vie for bitcoins.

Besides converting to USD, I think tipping/gambling people are probably up in the top uses right now.


I TRIED to buy beefjerky with BTC, but the business owner reneged on the deal.

I TRIED to gamble it all away but couldn't find a fair place to do it that wasn't just some stupid lottery or rigged site.

I TRIED to do lots of things with bitcoins.  The only thing I was able to successfully buy with it was USD.  Not surprisingly I was easily able to buy beefjerky with these magical USD, and my friends sure did enjoy taking them from me in our poker game.

13  Other / Obsolete (selling) / Order Amazon Products with Bitcoins (first 4 buyers get 0.25BTC) on: June 18, 2011, 06:04:27 AM
Purchase products directly with your BTC. Find an item you want, place the order including your shipping address, send the BTC, receive a confirmation email and the item is shipped out to you.

Search here for products, millions of items available.
http://www.stuffpoints.com/browse-new/

Examples of things you might want!
Redbull
Starcraft 2
CoD Black Ops xbox/ps3
Kindle

Want to just get Amazon.com Gift Cards instead of us placing the orders for you:
Amazon.com $25 Gift Card


First four people to place an order after this post will get 0.25BTC (order must total 0.26BTC or more) sent to them. Just post here before placing the order to reserve your spot as one of the four. I'll send BTC when your item has been ordered. Then please come back to post when you receive the item so people know its legit.
14  Economy / Marketplace / StuffPoints.com - Sell your stuff, Buy from users, Shop @ Amazon.com with BTC on: June 17, 2011, 10:13:57 AM
Hey everyone,

I may have unnecessarily overcomplicated this project. Since its usable now, I'm just releasing it and would appreciate some community feedback!

http://www.stuffpoints.com/

What is StuffPoints.com?
StuffPoints main purpose is to let users buy/sell their stuff (dvds,videogames,electronics) for virtual currency. We 'escrow' users currencys (Second Life Linden, Bitcoins) in our local non-cash trading points. This locks the currency into an already agreed upon rate. 100StuffPoints=1 Dollar trading/bartering power, backed by the ability to buy on Amazon

Basic explanation is you can buy users items/shop@Amazon with BTC, and sell items for BTC. BTC is escrowed so you can ship out the item with confidence that the payment is held for you.


What Can I do at StuffPoints.com?
-Purchase new stuff from Amazon.com with BTC. Search for items with the link below. When you find a product you want, just click on Purchase with BTC and it will give you the total price and payment information. Send your BTC, receive an email confirmation when your BTCs are received, and your order is processed by us through Amazon.com US only, free shipping at the moment.
http://www.stuffpoints.com/browse-new/

-Sell your Stuff
List items you have from dvds, to video games, to electronics. Users make offers on your items with their payments escrowed. Accept an offer, ship the product to the user (with delivery confirmation), and upon the buyer receiving your item, you receive Points on the site (convertible to BTC).

-Buy Users stuff
Convert your BTC to our non-cash trading currency StuffPoints. With the StuffPoints you can then make offers on users stuff. Your points get saved when they agree to the offer, and they ship your item. Once you confirm receipt, your StuffPoints get released to them and they can then convert the StuffPoints to BTC. Cant find anything on the site? Convert your StuffPoints back to BTC, or buy from Amazon.com at the fixed rate 100StuffPoints = $1 Dollar.
[I'm planning on adding the ability to buy users items directly with BTC, only on items being sold with a 'Buy Now Price'. That way we can escrow your BTC, and get them to ship out the item without you having to convert into our trading currency.]

How are StuffPoints created?
-I'm putting StuffPoints into the site by offering them in exchange for Second Life Lindens and BTC. (like any user on StuffPoints can do if they have StuffPoints) I regularly buy $Lindens, and am starting to buy BTC to supply my rewards site. So instead of buying from SecondLife directly, or BTC from the exchange, I'm pumping the $$ into StuffPoints. By letting users cashout their StuffPoints directly for Amazon.com merchandise, I'm ensuring their non-cash trading power. 100 StuffPoints = $1 Dollar on Amazon.com
-I have a sponsored offer section where users can complete offers like signing up to netflix, in return for StuffPoints. Advertisers have compensated me around $50 so far, which resulted into 50,000 StuffPoints being dolled out to those users. The current users on the site are from SecondLife.

The more people use the site, the more StuffPoints will just exist and be used to facilitate all the transactions as a middleman trading currency.

How exactly do users cashout, from StuffPoints -> Bitcoins?
When you have StuffPoints on the site, you can offer them for Bitcoins and pick your rate. For instance BTC0.05 / SP100. This would be 1BTC for 20,000 StuffPoints ($20 trading power). When you offer your stuffpoints, they get locked on the site. And when a user wants StuffPoints, they can pay you the BTC and you release the StuffPoints through our stepbystep trading system. Also in the event of a user purchasing an item from Amazon.com, they would send you the exact amount of BTC for the item. Upon receiving you would confirm, and their order would proceed (taking your StuffPoints). On their end, their purchase goes through like a normal checkout, and they do not realize their BTC is escrowed through a user cashing out. This is just to make the Amazon.com (or future stores) purchasing as easy as possible.

What happens in the event of a dispute?
There is a feedback system on the site so when selling your own stuff for instance, you can pick and choose who you sell to based on their previous positive feedback. Sellers are encouraged to get delivery confirmation to prove delivery.
When sending/receiving BTC, public keys are saved for the trade, and we would look at the public records to verify a trade actually happened if a user is claiming they did not get BTC.

Why a middleman trading currency (StuffPoints) instead of direct buying/selling?
-Easier to lock currency in at an agreed upon rate. So if BTC exchange rates change during a transaction, no one is affected.
-I do not want to hold BTC/Linden or any future virtual currency the site deals with.

Current Fee Structure
-No fees on virtual currency trades.
-No fees on selling/buying stuff from users.
-$1 fee when purchasing items from Amazon.com $1 goes to reward users who refer friends who list their items & make a trade.

What can I buy right now, this very minute?
-Brand new stuff from Amazon.com directly with BTC
-100+ items currently listed on the site. Here is my profile listing all the stuff I've listed on the site for trade http://www.stuffpoints.com/user/jack/


I'm going to be editing this and try to clean it up to make it easier to read.

Looking for some feedback, questions, concerns, and hopefully some transactions on the site. I didn't want the site to let people cashout into USD or allow purchasing in with USD to try and make it an actual virtual currency marketplace.

You aren't hashing passwords! My god man, you dare use the lulzsec picture and you don't even understand the most basic security step to protect your users!?!?!

I wasn't aware that lulzsec adopted that image, its been my favorite forum avatar for awhile now since seeing the whole set of that version of reaction faces.

Didn't mean to offend with it, switched to a different one.  Wink

Sadly, I thought hashing passwords for a site like this would be more work for the users, mainly during password recovery time. Also you would be surprised at how many users forget their password immediately after registration. [removed my long explanation]

Hashing the passwords now and setting up a new password recovery tool to put everyones mind at ease.  Smiley

EDIT: User details now encrypted for current users and all future users. As a sidenote we've given out 0.15 BTC so far aswell as some Amazon GCs and Game Cards today.

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Also happens for register.php

You might be behind a proxy. One of the main issues with sites like this, is fraud coming from the users, so we've had to try and limit proxy access. If thats not the case, then I'm not sure what else it could be at the moment.  Lips sealed

I canno't find any options for Bitcoin payments on the site? I only see PayPal and "Gold points"

If you are logged in:
Click on Redeem at the top, and then click on Rewards. Its the first on the Rewards page.

If you aren't logged in:
http://www.goldcarrot.com/redeem_rewards.php?prize=151

BitCoin is one out of 100s of prizes/rewards that the site is setup for. Because of that you have to earn Cash/GoldPoints. And then use those to redeem for the BitCoin.

Hope that helps!


EDIT:
These sites aren't meant for everyone! Since BitCoin users are more tech savvy than the users we typically target, I'd imagine BTCrs would get the most out of the site by just using the referral system and bringing others onboard who want some of the random prizes.

I'm hoping this will at least offer another option for getting free'ish (even if its small) amounts of BitCoins to be spread around.

Hey everyone,

http://www.GoldCarrot.com/ now offers Bitcoins as a reward for completing offers, signing up to websites, LIKE'ing things on facebook, creating youtube videos, and referring your friends.

The site works like most Point/Reward sites, if you are unfamiliar with these types of sites feel free to ask questions!

Create your free account: http://www.goldcarrot.com/register.php
1 Account per household. All countries welcome.

You can earn Gold on the site by,
-Completing Offers which are things like registering to websites, completing surveys, signing up for services like Netflix. (we have offers for most countries)
-Watching YouTube Ads (US only)
-Completing Tasks like Facebook Liking, Twitter Following, and doing various things online.
-Betting and Playing Tic-Tac-Toe against other users
-Betting on the outcome of future events (sports events)
-Referring friends, you get 10% of the Gold earned by your friends.
You can refer friends who want other prizes such as DeviantArt Points, Amazon GCs, Gaia Cash, Habbo Coins, etc. See all rewards-> http://www.goldcarrot.com/redeem_rewards.php
Spamming your referral link will get you banned from our GoldCarrot.com Its recommended you just stuff your referral link in things like forum signatures, your facebook stream, in a tweet, etc.

Then you redeem for BitCoins, minimum withdraw of 0.01
http://www.goldcarrot.com/redeem_rewards.php?prize=151

By completing offers you should be able to make 0.25 BitCoin in a day or so. We have 1,600 offers in our database spread among all countries, so there are plenty of opportunities to earn.

I've been giving out free $Linden in SecondLife for a few years with this same setup, and it seems to work for everyone involved. I'm of course open to feedback on how to improve the site.

Questions, comments, or concerns just let me know!

Where does the money come from that buys the BitCoins?
-BitCoins are bought with money paid to the site from advertisers. So when you complete an offer for instance, the advertiser will pay the site $0.50 USD. Then we give you $0.45 and keep $0.05 for running the site.

Hey, it seems like getting out of the newbie box is going to take awhile.

I'm working on some BitCoin related websites that'll launch as soon as I acquire some more coin and find an area to promote it.

What kind of projects are you working on, or is it secret?

Not secret!

I've ran a 'Free Second Life Linden' site since 2007, and I'm basically going to open one up for BitCoins soon. Where users do things like watch youtube videos/ads, facebook LIKE pages, complete offers, register to sites, etc. and earn BitCoin. In addition to BitCoins users could also withdraw the earned rewards to Second Life, or redeem for amazon gift cards, etc. The site is done, minimum withdrawal is 0.01 BitCoins. I just need to buy/trade for more. Ive traded $L for some, but need more to be on the safe side. On average I'd assume most users would only be able to earn like 0.25 BTC, more only if they put in a lot of effort in 'Tasks'.

Other sites I was thinking about were an online casino where users could compete in skill based games to see who gets the highest amount of points. I'd also like to try my hand at a marketplace.

Those are probably the best three ideas I have. The codes all done from previous projects. Ive had lots of random virtual currency websites over the past few years, so its basically just reworking them for BitCoins and seeing if theres any interest.
