That is a great reward amount. Although it is high, it should be sustainable as many people will give up before reaching the minimum withdraw. I hope the best for your faucet!

You can see the person trust on eBay, and that tells you something. But if you are paying outside of eBay, they cannot protect your purchase, and you will not be able to chargeback.

I never had any problems. Although I only did some very low amount transfers (not even reached the 100k satoshi values) and do not use it often.

Thanks for sharing all those experiences, will be even more careful from now on.

Cryptopia exchange has an store in which users can sell stuff for BTC and other cryptos. As far as I know, you only need to have a nick registered (i.e, you can be anonymous). Do not know about the protection they offer, though.

I think this is the point.

The fact that it has more value than dollar does not mean much really. It is all in the names. If we call the 1000 dollar note "one grand", we could say "Grands are better than BTC because they have more value".

However, I hope for Bitcoin to be great too!

Chargeback sucks, and as a merchant you are somewhat helpless when that happens.

I once received a 5$ donation for some advice given in a forum by paypal. Then the person (who had sent the 5$ freely without me asking for anything) repented. Without asking me first, he did a chargeback and I had no means to justify that was a donation or to demonstrate that I had helped that person.

My reputation got stained in paypal without even asking for money, and that made me think... What if I was really selling something? How could I have defended myself?

I felt it was not safe for merchants at all.

Ok, I will wait then. No problem. 

But, if we cannot get coins from cryptopia right now... Is there another way to get some?

I agree innovation has more challenges, and also agree all coins are about the same. I can also wait, but... I would like to see some coins in my wallet already if it is possible/there is another way to get them.

Thanks for all your efforts!

For how long have you been waiting? It makes me feel interested because I entered FLY yesterday and could not send the coins from cryptopia.

I totally agree with OP. I use a proxy out of necessity, as I have to work online reviewing search engines as if I was in another country. To have to turn the proxy down to do faucets is not an option (as I do faucets while I am working between page loads, and turning it on and off takes some time).

I am sure many users are just as me.

As for me, I will wait. Take your time vegas, important thing is that it ends up working good after all!

After the raise some weeks ago, reaching 500$ and more, it then went down around 300$. Will it go down again before the next big rebound? How low will it go if so? What are your guesses?

Fiat was tied to gold in the past. Coins were made from gold and people scrapped them to get an advantage before paying with them (that is the origin of the marks in the edge of coins, which were made to prevent that). When people got accostumed to exchanging fiat and somewhat "trusted" it, the gold dependance could be removed.

I guess it can happen to Bitcoin in the same vein. Once many merchants accept it and people use it to pay, it will be more "independent" from fiat (although it technically is already)

A sample of how much you would get for GB would be appreciated and make people consider it. It is easy to setup? I remember of a similar service that I quitted because I could not manage to setup it properly.

As for me, I am ahead. I learnt about Bitcoin about a year ago or so. Was around 311 at that time, so now it is almost the higher Bitcoin I have seen (apart from the last raise some weeks ago). That is pretty good!

I guess it also will get higher this year, so the subject is true for me.

The faucet looks good and is very fast to load with good payment. That is something I really appreciate on faucets.

However the withdraw minimum and the fee is a tad high. That is to say something, not really complaining, as I understand it is more sustainable that way. The only thing you need to do is to withdraw higher amounts to compensate the fee.

Keep on with the good work!

Lets hope it is worked out soon. Last night I asked in cryptopia chat and a mod told me they were working on fixing it.

Also CapnBDL did a great job in explaining me about the saving address and how to setup the wallet.

Hope wallet get fixed during the day, so I can withdraw some and test my wallet!

Hi everybody!

I got introduced to FLY today in cryptopia forum. I downloaded and synced the wallet and bought about 0.35 fly (did not have much BTC at the moment) in order to test it. Problem is, when I got to cryptopia balances to withdraw to my local wallet, I could not do it as cryptopia wallet was in maintenance. Hope it is not for long, as I really want to see those fly in my wallet already.

Is there any other way to fund my wallet with some fly?

Seems we are at the brink of getting there. Now it is raising fast again, but I think it will not reach 500 now, will go down a little bit and then up again to get to that mark.

So hold on to your coins!

It is funny to read that, because I am about to have 1.5 BTC (I am about 0.09 short right now). I have resoluted not to do anything until I get 1.5 BTC, then invest whatever amount I get above that in either cloud mining or staking coins. But my 1.5 BTC I would keep safe.

So my suggestion is just that, as the situation is so similar, and that is what I would do.
