BitRevenues - ~ where lottery is free! ~

[jacktheking]

I would suggest the possibility to buy more tickets and 90%+ of their sales to go in the pot

BitRevenues is created for those who want free and fair lottery. And I dont want to deal with the authorities or what so ever. So I wont be adding this features.

I second this idea. Offer them for free on faucet claims, with the ability to buy more.

I actually thought of this. However the faucet will not be hosted on BitRevenues site. Instead, I will be contacting a few popular faucets such as the Bitcoin Aliens group for them to give out coupon codes. The coupon code will enable our users to get another free roll - without the need to wait.

I like that idea. It also helps promote synergy between faucets, which is a huge plus! Do you have an ETA of when you are planning to launch everything yet?

Planning to start it on 2nd July 2015. Not really sure too. I might be switching host and it might take another 24 hours for the DNS switch to took place.

How many winning tickets will there be? How will the revenues be shared?

The revenues will be shared within 7 parties. Five winning tickets (it can be same person), 1 donation (to start up and/or non-profit) and myself.

The five winning tickets will each get 15% of our total revenues for that round. So, 5 * 15 = 75%.
The organization will get 15%. So, 75% + 15% = 90%.
And.. Lastly, I will get 10%.
==========================================
I would have loved this program entirely but the clause here (it can be same person), this should be addressed because I wonder how only one person will win five times in a lottery draw.

There will be five winners and each winner will get 15% of the total revenue. As for your second question, I think ranlo have already answered.

I'm looking forward to this, . And DNS propagation should only take a few seconds. You can actually check it in real-time here. I love that site, .

Oh wow. I never knew we could check DNS update using tool like whatsmydns.net. Thanks for the link. .

There's a few more as well but I like that one because it's quick and accurate, and you can search domain, A Name, and many other things, depending on how the domain's set up.

Added a new features whereas you can specific a ticket you would like to claim. However, the ticket should not be owned by someone before your claim. Also, to make things faster, the referral system will only be one level. You still stand a 5% to 10% chance to get a free ticket when your referral roll. Website is set to be launched at 0700 2nd July 2015 - GMT +0000 - if everything go smooth.

By specifying a ticket you'd like to claim, do you mean like being able to say "I want ticket #79" and then if it's still available, it's yours? Or did you mean something different?

It's like any other lottery... why should a person that visited 5x as many times NOT have the ability to get 5x as many rewards? I see nothing wrong with it.

O.K, it means there is room for multiple entry?

Yes. You're right. Users can claim a ticket which is available after the cooldown period* end.

Yes. Each person may claim one tickets per hour.

* one ticket per hour, 24 tickets per day.

This is a good idea but I search for a link or website to signup with your free lottery but I did not see any.

The site isn't up yet. He'll update us here when it's live and ready to use, .

Alright then, I will be here waiting.

I already uploaded my lottery script to BitRevenues.com. However, registration is disabled. Well, I have some bugs to fix and I need to add ads before I can enable the registration function. Estimated to be ready in 48 hours. Sorry, I can't keep my promise - 0700 2nd July 2015 (GMT +0000).

So do I understand this correctly? The people visit your site and solve a Capthca in the same way that they would visit a normal faucet, with the main difference that they will not receive instant reward in Satoshi, BUT a claim or a token to a lottery? The more tokens you have the higher the probability you have of winning the Lottery?

How many prizes will there be in the lottery? Freebitco.in has 10 winning chances in their lottery.

Yes. You're right. There's will only be five winners each round. Each of them will be taking ~15% of the revenues earned that round. And we will donate another 10% to a organization or group (most likely non-profit). The leftover 10% will be absorbed by me. I hope you understand how the revenues is shared now.

Edit: I hope you dont mind me copying and pasting your text into the first post and website. It's clearer - easy to understand.

Is there any chance you can make a couple revisions to the site? These are major QoL problems:

1) Leave users signed in. Every hour (or when someone returns) they have to go back to login -> sign in -> claim ticket. This makes it take a while sometimes to finally get it done. Leaving users signed in would make this a lot more user-friendly

2) When signed in, forward the user to the claim page when visiting the site. When we use an affiliate link, it always takes the visitor to the "sign up" page. They then have to go to the login page and follow the steps in #1. This is especially problematic on rotators that use this, as the user is ALWAYS taken back to the sign up page

Thanks!

Ahh. Thanks for your suggestions. I'll work on that.

BitRevenues is opened to all. Come, join us and get a free ticket which might make you ~0.015 Bitcoin!

Since it just launched. I have a special 'promotion'. Until next Monday (13/07/2015) you will be able to claim a ticket every 15 minutes. And from next Monday to 13/07/2015 you will be able to claim a ticket every 30 minutes. After the promotion ended, the normal time is back - 1 claim every hour.

Congratulations for the successful lunch of your website, but it would be a little bit better if the adverts were placed in the area that they cannot be clicked mistakenly.

I want to also add that as of about two days ago, I can't visit the faucet anymore without being forwarded off to another site due to one of the ads (an ad has a script that force-forwards the browser to the advertiser's site), so I've been unable to use it.

Hello and thanks for the warm congratulations from you. May I know which Ad slots are you revering to? Currently there's only three advertisements. MellowAds [Header], AdBit.co [Footer] and A-ads [Right sidebar].

Hi Ranlo,

I pushed an update to redirect AdBlocker to http://www.pointerpointer.com/ (a troll site) two days back. If you have AdBlock enabled, please disable it everywhere and visit my site again. Once it is loaded, you can enable AdBlock everywhere and than disable on BitRevenues.com only. I also forgot to mention that I make some changes to the code in index, register and login pages so that signed-in user can click on a link to get back to the dashboard. I hope I got what you wanted in the suggestion you posted in post #35.

As far as I know, user with problem going to my site (getting redirected to other site) is due to AdBlock being enabled.

Aha, interesting. I was wondering why nobody else reported it. That explains a lot, . And yeah, you were right: it was PointerPointer I was being forwarded to, so all is working as it should (BTW, I had never heard of that site and it's awesome -- I started messing with it a couple days ago and shared it with others as well!).

Thanks for the clarification!
