I haven't redacted my name or email address because I don't have anything to hide and everyone who knows me from the game servers I manage already has my info anyways (including spammers).

When I didn't receive anything, I contacted him via his Facebook page (I tried emailing him first but the email info@bitcoinaliens.com does not exist) and he replied saying "Coinbase would send me the 4 million satoshis after they completed their verification which could take some time".

There is nothing else to verify, I've even received and withdrawn Coinbase's signup bonus of 10K satoshis already. What he is doing is taking advantage of Coinbase's own referral bonus system which gives the equivalent of US$ 10 in bitcoin to both the user who invites another user and to the new user, once the new user buys US$ 100 in bitcoins: "Invite a friend who buys $100 of bitcoin or more, and you'll both earn $10 of free bitcoin!" (from Coinbase's site)

I told him I was gonna call out his little scam here and he replied:

"Pedro, they started a new referral programme where people get $10 for signing up."

The piece of shit "forgot" to add "AND buy US$ 100 in bitcoin".

How does the Coinbase referral program work?

" Referral bonuses are only paid if the person you referred verifies their account and buys $100 of bitcoin or more. The buy has to complete (meaning the bitcoin is delivered). Buys can take up to four business days to complete. The amount can be a cumulative $100 (it can happen over multiple purchases). The payout will typically arrive about 10 minutes after this. "

I don't think that could be reported as a scam since he just "forgot" to add "little" details

Is it the bitcoinaliens as in the one for mobile app?
I think it's not playable anymore? I've been searching it on google play and can't find it anywhere.
And IIRC, even their site said that bitcoinalien is no longer downloadable..

Yes it is the same mobile app. Also they have a web faucet  As far as I know the mobile app still works. Some of my friends still uses it but I don't have any latest news from it.

I use one of his app, actually. The one called "free bitcoin", it still works perfectly and i never got any message.. So the problem only occur on bitcoinalien app?

No the problem occur when they start spamming your email with false advertisement sayig you could won a million satoshi and all. Some email says you can get free satoshi if you click or subscribe in their news email but it's all fraud. Daniel is a one big liar. Also thier faucet is not the biggest one.

I talk about the IOS app Bitcoin aliens where the boss fight always show the same no internet connection error. Most of time I get that error. Also the apps free Bitcoin and Abundance are from this owner the points get lesser when you earn to much points.

Have tried to reply on the email but can't send him email. Also posted on Facebook Page message is removed and I am blocked to post anything on his page.

Even got a message in mine mailbox where someone tried to change the Bitcoin address and never did that by mine own.

The website http://www.weekendbitcoin.com/ is also from this owner and promise double Satoshi the weekend. Never have any double Satoshi.

I have the same issue on my android phone. It's not only you and I bet there are a lot more people who is in the same situation. What do we expect from a faucet? It's giving people some free satoshi so we can't bitch out on how the points decreases. That's just how thry programmed the apps and faucets to avoid them from losing their profit.

The app is buggy, they are not honest, let's get over it.

i tried their aps for about 2-3days and i notice that the bitcoin aliens app changes levels everytime you are able to play the boss mode and each levels/monster have different payment amount. as for the weekendbitcoin aps i didnt notice the weekend double event however i doubt they will give such thing

The motherfucking scammer deleted my messages on his Facebook page, including one I wrote in Portuguese helping a guy who didn't know how to withdraw. He also disabled my accounts on the Alien faucet and the Weekend Bitcoin faucet.

All I know from my android experience is that if I use both freebitcoin and abundance, I'll get lesser "get another reward" button. Means I could roll lesser than how I supposedly able to. Does anybody experiencing this too?
And for the web, I've left it for good since i think it didn't worth my time.

Also same here. As I thought, the app must be programmed to lessen the prize reward for every claim so the more you claim the lesser the prize will get .

And I thought I was doing something wrong! I even verified a credit card and my bank account with them. Maybe we should let Coinbase know about this, I don't think they would allow it.

And I thought I was doing something wrong! I even verified a credit card and my bank account with them. Maybe we should let Coinbase know about this, I don't think they would allow it.

I created a support ticket and explained the whole situation to them. The ticket was answered today, so Coinbase is now aware of the scam. If you opened an account using the scammer's affiliate link, I suggest that you CLOSE THAT ACCOUNT (that option is under Settings > Security), then clear your browser's cookies and open another account if you intend on keeping using Coinbase.
