Alright, after using this for a couple days, I really like this site. I've watched many many videos and had very few "no payment" for views.
Some suggestions:
1. allow user definable threshold for payment. Maybe I want to be paid every 5000 uBTC, or every 10000 uBTC. Someone else may want to get paid every 2000 uBTC.
2. allow for referral bonuses.
3. put a few small text ads on your site, help to maintain your nice payout amounts.
Overall, I rate this as best in it's class (pay to watch video/webpage).
Thanks for a great job and I hope you continue to improve!!!
Thanks for your suggestions. The referral bonuses are on my list, and I might need to do ads eventually to, as you said, keep the payout amounts sustainable. I was planning on paying out more frequently (every hour) regardless of how much you have. Thoughts on that? Regarding paying every hour: Pros - Clients know when they will get paid - Easy for you to setup. Cons - Potentially higher transaction fees - May confuse new users who watch a video, get paid immediately (watched video right before payout time), but watch another video and don't see a payment (for another hour) With my idea of users decide when they get paid based on total earned: Pros - Clients know when they will get paid - Potentially much lower transaction fees Cons - More difficult to setup - May confuse new users on how the system works The third option is a combination of both. Maybe the script gets run automatically 3 times a day? But only pays out if the user is over their threshold? |

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

With my idea of users decide when they get paid based on total earned:
Pros - Clients know when they will get paid

- May confuse new users on how the system works
The third option is a combination of both. Maybe the script gets run automatically 3 times a day? But only pays out if the user is over their threshold?
Letting users decide when to get paid might actually increase transaction fees if users are cashing out often, unless I put a minimum cashout amount. So far I haven't heard too many complaints with the payout schedule, so I think we're not too far away from where we need to be. |

Please note that bitcoins are awarded after watching a video to completion. If you did finish the video, it is possible that your browser settings or extensions are preventing your activity from being tracked properly. Please try again with a different browser or with private browsing mode enabled. We apologize for the inconvenience caused. Watched on firefox, scripting enabled, private browsing session, cookies enabled, tried twice, waste of time. |

Watched on firefox, scripting enabled, private browsing session, cookies enabled, tried twice, waste of time. I can say that although there has been a couple of hick-ups, ie. script error 1 time, and a few times not getting credit for watching a video, the site has been excellent for me. It's my #1 goto site. Total Paid: 30000 µBTC Total Pending: 0 µBTC So far, in about 3 days (and I was sick for 2 days and not on the computer as much as normal), the site has sent me 0.03 BTC. More coin than I have earned any other way, except by mining. I've tried the sites that claim to pay you for "installing software" and I got paid 1 time for that. The others I submitted a ticket and they wanted a screenshot from the website confirming that I downloaded and installed said software. 1. Why would I have thought of doing that 2. The website never shows you a confirmation I hope you (and others) will give the site a chance, as I really do want to see it succeed. |

I too have tried the site and found it didn't credit anything after watching the videos (I watched all of them individually, and even went back to the site an hour later). For now you're better off doing other things for free bitcoins until it is fixed.

why do i get the feeling this site pays out selectively?
i don't see why private browsing, incognito mode, or any of these things should make a difference.
if you ask me it's a ploy to get people to try it out by watching a few videos, then they give some of these "free views" and pay it out selectively, and keep the rest.

Please publish the browser settings required to properly track my activity. Not changing the browser nor private browsing helps me. Sometimes correct capcha is not accepted.

There are a few factors going on here. First, browser settings/cookies and extensions (especially ad blockers) installed can definitely affect the tracking of your view, since they manipulate how the webpage is rendered. Private browsing helps you achieve a "clean" browser state, but if you have certain extensions installed/enabled, that still might not help you. I've also heard reports of users connected via a proxy server/VPN, and not getting credited. As soon as they were connected directly to the internet, it worked. Basically, anything that prevents the advertiser from tracking your view results in no one getting credited with anything. |

Do you have any extensions installed? Are you connected via proxy server? |

If you dont do this - you are scammers. Other sites with free bitcoins dosent require any special (and not known) browser settings while your site announce free bitcoins which users cannot get.

Many users have been credited and paid out without any issues. However, I do understand that there are some users having trouble. This is due to our inability to track the view for reasons I've stated before. We've done extensive testing over the past week and have a pretty good idea what kind of browser, system, and network configurations are best for successfully getting credited. I will be publishing a guide with full details soon. Stay tuned! |

I have published an FAQ that includes tips and instructions on how to get your offers property tracked and credited. For those having trouble getting credited, hopefully this will be a help. Let me know how it goes! http://www.bitcoinget.com/page/faq |

The BitcoinGet.com site works quite well for me. The interface is quite clean and it doesn't leave me with any doubt about if I got credit for a video and what I should expect to show up in my wallet. There are not many bitcoin earning sites that I go back to regularly, but for now, this is on my rather short list. Keep up the good work.

Glad you like it. I just a made a small tweak that I think makes the experience even easier. Your bitcoin address is now saved in a cookie, so next time you come back, you don't have to keep entering your bitcoin address. You can get right to earning bitcoins! |

New system, fresh browser installation, accepts all cookies, no adblocking, no proxy - your site still fails to work  It even cannot load list of offers - says "Loading offers..." |
