Just head over to: http://www.bitcoinget.comOur goal was to create the easiest possible experience to get free bitcoins. You just enter your bitcoin address and start earning! We have plans to add more features and other ways to get bitcoins soon, but we would love you hear your feedback first! |

Hi, normally I don't do these, but I'll give it a go for you. Edit: Not sure if you noticed or not, but 2 of the 4 videos you have are 4 minutes long. Way to long for not enough payment. P.S. to fellow users, you cant watch all the videos at one time  |

Most of the time, you don't need to watch the entire video for our advertisers to credit. We looked at the other sites, and think we offer a pretty competitive reward... but what the heck, as a grand opening promotion, we went ahead DOUBLED the rewards! |

The two minute videos but not the 4, and to check to see if you completed you have to leave the video page so if you don't get the credit, you have to re-watch it. |

Perhaps I'll check it out again in the future if you get the bugs worked out.
As the site's barely seen the light of day, there could very well be bugs that need to be ironed out. Thanks for testing! Can you provide me with the Bitcoin address you used? I'll see if I can track down any issues in the database. For your help, I'll also throw some coin at you |

Tried it. Received the credit for the first video that I watched. Every video that I've tried to watch after that (after watching the video all the way to the end), I keep getting the following message:  Tried 3 times, wasted nearly 10 minutes for nothing. No thanks. Perhaps I'll check it out again in the future if you get the bugs worked out. Yup, same here. Perhaps one not only has to let the video run all the way through but also make sure that it has focus? One can't switch to a new tab or minimize the browser etc.? /edit Okay I tried watching a video all the way through and didn't change focus or do anything else and still didn't get credit. |

Btw, the easiest possible experience would be to give free Bitcoin without requiring users to do anything except inputting their BTC address... just saying...  |

I just tried watching a video the window out of focus and got credit for it, so something else must be going on. If you can answer some questions for me that would be extremely helpful: 1. What was the bitcoin address that you used? 2. What browser were you using? 3. Were you on a computer/tablet/phone? |

I had the problem with watching a full video through but the website saying that I needed to watch the video through all the way (even though I had)
For debugging the address I used was
12nvKgiUhxFsqsxEWQoB9NraQBaqh4r4ej on the newest firefox on an desktop running Ubuntu.

Just got this oddity after entering the captcha. I had forgotten it and let the system idle for probably an hour between finishing the video and entering the captcha, though, so it might have expired or something. Still shouldn't give a message this bizarre.  |

Do you happen to have the autopager chrome extension installed? I've seen weird stuff like this happen before with certain extensions enabled. Firefox 18.0.2 on Windows 7 64 bit.
I just reinstalled a fresh copy of firefox and still could not reproduce. I am also on Windows 7 64 bit. Similar question for you: do you have any firefox extensions installed worth noting? It is feasible for some extensions that mess around with the DOM to cause the video plugin from not reporting correctly. I looked inside the database, and there definitely are people getting rewarded for views. Thanks to everyone for all the feedback! Please keep it coming. |

Looks like it timed out trying to connect to the advertiser's api. I fixed it now so that the error is handled more gracefully. You should still have been credited for the last video watched. |

I found that I get that error whenever I watch the last video in the queue. I think you need to handle the case when there are no videos sent in the container from the API. The failure page does look better though |

Make sure you get a new verification code (captcha) if it has sat for a few minutes, I was getting the same error until I started getting a new code before entering it. Hope this helps. |

That case wasn't getting handled gracefully, but now it is!

I'll look into this next. |
