I just did some research into this and found mention of users on other sites not getting credited by the same advertising company (Virool). A common workaround seems to be to either switch to another browser, or to use private browsing/incognito mode. I probably won't hear back from this company until business hours on Monday earliest. In the meantime, I think I will prepare to look for another advertiser.

i only ever use incognito mode, so that wasn't the issue for me

HI!
I also tried the site, and also got the same error. Tried various browsers, incognito mode, but it didnt help.
What really helped was using a different (US) IP.
( Should not list videos that doesnt pay-off for ip-specific country)

So that's why Cointube and free.btc.pt doesn't pay either?

So that's why Cointube and free.btc.pt doesn't pay either? I believe they also use Virool to provide videos, so I guess we're on the same boat. I'll be speaking with Virool soon to see if there's any way to get more consistent results. In the meantime, I'll be searching for another provider, and also plan to provide my own down the line

Some video campaigns are pulled out while users watch videos, so they are not rewarded for a view on a campaign which doesn't exist. But that happens maybe once in 10 videos, it's not like you watch 1 video and doesn't credit the others, like happens here. Enough thread crapping from me. And karlzt, I have my own thread. If you have any complaints I'll appreciate it if you post there.

Ok, my question is that on the main page it states: You are immediately paid bitcoins for every video that you watch. Bitcoins go straight to your wallet. No more waiting for checks or bank transfers. Oh, and also, there is no minimum payout.
Yet my account page states: Total Paid: 0 µBTC Total Pending: 8500 µBTC @ 250 uBTC per video that is 34 videos. @ about 3 minutes each.. 1.7 hrs of watching videos. So which is it, do I get paid "immediately" or does it get processed in batches, and if so, how often? Will you update your main page to reflect reality?

Payments do get batched in order to save on transactions fees. Right now I'm manually paying out several times a day, but once there's enough traffic to the site, I hope to have payments automatically sent out every hour or less. And now, it's that time! You should see bitcoins in your wallet in a few minutes

At least state "transactions happen at least once a day" or something like that.

I have watched several of the videos on here today. I didn't really receive many false 'You did not watch the whole video' messages. However, I have to agree with the others that there is too much variation in the amount of time required for the same payout with different videos. A twelve minute video should hopefully pay more than a 30s teaser, but it doesn't.
If the payout can't be weighted based on time, it would be nice to see how long the video is prior to clicking on the description on the offerwall.

Alright, tried the website for couple of videos. First of all, nice done on the website! I love that it doesn't need any registration, just the address and off you go. I think you should really edit that Bootstrap theme... Gets kinda irritating to see it everywhere, non-edited I use BootTheme for editing the style of Bootstrap. The changes don't need to be big, just change some colors or something. The payouts for videos didn't seem to work at all. I tried 2x of one video and 1x of one video. No dice, got the error message every time. Using latest Chrome. My guess is that there is some bug with the Virool script, I checked the Network stats and it looks it doesn't report when the playback has ended. Just my guess though, I have no clue who Virool works. Good luck with your site, you are off to a good start!

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. Don't believe so. I haven't seen the error again, but then, I also haven't finished a video and then let it sit for a couple hours before entering the captcha. Haven't had any other glitches.

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?

I use Chrome and the site worked well for me. My pending total was properly credit and now just waiting to get paid so I can finally get the Kidney transplant. Yeah, the Thai video is 4 minutes of my life I won't get back. Toyota needs new ad people as it seems lacking in substance.

This website actually pays really well compared to other sites like it (cointube, bitvisitor, etc). A+
