We are not trying to lie or mislead - we do have to change the payouts with market rate or with profit/earnings/ads revenue, In the past it was 4100 an hour, then we dropped it to around 2600 or so, but NOW it is OVER - it is 4,482 an hour - which is OVER the "advertised" rate made when we started this forum thread.
And yes, this is the "no shitting, no sleeping max rate".. although it is possible even for humans to stay awake for one whole hour. So the likely rate if you get like 90% of them rather than claiming on the dot is maybe 3600 an hour (?) - Again, probably 3-4x higher than any other faucet.
Yup. In my experience, since Bitcoin Aliens family faucets launched. They are the best paying, most reliable, most honest of all faucets out there. @bitcoinaliens: So the problems seem to be:-
1) That People assume the old rates are still correct.
2) They misunderstand what is meant by e.g 4,482 an hour.
3) They assume that everything on the Internet is a scam, especially when they have been "bitten" before by somebody else, when their computer is faulty, they had a row with their partner, their own dog bit them, their ISP is crap, they don't have sufficient language skills, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera...
4) They want your money, as much of it as they can get away with, without doing anything in return.
In reverse order:-
4) I call them thieves, cheats, lazy, stupid, bloodsuckers .... and some other things I'm not sure I can write here.
Takeaway: Put in the best security measures you can afford, as soon as you can afford them, or they will bleed you dry.3) 99% of everything offered on the Internet IS a scam. It is a very hard sell to persuade them that your company is different. I don't believe there is anything you can do to stop them hollering at you. I don't believe it is your job to help them with those other problems
Sometimes I think they just like complaining for it's own sake.
If they have not already been answered correctly by one of your regular supporters here, then Answer them briefly and politely and move on. Never, Ever, take it personally.
I may not always say exactly what, or everything, you would like to, but I do my best to help people here, even though I'm not paid for it. I don't get any special privileges, nor do I expect them. I believe in Bitcoin Aliens faucets and I'll do anything in my power to see your business survive for as long as possible. If I was as good at taking my own advice as I am at dishing it out, I would be building a downline. But that is only useful for as long as your business survives.
Takeaways: Don't waste time on detractors. Use "crowd support". Consider rewarding a few satoshis for exceptional help. Stay calm.2) To me "it is 4,282 an hour" means I *could* technically, earn exactly that amount if I clicked for one hour of Earth time. It is a "Headline". It does not (to me) mean that I can repeat that n times and get n * 4,282. To some it might. It does not take account of all the things that might prevent me getting that amount. I am NOT a lawyer, but based on nearly 55 years exposure to advertising, you might want to use "up to" and as you did above "max". I don't see how anybody can challenge a
reasonable, realistic claim preceded by "up to" and referring to a maximum. "Up to 4,282 satoshis per hour
*" or "Earn up to 4,282 satoshis per hour
*". Just don't go saying "earn up to a billion satoshi per minute (max)" That is neither reasonable nor realistic
Some will say it's a cop-out, but I don't believe that they can argue a legal case against you. You might want to check with an attorney / lawyer that what I'm saying here is valid in your jurisdiction. Advertising law is a minefield, that much I do know, and when you extend that internationally...
It would only take 50-100 people to get together and file suit against you and you could be out of business within days.
1) Old ads: Leaflets and Price lists I have seen, often put a superscript asterisk
* next to the number or price or at the end of the line, and say in small print at the bottom or on the back... example:-
blah blah
Best rates on the Internet up to 4200 satoshis per hour!
*blah blah and more blah...
*E&OE. Maximum rate for each hour. Correct at time of publication.You could put something like this in your forum signature:

(E&OE is "an abbreviation for Errors and Omissions Excepted: used to say that a price list, product description, or other document may contain mistakes or may not include some details".

Takaway: Use common methods to reduce legal exposure, and make clear what you are "selling".Bitcoinaliens, Posting at this forum makes you zero direct profit. If you
think, plan, execute you can cut your time here to minutes per week, and still get the indirect profit that comes from being a responsive, "visible" program(s) owner.
I hope that helps. If you'd prefer me to back off and leave you to it, just say so. Above all, if you ain't enjoying it, do something else.
Live long, be happy, and prosper
