[ANN] Weekend Bitcoin - The World's Highest Paying Faucet

[foxkyu]

ahh, so faucet reward is only 1k satoshi not 10k satoshi
that's too bad for me

[Quartx]

I have issues sometimes receiving the confirmation emails. Is this a necessary action? I don't mind having my bitcoin accumulate on the site until a higher amount. No rush here.

Just confirm your email once a week.

But it would be nice something like weekly automated payouts once email is confirmed, I don't see the need for repeated email confirmations.

We are working on this feature - a forever trusted after 2-3 confirms or something like this.

Ok, this weekend is live but there are changes at Weekend Bitcoin - last weeks 10,000 claims ran out in just 1 hour... it's a shame but I don't have infinite money, and basically 99% of people didnt get the "weekend special claim" as we've grown a lot.

So now we are doing things differently - just trialing now to see what you think and if you like this.. other ideas could be possible, but now it is:

Midweek: 1000 satoshi hourly claims with a 1% chance of hitting a 10,000 satoshi jackpot.

Weekend: STILL 1000 satoshi hourly claims with a 10% chance of hitting at 10,000 satoshi jackpot

Hope this is interesting to you, we will trial this now - it is the weekend so this is live NOW... whatever the case we are committed to paying out more bitcoin on average than anyone else and our 2 faucets do this.

Sad that it is now a 10% chance of 10000 instead of early birds

I think I got 10000 satoshis today. Must be the first time I made it on time to the party. Feels good, thank you!

Yes we are sad to see it go too, but we've just out-grown it in terms of active users, but still the revenue/earnings for the site is similar - now it runs out in an hour or less, so just time to find a new formula.. but we are still the highest in the world average claims even at "only" 1000 satoshi

why are the past two days captchas so difficult? it takes me ages to put the right one  

[syamster]

Each and everytime when the weekend comes, I getting error messages on browser when I try to reach weekendbitcoin, I think there will be huge rush on weekends, because lots of satoshi...

BitcoinAliens / WeekendBitcoin do not control the capTcha's.

There was some discussion about this a page or two back, and the general feeling is that if you do a large number of capTcha's in a short time period the the capTcha company (SolveMedia) may make them harder to read, finally becoming impossible. Sounds crazy, but originally these systems were designed for e.g. buying tickets and like that where once per day is more usual.

Your best bet might be:-
1. to take some time out, especially from any other faucets.
2. report the unreadable capTcha's using the Help  [ ? ] button.

Hope that helps.

The same message I am getting every weekends "This web page is not available".  All other days site working perfectly, only weekend...lol

[soloasi]

well, for me it takes many mistakes to get the right one  , for example one of my tries:



any way to get them easier? not just to "refresh" 

[john blue]

i wont think it is high enought

[syamster]

soloasi, thats very hard captcha to solve, i think now a days its better to do captcha solving instead of faucet, but faucet can't do anything for this, all the captchas are served by solvemedia...

I think you may need to contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) but first you can confirm that weekendbitcoin is truly OK by going to http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/weekendbitcoin.com and seeing what it reports.

Sorry I can't be of more help on this one. Good Luck!

Used the faucet already several times.
The 10000 sat in the beginning was of course very great.
Now 1000 (and 10 % chance for 10000 sat) is not bad as well.
I'm a fan.

Yeuccchhhh!!!!! Yes, I have seen those in the past, but usually only when I have spent an hour or two surfing lots of faucets.

You say you are "refreshing". Do you mean refreshing the Page? That may be causing problems.

Just now (ugh zimagez is playing games )


See those three grey boxes in the bottom right corner? If you hold your mouse pointer steady over them, a tooltip will popup telling you briefly what each one does. (Sorry if it sounds like I'm taking down at you - just making sure I cover all the bases).
The first one (circular arrow) gets you a new image. The next one "speaks" a capTcha (never had much luck with that one!)
The third one [ ? ] gets you the help screen. Click that one and then click the big blue  [ Report a Problem ] button.

I have found that sometimes, mention that you need to solve many capTchas, they clear your "block" within a few hours.

No guarantees, but I hope that helps.

hi syamster, what do you mean when you say "....its better to do captcha solving instead of faucet..."?.

hi mart2000, when i say refresh i mean to ask for another captcha with the curved arrow in the captcha zone.

CAPTCHAS - Please guys can you just read the previous page, or even the previous messages just a few messages before rather than reposting. I don't control the difficulty - they appear like this if you have entered a lot of captchas in a short space of time.. so just come back later.

@bitcoinaliens If I can make a suggestion? I believe that on this forum you can go back and edit your original post. If you could put up a numbered FAQ hosted somewhere that answers these questions, and then link to them from the first post, it might just help. (Be careful of SM's terms, I just read them (I now have a headache!) and helping people *too* much could be an issue for SM). The numbering is so that those of us trying to help others can just type, "please read FAQ #99" or like that.

In a forum you will always get some people who just assume that everybody is here for their benefit and just ask instead of doing a little own research. It's a "cost of doing business" ;-)  I see it as no publicity is bad publicity. What if this topic vanished off the front page of the forum? (not likely but you see what I mean?)

Another common "habit" of new users is to read the first post and then hit "Reply" - often they don't even realise that their question has been answered a gazillion times before.

Daniel, I think you are doing a quite incredible job (ahem [cough] except for my occasional pleas re: my coinad account mart2013 ) So I am more than happy to do my best in helping the new users in to the weird and wacky world of bitcoin and the weirder and wackier, but highly profitable world of Planet Uruk

Your Mileage May Vary (YMMV)
Mart.

Glad that weekend bitcoin found a new working system. I have not receive my email. I checked spam folder and it is not there. My email is wasefd2@live.com.

No luck on scoring the 10k all weekend

Dont worry, you will get the jackpot soon. I just got my 10,000 Satoshi!

You might (possibly) be being flagged by the provider of the captchas. Sometimes depending on your IP they may give you harder captchas to solve. Perhaps they think you operating behind a proxy? Could be anything.
