Nice article jdebunt. I used to enjoy reading your reddit submissions but don't see you around as much anymore.

Wowsers! Thanks a lot JP! In turn we've re-posted this to our facebook page

This week we came out of Beta. We still have a long way to go, but we have..

Doubled the payout - to 20 satoshi on every claim. This is currently every 1 minute. And yes, I know it's still low - but again, the point isn't to be a high paying faucet, it is to be a book reading website with a bitcoin element. It's likely we will increase the timer - so you only claim every 5 minutes (but larger amount) in the future though.

We also now have 20+ books online - a real mini library now of some really classic, world famous and popular books - Here's a few:

Frankenstein by Mary Shelly
The War of The Worlds
Little Women by Lousisa May Alcott
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill * A personal development / business classic.

And of course, The Bitcoin White Paper by Satoshi Nakamoto.

Theres much more to come on PaidBooks including:

- Most popular widgets
- Full Author Bios
- A service to add YOUR books, or books of new aspiring authors - and hopefully established authors too in the future
- And of course 100s more books over the next couple of months!

Again - not trying to be the highest paying faucet in the world here, trying to spread bitcoin outside of this little faucet niche, and also just provide a service and a cool use of bitcoin

And of course,

20 satoshi per page with once min time + captcha is not good....
i readed one page 2 days ago then leaved

Good, this is exactly what I want, now dont get me wrong, theres nothing wrong with grinding out some free bitcoin from top paying sites, but this isnt that.

There's plenty of those.

If we have a book you want to read, then don't pay $5 for it. Read it with us, and GET PAID to do so - you're then up $5+ It's also just a way to introduce bitcoin to a wider audience.

i am  also problem with captcha that is not loading properly on side every time click on it that stuck on loading so make it fix there.

[Hueristic]

For some reason the captcha does not appear and I get wrong captcha error when clicking continue.


BTW, Still have all John Carters from when I was a kid. Love those. Movie was such a let down.

1/10th of a penny per hour, while entering 60 captchas? 

After 1,000 hours of reading (and 60,000 captchas), you will have $1.  I think you will need to spend more than that just to keep breathing...

Good concept, but not anywhere near reality yet.

Well I agree it does have kinks and low payout it seems like something that might actually have a purpose. God knows we have enough crappy faucets and idiotic ponzi games out there. In time we can hope payout increases if there is higher interest.

We're still only really in beta testing, only have around 3 real length books online and 10 short stories. The payout will definitely increase with a "real launch.. when we have more books and a few other tweaks:

- Most popular widget.
- New this week widget.
- Author Bios page.
- A few other bug tweaks.

However, the intention is not to make this a "high paying faucet" - there's plenty of those - but a vision so far for the site is that we can pay $1 per book read (on average) - so you read a whole book, and it adds up to around $1 - so instead of paying $7 to buy a book, if we have it, then you can read it on our site and get paid $1 - a difference of $8 in your pocket (sorta).

Anyway, I hope we can increase the payout in another 5-7 days time - and hopefully we will have 10-20 real length books online by then.

I agree with others that the payout is painful. You'd be better off paying 0 than to pay almost nothing, I think.

That said, you should try to team up with other businesses to get funding, and make a win-win situation. I can already think of multiple pages of who I'd team up with for this.

This is good site for reading a book(especially for killing time in boring mode). Although the payment rate is low, maybe use a few worth ads on the site and then rise the rate it will attract more people to visit not the site.

[Hueristic]

I have found my ip blocker has been blocking some of the servers and that is why the captcha was not working. Can you post a IP list so I can whitelist them all.

Also waiting 10 minutes to turn a page is far to long. Maybe set the payout on the time not on the pages? I read pretty damn quick.

[micromen]

I read books and turn pages after 10 minutes but I never get a bigger balance

Twenty satoshis cannot even appear on the blockchain.  So, this is like an account you keep until you have enough for a transaction fee.  Then maybe you can send a tiny dust amount that you cannot even use because it is too small for a transaction fee.

Try paying in Bitcoin test as this is a testing phase of the website.  Ask users to give the test bitcoins back (as they are for testing anyway).  After reading about 600 pages and a user should be able to get thousands of spendable satoshis. 

Consider a lottery system where instead of paying the user 20 satoshis, the user gets a one in five million chance of earning one bitcoin.  This is the same mathematical expectation of paying 20 satoshis.

Try this out with test bitcoins first.  Post your test bitcoin address here, and PM me, I'll send you some.  I should get rid of them because I have lost my enthusiasm building this software I was working on.

Hello Ann!,
This is a really exciting turn of events and I can't wait! A quick question - where do I click to earn satoshi, and how do I know how much I 've earned? I've been waiting for something like this but a little more explanation is needed to make it a success.
Also, since you are in Bitcoin Aliens, can you please help me?I 've been trying for weeks to get paid from Daily Doge, Incentive Wall and Alien Faucet (the one where you kill aliens).
The email confirmation click doesn't seem to work and nobody answers my messages. I think it's a technical problem of some kind but I can't get any help from anybody. My email is vkelly91@gmail.com and by BTC wallet address, where I want the bitcoins to go, is
1KKYfSgeASSGSp5TQPXNy5VAHvibSft7Rj. Please be an angel and help me to solve this problem. I know it has nothing to do with the questions on this forum, but I am really desperate.
And I really do want to get into Paid Books as well.I hope to hear from you ASAP.
Thank you very much,
Valhalla (Victoria Kelly)

You could try cutting and pasting the confirmation link if clicking it doesn't work. But I wouldn't be too hopefull as the Bitcoin Alien group of faucets is widely reported as being a scam. They used to be good until early 2016 then they stopped paying.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=853374.580 Start reading around page 28.

Also, I'm not sure if listing your real name, email address, usernames, BTC addresses etc all in one post on a public forum is a good idea. There are a lot of shady characters here that might want to play around with it.

Good luck with your payment!

I read past page 28. All recent pages (not from 2016) show that it IS paying. So I'd trust current posts over those from 8+ months ago any day.

I think you should make an android app for the googleplay store so people who use their tablets as a book can read and earn some bitcoins st the same time. I k ow the website you can use but it would be nicer if you had a highly optimized version especially made for tablets.
