man this rant is way more popular than mine! hehe BitCoinBarter , nobody wants to listen to reason here!
I noticed someone in the other thread mentioned this, but that word "Scam" does get abused here a lot, and without even the site here to defend itself, even with the competition of Bitp.it coming in, saying that the technology isn't all there and it is inefficient,  and I think EVERYONE agrees that BitcoinPlus could use a site redesign and update or two with a F.A.Q. or so.  

For now two different threads, multiple attacks on BitcoinPlus, 0 defense from them, we are only seeing one side of this argument, and yet "nobody wants to listen to reason" ?   I think "nobody wants to admit that this isn't the best site, but scam is not the word for it", except in this case, nobody is most everybody.


I just wanted to have the owner clarify stuff, so everyone should just chilax a bit. Anyhow in my thread i clearly stated that in my humble opinion it was a scam. So i don't know what kind of agenda you nurture by defending that site so much (maybe you just like java mining a lot), or when it became unacceptable to have your own opinion. And BCPs problem is not with the technology, its a problem with the business model and policies that are made to retain your winnings for way too long and cut them by a large margin and are not communicated to the user. Believe me, if they stated that i takes two weeks to get only 0.01 btc they would have few customers, but at least they wouldn't be all pissed off.

Finally the fact that the owner has not responded, means he either doesn't care, or he is not a member of the community. Either case is bad.

ps. not to sound like a dick, but i wouldn't advertise a site in my signature unless it was at a decent functioning level. It needs some better design and it also crashed safari on my hackintosh. This creates some bad publicity that usually never goes away. Just send invites to friends for the testing.
