Just updated the Dustbinhead faucet to a weighted system with up to 1,000 satoshi every 30 mins.

PLEASE let me know if there are any problems, as I'm kinda assuming it works based on a couple of quick tests.

I know it would be more work, but I'd keep different coins in different threads. It would get terribly confusing otherwise... not to mention a VERY long list!

Yeah, the site works fine (and is very nice) - I can just never get any kind of response to my emails.

I have the same problem with Land of Bitcoin: no one ever answer emails.

I don't use it, but this is probably a direct result of the conversation between myself and "vola" on DP here: https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/bitcoin-crypto-currency.2699052 (starting from my comment near the middle of page 2).

S/he is either a rabid supporter of the site or runs it, at a guess, and is desperate to prove that it's worthwhile and pays. As I said in that thread, I really don't care (I don't use it - not my style of earning at all), but vola gets abusive as soon as the site's reliability is questioned.

Draw what conclusions you may. Extra info is always useful.

Avast! reports malicious content.

For more money, you'll have to do more work. And for that, you'll need to find people who will pay in BTC, which is still quite rare.

Given BTC's history as a black market currency and the difficulties it faces in being accepted as a legitimate currency by payment processors (and the total lack of consumer protection), proper earning sites are still rare. It's gone into the "next big thing" stage, with all the newspapers and popular sites trying to fit the word "bitcoin" into any article they can... so all the asshole marketers, scammers and idiots are jumping on the bandwagon and doing their best to destroy everything BTC has so far achieved.

That's the thing with faucets: they're free and legitimate (provided they use a micro-payment system or prove their worth). People (not you) complain that they only give out fractions of a cent, but then I don't see those people standing on the street, handing out cash for filling in Captchas.

And the more so for all the BS claims of being able to earn piles and piles of BTC regularly, then running a points system instead of direct earnings. Looks VERY much like the standard scam PTC setup - promise the earth, give people dirt.

Aaargh. Stupid annoying WP theme update deleted the Microwallet.php file.

Fixed (and checked), and thanks for letting me know!

I've had occasional problems with the Solve Media captchas - it's usually when my connection goes on the fritz, though, and not the captcha itself.


I get that every single time I try to post anything - the cookies/timers here are really messed up. As best I can tell, it detects your last click, so you have to wait 6 mins between hitting "reply" and posting. Or something. 

Also got some stats on Dustbinhead faucet (at last!), and have doubled rewards (now up to 30 satoshis per hit, every 30 mins). See, told you I would. 

http://freebitcoin.su/ (on LoB rotation) coming up with "insufficient funds" today.

Most of them (if not all) use the site they're listed on (bitchest.me). I hammered them for a day until I hit the payout amount and the site sent it a few hours later. Appears to be legit as a micro-transaction wallet (at least for the moment...!).

I know. That was a "Hey, does someone want to check out the ones on that list?" instead of copy/pasting 11 URLs into one post. But if you insist:

The wallet pays out, by the way. Verified overnight. The "suspicious link" is a .ws domain.

Stumbled across http://bitchest.me yesterday: a very pretty micropayment setup which has a list of 11 faucets in the bottom corner.

Zen is back to giving satoshis. Just checked @ 10:30 GMT (ish).

It's random: you get 1,5, or 15 per visit.

The faucet's only been running for a few days, so I have no reliable stats on anything yet: when I do, I hope to be able to up the satoshis to something more impressive.

That one's saying "Get 0 satoshis" when I visit it today. Empty?

Dustbinhead should be running fine now, apologies for the burp in service. One of the guys who has a site on my VPS managed to blow up the nameserver... rewards upped from 1,3,5 every 20 mins to 1,5,15 every 30. Should go higher once I get some reliable figures on sustainability, but I don't want to do that until I'm sure it can keep running. I don't like being a fly-by-night option!

Updated so that it doesn't break frames. Got rid of the annoying picky advertiser. 

Look back at Visa/Mastercard and so on. Remember the days when it was all swipes with paper records, sent to processing centres and typed in by people? As acceptance spread and the tech got better, the service got better. Now we've reached the "instant cash" point where everyone uses cards instead of paper money. And it's headed towards not even having cards.

Bitcoin's new. Of course it's got problems. But the desire to have a worldwide currency that isn't based on gold reserves or held by some fat cat in a bank who could decide to lose it all for you is very strong... give it time and it'll get better and faster. The wider it's accepted, the quicker that will happen.

I was just wondering... what happens to all those bitcoins that are in passworded wallets, where people have lost their password? Are they just *gone*?
