About selling. We are in bad spot: we reviewed our position with our tax accountant and as a registered company in Italy we would have a few troubles to declare the selling as income, especially as a Bitcoin transaction. Therefore, sadly we would not sell Paytoshi.

very sad and sorry for you.. when a country break a good company for stupid issues like 'declaration of tax', is a lost opportunity for all
italy is shit (i'm italian) for young and hitech companies
Bitcoin is not regulated in Italy, so it would cost a lot the seller & the government to figure out what's the worth of the site.

Italy does not regulate bitcoin use by private individuals.

It's not government's fault, it's people's fault not keeping books and records of all their stuff.
Even if they did, due to price volatility they wouldn't be able to figure it out, I believe.

Paytoshi: Micropayments & Faucets
December 07, 2016, 06:29:09 AM
Hello everyone,

we would like to remind you that we will stop operations in a week.

On December 14th at 10 AM GMT we would not accept any new microtransaction. As a user, please reach your payout threshold before that moment if you would like to be paid.
As a faucet owner you would have time till December 16th at 10 AM GMT to transfer your funds via your private area.

Shortly after we will issue our last general payment for those addresses that will be above threshold. Any fund not transferred after that payment will be implicitly lost.

We thank you for your understanding,
Cheers

FaucetBox -  Ends their days in Janauary 2017
Paytoshi - Ends their days in December 2016

However, I kinda liked the overview at Paytoshi, and sad to see they also go. I can't understand it's not profitable.

Now when that said; Faucet owners and faucet users should go over to Xapo. I don't think they would mind be the only one on the market for faucets.

FaucetHub.io is launching soon: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1672870.0;topicseen

Additionally, Xapo is great, but does not appeal to the masses, as there are a TON of restrictions for a lot of regions. They ask for too much information and verification when you sign up for their service.

FacuetHub will be the next big FaucetBox. Go with them Smiley

Why? They are not only one. Faucet owners can use Epay.info too. Or they can wait for mexicantarget to finish his work on faucethub and use his micro payment system, and i must say from what i have seen it is looking very good.




True. Forgot about Epay. Havent been there for over half a year as it was a mess in my eyes. But now looks much better. I have to take a look at faucethub, thanks for letting me know:)

Hello everyone,

Paytoshi started as a pet project in autumn 2014 and launched in december 2014. It was born in what appeared to be a profitable bubble left by Microwallet. In little less than two years we handled ~33 millions microtransactions exchanging ~85BTC. We always were runner-up in this market segment, but we are proud still of our continuous operations.

Paytoshi was never profitable because our transaction volume was just too low, but we loved cryptocurrencies and we decided to keep the project running nonetheless. We poured great effort to make a secure and reliable architecture and a good faucet script. We actively developed and honed our systems till this summer, when our company shifted focus on other projects.

We planned to make an announcement in a few days, but FaucetBox was always too fast for us: it launched a few weeks before us, gained more traction at the beginning, decided to close down sooner... Wink
So here's our announcement: Paytoshi stops operations on 14th December. If you want to get paid, please reach your payable threshold before that date. If you are a faucet owner you can transfer your deposits to an address.

It seems a good moment to be in our place: we can be the market leader for the first time with few or not competitors at all, but honestly we are not ready to start investing again on Paytoshi. We are not against selling Paytoshi to interested parties, but we wont close out just because we dont need it.

Thanks to all our users, it's been a pleasant ride!
Cheers

What a sad day.

Your support was always excellent. Sorry for not generating more income for you.

Good luck in all future endeavors!

Bitcoin faucets are the first way for many people to get their first bitcoins and learn about the transactions system etc..


That was the case for me. Started with interest in OpenBazaar then in testing there was a test coin faucet, so I found all the rest. First bitcoin transaction was a revelation, no going back after that, stupid banker currencies must die!
