I saw the link yesterday and made a referral but was wondering why the 10%
reward was not allocated to me, now I see its not ready yet.
Can the referrals from yesterday/today be allocated when the bugs are fixed ?

Yeah! Please private message me or email me at [email protected] with the username of your referral. I'll tally up what they've made and manually credit 10% of their earnings to your account. Referrals SHOULD be up and working officially tonight, potentially tomorrow.

You mean that if it asks me my age, sex, citizenship, caste, earnings per year, total household income; should I just give all these things (I mean real ones) to the company or should I fake it? I can understand that system keeps records of our replies and if we continuously change those replies for each survey we take, we may get banned/blocked by their services (I had been a user of SpeakAsia which proved the worst scam). But then, giving your real info leaves you unanomymous and possibilities are, some companies may also prove scam (not saying specifically for the one OP is promoting but in general) and our data could leave us in tragedy by having almost everything about us leaked to some companies where to whom these survey mediators sell it.

You definitely should share real information and your real opinions if you don't want to risk a ban. The information requested rarely will identify you. Over the past few months, I have seen a couple individual surveys ask for my personal email address or the name of the company I work for. If they do that, they will say why they need that information (for verification, etc.). You can report surveys for seeking extra personal information. One survey that paid $1 for only 2 minutes requested a selfie photo — they made it very clear that it was for a research, academic study, but I decided not to do it.

I guess my point: you should not lie about any demographic questions (race, country, age), but if a survey asks you something extra personal (which is very rare), you can leave and report the survey.

Yes, the surveys are usually limited in number (and time), it's not something decided by the owner but by the survey provider. And don't forget the survey is sent to many other sites as well, and can also be set to be sent as a xx per hour/day rate for example.
If you give bogus and inconsistent replies the system is smart enough to exclude you or to give you fewer surveys to take. It may seem obvious to some people, but it's important to answer honestly, otherwise, you won't stay long. ^^

Referrals should be coming tomorrow! You'll be able to earn 10% of the survey earnings of the people you refer. The tab is up right now, but we're working on fixing just a couple more bugs before it's totally ready to go (so don't refer anyone just yet with your referral link — please wait for an announcement here).

@LeGaulois yeah Im aware of the system.Im just shocked on how fast these surveys been filled out.Honestly ive been clicking or refreshing
almost 20 hours on a particular day - not that im desperate on earning some bucks but this is just out of my curiosity since being paid on doing surveys isn't always available on my country so that's why Ive been trying it.

That's some dedication! If you want, if you share your country (either here or in a private message), I can reach out to our survey provider to check if they have plans to expand surveys in your area in the coming month, or if the wait might be longer before surveys ramp up in your area.

Surveys seem to be more specific for more developing nations, meaning you'll be weeded out with a higher frequency than an American user would. I wish it wasn't that way, but it is :/. I'm probably weeded out of 20% of surveys after starting them, but I've seen users from locations like India weeded out of 80% of the surveys they try. They still get the partial reward each time, so at least that's something, but I wish we could deliver more. Also just as the months pass, surveys will be more plentiful.

Here's a list of the 53 available countries. If you aren't from one of these countries, you'll see a message on our site that says "Surveys are not available in your location," and since you have the 'no surveys available today" error, you will get more surveys if you check back! We also run Belacam.com, so that's why support for BTCsurveys.com links to Belacam's support. As BTCsurveys grows, we'll of course spin up a dedicated support site for it, separate from Belacam.

Going back to this thread once again to tell that I haven't still receive any surveys since I do post up to this thread.I do saw that my country is included to the list above.So I would like to ask if how long do these surveys replenish?I saw that even users below me 35- 51th currently doesn't able to earn a satoshi.Is this still working?

Well I can confirm that this is indeed working and I too thought that the
surveys were very scarse but since my last post here I gave gotten a few
surveys completed.

I suspect there are surveys quite regularly but not everyone would be a
match for all of them and I also think there may only be a certain amount
of slots available so first come first serve may apply, just my 2c!

Our end goal (and it might take a year or two to get there) is building out BTCsurveys to anyone can earn an hourly rate that is competitive to their own home country ... Plenty of work required to get there clearly, but that's the end goal.

It is an interesting project and hope you take it where you want it to be.
Not sure if some more profile data would help, like fields to enter country, age, sex, job title, industry, employment status etc in order to filter the surveys and to send them only to the users that would qualify for them based on those data. Maybe it's something to think about after reaching a certain critical mass of users.
All the best

I'm sorry to hear it didn't work, but I really appreciate the feedback you've given us so far. I'll make sure we dive deeper into the zip code issue on the development side. The 150 satoshis is given if you are screened out very early on — I've had "screen out" rewards as high as $1 before, it just depends on the total survey reward and the time you spent on the survey before being screened out.

Our end goal (and it might take a year or two to get there) is building out BTCsurveys to anyone can earn an hourly rate that is competitive to their own home country (i.e. American users consistently earn $10+, users in developing countries earn at least $2 - $5 per hour, etc.). Plenty of work required to get there clearly, but that's the end goal.

After testing it here are my thoughts:
- zip code is the only manual imput data that "tracks" user location and seems to only accept usa zip code
- could not take part in 75% of surveys because I did not fit in the wanted category based on the few calibration questions (work in multi national company, have some odd disease etc)
- there is nowhere to manually mention the country I am from and all surveys done so far were for USA (I don't have Target store, Walmart etc in my country) and perhaps not knowing what to pick I always got the smaller end of the stick. Survey paid 150 - 3500 sat and received 150 everytime.

I guess all fine if you are frim US but not so much for the other 52

Good Luck!

Zip codes are used to better locate a survey taker within his country. In this specific case, the user previously reported his country, but our system isn't taking his zip code. We use zip codes to better opt in to extra surveys. For example, a survey provider might first segment off all US survey takers and then look for one with a 200XX zip code to find users in Washington DC. I've had a survey from a local radio station, and that was delivered based off my zip code.

Since 12345 is a New York zip code but the user already reported being from another country, he wouldn't be shown New York targeted surveys. In this specific case, the zip code would be filler information and shouldn't affect any surveys shown to him. Further, the original zip code question in the onboarding survey is only used to show potential surveys to this user. If a specific survey cares about the zip code, they'll ask it again as we do not transmit zip code information from our site to the survey provider. Hopefully, their form should accept this user's real zip code in his country.

If that still doesn't work, just try "12345." Hopefully our system can still show surveys without a zip code that matches your country. In this case, 12345 would just be a filler zip code.

Does this mean your client is fine with it? I mean, it literally sounds like a 'fake' user details and will probably unreliable for some data that they're looking for, such as lifestyle, demography, etc.

After clicking on "get started" I can't pass question 3... zip code.
My country is on the list (not USA) but when I enter the zip code gives this error "We cannot locate that postal code. We have surveys available in United States so please enter a postal code near your location.". It only knows US zip codes ?
I use Opera browser with built-in VPN and currently on a European IP.
Any suggestions ?

I'm sorry about that, you're the first user to run in to such a problem (and report it to us at least!). Here are some things to try:

If your zip code has two parts, try entering only the first part or only the second part.
If your zip code has letters, try omitting the letters and entering the numbers only.
If that still doesn't work, just try "12345." Hopefully our system can still show surveys without a zip code that matches your country. In this case, 12345 would just be a filler zip code.

This all sounds good but in the last 45 hours not one survey has populated
my dashboard, I logged out to log back in and cannot remember my password
and I dont see a "reset password" or "Forgot your password" link?

Unfortunately, we don't yet have the Reset Password feature up. It's one of the ones next on the list! Passwords are salted and hashed, so I can't see your password, but if you private message me, I can change it to a new one and tell you the new one. Just until we can get the reset password feature built.

Awesome! Surveys can be about almost anything, but here are some common themes:

Packaging: a sports drink company wants to see which label people like the most
New products: A chain restaurant wants to make sure their new menu items are marketed and priced properly
Politics: political polling conducted in your local area
Business: surveys about your work habits at your company (which software you use, etc.)

Yeah, there's plenty of development left to do, including some towards protecting against VPNs. Users with VPNs generally make it through the early checks but are often weeded out part-way through a survey. We do give small rewards for partial completions (it's not fair if you spent 5 minutes taking a survey, only to get weeded out at the end and left with nothing), so I suppose VPN users are able to get those partial rewards. It is time consuming to chase after only partial rewards with a VPN, so we haven't seen VPN users stick around for long.

I did some testing to see if I can bypass that error from an unsupported country and I was able to do it successfully/easily with typing a valid postal code of one of the available countries + using a VPN to trick the system that I'm from that country ^{[you might want to implement a system that detects such actions]}...
^{- Take note: I'm not interested in withdrawing the few Satoshis that I've already earned.}

Other notes:

Some of the surveys automatically rewarded me without me taking the surveys ^{[perhaps it's a back-end error]}.
Few surveys showed an error ^[mid-way] that the survey is no longer available after taking them.
