Topic: Is BitCoinPlus a scam? (Read 24889 times)
I tried it originally, back when I got into Bitcoin. I just had a difficult time seeing how it was even close to being worth it for a "normal" person; the amount of CPUs you'd have to throw at the damn thing to get any negligible amount of BTC out of it seemed insane, ignoring the "withdraw" fee completely. You'd be doing it forever and ever and ever to get anything out of it.
Total scam and waste of time.
The owner of the site still hasn't switched to 0.0005 TX-Fee.
(Tried again today to withdraw what I had generated in the first few days I got into bitcoin - nearly 3 months ago)
STAY AWAY

Never heard of btcplus
That's because it's bitcoinplus (http://www.bitcoinplus.com/ ) and not btcplus.
its a site where you can cpu mine VIA his website.
you can even get your friends to cpu mine for you.

Don't waste your time or your friend's time. It's not worth it as you can see the comments in this thread ...
and then they don't let you withdraw anything and keep your BTC...

2% for users mining directly, 10% for embedding it in a site
what sort of fee do you think would be fair for the service?
It won't let me withdraw anything at all and I have more than .04 BTC 
Just for those interested:
I just checked my account there to see whether the owner finally switched to the "new" transaction fee. SURPRISE - he didn't.
So my coins (and probably everyone else's) are staying there...
BTW I find it very interesting that this guy disdains his clients so much that he did not even try to justify his SCAM here.
Well, moving forward...

It's not a scam, but whether or not it can hold up against inevitable governmental retaliation is another story. If major currency issuers go after it, the price could plummet.
Dude, this thread is about BitcoinPlus.com, not bitcoin itself. You are off topic.
There's nothing "ethical" or "unthical" about BC. It's an algorithm that allows for only a finite amount of currency to be created. As such, its price can only fluctuate because of supply and demand -- rather than printing or destruction.

Bitcoinplus is a great idea, but let's see someone a bit more ethical put an option together. My readership is already generating coin for me, but all that cpu effort is to waste if Bitcoinplus takes half.

BITCOINPLUS.COM is DEFINITELY A SCAM.
After 6 long weeks of mining (having experienced the 0.01 btc to withdraw); I waited for my account to be 0.02180326 bitcoins. So today was finally the day I withdraw what was mine and leave this stupid website.
Wait !!!! There's another catch: you can only withdraw in multiples of 0.01 bitcoins.
After 6 long weeks with LOWER than other pools payout, The owner "donny" gets 0.01180326 bitcoins whereas I get 0.01 if I withdraw. He's getting more than me!!! And that's not even counting the LOWER payouts.
NEWBIES, STAY AWAY FROM BITCOINPLUS.COM

Can we PLEASE get a developer to build on the concept this site started? Having your website users mine for you is a great fucking idea. But we need to get rid of the outrageous fees, etc.
Also can someone elaborate on getting spambots stuck at your site? I would love to make money off of a spammer's CPU. This would be great justice.
I have an idea. I am not willing to share just yet. I have to kink out how I would finish out the site. But let it be known, if it works, it was inspired by this post. Sorry if I'm being cryptic.Also can someone elaborate on getting spambots stuck at your site? I would love to make money off of a spammer's CPU. This would be great justice.
Also, yes, more people need to toy around with this technology.
feel free to PM me. I would love to help with ideas, maybe even a small donation or something.

People are still even using BitCoinPlus? If I didn't have access to a GPU, I'd still use CPU Mining software in a better pool than BitCoinPlus. BitCoinPlus is feature-limited and only seems to be a meh proof of concept.
I truly do not believe the intention was ever for the individual miner, but rather for the web site owner who has the ability to run the program off their own sites. I have one, I like it, and I haven't earned crap
I am more interested in seeing the technology further. Jump to:
