Topic: Is BitCoinPlus a scam? - page 2. (Read 24831 times)
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.
Gettin slow but steady something... practically nothing 
Like others i was pissed of when i saw fee and amount what has to be collected before i can get my btc out. Well anyway i have 2 site creating slowly something and im wondering how long it could take to get that mystical 0.02 
Anyway there are no alternatives so im stuck with this.. as i want to use my 2 sites for making some BTC

someone mentioned some script to trap bots and force them to stay on your site, links anyone?
I just want to trap spam bots I get plenty of those, don't want to trap the google bots.
My fee was .01 btc, I wrote asking to reduce the fee to 0.0005 no response yet.
You should meet in the middle somewhere, like 0.005 I just want to trap spam bots I get plenty of those, don't want to trap the google bots.

Holy shit at catching spam bots. I have not heard or read anything of that, I will definitely and obviously be keeping an eye out. I will try and remember you are running java miner site/s.
finally got to .02 btc thanks to my web viewers, and possibly a few bots.

It was pointed out to me today that a pool owner can add transactions into the blocks the pool solves for free. so this guy really has no reason for fees unless the pool were in isn't his pool. but by running his own he would be able to save his users even more o.o tiny mh/s though so probably would take awhile to solve a block if he had his own pool. Eh, food for thought anyway
nobody will be using his system if he wonbt change fee to like 0,001 per transaction or so..
Anyone have the source to BitcoinPlus so someone else can build a more legitimate CPU mining web site?
THIS. Donations to whoever makes a legit one with blog plugins.
i believe the mining source is in the original client source, just in a different language. if you wanted something to look at i know that is one thing you /can/ look at.

Just wanted to post a thank you to the person who started this topic! Thanks for saving me from wasting my time on that site. I already mined about 0.0005 BTC but I'm stopping now. That hidden 0.01 fee is really a bitch....
Already got 0.2 from freebitcoins.org this week, waaaay more efficient!

I didn't do the math, but i have trouble thinking it's profitable to use BCP because of electricity cost
Adding to that fees, and the fact that it makes Mozilla crash, i'm not using it anymore.

http://mining.bitcoin.cz/ is for the win.
The concept is awesome though for the wordpress/blogger plugin or for any forum software for that matter. If someone set up a service that let you do this and only took 1% of the BTC proceeds and set up adsense on their webpage they would make a ton of money and provide an EXTREMELY valuable tool for web developers to make way more revenue off of their users than ads ever could provide. Sounds like a great open source project someone should work on...
I think so.
At best, a waste of time.
With BCP 500 khs. Guiminer CPU only on the same laptop got me 4 mhs.

You do know that bitcoinplus charge a hefty fee, this is from their bitcoinplus for websites section:
Fees
The fee is 19%. If you add a link to Bitcoin Plus, there is a 4% discount on the fee, bringing it down to 15%.
Now looking at that, I find it hard to believe if you mine directly on bitcoinplus that they would only charge 3%

Some people also find it hard to believe that BCP is scamming people.
Please read this thread from the start.
You will find an email from BCP to me stating that they do charge 3%.
you need to find the command prompt. either in search or run, type 'cmd' and press enter. when the prompt shows up you need to get the path to where the file is, for me i just needed to go into the downloads folder by typing "cd downloads" then "bitcoin-miner.exe" the program will run and stay open and list all its options. you can start the miner here, but its easyer if you make a shortcut for it, never have to type anything again. make a shortcut to the exe, right click it and press properties, in the 'target' field at the end you can add a space a '-' then the switch/setting the open command prompt lists, ie use the command for connecting to the server then save it. then the shortcut will start the miner for you with the right settings.
you Do need to sign up for a mining pool though so it has some place to log into.

That program didn't work, just opens and closes really fast...
With all of this bitching in this thread going on... can someone make a competing website that has a plugin for wordpress, blogger, SMF, etc so that community users can mine bitcoins for us and charge a lesser fee? If I was smart enough with coding I would do this, and blow bitcoinplus out of the water. However I am not, and no other viable option is available so I will keep using BC+. The great part about capitalism is that if no competing products are available, you can pretty much charge whatever you want...
its not so much 'bitching' as having to explain the exact same thing over and over again because people fail to read the thread.
check out http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=16125.0 and download the ufasoft miner, it works without having to install anything. I've been using https://www.btcguild.com/ as the pool it connects too. its *so* much more efficient.

Exactly.The only competition was Bitp.it and those guys run and pool and are no longer doing this, I swear their code was open source though, just too lazy find it.
There is, or was, also BitJam http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=11549.0
I await any competition as well, the technology is too good of a concept where even if it is abused by both websites and users (as I feel I see in this thread), it will still continue on for the people who see how it can be used properly (and of course for gain).
