Topic: New: Scratch 4 Satoshis major upgrade - page 8. (Read 71471 times)

I've posted to the facebook group and twitter that we're working on banning bots who continuously drain the XAPO wallet. Hopefully we'll have that at least partially resolved today. If you play with a btc address instead of a XAPO email address, you will be paid weekly. Why is it bad that your earnings are being saved to the server? 99% of faucets who don't have funds in their wallet, your work is lost and you aren't paid at all.

Since we've been operating for almost 3 years, I think we're well versed in the Adsense policy. Our ads are compliant; when they are not we receive warnings and resolve them quickly. Thanks for the concern, but I think we're fine with adsense for the immediate future.

Ive played the site for a few days now and when it goes to pay me, I am being told the wallet you are trying to make payments out of has an insufficient amount in it to make the payment, and that it will be added to my account balance.   That is not good!  When can we expect to see payments back up and running?

Also, did you mention that you use AdSense?  Be VERY careful there son, that is playing with gasoline around a campfire.  They have a long standing history of NOT paying fountains, and other Get Paid To types of sites.  Your account gets up a few hundred dollars then you get the letter from them saying no coin for you.

Specter

Thanks for the payment!!! Your site rocks.


I suspect that's what happened, I got very busy. Oh well, I'm rebuilding

Thank you again! 
This is really a nice faucet!

Most sites immediately reset loyalty rewards at the 24 hour mark.

We reduce levels by 25 per hour past the 25 hour mark, so claim daily and you won't lose your levels, if you're a little late you can save some, but more than 5 hours late and you can expect that they'll be reset.

Hi, I got the impression that when I couldn't claim in 25 hours that it would 'start' to decline, but when I skipped a day, it went all the back to 0... I had level 101 0.o I mean, if this is the way it works, that's okay but 'start to decline' kinda implies that it'll begin to do it, and keep doing it.

How does this work again? Maybe I was gone for far too long not realizing it. Just curious on how to avoid loosing all my levels

The other thing you can do is encourage friends to like the facebook page and retweet twitter messages where we hold a contest to get more instant win codes. These provide occasional burst of satoshi that are not affected by regional multipliers.

Hey, appreciate your comments.

1) The captcha provides revenue and it's largely beyond my control how it decides to resize itself. No other captcha provides revenue so if we replace it, we'll have to cut payout rates across the board, to some degree.

2) We could keep folks logged in, but it affects the number of impressions the site gets and ad revenue. We'd again have to cut rates across the board and we'd like to avoid that. Look at it this way, you're getting paid for your time one way or the other. The longer you spend on the site, the more pages you view, the higher we can keep the payouts.

3) I totally understand. Imagine though, that you are getting paid for giving away apples. The apples cost you $10 each and you are paid $15 for some visitors, but only $1 for others. The $1 visitors come by the thousands and all of a sudden, you are out of money to buy apples. It is the same with this website; if a thousand visitors brings in $2 in ad revenue, we shoot to give away $1.75 of that and the only measurable way to keep the site in business is to use reports by adsense to carefully control who gets how much.

How do you think high paying countries would feel know that even though they contribute 80% of the site's revenue and prizes, they are only paid 20% just like everyone else? It would eventually piss off the very high value traffic to the point where they aren't interested in visiting and revenues fall. The only reason we were able to bump revenue up by almost 60% four weeks ago was due to this regional pay rate code.

In short, I hear you, I feel bad for you but if your country provides poor ad revenue I can't really reward visitors for that country by improving the rate. It's a floating rate based on the last 7 - 30 days of revenue.

Hey there,

I discovered your faucet like 10 days ago and really like many aspects of it. It's quite unique and a fun idea

I would like to give some critical feedback as well though. First the captcha when trying to claim the prize keeps resizing to an oversize in both of my browsers when clicking on show, so that the full box and the part where we actually type the words is not visible (the left and right side of the capture screen extends beyond the borders of the black box in which the captcha and prize details are contained). It can be worked around by clicking into the text field then hitting enter, but it would be much better if the captcha would stay small and inside the container box. My browsers (Firefox and Chrome) are both up to date so I guess the issue occurs for more people than just me. Since I just write about that glitch I would also like to mention that this kind of capture box can cause severe lag on computers which are a few years old, especially when multi-tabbing faucets, so I would like to suggest to consider another capture to make it more user friendly if you fix something about the resizing anyway.

Another suggestion I got is to somehow make it possible to stay on the page after we claimed our hourly win, currently there is no link to do the next scratch from there when the next hour is up, so at first I really felt stuck in navigation there, which I now work around by just clicking the "banner" which leads to the main page again, which results in having to enter the email-/wallet-adress again every time. In short I would prefer to kind of stay logged in and get to the next ticket to scratch from where I left off after claiming the last one.

At last I want to mention that I feel quite unhappy about the "regional multiplier". I have visited your faucet many times a day, had it open in a tab almost all of the time, and worked my way up to lvl 80+ now, got several referals during the last days, and last night I notice that the base reward was cut by like 30% for me suddenly. So it feels quite pointless to keep claiming often to get a little more rewarded in the future when its cut off quite randomly, because the ad revenues from the country where I happen to live are too low in your evaluation. I do not really understand such a concept anyway to be honest. I don't use an ad-blocker and it's not motivating loyal users to "punish" them because other people living in the same country don't get you enough ad revenue. For me personally it means I will now visit the faucet less often, because from quite rewarding it turned to not really so much worth to bother with, and my activities for getting more referrals will slow down a lot too now. I really don't want to rant, after all I like your faucet, but wanted to let you know how I feel about this detail.

Other then that great faucet, and hope it will be and stay a success for you, and keep getting worked on

Have a great day and kind regards.

Thanks for the wonderful site! I love the idea of BTC scratch cards, and the pay is really good!

Payments this week. I should also note that I've had to strip periods and plus signs out of google mail addresses due to some cheating that some XAPO users were doing. If this affected you, please send me the email address in a PM and I'll see if I can move levels over, etc.

Oh! OKay Well thanks for the info/reply. I am excited. I love this site. Scratch tickets are one of my favorites

That payout button you see, was/is for bonus wins, not sure why still active.

You will be paid once a week if on or over threshold, or if not sometime after, that is only if the Admin has issues, no doubts about being paid here.

I'm not sure how to receive a payment; am I supposed to wait until admin does it? I tried the payout button, but it wasn't working for me.

And nice job, Racey
