Hi forum!

For christmas this year i give you the reworked bitcoin collector tool on coin-inc.com
44 free Bitcoin faucets and dispenser sites - all in one place!

Collect free Bitcoin now - all in one place!

The faucet list is updated weekly with all the faucets we know, find and the ones you people tell us about. Since Bitcoin exchange rates rose about 500% or more in the span of the last year, the payouts have shrunk. We aim to get us all the most out of collecting Bitcoins by combining all the places that give out Bitcoin in one tool.
Should you know or operate a faucet we would be much obliged if you could leave us the URL in a comment. Thank you.

Further site updates have been made and more preparations for the casino have been added. It's all going ahead nicely though often not as fast as we'd wish.

Have a nice time collecting Bitcoin, merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all!

Bitcoin cracks the 1000 USD mark, China seeks to keep its money and it's been a while...

Hi there forum!

It's been a while since i posted, but as many as you know time is a scarce commodity...

I have a bit for you: - Some recent world news - and the latest places to get free Bitcoin!

The exchange rate for bitcoins went "through the (temporary) roof" of 1000 USD while i was absent and a few actions were taken in return.
Or were they?
A few coincidences make it worth a conspiracy theory. It is at least a string of very lucky events that enable the US to seize major amounts of Bitcoin with takedowns like the former silkroad and others (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24378137). Then allow Bitcoin as funds in election campaigns and the price out of a sudden goes to a thousand USD average. Wouldn't it be worth checking the bigger transactions against btc addresses that were used for party support? I am not from the U.S. but if there are public documents listing contributions towards political parties - i'd be interested - please leave us a comment.
Lots of high value transactions have been made in the recent weeks and the news tell us it's from various scamming and hacking attempts made on sites operating a bitcoin daemon or users credentials. The increase in bitcoin related crime is surely there - considering the profit to be made. Though i also like to remain doubtful about the other side. At least as long as shady laws get passed during national holidays, sport-events and other distractions.
Next governmental decision regarding Bitcoin comes from China (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25233224). Banks there have been banned from trading in Bitcoin currency as to prevent loss of capital. The People's Bank of China (PBOC) gave public advice to be aware of the risks when trading in bitcoin, which is still allowed, though the state seems to strongly believe the exchange rate is steering towards a bubble. Together with the IT ministry the bank declared Bitcoin a "virtual good", being unregulated and a money laundering opportunity. Which brings up memories of an old friend. "Banks-are-only-happy-when-they-get-a-cut-of-the-money-laundering-Bill"! Haven't seen him arround since at least a week when all over world banks were convicted of manipulating interest rates to profit from speculations on currency trade. (http://www.theguardian.com/business/2013/dec/03/banks-braced-huge-fines-libor-rate-rigging).
Let's see where this goes in China. The island-soap with Japan, Korea and Taiwan is another story, but hey - you need stuff to fill the headlines.

Back to Bitcoin and how to get some!

Obviously the payout rates have changed, but a good place to start is:
(The links are shortened - just click skip ad in the top right corner)

coinbox.me
+ has about 20 active faucets attached that pay between 0.00000001 and 0.00000050
+ one of the faucets, a lottery, can pay up to 0.01000000 with all numbers matched
+ new faucets are sceduled to join coinbox soon
+ minimum payout amount is 0.00005500 BTC and happens automatically every 8 hours

btcclicks.com
+ good amount of ads, paying 0.00020000 up to 0.00040000 per add
+ The minimum withdrawal amount is 0.1 mBTC. However withdrawing an amount less than 10 mBTC will delay the processing of your payment by up to 24 hours and we will charge you a fee of 1.5%.

coinad.com
+ daily adds paying between 0.00000001 and 0.00000050
+ referal system for shared succes. for each referal click you receive btc in the amount of 10-20% of what your referral received - additional, not deducted from your referals earnings.
+ You can request a cashout once you meet the required minimum amount (0.00000544 BTC). Pending cashouts can take up to 1 week to process to avoid fraud and save money from fees.

If you happen to be a blog or website owner, there are a few ways to cash in btc through advertisement.

a-ads.com
+ each add is limited to the url it was registered with which is measured with a "health" parameter
+ pays quite a lot compared with the other advertisers - network stats are quite helpful to estimate earnings.
+ CPM are credited for daily unique visitors. Clicks do not pay extra
+ Minimum payout is 0.01 BTC and happens automatically. Max time for confirmation: 6 hours

bitads.net
+ a list with your impressions of the last week and amount of clicks is presented to bidders with adverts they like to publish.
+ you may set the initial bidding price
+ payout is 0.1 BTC

coinurl.com
- very inconsistent service - either inadequate infrastructure or coding problems
- low single payments, high minimum payout
+ serves ads and url-shortenings
+ minimum payout is 0.01 BTC.
(12% commission fee apply. This commission is not applied to the withdrawals below 0.15 BTC per month.)

Thats bitcoin news for the december beginning of 2013. If you have any experience with any of the above mentioned sites feel free to share with the rest of us in the comments.

Happy coin gathering!

Light at the end of the tunnel! Germanys gov. accepts Bitcoin as private currency

Light at the end of the tunnel! Germanys gov. accepts Bitcoin as private currency in a way that stocks are. As opposed to stock-trade though, profit from Bitcoins is declared as taxfree when a year has passed since the purchase.
This comes at wonderful time as the debate has not yet passed the US senate which i was fearful of as American politics consist of lobby-work only. The declaration of Europe's financial leader to accept Bitcoin as a legal tender will surely not go down well in Washington.
Let's hope that the weight of the recent investors from the US is enough to allow the currency to become accepted. Surely the NSA knows by now the holders of enough Bitcoin addresses to feel safe swimming in these waters.

All the best, and see you soon forum!

Attacker detected on coin-inc.com

Today we caught a visitor attempting to inject code and retrieve passwords from our server.
The attack has been identified with the origin IP of 37.49.227.111
No user data is compromised as the relevant systems have not been connected yet.
In fact this has helped us to spot a loophole which was thought to be closed.
Logging mechanisms have been updated to supply further information on injection attempts and we like to apologize for the downtime of the collection tool today.

More news on the casino and the coming expansions of coin-inc.com soon!

Thank you and see you soon forum.

US Federal Judge recognises Bitcoin as currency

A US federal judge has found Bitcoin to be "a kind of currency". The fact that you can indeed exchange it for other currency seemed to convince the judge. Find a subscript of the district courts ruling here.
The original article offers the explantion that it enables US law enforcement to continue the case against Trendon Shavers aka "pirateat40" who was accused to have run a Bitcoin investment snowball system in which the "returns" to former investors are comprised of the deposits of new investors. The defendant is said to have acquired 700.000 Bitcoin this way with a promised return of about 7%.
The defense argument was the invalidity of Bitcoin as real currency, hence no money flow. The judge though deemed the acceptance rate and usability of Bitcoin as sufficient enough to serve as money or money substitute.
Back in march other rulings already decided that Bitcoin is subject to the money laundering laws in the States and supporters of Bitcoin hope the current case will instill further trust in the digital currency. (article source)
I will keep you updated on further happenings!
Happy day and see you soon.

A little setback, though at least Mt.Gox updates

Hi forum! i'm sad to say the shipment of miners i was expecting didn't come through as the reseller was not able to provide the product or sufficient proof of purchase at the agreed date. A little sad but it may proof as starting point with our involvement into a new Bitcoin start-up.
A good thing to see though is the update on mt.gox - apparently they are now self-hosting and present on a large number of servers world-wide, which was in likelihood a response to the system buckling in under the amount of users in the past.
The new transaction system they employ is called Midas and is supposed to handle up to half a million transactions per second. A redesigned user interface is supposed to ease the usage of the exchange.
Money retrievals and deposits may still take up to a week though and is due to Mt.Gox a problem which persists with their current partner bank. The exchange is in the process of acquiring new partners according to their statements. (article source)
When considering the current market situation the exchange could also aim to deal with the negative press it accumulated during it's neigh monopoly during the past years. Charts indicate the eighty percent of market volume Mt.Gox is advertising with are a thing of the past. At the time of writing there were an indicated 47% of market volume traded over Gox.
All in all the whole market shows a promising stable trend with a current price of about a 105 $US to the Bitcon and we are confident about a positive future development.

As always; thank you for your attention and see you soon forum!

How to display Mt.Gox Bitcoin data in your website - AJAX request to retrieve market prices for Bitcoin at Mt.Gox

With my miners wasting time in the customs office i will use the time to spread some useful information. At least for the aspiring developers among you.
Here's a little jquery snippet which will fetch you the current Bitcoin exchange rate.
The example requests US dollars, and inserts the data in various ticker fields.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $.getJSON('https://data.mtgox.com/api/1/BTCUSD/ticker', function(data) {
            $('#ticker-high').html(data['return'].high.display_short);
            $('#ticker-low').html(data['return'].low.display_short);
            $('#ticker-avg').html(data['return'].avg.display_short);
            $('#ticker-volume').html(data['return'].vol.display_short);
            $('#ticker-buy').html(data['return'].buy.display_short);
            $('#ticker-sell').html(data['return'].sell.display_short);
        });
    });
})
</script>

Obviously for this to work you need some jquery running. I recommend the use of a content delivery network for this. Cloudflare offers a great service for this called cdnjs.com which also supports ssl.

Hope i could help you. If you like some advice on how to save a complete history of the bitcoin trade networks to your database please leave me a comment.

I also like to say sorry for the recent troubles with the coin-inc collector. There were some errors with the time zone settings on the new server but we fixed it.
Also, the forwarding to the next faucet happens automatically now. You just need to fill the capture and press enter... then again... then again... ;-)
We are working in all spare time on a new setup which will further ease the collection of free Bitcoin taking out the need to change between the faucet sites. If you like to support the development please find a donation address at coin-inc.com.

Have a good day and see you soon forum!

It seems the first "live with Bitcoin only" experiment is underway - American couple plans documentary

According to a source at Forbes magazine Austin and Beccy Bingham Craig plan to live the first 3 months after their honeymoon on Bitcoin only. Their motive "to see if it works" is good enough for me, given that in recent polls especially americans became kown for distrusting their currency. (The distasteful comment "In god we trust" on the US currency seems like a Karma-backfire in this light.)
I and all people i talked to about wish them good luck.
In our opinion the experiment can only be a success - as it either works out for the two or points out the gaps in the market where Bitcoin start-ups can still get a foothold or a niche for them.

I am also happy to announce that the Bitcoin market graph on the mother-site coin-inc.com is coming along. We are still collecting data but a basic Euro curve has been implemented already.
Just leave me a comment about which Bitcoin data would be interesting for you guys and we can adjust our priorities accordingly.

In other news: The tracking number of my miner states it is due to arrive in the target-country. I am well happy it shipped and will keep you updated!

See you soon forum!

$US 11.500.000 volume BTC deal of undiscloed investors buys out Bitcoin bet platform Satoshi Dice - And betting on things you made up

Hi dear forum!
It seems i have been right with my predictions ;-)
Which brings us immediately to gambling in general. Without a general human need to gamble places like Las Vegas, Macao and others would surely not exist - an ample supply of flashing lights, magician shows and pale booze can be secured at other destinations.
And as always when it comes to public eye - everybody is surprised that apparently more gambling has taken place than anybody previously thought. (Any similarities to publications about global spy networks are purely by chance).
For Satoshi Dice it has been enough to put out a fair market-price of 126.315 Btc (source), though i do hope that future investors into the Bitcoin business will hold back a bit with their plans. Yes it would push the price through newly invested money in the short run, but without a broader userbase the only people using the coin will be themselves. Thus creating "a bubble to be" as the other vital market ingredient - the user - is neglected. More apps need to be provided to make BTC everyday-friendly for the normal user. One updated wallet app is not going to cut it in the long run. Sadly enough we also had to read about more leaks in current operating systems and apps such as the unencrypted mail password saving function in Blackberry devices (source) or Androids notorious saving of your wireless LAN passwords (source). Things like these do encourage the normal user to tighten their security - they resign in the face of overwhelming threats.
Business-wise i am happy to see that more and more providers emerge to offer Bitcoin payment interfaces for online merchants and other services.
There will be a few more coughs and hick-ups along the way, but that's quite normal if your are the first with something. Now backed by even more other crypto-currencies Bitcoin is even less likely to vanish from the market, given that the investments made into Bitcoin give trust and credibility to crypto-currencies as a whole.
If you have an own opinion about this - and i hope you do - you're welcome to post your outlook at BitBet and see it become a statement people can wager Bitcoin on ;-) (source)
The most scary and the wildest fantasies of Bitcoin are brought together here, voiced by the users and you can quite legally take a bet on it.
In other news: Yesterday i had contact again with my supplier and was promised my tracking numbers on the new Butterfly ASIC's - As soon as they arrive i will update you with "Tim's Miner Test Of Scrutiny".

I also would like to inform about coin-inc.com again. A witty Bitcoin collector that i helped devise.
Hence my appeal - Coin-inc.com is currently in open beta phase and is tested to breaking-point during this period. We would like you to be part of this as the tool is supposed to be for you hunter-gatherers and it's ease our aim. Please leave us feedback in the comments here. Thank you

Until then:
Stay safe, happy mining and see you soon forum!

Best regards,

Playing games and getting paid is fine - taking control over the money-flow is even better!

Dear Forum,
this is sadly unrelated to Bitcoin though i thought it's worth informing about. There are a lot of sites that promise you payment though you will be limited to what you can click.
Check out GoldenBattles - In a global war against invading alien races you can make a stand, choose your career path, found companies and produce goods for the worldwide resistance.
Of it does not end there; you may also trade, scavenge, raid or fight your way to the top.
Though the best thing is - You can exchange your winnings into real currency and withdraw it to any bank or paypal account.
The forum is really helpful and an in game chat offers support by other members. Like global economy, it is shifting in the game too and the demands of war change all the time.
Take your chance to get to the top ;-)
If anybody is looking for me in-game - my players name is "minionTim" - hope to see you.
I have also found specific tutorials, so if you need some advice please leave me a comment.

Have fun playing and see you soon forum!

P.S.: Any feedback on the Bitcoin Collector at Coin-inc.com is more than welcome. Being a surfer i tried to make it easy though you might have another opinion. Please comment.

coin-inc.com is online in open (gmail) beta! The ultimate Bitcoin collection tool

My attempts to outsource the coin-collection tool have led to www.coin-inc.com
Open beta in this case means that the workings stand so far and a reasonable amount of faucets and surf sites is integrated to reason publishing.
I have a handfull of other faucet sites i will add in the coming weeks though their developers didn't make them very compatible.
To use coin-inc.com just enter your bitcoin address and press "get coin" - then decide if you like to collect faucets or if you like the surf screen.

The faucet collection leads you through a cycle of faucets where you have to solve the captcha and hit enter. Your address is automatically entered into the according field.
In the top bar you will see a status change after solving the captcha and you can press "next".
Via "my account" you can see all timers and the remaining minutes for your entered bitcoin address.
No more guessing. See when you can collect and get their automatically through coin-inc.com

The surf screen contains currently 4 surf and PTC sites on which you can simultaneously collect Bitcoin! No more multiple tabs and all timers in view!

That's it. Super easy to use - and incredibly useful!

If you have ideas or critics for the site and / or tool, you are most welcome to leave them here im my blog.

best regards and see you soon forum.

Hi forum!

I just discovered that the bitcoin faucets available in my bitcoin collection tool upped their payout from 0.00000100 to 0.00000250 per captcha. A 150% rise in free Bitcoin per visited Faucet!
Follow the link above or use the one at the top of sidebar to get to the coin-collector tool.

And...
The Bitcoin exchange rate is nearly up to a 100 $US again. Told 'ya it was a speculator panic. ;-)

Sorry for the short post, but time is limited at the moment. Will get back with more in a few days.

See you soon forum!

Quick Update: Bitvisitors rates dropped massively, CoinAd paying more currently (up to 0.004btc daily)!

Ripple makes waves but leaves weird aftertaste - Lawyers accepting Bitcoin - and HMRC has a teabreak about whether Bitcoin is a currency

Good day to you forum!
In recent news floating the net there is a lot of talk on projects supporting the Bitcoin idea and related services. I have reported on a couple in recent posts. As more and more facts about these projects emerge and some lawmakers try get their head around digital currencies, there is more ground for speculations.
Reason i come up with this is the behavior of officials and banks towards the Bitcoin.
My assumption is clear: instead of fighting it (you cannot shut a peer to peer network down so easily) the credo is to howl with the wolves in order to get a cut of the pie.
The first steps have been the actions against Mt.Gox and other Bitcoin exchange networks by such illustrious agencies as the Department of Homeland security. On the grounds of being unlicensed money-transmitters. Does this now mean that when i hand old Jenkins from next door the 20 quid that Hammond gave me for him last week i am the potential target of DoHS? After all, my intentions where to demand a beer as transaction fee and i had not registered for a license to transmit money.
The second and higher tier steps are Ripple & co. According to the makers it will be a "PayPal like peer to peer credit and banking system" and a main feature is to be the so called "Bitcoin Bridge". To sell it to us the user we get shown the advantages of more exchange points in the network. Which would lead to greater stability as the global market would not suffer as much as before when one of these platforms denies service for what-ever reason. It would also give access to the bitcoin trade to wider masses as the nerd-factor diminishes through a UI such as Ripple's Bitcoin Bridge. There is no need to have Bitcoins to purchase something with them.
And exactly here is the soapy aftertaste. Anonymity within this trade network is gone for the Bitcoin, except you sell a digital good via TOR network. Chances are some people do this but it's not applying on most goods.
With all the anonymity dwindling we will undoubtedly hit the point where somebody wants to tax the new found wealth. But this will also be the point where governments have to acknowledge Bitcoin as a currency, therefore lifting their course again (so likely that i would bet on it. leave me your offers in the comments). The British HMRC (Her Majesties Revenue & Customs) is currently having a bit of a quandary whether or not to accept Bitcoin as a currency (source). Apparently nobody needs to register their UK Bitcon exchanges under the terms of the money laundering regulations, but this information seems as stable as uranium when considering a paragraph from a letter of the HMRC:

We are currently in discussions with HM Treasury concerning this market and whether HMRC will be a Supervisor for this market. HMRC will be watching any developments relating to the Bitcoin market and may change our view, therefore I would suggest that you regularly check our news and update section on our website at www.hmrc.gov.uk/mlr and sign up for our e-mail alert system at www.uktradeinfo.com/AboutUs/Pages/EmailAlertServices.aspx.

Until something changes then standard Tax rules apply according to an HMRC spokesperson.
And accepted currencies rarely tend to vanish. They are rather exchanged for a newer, better systems. So we came from pebbles, to shells, to gems, over gold to the colorful paperslips and know we exchange strings of numbers. It really does not matter. None of the former fills you up when hungry and their value will always be fictive.

But should you get into trouble along the way, don't worry. You can now also use your Bitcoin to pay lawyers and attorneys. The law firm "Nesenoff & Miltenberg LLP" based in Manhattan has now announced to accept payments in Bitcoin. They state to have found a niche market in digital currency and plan to allocate more resources to "figuring out a lot of these complex bitcoin and digital currency problems". (source)

Bottom line is the world tries to get to grips with Bitcoin, one way or the other. The global tendency is upwards even though a few panicking speculators have drawn the price down temporary.
If you have thoughts or questions to this please write in the comments.
Until then - have a nice day forum!

Bitcoin plunges but earns worldwide words of praise - Newcomers, merely an addition

The Bitcoin course has had a dive recently just as it seemed to hold stable at a hundred $US. This is obviously fueled by a couple of factors and comparing blogs have already been quick to point the finger, but as always in life; it is probaly not as easy as pointing and shouting "Witch!".
Of course there are speculations done on the price of Bitcoin, but being so volatile and with so little shift in value over the last 3 weeks it seems a pretty pointless calculation. Every speculator will know that with increased holding time also the risk grows and an imminent sell is needed to cut the losses. Thus Bitcoin seems not to lend itself to a speculation business intended on winnings.
The thugs also don't make cut. Even if Bitcoin are used to trade in illicit goods. Money and Credit Cards are too. So why does this make bitcoin any worse? Because they're anonymous? Credit Card payments are not anonymous and still billions of dollars are subject to fraud each year, and cash is just good for everything from stolen bicycle to a bribed politician. I remember one who was bribed with a Villa. Are houses bad now? Surely all crooks should be awaiting sentencing in light of this non-anonymity. Yet they aren't. In fact the news tell us these people count peoples votes in dollars and count money by weight.
To all of you grumpy authors i came across: You are just jealous that you didn't get into it when it was time. But if you still want some; I recommend my coin-collector or the 50+ free bitcoin sites list. Cause something tells me you don't like to pay for coins either.

Back to the good news. A german news magazine (Der Spiegel) published some information about a set of UK laws which target "reckless misconduct" amongst managing personal in financial institutes. It is to be seen if the legislation will hold up as a banker in jail seems as possible as not being spied upon.
An article at gigaom is introducing multiple UK start-ups in the London area and beyond that have written bitcoin on their flags. Given the nature of the newcomers it seems Bitcoin have lost their mystery. A multitude of apps leads the development that aim to integrate Bitcoin closer into everyday life with applications such as Bitcoin ATM's, Ripple - a further crypto-currency and currency exchange that founded their own currency: the Ripple (They offer ways to pay bitcoin receivers over cash accounts with them as middleman) and other apps and news about major investments into various Bitcoin projects
And the arabian Gazette has an opinion on the fate of Bitcoin. Also a very nice graphical model which explains the detailed way a bitcoin transaction goes. Since the author is stated on the document and it is not property i have taken the liberty and got the image for you.

I am happy to see the course climb again. The recent investment into Bitcoin ventures creates hope that more users and public trust are gained. A more stable exchange rate would be of advantage to everyone.
In unrelated news: Mastercard has announced to withdraw from the donation-boycott against Wikileaks. Consider donating some of your coins to this most valuable resource of real freedom on this planet!

Happy mining and have a nice day forum!

BBC article about BitCoin opens on a cliffhanger and ends with a logic conclusion

In a recent article on BBC Finance the author "Constance Gustke" was asking "Does digital currency have staying power?". It then describes parts of BitCoin history whereas they were invented in the far away japan and the jerry's even have websites to trade BitCoin into other currencies, including the ones your bakery accepts. The list does not stop there and by now "Merchants, such as online dating site OkCupid, are slowly starting to accept the digital money for goods and services".

Reading this far one asks oneself; The damn currency was invented in 2009 and is in use ever-since - how did the BBC manage to avoid them for about 4 years? Surely there must be another meaning to this pamphlet. And - oh surprise - as we read on, "Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss" turn up which we know from a dispute over the origins of social networking with mr. Zuckerberg.
Apparently they are investing into a BitCoin-trust which is (or is said to be) "designed to operate like an exchange-traded fund — to the public.". It's key feature "exposure to Bitcoins with minimal credit risk" is used as intro into the volatile behavior of the BitCoin exchange rate.
And here, after stating that BitCoin would hinder growth and "even sophisticated financial thinkers have trouble understanding how it works" The article finally concludes to a series of interviews that mirror the worlds need for an de-centralised and anonymous currency.
It must be a hard time for some people to think that there could be tax you should have paid on something. Or the tears you help shedding based on missing atm transaction fees.
! Do not forget to take your steps to prepare. It won't be the manager who feels the missing money, formerly skimmed by the establishment.
One of the most amusing bits is the relay of advise from "Jonathan Waller, who runs a Bitcoin meet-up in Tokyo". Where he states that "investors and consumers should not put more than 5% of their money into the currency". It is nice to mention this, but if needed for the target audience of BBC Finance, future prospects are pretty dim.

In the end the article lists all the other crypto-currencies they have found on wikipedia and adds the myspace example of falling giants in an attempt to keep up the doubt.
We know who keeps BitCoin alive; WE DO. We miners, gatherers, chatters, start-ups and users of BitCoin gave it its value at the first place. As i have reported in previous posts this does not go down well with financial institutions who fear to be beaten in "their" game.

Be smart and head over to the Coin Collector tool to gather some free Bitcoins right now while the rest of the world is still puzzled.
Because i (though i should say we) believe that BitCoin has the staying power it needs.

In other news: I am sorry to have delayed the cookie version of the Coin Collector tool, though for experience and performace reasons the Tool will get it's own dedicated space. See you soon on http://www.coin-inc.com ! More news on this space.

Btw. the source of the mentioned BBC article.

The fixed Bitcoin Collector, a new site to gather some coin and a hopefully positive law

Hi there forum!
And sorry for the broken coin collector tool - It's fixed now! Somehow blogger seems to break the javascript into multiple lines which causes it to error.
So i decided to move this site to a dedicated url and space in order to have everything work properly. With the coming cookie (optional) i must also add a privacy policy, i hope you don't mind. There will be no google analytics running on the new page and though i cannot speak for the faucets.

In other news: coinvisitor.com is down, though some members report the chat as working. On the reporting page an argument about coinchat.org not paying it's visitors was put to rest by the operators of said chat. A bit further down we also find a new player in the bitcoin game: easybitco.in. They allow you optional retrieval by PayPal though you can keep anonymity with a bitcoin address and a made up email. Earning opportunities include a chat, paid to click, and offers with attached free bitcoins.
Also; the german "bundestag" ruled Bitcoin transactions tax-free if one year passes between purchase and selling of the held bitcoins. The politicians though do not yet answer on how they imagine a user to produce said proof. The original article can be found here.

Have a save day,  and see you soon forum!

Movement on the Bitcoin front distinguishes adapters and conservatives in dealing with the cryptocurrency

Where the US is concerned about not having control over the bitcoin, other states seem to embrace the concept of an open and anonymous currency; the way cash used to be. And as in recent concepts the united states either lock it away / shoot it dead or treat it with ignorance and lies. Currently i would say it is still the ignorance phase, though as china emerges on the same playing-field as a heavy investor the first "lies" are being heard. Still in the philistine form of concerns about child porn and terrorism but the moral card is the only one that seems to work in the stars and stripes country. Choke on this, prism.
Anyhow. Asia seems to embrace the "new" currency as the state-run television channel cctv reported in several installments about the crypto-currencies seemingly embracing it, and a large australian retailer has taken steps to allow purchases with Bitcoin in their online-shop. A spokesperson of the retailer (Millenius) has revealed that the company plans to pass the savings of the bitcoin transactions back to the customers. Credit cards and other payment forms and portals charge fees from about three percent which do not occur with Bitcoin payments.
I support all these actions in general, though i fear that the banks will smell lost profit if the Bitcoin stays and if cut out from a regulatory system the same banks proposed they will most likely make "their" money back in fees on the transactions from money to Bitcoin. Let's work on it so this does not become true!
Here are the sources of the articles:
www.ibtimes.com
www.techradar.com

That's nations interests on the table there and you would be unwise to stick your head in the sand. Bitcoin, Litecoin and their peers are real and you can have 'em too. If you don't fancy buying them for loads of cash you can always pop by on this blog, use the Bitcoin Grabber tool and collect free Bitcoin from all the faucets without leaving this page. The tool is updated regularly so if you have any suggestions please leave them in the comments. Btw - i have implemented the live ticker of Mt.Gox in the sidebar of this blog. On pageload you get the latest data about the worlds biggest Crypto-currency exchange.

Thank you suspicious observers and see you soon forum!

I have sat down and built you guys an easy collector for all working faucets out there. (At least the ones i know of)
The tool lets you collect you from all "Free Bitcoin" Sites without leaving one. A timer will display you the time needed to pass until you can collect again.
Now with the current version you would need to leave the page open, but i am working on a solution with cookies so it will save your time marks even after you close the browser and return to the page. Sadly blogger is not that easily accessible which means a js workaround. Plan is to have it working in the next few weeks. But as you can see on twitter #minionTim there is loads to be done ;-)

If you have additions for the tool such as working faucets or if you find an error please leave them in the comments of the tool page i will try to add / fix the mentioned stuff.

And finally, i present: The Free Bitcoin Collector Tool

See you soon Forum!

At last: Banks start to approach the BitCoin and it's the hegemonial behaviour they always show

It is official since yesterday: Israeli Banks have started to impose an embargo on Bitcoin exchange especially towards Japan which is declared as "home of Mt.Gox".
The initiative came from the Banks who approached the government with the concern that no central governing body for the Bitcoin would mean it is a money laundering operation that falls not under the banks jurisdiction and is therefore to be declared illegal.
Reading between the lines it tells us that in exchange for a possibility to rule over bitcoin the banks could imagine a cooperative with the currency. But here applies the same rule as with the PRISM government. Just because we're used to you guys (gov,banks,corp.) fucking it up doesn't mean it's ok.

You can read on the original article here, which also holds an english transcript of the Israeli statement.

This behavior suggests attempted politically and financially motivated attack on the free currency which if in any case successful will find it's way into the "war on terror" legislative decisions of the Bush/Obama/And-whoever-is-to-follow. This is not contributing towards a free world and we urge you to stop this fail in inner and outer politics where you can. Write to your senator today! Together we have a voice.

Take your chance and use my list of 50+ sites to grab FREE Bitcoins before they get their next publicity push. Since their invention the monetary system feels threatened by the Bitcoin and tries to outlaw it. The crypto-currency will emerge triumphant again and the early adapters will be the smiling ones again.

Butterfly Labs Bitforce 5GH/s SC Bitcoin ASIC Miner for testing purposes

Dear Forum,

over the last days i set out to secure one of the new Butterfly labs miners. Their arrival was sadly overshadowed by delivery problems and great delays for pre-orders. Finally the company started shipping though and i hope to have the device here in about 8 weeks.
I will keep you posted about the progress and dealings with Butterfly labs.

Don't forget to check out my other posts about the digital crypto-currency Bitcoin and how to obtain some arround the internet. To left you find a link to a list with 50+ websites that pay you bitcoin for various reasons.

Have a great time and happy mining!

Websites that pay you bitcoin to look at other webpages

You might be right with the suspicion that these are mere traffic exchanges with an incentive to use them. And that's right, you just need to know how to make them work for you. A traffic exchange has 2 things you might want or need. Visitors and/or a reward for using the exchange.
In the case that interests us, we look at websites which pay you in BitCoin for browsing their repertoire of websites. And, for some of you who find that usefull, display a website of your choice for a payment in Bitcoin. So you can either reek the rewards, and or re-invest them to promote a site of your choice, or you just invest into some traffic.

BitVisitor - Bitvisitor is number one on this list for a number of reasons. The amount of sites they have to browse, their quick and unproblematic payout and and an easy to use design which is not overloaded with advertisement. BitVisitor has lots of sites for you to browse each day ranging from 8 mBTC to 60+ mBTC. The standard timer per page is at 5 minutes. When there are no sites left for you to browse the system will notify you and stop working until new sites to visit are avilable.

CoinVisitor - Coin-Visitor is an almost equally good site, with a great capture system which requires no writing at all. Well, except you click the wrong symbol. It gives you a row of related things with one thing in there that does not belong. Like a teapot in a row of birds. Just click that and you earn from 8 mBTC up to 160 mBTC for a pageview! The standard timer here is at 10 seconds with rare maximums of 3 minutes for the better paying sites. There are not as many sites in rotation as on Bitvisitor, but you get awarded prices for surfing sites after the paying sites have been exhausted.
Coin-Visitor also has a chat which assigns random Bit-coin to its participants. Chatting with your mates will earn each of you an easy buck this way. And is an alternative to earn when the visiting pool is empty for the day.

EarnFreeBitcoins - This is also a site which pays you for browsing their stock. The standard timer here is at 3 minutes and payout ranges from 4mBTC to 60mBTC per visited site. This website has in general less sites in circulation and pays the lowest average of the three, though with their completely different timer times, the three of them are easily combined in on browser window.

I have received all payments from earnings during the test of these sites, latest about 8 hours after surfing with the portal. And all three sites are up and running by the time i am writing this.

In the next entry i hope to be able to tell you more about the casino side of Bitcoin. There are a few of them out there and i will try to dig up some information for you guys!

Suggestions and critics in the comments please.

What is Bitcoin and how do i get started?

Dear readers,

my plan was to get further into reward numbers on popular surf for Bitcoin sites though the response in general was a general urge for more information regarding Bitcoin. Though the term is widely used and the media tries it's best to stigmatize the currency, not many people can really say they know what Bitcoin is. I will attempt to rectify this wrong by explaining Bitcoin to you.

Bitcoin, with the acronym BTC, is a digital currency which is encrypted and deployed alongside a POW (proof of work) protocol. This POW system makes it possible to deter spamming or denial of service attacks (DDoS, DoS). This is usually achieved by demanding processing time and power from the requesting party.
The result of these systems is called a Cryptocurrency. The first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, was first mentioned in 2008 and created in 2009 by the pseudonymous developer Satoshi Nakamoto. Today there are quite a few cryptocurrencies though not all of the ones launched have been successful. The most popular are Bitcoin, Litecoin, Namecoin, and PPCoin. A comprehensive list may be obtained on wikipedia.
The transfer of Bitcoins is managed by an open source protocol and completely decentralized. This means that no authority what-so-ever has any management powers over the currency. The network is made up of the users of Bitcoin and servers which together build a ledger which is updated and archived in frequent periods by peer-2-peer file sharing technology. With every update of this ledger the newly "mined" bitcoins are minted and added into the total flow of the currency. More on mining later.
The number of new bitcoins released with each update is halved every 4 years until 2040 a theoretical amount of 0 Bitcoin left should be reached. From this point on no more new Bitcoin can be generated and the total number of 21 Million Bitcoin is reached.

To use Bitcoin you need a "Wallet" which can be either locally stored on your computer or online with a Bitcoin-Wallet service. Where and how i have explained in this post.
The latest information on Wallets is now kept in the Wallet-guide on Coin-inc as this information is to useful to rot in an old post.
 
The formerly mentioned "mining" of Bitcoin has nothing to do with the actual occupation of real mining. It rather describes a process where you use a computer to solve a mathematical problem. In the beginning the difficulty levels of the problems where low enough to allow mining with CPU's. Shortly after, miners switched to GPU's with their superior multi-threading technology. Nowadays you are able to buy so called ASIC mining sets (Application-specific integrated circuit).

If you like to know more about Bitoin or related themes like mining please leave me comments or check out my other posts.
See you soon forum!

Another Advertising solution and alternative to Google's Adsense - Anonymous Ads

As threatened in the last post i will introduce Anonymous Ads to you.
It is an add provider which pays in BitCoin rather than other currencies and offers all standard add sizes for you to implement into your website.
The website makes a clean and ordered impression and no errors or broken links have been found. Payment tracking is working seamlessly as far as i can tell from the gathering of my statistics. The FAQ read easy and cover all beginners questions from what i can tell.
In difference to CoinUrl, Anonymous Ads does not offer the monetizing of urls.
Furthermore is there a payout threshold of 0.01 BitCoin. That said, their terms of service state a payout if the threshold is reached or the value does not change for 7 days. This means you don't have to initiate a manual payout as in CoinUrl. And in all likelyhood you will reach a higher payout with Anonymous Ads as they also credit you for impressions of ads not only clicks on them.

Their add statistics are pretty similar to CoinUrl though the referrer, IP, or point of entry into the network is not recorded. Pretty graphs and pie-charts inform you about the rest though. Hence Tor nodes are disabled by the network i was unable to confirm regional add differences but their language statistic suggests so.

Make sure you join Anonymous Ads as more People in the network will improve add quality for all.
I hope this was helpful to you. Next time i will crunch some numbers on various payouts of pay-for-action services that offer Bitcoin.

regards, Tim

P.S.: Don't forget to cash in your daily free Bitcoin at bit-visitor and earnfreebitcoins.com. If you need a wallet visit Blockchain or Coinbase.

A nice day to all of you!

Monetizing your webappearance without Google

The list of reasons to seek alternatives to googles adsense is long and varies for everybody who intends to do so. I have had various bad encounters with them where it often is not far from fraud on their part but you agreed to the terms of service hence you can't call it that. One of the alternatives i want to show you today is CoinUrl. CoinUrl is around for some time and the adds begin to improve as more people join the program. Instead of a payout threshold you have to reach there is none, and the payments are done in Bitcoin. This means nearly instant and totally anonymous transfers. You neither require a business, a credit card nor do you need to wait for checks.

CoinUrl offers you various choices of ads.
You can either choose one of the standard add formats which will display banner and text adds just as the google alternative, or you can utilise your outbound links so they award you bitcoin if clicked. For this method you don't need to add any new links to your site. Simply modify the ones you have anyway or a simple javascript which does it automatically for you.
CoinUrl naturally also offers add management so you have absolute control over what adds are displayed on your site. Detailed statistics for all add choices make for easy analysis of the data and provide a comprehensive insight into your website traffic if you have no other tracking tools in place.

I have had email contact with CoinUrl and friendly and quick replies to my technical questions and help inquiries. My earnings have all been paid so i can't report any actuall issues with the company.

Don't hesitate and wait for better times, the Federal Reserve Bank has aknowledged Bitcoin as valid currency and it is here to stay. Get yours today!

Also don't forget! While browsing you can easily snatch some Bitcoin for "browsing the web". Just open these sites in new Tabs and pay them a little attention every now and then. Bit-visitor will pay you to surf the web, as will Earn-free-bitcoins.com. If you like to know more free paying sites be sure to look up my post about 50+ websites that pay free Bitcoin!

In the next post i will investigate Anonymous Ads.

stay tuned for more Bitcoin informations,

Receive free BitCoin to your computer or online wallet

BitCoin is a currency as good as any other. Maybe even better hence it's decentralised and limited to a total amount which prevents inflation. BitCoin can be traded and exchanged into every major currency and some of the minor ones too as more and more banks start to accept or trade BitCoin.

For you to get BitCoin or to participate you need a wallet. This is an app which stores your transaction history and lets you access and manage your BitCoins.
The App is available for all major operating systems such as Windows, OSX and Linux.

To store your BitCoins locally you can use the original open source BitCoin QT wallet. After you download and install the wallet it will take quite some time to update the transaction history. You can just go ahead and create a receiver address and use it. Once the wallet is updated your BitCoin will show in your account.
To store them online i recommend the Blockchain wallet. Storing your coins online is a great idea when you share your computer, change it often or have only limited access to one.
In your wallet you then create a receiver address, or "BitCoin address". This address you need to state everywhere where you'd like to get paid.

To try it out and get your first BitCoins for free you can take advice from my post on 50+ websites to get free BitCoins.
Additionally you can market your website or blog to receive BitCoin. There are several advertising networks around which pay you out in BitCoin. Their range is from text links, over banner adds to fullscreen or popup solutions.
Another nice feature which needs mentioning is the ability to turn outbound links into profit-makers. You will not need to add any links to new or other sites to your website, instead you can utilise the outbound links you have anyway. If users click on these links you'll be rewarded with BitCoin.

And if you like browsing the web for interesting sites or watching through new youtube videos you can even make bitcoin from that! Check out this site which pays you just for visiting websites, or this other page where you can watch videos and be rewarded.
All of the suggested sites pay out, i have tested it.

If you have any more questions about BitCoin. How to get them, win them, mine them; let me know and i will publish it here for all to see!

Greets,

Collect your free BitCoins today! Get BitCoins for browsing the web!

This is a repost of a former post, but i hope you forgive me i had trouble with the blogger software.
Enough about me.
BitCoins are a virtual currency that has taken of big time. If you don't know what BitCoins are then maybe you could watch this little video, it explains a lot.

Let's recap some of the information:
- Bitcoins are limited to a total amount of 2100000 (21 million) thus eliminating a myth governments sell to you as inevitable; inflation
- Every transaction changes a coins algorithm prohibiting creation of fake coins or copying of coins.
- Mining will in all likelihood continue until 2035. As the difficulty and computer power increase about proportionately this estimation should hold up against the test of time.
This information tells us that the course will in all likelihood remain somewhat stable, and there are also no legal attempts to bring BitCoin down. Rather the opposite is the case where politics and banks recognise BitCoin and allow exchange.

Here you can find a bitcoin monitoring tool which shows in real time whats happening in the bitcoin world. And on Blockchain you can get a free and save online wallet. If you instead like to rather have it on your own computer you can use the open source wallet Bitcoin QT which supports also the new micro-payment standard.

Now that you know what a bitcoin is, i will explain about the ways to get them. First, you may purchase them with your local currency over trading portals like: Mt.Gox and BitCoin.de.
Second; you can "mine" the coins. Mining describes a task where you get your computers cpu or gpu to solve mathematical problems, which when done result in the creation of new bitcoins. The hardware for this has become pretty dedicated in recent years. So forget about joining up with your laptop. If you buy get an ASIC system or opt for an array of graphics cards on windows or linux. Sadly the miners under OSX have in majority proven to be unreliable. Not only because Apple only supports last tuesdays device.
The third option, and probably the most easily achievable one are websites like Faucets. Most of them will demand as little as resolving a captcha to hand out free bitcoins.
Here is an overview and what they do:

Tracking Bitcoins and transcations

To get a general overview of what is going on i have collected a few tracking tools related to bitcoins for you.

Bitcoin transaction monitor - Here you can see bitcoin transactions logged in real time. Somewhat transparent when you compare this to a bank. Thumbs up from me!

Indepth Market Data Graph - as supplied by clarkmoody. Real-time market data of Mt. Gox.

The bitcoin charts - rates and current data from the biggest exchanges in the internet in various currencies from Dollar to Rubel.

And if you are one of the more active members of the bitcoin community, meaning mining, there's a handy "worker manager" with extensive data display.

Thank you guys so far and check back for more news on the digital revolution called bitcoin.

yours,

LiteCoin Mining - the easy bitcoin

Mining Bitcoins has lost it's appeal for many when the algorithm difficulty became too demanding first for CPU's then GPU's. Nowadays you will find so calld ASIC miners. ASIC stands for Application-specific integrated circuit and has been optimised for the processes of mining. No laptop and not many desctop sytems are able to compete with this mining power.

Bitcoins are expected to be completely mined somewhere around 2035. Litecoins with their easier algorithm though is expected to be fully available by about 2018. This shorter maturity period means they are also easier to mine, hence lighter on the equipment.
Once you have mined the lite-coins you can easily exchange them for Bitcoin should you wish to do so.

To get advise on mining and find a community visit the "mining guide". Pooled mining and their operators are most likely your way to go as especially bitcoin is so hard to mine solo that the price for the rig needed exceeds most likely the earnings.
You can get a taste of mining with this java based browser miner.

And finally for all who want to really know: a mining profit calculator


Have a nice day and happy mining to you all!
