Title: I need some help
Post by: Fulvio on December 20, 2015, 07:53:30 PM
I'm going to be internet-less for a week or so over the Xmas break, and this is a problem because I have some sites that must be visited daily.

Regardless of your opinions on cryptocurrencies, the fact is that its taken me 4 months to build up a loyalty bonus which will disappear if I don't claim from each of the three sites every day. Which obviously I can't do.

Now, I have reached out to the Dogecoin community in this post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/3xfmut/thanks_to_the_volunteers_the_page_is_up/

which links to an earlier post and to the page with the links via a roundabout route because Reddit are a bit idiotic in their site-wide bans (several million users of a service effectively banned because one guy spammed a link a million years ago, go figure) :dodgy:.

Since we have no such BS here, the direct link is http://fulvio55.altervista.org/moon.html

What I need is several people (the more the merrier, because redundancy, der) to stop by every day (or more often, obviously) for a week or so. I should be heading off Boxing Day, and hopefully back on the 1st or 2nd.

I'm not out to make any money on this, so I'll be tipping away the week's earnings in that Reddit thread. If you want a piece of that, you just need a Reddit account, and leave a comment in the linked thread.

Thanks in advance to any and all helpers. And Merry Xmas and all that jazz to everyone. :angel:

So I understand correctly, all you want is for us to visit the site via link provided ?

I would love to help you out Mate but I doubt that there will be much phone/internet reception along the Fitzroy river between Broome and Derby :angel:

Yup. Input the associated wallet address, click claim, solve the captcha, hit enter.

Rinse and repeat daily, or more often if you want.

I had an outage thanks to Optus incompetence, and when it was finally fixed, the timer was at 23 hours and 57 minutes.. way too close for comfort. :(

Apart from my dumb Nokia not having the capability, there's no network out there.

Thanks. BTW, They're two sets of three, one for me, and one for someone else. So it takes 5 min for each site to reset, unless you use two different IP's (say fixed and mobile connections).

Got the hang of it. Seems the longer you leave a site open the more the amount accumulates. So I will open each day and leave it going and see what happens.
Have seen some big numbers but, checking values, they equate to negligible dollars! Presumably there is a compounding over time to make it worthwhile.

Quote from: 'JeffH' pid='83192' dateline='1451115201'Seems the longer you leave a site open the more the amount accumulates.

Its a parabolic curve. I mapped it a while ago. Starts off as a straight line for the first 5 or 6 minutes before tapering off. At about a day its pretty well flat, and barely increases after a week.

So maximum payout is to claim every five minutes, but that precludes having an actual life. 5 or 6 claims a day is much more reasonable, which is about what I tend to get in, unless I'm doing something mindless like watching some drivel on TV or something. Or if I can't get near a computer for half a day or more.

The bonuses are significant though. 100% loyalty, plus up to 100% random, plus up to 100% referral. Yes, in fiat terms its negligible.. about US$1 a week for each of the three faucets without making it a career. But that's at today's prices. If the markets spike it could be far more at some stage.

Faucets aren't designed to make anybody rich though. They're designed to get a few coins into peoples' hands to play with, and to make the site owner a few bucks as well. So why do I bother? Because given that the ad agencies pay out in fiat, and the site has to pay in crypto, that means they have to buy the coins, and the resulting buy pressure raises the prices and helps everyone. The volumes are not insignificant... The Moon faucets hand out about $3,000 each a week, and there are literally hundreds of faucets out there doing the same.

Anyway, thanks again for helping out guys. I should be outta here in the morning, hopefully when I get back my bonuses will still be intact. :)

OK, obviously I'm back (things went a little pear-shaped, but it was a fun week nonetheless). Nice to see the bonuses are intact. :)

Thanks to all who helped out. This week's payouts are done, and I'll be taking the proceeds and dividing them up between all those who helped. Here, on Reddit and in a club Google Group.

If you have a Dogecoin wallet address, please post it. If you're on Reddit, please give me your username and I'll use the tipbot. If you helped and haven't spoken up yet, please say so. For those who have neither a wallet or Reddit account, I'll be generating paper wallets and PM'ing you the private key, which you will need to keep safe and use to move/spend/tip the coins. Obviously, don't let anyone else see the key.

Any payment can be sent to charity.

Yep. Haven't done the math yet, but it will probably work out to a trivial amount anyway.

Spend it, tip it, keep it, donate it, or better yet, use it to learn how this all works.. I don't really care, I just need to keep the promise I made.

I'm about to head off to the middle of nowhere again. I reached out to a couple of the usual suspects, but have had no positive response, so I thought I'd ask you all again...

Could I get some help with my http://fulvio55.altervista.org/moon.html faucets please?

The plan at the moment is to leave Melbourne after the DTE meeting late Thursday, and drive up to Moulamein to install a data link and network. But it won't be finished till next week, assuming all goes well. Then once its up, I **should** be online and able to get access at least on an occasional basis, but I might need help till a week or so after Easter.

What I need basically is for a couple of people to log in a couple of times a day, click the button and solve the captcha. The page WILL open an ad either in the background or foreground, so what I do is leave the three tabs open all the time, and just dismiss the extra tabs as they open.

If you've helped with this before, just be aware that some addresses have changed. That's OK, I've changed them on the page and they're in the URLs as parameters (even though they don't get propagated into the address field). Just don't log out, and it should all be good.

Why am I asking this? Because if it goes more than 24hours without a claim, the bonus will reset to zero. I missed one by a couple of hours around Xmas, and only just got back to 100%. I'd rather avoid a repetition. ;)

Understood. Hence the desire for multiple participants. :)

Those captcha are a bit tricky, I wonder if a robot wouldn't do a better job recognising street signs and mountains? I'll give it a go, hope I can remember not to forget about it.

Yeah, I dunno what Google are thinking. Sometimes I end up solving 8 in a row before it lets me in. :(
