Current situation

Update September 02, 2010. IcoBux.com team had stated that they have purchased a new server more than a week ago. There is no news from them since that time so we are moving Icobux to the scam list.

Update August 16, 2010. icoBux.com has changed totally the look of the site with some changes in account types, and also Alertpay and Paypal are enabled for cashout.

Update August 09, 2010. icoBux.com team lost money from their Paypal and AlertPay balances. Somebody have found a bug in the script and cashed out their whole balance. They have contacted PayPal and AlertPay about it and cashouts are closed until it's fixed. This issue proves again that Gen4 is still full of security bugs and even a month of programming work on the script in Pre-launch did not help Icobux to find and fix all the bugs.

General information:

icoBux.com domain name has been created on 2010-05-03. icoBux.com is hosted on server from GODADDY. The site is using Gen4 script from PTCpay. Also, the site is hosted at the same server as ptcpay.com, so it means either icobux.com is owned by PTCpay or PTCpay and icobux.com owners are in close connection.

15.000 users had joined icoBux.com during the prelaunch/beta phase, official launch has started on 1st August, 2010. Now the site have more than 30.000 members and paid out $701.14!

Cashout has been enabled and Payment proofs will be posted here : Payment Proofs

Please note:

Upgrading price was $64.95 during beta phase and now has been increased to $80
New membership added called Silver, it will be sold to only 2000 members

icoPoints is a easy way to buy a lot of different things at icoBux.com.

How do I earn icoPoints?
You can currently earn icoPoints in 4 different ways..
Writing forum topics [ 10 points for Pioneer & Standard - 15 for Golden! ]
Writing forum posts [ 1 point for Pioneer & Standard - 2 for Golden! ]
Adding money to your rental balance [ For every $1 you'll get 2 points. If you add more than $100 you'll get double. ]
Upgrading your account [ 150 points ]

We will probably add more ways to earn icoPoints in the future!

So.. You can't loose points?
Oh yes you can!
For every forum post you get deleted you loose 10 icoPoints!

So.. This is just for fun?
Nope, not at all!

We are gonna hold contests where it will cost icoPoints to participate, which means that the prizes will be bigger than normal contests!
We are also gonna add a "icoPoint Shop" in the future, where you will be able to buy referrals, memberships & lots more!
Please note, we do not tolerate spam at all! Any attempt to increase the icoPoints by spamming will lead to forum suspension.
