I just got some recent news from the coder (Jack Ellis) of mbBux regarding the recent downtimes of the site. You probably have already noticed that the site does load extremely slowly or often times not at all. Some people unfortunately only think narrow-minded and are immediately accusing mbBux to be a scam. They are NOT trying to scam ANYBODY!
They current downtime is most probably due to a DDoS attack (Distributed Denial of Service) on their servers. To put it simple, a script kiddy or mbBux hater (maybe another PTC site?) is attacking the mbBux servers by flooding it with multiple requests. That’s often times done with help of a so called bot net, where dozens of Zombie computers (yep, a funny word I know) are sending multiple HTTP requests several times in a row, over and over again. The server can’t stand that massive flood of traffic and simply shuts down or does react extremely slowly.
Accusing mbBux for scamming other people would only make sense if they’d actually have really started their whole site and people would already have invested their money into it. But since mbBux is currently still in Pre-Release phase, there’s not a single reason why they should scam any of us. It simply wouldn’t make sense! Remeber that!
Ok. I’m sure the site will be up agains soon. Brendan, the owner of mbBux, has announced that they’ll put the site on a differnet, more powerful server ASAP!
Let’s hope the best,

PS: Do you wanna know what the “mb” in mbBux does stand for? Well, I know the answer, muharharhar… 
PPS: It isn’t that difficult to find out. And no, I don’t got it from Jack or even Brendan himself
Hi guys and gals,
if you’ve followed my posts about my niche blog business you know that I was busy setting up a near maintenance free blog that automatically gets filled with fresh new posts everyday. Today I can finally say that it’s ready to be sold, hehe!
I’ve just set up a thread on Digitalpoint where you can bid or directly buy my website. Check it out for more information!
So, if anybody is interested in purchasing it, feel free to place a bid!
See you,

“Golden membership upgrades will now require a minimum set of requirements to be fulfilled.” (further details here)
That’s the top news for today! Basically what it means is that you have to fulfill some requirements in order to upgrade your account to a Golden membership.
The requirements:
- You need to have made a minimum of 100 clicks
- You need to have rented 200 referrals
- You have to be a member for 30 days and more
That’s about it. All in all not too much of a big deal in my opinion. But the effects might possibly turn NeoBux in an even more powerful PTC since those measures will hopefully increase the overall clicking rate. And, which is the best of all, it’ll let new members get a better understanding on how to correctly handle a Golden account (e.g. ref management, the need to click their own ads…).
We’ll see!
Discussions are open now

Welcome to another, admittedly short update on the progress with the brand new PTC called mbBux. There’s not too much to report about this new site yet, but trust me, the guys behind mbBux are working hard to provide us a great and innovative PTC. Some days ago they introduced a Private Messaging system, a feature rarely seen on other PTCs nowadays. It seems that even NeoBux is lacking behind the implemention of private messaging, although it is already announced to be implemented soon.
All in all most of the work currently concentrates on the forum and several contests to get a living community up and running and, which is even more important, to get lots of new members. There are members who already have more than 600 refs in their downline (notice, you’ll get 10% in commissions from all your direct ref purchases). All in all the whole site should now have more than 10,000 members in total (the last official number I heared was 5,000 2 or 3 days ago). One 50,000 members are reached, advertising deals will be handled out and the first ads may show up!
I personally have also done some refering work and somehow managed to get around 60 direct refs already. I advertised on different PTCs like NeoBux, BuxP, Fusionmails, HumanPTC or Advercash, either with banners or by purchasing clicks. On top of that I also created a Squidoo lens about mbBux to gain some more refs. Let’s see if I can win a prize in the referral contest…
Ok, enough said for now! Feel free to join mbBux right now to become a Pioneer member. I can’t repeat it often enough, but you’ll have lots of benefits from becoming an early member on mbBux (just like it helped me to get the ball rolling on NeoBux).
Cheers,

As reported yesterday, mbBux is now in Pre-Release phase and open to new members. I want to give a short update on what’s currently going on with the site.
Well, at the moment mbBux is still very new and most of all the announced features are currently disabled. It seems the two people behind the PTC are currently concentrating on the site forum. And in fact, the forum is looking better and better and it slowly fills with fresh news, information and member threads!
It is said that, once the forum is finished, the first features of mbBux will be released. I’m quite anxious to see what mbBux has to offer. Here are the things that I currently know about the feature list:
- Ad clicks are worth nearly the same amount as on NeoBux (around $0.01 per ad)
- You’ll get 10$ commission on your direct referral’s purchases
- You’ll get the Pioneer status when you join them in the early days (you’ll earn more than standard members)
- Referral renting and Recycling, including per referrral statistics
- Instant payments to Alertpay and Paypal
- Different membership levels
- Several games and jackpots to win cash prizes and referrals
I probably have forgotten some features, but I’ll give an update anyway once the offial features are avalable!
Right now I’ve already referred 6 new members to mbBux and I’m also participating in their first contest where you can win some cash, depending on the number of people you have referred. The contest ends at February 14th, so there’s a lot of time to build up a nice downline, eheh
Ok, enough for now. Feel free to join mbBux right today and see there progress with that fresh new PTC!
