God Leaves Moola.com

Pavel Simakov the CTO of Moola.com has decided to leave the company. He spent 4 years as Chief Architect and one of his projects was to create the website we now know as Moola.com. He writes post in his blog about what he has done for Moola.com but not much related to why he is leaving.

What actually intrigued me is that the admin known as " God" is actually Simakov. I personally always wondered who he was and it is actually amusing to be able to put a face to the name. " God"


Note that all the information provided is entirely based on the blog entry on his site. Is he really " God"... I don't know.

Thanks for the anonymous comment leading to Pavel's blog.

Received My First Check

As I had mentioned in a previous post, I cashed out $90 in Decemberbasically my entire balance (I suggest that unless you really want to start off at ground zero and try to get pass that $5 mark, don't cash out your entire balance). I finally received my check today, but below is the time line from when I cashed out till when I got my check.

Dec 8th: Initiated a $90 cash out
Jan 4th (around this date): Received notice that my cash out was approved.
Jan 20th: Received notice that the check has been sent.
Jan 25th: Check arrives in my mailbox

Here is a picture of the check as proof (click on picture for larger image):

Now it is time to try and cash it out. I will update this post if there are any problems.

Moola Update Jan 23rd

Last night the admins released a few changes to the site. Here is a compiled list of changes that most of us have noticed so far.

2. The new Booster Wheel payment increase discussed in a previous post has been released.

Booster Bar updates:

4. Uses less browser memory

Forum Updates:
1. Give Moola Button added to every post (see warning below)

Game Updates:

2. Gold Rush Lite added (accessible via a link at the bottom of a Gold Rush game)

Referral Updates:
1. Referral bonus messages will now identify who the bonus originated from

Other Features:
1. Give Moola allows for anonymous transactions as well as the ability to deliver a message with the transaction.

I can't decide, was it smart or stupid of the Hooters manager?

Booster Wheel Gives More Money

A few days ago, the wonderful admin (Squigglee) at Moola.com told us of an upcoming enhancment to the wheel. The upgrade will increase the minimum booster amount on the wheel based on your position on the tower. The higher you are on the tower, the more money you make from the wheel.

I personally think this is a great upgrade for both Moola.com and it's members. For us members, the benefit is obvious, we have the opportunity to make more money. For Moola.com, the benefit of this new feature is that it will keep it's members from cashing out so often or so much. Thus, Moola will be able to keep more of the money it has earned (at least until members reach a point they are willing to cash out again).

Actually now that I think of it, the amount of money you would get for keeping your balance on Moola.com does not justify the new minimum boosters. But I guess any increase is a good increase.

Edit: Two commenter's pointed out a few facts that I missed when looking over this new addition.

1. Those below $5.12 will have their minimum spins reduced to one cent
2. A majority of the members are probably below the $5 mark (no evidence to back this up)
3. The lowering to $0.01 actually means that Moola is actually finding a way to give less money away.

I apologize for missing this point since when looking it over. I looked right at the bonus I would receive with my current balance.

You can read Squigglee's entire post below (I edited the post to include a table instead of just text):

Moola is in the process of developing a new *trial* feature which will give you bigger Search and Win rewards as you climb higher up the Moola Tower. The higher your level, the more you will be eligible to win on the Booster Wheel. We hope to implement this new feature in testing mode next week so feel free to post your feedback!

Here's how it will work:
--------------------
Each level of the Tower will be eligible to receive a minimum amount on the Booster Wheel. Currently, everyone's minimum booster amount is 2 cents. Moola's new Search and Win boosters will change this minimum amount depending on your level (ie. If you have 8 cents in your account, you are on Level 3).

Your Level (account balance range)	Your Minimum Booster*
Up to Level 8 ($0 - $5.11)	$0.01
Level 9 ($5.12 - $10.23)	$0.02
Level 10 ($10.24 - $20.47)	$0.03
Level 11 ($20.48 - $40.95)	$0.04
Level 12 ($40.96 - $81.91)	$0.05
Level 13 ($81.92 - $163.83)	$0.06
Level 14 ($163.84 - $327.67)	$0.07
Level 15 ($327.68 - $656.35)	$0.08
Level 16 ($656.36 - $1310.71)	$0.09
Level 17 ($1310.72 - $2621.43)	$0.10
Level 18 and above (>$2621.44)	$0.25

... more levels may be added and these amounts are subject to change (since this is still a trial feature). In the meantime, feedback welcome!

* The minimum booster is the lowest amount you can possibly win using Search and Win. You will still be eligible to win all amounts greater than this amount, but any amount lower than the minimum won't be shown on the wheel.

Instead of risking your entire balance on one big game, or cashing out your entire balance, make sure to leave enough in your account so that you can earn more using Search and Win!

Note: Moola plans to continue adding benefits for those who maintain their account balances -- so there are even more reasons to climb higher up the Tower!

What are your thoughts on this subject?

A Little Scarce

Sorry if I've been a little scarce lately. As usual, the holidays have kept me busy and now that it is a New Year (Happy New Year to all by the way), lots of responsibilities have been put on me at work. I will be posting more as soon as everything settles down.

At the very least I will post the new Leaderboard info as soon as I can.

I also want to thank everyone who has posted a comment on this blog. It is great to know that there are actually people reading this out there. FYI, you do not have to register to post a comment.
