To tell you the truth I have been less than impressed with the site on a technical evaluation, and it almost feels like it was thrown together in a realy hurry over a joomla base.

Members of Mintshot bid for items with their "mintshot dollars", earned by watching advertisements on the site and answering questions about them. There have also been allegations of cheating. The problem seems lie with the ‘Minttick’ game. The aim of the noughts and crosses style game is to collect as many ticks as possible. If you reveal a cross, the game is over. For each Minttick game that is played, $20 Mintshot dollars are deducted from player’s account balance. Game scores have been noticed to be unattainably high. On average a high score for the challenge could be expected to be around 20-22 points, but there have been examples of over 100 for $2000 worth of Bonus Bonds, 65points for $2250 worth of car audio and 70 points for a $2300 Denon Hi-Fi. The website is maintained by 20 staff working in India and is understood that the cheating is happening because the website code is easily visible. A leading bidder makes light of this point through their username is ‘GetANewWebCoder!’ Users have reported several problems with the site, including password failures and the site also went down several times yesterday.
