    Wow, I didn't even know they had points. I got 88, which doesn't really buy much. But still, this is a nice addition to the site. Would be nice if there was an option to add gb's to your upload. These music sites need this kind of option the most.

    Well, I don´t have even a clue about how it works, but I think you both are wrong.
    I´ve never uploaded anything, I´ve never posted in forums, and of course I´ve not filled any request. I only downloaded 1 release and I´ve been seeding it for 2 or 3 months, and have 10 points.
    Well they haven't given points retroactively yet so you haven't got any points for the things you did before they introduced the points system. But snatch/upload something now and you will get 5 points (or 20 for filling a request). I don't know about posting or seeding though

    Read Introducing waffles points in the announcements.

    The main methods are uploading (min 5 points per torrent, bonus 5 points for waffles iron), downloading torrents (min 1 point per torrent but increases based on torrent size), and forum posts (I think it is 100 points per 1000 posts, you get points at 1000 posts, I read this so dont know if it is true).

    If you want points then today is your lucky day. Get on the torrents in Analog Week, which starts in a couple of hours, as you get 30+ points for each download.

    Two things rarely mentioned: you dont get any points for downloads if you are on half or free leech, and the downloads have to be over 50mb in size or you get no points.

    I got tons of points after dl 20GB dream pop last time,each 50mb+ gave 15+ points,also didnt know about not getting any points from self-freeleech, learnt it from a hard way.
    the only thing worthy in waffles shop would be the anytime conversion,350points, but sold out all the time. also it has a bug, say if you have 2 anytime invites and 3 regular ones, after conversion, you'll have 8 anytime invites instead of 5,which might be the reason that there are waffles invites GA everywhere recently.

    it's not a bug.

    Convert Regular Invite
    to anytime (BOGO)
    350 Points


    BOGO = Buy One Get One

    in your example, if you convert the 3 regular invites, you end up with 6 anytime invites. add that to the two anytime invites you already have, and you have a total of 8 invites.

    The invite giveaways are because the regular invites have been open for longer than their usual thirty seconds recently.

    not that I need to use regular invites since I got more than enough anytime ones, but what's sign of regular invites opened ? on the left upper corner, 'invites' should it be highlighted or not ?
    p.s. bought the Beta Access, found it completely useless. 2000 points wasted.
