Three startups have recently launched services that allow users to earn bitcoin by uploading content such as images and videos. This article provides an in-depth comparison of Loopnroll, File.Army, and Supload, examining their unique features, payout structures, and limitations.
Loopnroll: Daily Auto-Payouts with an Imgur-Like Interface
Loopnroll enables users to publish photos, short videos, and animated GIFs, with optional background music. Each view of a post generates a small amount of bitcoin for the uploader. The platform has been operating for about a year and recently introduced its bitcoin payment feature, currently hosting around 10,000 posts. According to the team, Loopnroll shares approximately 50% of its profit with users, with earnings automatically sent daily to the user's bitcoin wallet—no minimum payout threshold. Revenue depends on view count and viewer geolocation; for instance, a view from Sweden is worth several times more than one from Somalia. The interface strongly resembles Imgur, the world's most popular image-hosting site.
File.Army: Military Rank System Rewards High-Quality Traffic
File.Army launched in January, followed by an Android app. Users earn money when their uploaded images are viewed, liked, or when others follow their account. The platform features a 9-rank military hierarchy called the “pay grade” system. New users start as “Corporal” and are promoted or demoted based on traffic quality. Corporals earn $1 per 4,000 views, $1 per 100 likes, and $1 per 50 followers, with a daily cap of $2. At the top, the “Emperor” rank earns $1 per 750 views, $1 per 50 likes, and $1 per 5 followers, with a daily cap of $5,000. A notable limitation: earnings must be withdrawn to File.Army's official bitcoin wallet, Bitcoinwallet.com, a web-based service created by founder Price Givens, who also runs Fiatleak.com and other ventures. The platform uses a white background and requires swiping left or right to browse posts, differing from traditional side-menu layouts.
Supload: Longest Running, Lowest Withdrawal Threshold
Supload is the oldest among the three, describing itself as “free image hosting that splits the profits with you from advertising.” It supports images and videos (video length capped at 30 seconds), with formats including jpg, png, webp, gif for images and mp4, webm, mov, avi, gif for videos. The platform pays 50% of advertising profits to users, with a minimum withdrawal of just $1—no delay or accumulation required. Its interface also resembles Imgur but with slight differences. Since December (when Bitcoin.com first profiled Supload), the service has gained steady traction among content creators seeking a simple, low-barrier bitcoin earning method.
Which Platform Suits You Best?
Each platform caters to different user needs. Loopnroll is ideal for casual users who want daily automatic payouts without minimums. File.Army targets power users capable of driving high-quality traffic, offering significantly higher earnings potential—but at the cost of using its proprietary wallet. Supload provides the most straightforward and accessible option, with a low withdrawal threshold and no ranking system. Content creators should evaluate their audience size, content type, and willingness to use a specific wallet before choosing a platform.
