Title: Advertise on this forum - Round 48 Post by: theymos on August 24, 2012, 08:22:25 PM In order to collect more money for the creation of good forum software, the forum is selling ad space in the area beneath the first post of every topic page.
Ads this week will be allowed to contain any non-annoying HTML/CSS style. No images, JavaScript, or animation (no marquee or blinking). Ads must appear 3 or fewer lines tall in my browser. Ads will be prefixed with "Advertisement:". Ad text may not contain lies, misrepresentation, or inappropriate language. Ads may not link directly to any NSFW page. Ads may be rejected for other reasons. There are 10 total ad slots which are randomly rotated. So one ad slot has a one in ten chance of appearing. Eight of the slots are for sale here. Ads appear only on topic pages with more than one post, and only for people using the default theme. The ad lasts 7 days starting from when I put it up. Stats Exact historical impression counts per slot: https://bitcointalk.org/adrotate.php?adstats Efficacy stats: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=54182.0 Info about the current ad slots: https://bitcointalk.org/adrotate.php?adinfo Auction rules Post your bids in this thread. Prices must be stated in BTC per slot. You must state the max number of slots you want. When the auction ends, the highest bidders will have their slots filled until all eight slots are filled. So if someone bids for 8 slots @ 5 BTC and this is the highest bid, then he'll get all 8 slots. If the two highest bids are 8 slots @ 4 BTC and 1 slot @ 5 BTC, then the first person will get 7 slots and the second person will get 1 slot. - When you post a bid, the bids in your previous posts are considered to be automatically canceled. You can put multiple bids in one post, however. - All bid prices must be evenly divisible by 0.5. - The bidding starts at 0.5. - The auction end time is 3:30:00 on August 27, UTC. Countdown (http://free.timeanddate.com/countdown/i2u518av/cf12/cm0/cu4/ct0/cs0/ca2/co0/cr0/ss0/cac000/cpc000/pcfff/tcfff/fs100/szw448/szh189/iso2012-08-27T03:30:00). (The end time may be extended -- see below.) - If two people bid at the same price, the person who bid first will have his slots filled first. - Bids are considered invalid and will be ignored if they do not specify both a price and a max quantity, or if they could not possibly win any slots If any valid bids occur less than 30 minutes before the auction end time, then the auction will be extended by 30 minutes. If any valid bids occur less than 30 minutes before the new end time, then the auction will be extended again, etc. The time will not extend beyond 6 hours total. You must pay for your slots within 24 hours of receiving the payment address. Otherwise your slots may be sold to someone else.

Title: Re: Advertise on this forum - Round 48 Post by: CoinLab on August 24, 2012, 09:24:14 PM CoinLab will bid :
2BTC for 3 slots (0.66 BTC per) If outbid, we'll bid 1.5 BTC for 2 slots (0.75 BTC per) If still outbid, we'll bid 1 BTC for 1 slot. We'll be adverting the CoinLab Protected Pool for GPU miners. Title: Re: Advertise on this forum - Round 48 Post by: dree12 on August 24, 2012, 09:38:02 PM CoinLab will bid : Except for your 1@1 bid, this is invalid.2BTC for 3 slots (0.66 BTC per) If outbid, we'll bid 1.5 BTC for 2 slots (0.75 BTC per) If still outbid, we'll bid 1 BTC for 1 slot. We'll be adverting the CoinLab Protected Pool for GPU miners. - All bid prices must be evenly divisible by 0.5. Unless you revise your bid, I assume it does not currently control any slots.

We'll be adverting the CoinLab Protected Pool for GPU miners. I addition to the problem dree12 mentioned, you can't set up future bids like this. Title: Re: Advertise on this forum - Round 48 Post by: theymos on August 24, 2012, 09:40:59 PM I might lower the minimum increment and minimum bid next time. I just realized that 0.5 BTC is fairly high-value now.
Title: Re: Advertise on this forum - Round 48 Post by: CoinLab on August 24, 2012, 09:46:40 PM Fair enough. We'd prefer lower bid increments in the future.
New bid - 1BTC each for 2 slots. (2BTC total) Title: Re: Advertise on this forum - Round 48 Post by: theymos on August 24, 2012, 09:49:06 PM Slots BTC Person

Next week's slots (round 47) are already sold, so I should have had this auction end around the 3rd of September instead of now...
I'll wait a while to start another auction thread. Title: Re: Advertise on this forum - Round 48 Post by: cablepair on August 27, 2012, 03:42:11 PM Whoops, I made a mistake with the timing.
