Title: Who puts up these advertisements ??
Post by: apoorvlathey on June 01, 2017, 05:57:14 PM
Occasionally, I come across few quotes about bitcoins in the advertisement area below the OP.
Eg:
They state that these advertisements are not endorsed by the forum, so which company issues them ? The second one may come from electrum, but the first one ?

He's not actually on about the forum ads but the factoid slots that appear occasionally instead of ads (1 in 610 chance).

More details and full list of them here: https://bitcointalk.org/adrotate.php?adinfo

Interesting facts, funny quotes, hints, info, and ads given away to supporters.

I'm not sure if any ones have been added in a very long time.

Edit. More info:

If anyone has any suggestions for new factoids, post them here and I might add them. Factoids should be:
- Interesting, informative, or funny. The ones I wrote (most of them) are mainly focused on Bitcoin technology and history, but other Bitcoin-relevant topics could also be discussed.
- Not obvious to 99% of readers. Ideally, readers will learn something from the factoids, and maybe even be surprised.
- Not offensive
- Less than ~250 characters
- Very unobtrusive. (Much less flashy than regular forum ads.)

I probably won't add factoids that consist only of links. The factoids are supposed to be interesting in themselves. (Donators each get to choose a factoid, which explains some of the existing links and strangeness within the factoids.)

Each one of the factoids has a 1 in 610 chance, but the chance of getting a factoid in general has a 1 in 10 chance usually. (Occasionally I disable factoids for an ad round.)

May I ask what fact is this factoid trying to convey ?

You can have a look at this
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=309301.0

Donators, VIPs and Staff get one factoid ad slot. This is Matthew N Wright's.
