Well done! Hope it fills with traffic...

Bookmarked  :)

Thank you, did you register ?

Looks great, registered.

Bitcoins to you  :D

Is it only me or is the site terribly slow on some occasions?

Seems like we're having some issues with the server after we had so much users join on such short notice. We're working on it.

Issues have been fixed. Come and get some free bitcoins  :)

Interesting  :)

Bitcoins sent and welcome  :)

Yes, we had our IPO a while back. Our account is verified by glbse staff already.

Registered :D

And you have the bitcoins waiting for you :)

Is there a way to subscribe to new questions, or new questions with such-and-such a tag?

Yes, you are auto-subscribed to questions you answer or you can click "subscribe-me" button on the right panel.
On the main page you can add or ignore tags in the tag admin block. It has the "Interesting tags" and "Ignored tags" in it. Only works when logged in that's why you probably didn't see it.

Sorry, that's not what I meant.
I mean, can I be notified (email, RSS) when someone asks a new question? Because right now, all the good ones are taken.

I just registered  :)

I have the same name (ildubbioso)

Bitcoins sent and welcome :)

Yes, indeed, you will have set-up your notifications of your account. Click"User tools" in your your profile dashboard, then "email notification settings". Under the line that reads "Auto subscribe me to:" you can check one all of the option you have there

New user here! Good luck with this project!

Registered. Usename "tosku".

What are your plans to monetise the platform wrt advertising etc ?

Thank you. Bitcoins in your account already :)

Coins sent and welcome

Thank you!

In order to support the servers and bandwidth costs the service keeps 5% from a question's reward, faq (http://www.rugatu.com/faq/).
We didn't look into advertising yet, but is definitely a must.

Theres lots of possibilities there. For example you could charge advertisers to ask questions about their service or site and share part of the income with people who answer it. Its  a good way to do market research etc.

Disclosure: I bought some shares  :D

Check you a PM  :)

I signed up as user 'dooglus'.

Coins sent and welcome  :)

I'll bite. Username "Tittiez"

You have them already :)

Is the verification message sent out as html only or something?

Using my web-based mail service, I only see the text:
 "[Rugatu] - Your email validation link Rugatu"

My webmail does not show it as a link. 

I've had this problem before with another service, and the only way to fix it was for multipart e-mail to include a plain text version as well.

I'm interested in investing in your company, but am a bit hesitant about the lack of information.  Here are some questions I have:

- Who are you?  How many people are on your team?  What are their qualifications?
- Do the 10,000 shares constitute 100% of the company?  How many shares does the team plan on retaining?
- What are your plans to grow and/or advertise Rugatu?
- What is your development roadmap?  If you make $1000 profit tomorrow, how will you spend it, or will you pay out dividends with it?  What about $5000?
- Which of the asks on GLBSE are the IPO (yours)?  the two 100s, the 887, and the 50?

Thanks for your time.  It's great to see a truly innovative service on GLBSE like this. 

Also, you may want to create a topic in the Securities section which contains the answers to these sort of questions -- I am sure other's will be interested in your answers.

Cheers!

If i'm not mistaken, the emails also include the link in clear text so, if your email service does not filter them, it should show up. Try using other email service and report back.

RaggedMonk, I will have to get back to you on that, with a proper answer.

Cool service.  Look forward to seeing how it develops.

Yup, sending to a different mail service I see a text/plain part as well as a text/html.

So now I have no idea why I couldn't see it with the first one.  Maybe it was trying to render the HTML and couldn't.

Anyway, workaround followed and problem (for me) now solved.

Great, glad it did. What's your rugatu account, gift coins are waiting here.

A more proper answer has been posted in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=87390

Thanks for having patience with us.

Looks like an interesting project, I'm curious to see how it develops. Registered.

Ok, so, call me a little crazy, but I see a (potential) issue with your site.

Take, for instance, the user "Gweedo."  If you look at his karma history, he down-votes virtually everyone and does not up-vote anyone.  Furthermore, these down-votes seem to frequently occur in the questions that he answers, and ironically, the answers that he seems to down-vote are often 'strong' answers that have received up-votes from others.  Now, this may be a coincidence, but I think we all know what's going on here.

So, I have a suggestion:  Don't allow people to down-vote on questions that they answer.  Also, if someone does issue a down-vote to an answer of a particular question, make it so that that user cannot submit an answer to the same question.  Simple.

Thanks for your suggestion, we will consider it  :)
We have it posted on our ideas board (http://rugatu.uservoice.com/forums/165024-general/suggestions/2926453-don-t-allow-people-to-down-vote-on-questions-that-)

rugatu User Support is responsable for Stealing bitcoin deposited to the site held in its user accounts.

stolen coins returned.  Mention of them was posted in multiple rugatu threads, I am in the process of deleteing them, and only leaving the couple responses hear, stating that it occured, and the theft portion has been corrected.  The censorship has not.

took a bunch of posts to get the attention.

rugatu can regain my support, going to take some changes in the way the mods handle things.

you can delete opticbit2 acct and posts if you like except the post found at

https://www.rugatu.com/questions/768/could-you-integrate-ripple-into-a-social-network?page=1#841

that links to (which you modded out once already)

https://apps.facebook.com/yougotcoin/

and

https://raindroplet.info/summary/

I believe these links are relavant to the question, and the discussion, Its not the best answer but could be useful for someone to create the best answer.

Maybe you should file a complaint with the Spanish authorities, ha

stochastic you post has been reported to moderators as a personal attack on paraipan

Closing this thread.

Please contact us by using the "feedback" button on rugatu.

Thread reopened  :)

Why are you closing threads, may I ask?

Various reasons, but the most important would be a very high workload for our support team. We're truly sorry if someone wanted to ask something in a thread that was previously closed. Please use our feedback system in case you have an issue that needs urgent attention.

Thanks

For those of you who aren't caught up to speed yet, I provided evidence to Rugatu that one of their moderators, edgar_t, was manipulating questions unfairly.  Rugatu subsequently suspended edgar_t.  Now, I'd like Rugatu to respond to these:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=88431.msg975376#msg975376 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=88431.msg975376#msg975376)

My question is as follows:  Don't you think that some of these users should be suspended as well (the one's that work for Rugatu), especially User Support and paraipan?

the joint check your PM

Edit: We got threatened by the joint in PM, regarding some users having high karma. We explained it was the first days osqa bootstrap mode (http://meta.osqa.net/questions/98/what-does-bootstrap-mode-mean) at fault but he doesn't seem to be pleased with the answer and is requiring us to suspend allot of our users which we can't do.

Rugatu wishes to tell we're very sorry for having used the osqa "bootstrap mode" in the first days of our beta launch. Some of our users got way too much reputation without deserving it and now we got allot of complaints over the issue.

If any of you plans to start-up a community like ours in the future, try not using this mode at all.

Second. UserSupport is one of our main administration accounts and it was used wrongly for voting or posting on the forum by our team members. His opinion was sometimes biased depending on who was responsible of it at any moment. We are truly sorry about it, lesson learned and it will not happen again.

Please contact us on Rugatu with any questions you may have.


Edit:

In the first week we've been attacked by various people, or a coordinated team, who started down-voting members, posting referral links and nonsense answers or we suspect even ddos'ing our servers. Some of them got suspended for abusing the service but now, after almost two weeks have passed, they continue to attack us by posting lies and defamatory statements in the community.

We could try arguing with them but it would be a complete waste of energy and time, so we invite you to use Rugatu and convince for yourself if they are telling the truth. The beta launch wasn't perfect but we managed to handle the workload and the service is working fine now.

This ball is rolling, ¡viva el BTCitcoin!
