Thanks for your feedback. You are right, it should be done.

hm... inflation? if you mean emission, it is only about 35% a year and is doomed to decline.. do you want to say the market is growing even slower? I doubt it. the downtrend we saw is just a consequence of a bubble & broken expectations.. not sure if it is somehow related to real economy

I agree with bitfoo. Moreover, there is no significant difference between people and bots. The difference is only in level of automation of decision process and speed. Some people automate their analysis (for example use different indicators) but take decisions and make orders manually. Others write high frequency bots and don't care about long term analysis. Limiting bots doesn't make any sense. To my mind it is the same as forbidding to use graphs, indicators, excel, etc.

I've added a rough and simple mechanism to specify the level of affiliate's tolerance to evil via parameter "Filtration level". Set it to 100 if you own a web-site for innocent kids who live in the country with strict laws and censorship, or set it to 0 if you don't care and nothing is forbidden in your country

Ads are subjectively rated by me. New ads have default rating of 0. If ad's rating is lower than affiliate's filtration level then this ad won't be shown on that affiliate's sites.

Thanks for your feedback. This is a very important, but difficult issue. I understand that many people wouldn't like any XXX ads to be displayed on their sites (in some countries it could be even unlawful).

Frankly speaking I wanted to rely on spirit of freedom and free market (which would decrease the frequency of XXX ads on sites which are not visited by target groups). If people support the idea of pre-moderation... well.. I can implement it. Or is there any other efficient & reliable way to prevent adult (and other controversial) ads from being displayed?

Update: oh, I think I got it. There could be a special category for safe ads (which could be filled manually by me). Affiliates would have an option to show all ads (unmoderated), or to show ads from that category. I think it is feasible. Easy to implement. Will do it tomorrow.

Thanks! If there is a need for graphic banners - I'll add support of them (shouldn't be too hard to do). But at the moment I think it would be wise to see if system works fine before adding new features to it

Hi!

I developed Anonymous Ads - advertising network that accepts bitcoins.

This service is quite unusual:

• It is fully transparent, it doesn't collect any personal data, database backups are published daily.
  
• It allows advertising on sites, blogs, forum posts or signatures (as I do: ), etc.
  
• It uses unusual mechanism to distribute impressions: the probability of ad to be shown for particular publisher (affiliate) depends on historical profitability of that ad for that affiliate during last <billing cycle> days. Please see how it works for details.
  
• It appends ad's link with bitcoin address to enable advertisers to pay for action (see goal tracking) to avoid paying for inefficient traffic.
  

The general idea is simple:

1. Advertisers pay to bootstrap their ads thus getting some (up to 10%) impressions from affiliates. This money goes to Anonymous Ads (currently 10% of them goes to affiliate that referred the advertiser and 50% goes to support affiliates that have their codes on listed sites).

2. Advertisers reward appropriate affiliates to get more (up to 90%) impressions from them (see details). This money are being redirected to affiliates' withdrawal addresses (when income hits the threshold of 0.011 btc) with a small fee of 0.001 btc.

So, advertisers post their ads, pay for bootstrapping to the system and later pay for successful visits to affiliates.

Affiliates register their withdrawal addresses, embed HTML codes into their sites and receive payments from advertisers. They also receive 10% from bootstrap payments of advertisers referred by them. And they also receive some support from Anonymous Ads if they add their sites to the list (see details).

Anonymous Ads is in alpha-stage yet, I will be grateful for any questions, comments and bug reports.

Thanks to members and advertisers!

no, it is not.. maybe I'll publish it in future.. haven't decided yet if it is worth of doing )

yes, exactly

not sure I fixed it though... the problem could be connected with browser settings as well. for example, if cookies are disabled, then it is not supposed to work

Thanks for the hint, N.Olmos. Since it is not the first complain, it could be a server-side problem as well (for example, server could suddenly remove session variables before session cookie expired). I modified the code so that sponsor id is stored in a separate cookie. Hope the problem is gone.

0.01 btc has been sent to your withdrawal address, thanks for joining Bitcoin Pyramid

in this hypothetical situation when you buy a book of Amazon, Amazon can provide you a receipt with unique bitcoin address and delivery address, signed by its private key. then you will be able to prove that the payment has been sent to that address, but the book has not been delivered (and it doesn't matter who ordered the book, paid for it or was going to receive it)

oh.. this tiny volatility or about ~10% for 2 days? great achievement

just usual market volatility, which may move the price to 100$/btc or 0.01$/btc... equal chances

I think those walls are made by bots, and they the bots can create big walls as easy as dozens of small ones. We see what they want us to see, so don't pay much attention to bids & asks

wow.. nice site! you can join Bitcoin Pyramid for free and post your referral link as well (to the GAMES section), maybe earn something...

Why not to consider the "Б" sign? It also has a horizontal line (on the top), it looks more balanced, pronounced as "Be" and is present in all Cyrillic fonts

Thanks for ideas, I agree that it would be nice to have more detailed stats on the member's and ad's pages. Unfortunately this kind of info is not being saved in the database. Probably daily/weekly ads stats could be reconstructed from database backups. Amount of money missed due to insufficient deposit could be also reconstructed to some extent from history (though it wouldn't be accurate since there is no way to consider the impact of missed random referrals and missed random payments). Not sure if I can implement it quickly & securely, need to think it over.
