So... You're not renting a server but purchasing one? I'm a little confused right now.
I said if I would have enough funds and market capacity to recoup expenditures I would buy a physical server. Renting a VPS with guaranteed resources is bad idea for resource-consuming service, IMHO. I tried 2.4GHZ/1GB RAM XEN VPS, but it is not enough (works even slower than average non-peak time on the current shared hosting). Renting a server with resources I need would cost $100-200 per month, which is equivalent 1.5 years to fully payoff it. You must have trust issues and it is understandable.
But I'm not a anonymous entity, never ment to be.
No personal, I just don't want to locate server in the USA! |

Carlos L., you incorrectly understood me!
I told about physical server purchase, but you are suggesting me to rent it from some anonymous unincorporated entity, located in the USA (which can easily suspend my account any time for any reason).

Why don't you try to make some profit by taking fees somewhere between the advertiser and the affiliate, and buy a dedicated/virtual server for your websites? I know reducing other people's profit is not the perfect solution, but I can't think of any one better though.
I am already charging 25% "compulsory donation" from all withdrawals, but Bitcoin ads market is so tiny that without an investor I would be able to buy even small dedicated server (~$3k) not earlier that after a year. |

paraipan, as I said later, I am unable to setup memcached right now because have no root access to the server and hosting support don't work at weekends.
P.S. Problems you see rather frequently are caused by hosting's server overload triggered by all it's customers. In the "rush hours" (occurs regularly few times a week) total query flow on all sites (not only CoinURL, but hundreds others which physically reside on this server) becomes so high, that even simple pages without many queries (like Daily Bitcoins, which located on the same hosting) load very slow.
Memcached may help, but I don't think much. The main problem is that shared hosting for large services like CoinURL are unsuitable, but profit is very far from enough to buy decent dedicated server.

Do you need some help setting up mysql cacheing and the memcached daemon on your vps?
BTW, just few hours ago I called hosting's admin and he suggested the same (memcached)  So I will try to enable it for CoinURL scripts. Unfortunately I have no root access to the hosting's server and support don't work at weekends, therefore I could be able to deploy changes only on beginning of next week. |

Issue with the payment notification service have been solved!

Payment notification service we use seems to have some issues now.
If you made a deposit and funds were not credited, write me an e-mail to process the deposit manually.

I did notice that the prize counter does not seem to go down after the vouchers are (presumably) won.
Time you see in the payout schedule just indicates a moment when the prize or voucher become ready to be given out for the first user who makes a payout request. |

Author wrote a post about CoinURL in his blog without fully understanding how CoinURL work. My comments about it: 1. On the first image you hide status of the impression. Impressions made by automatic tools (bots) are being rejected and you have not to pay for them. 2. If you don't want to receive traffic from some publishers which you are considering to be junk, block them in the Targeting options. |

I'm not sure this is an upgrade. If I don't want to promote my website what I can do with such a voucher?
These vouchers are given away in a bundle with traditional prizes. If you don't need advertising, just don't use voucher or try to sell it to someone else who need |

There are only a very few 'advertisers' in this part of the town. Now like every other advertiser, they are not going to pay over and over again for the same IP to click and click the ads, they can't.
If they did, it would give them a bad rep, and the people who advertise through them would stop. If I was an advertiser, I would not want that either, I am paying for 'unique' visits, not the same person going to 40 sites to grab the money and not give a crap about what
Clicks of the CoinURL ads are counted only for unique visitors within 24 hours. That means if someone have clicked your ad many times on different sites, you will pay only for ONE click. |

a simple question as i cant find any information about it:
what is the min/max for url shortening income per 1k visitor?
greetings
For 1k impressions most probably you will have value very close to the average, i.e. about 0.027 BTC. https://coinurl.com/stats-global.php |

If (during the waiting time)
a viewer could upgrade their prize, for a better prize,
they might spend More time going after the better prizes.?
Prizes are paid our every hour, so if you want to get better prize just return after short time. |
