This is very sad... I didn't even know that he was sick. He was with the community for a long time, and he was a very good person.

Does anyone know how to contact his family? Someone should immediately tell them that paraipan had at least 250 BTC of the forum's money (and probably more personal money) hidden away somewhere, so they shouldn't throw away any of his stuff. I'll eventually (after an appropriate period of time) need to contact them about returning the forum's money. Hopefully recovery is possible.

The forum sells ad space in the area beneath the first post of every topic page. About 25% of ad income goes to the forum moderators as thanks for all of their work. (There are many moderators, so each moderator gets only a small amount -- moderators should be seen as volunteers, not employees.) The rest is stored in the forum's treasury (verifiably), where it sits until the forum needs it.

Ads are 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 (Firefox, 700px wide). 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, and I may remove ads even after they are accepted.

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 at least 7 days starting from when I put it up. (However, if you look at the ad history you'll see that ads usually get at least 8 days, and sometimes as many as 10, but this is random and definitely not guaranteed.)

Ad blocking

Hero members, Donators, VIPs, and moderators have the ability to disable ads. I don't expect many people to use this option. These people don't increase the impression counts for your ads.

I try to bypass Adblock Plus filters as much as possible, though this is not guaranteed. It is difficult or impossible for ABP filters to block the ad space itself without blocking posts. However, filters can match against the URLs in your links, your CSS classes and style attributes, and the HTML structure of your ads.

To prevent matches against URLs: I have some JavaScript which fixes links blocked by ABP. You must tell me if you want this for your ads. When someone with ABP and JavaScript enabled views your ads, your links are changed to a special randomized bitcointalk.org URL which redirects to your site when visited. People without ABP are unaffected, even if they don't have JavaScript enabled. The downsides are:
- ABP users will see the redirection link when they hover over the link, even if they disable ABP for the forum.
- Getting referral stats might become even more difficult.
- Some users might get a warning when redirecting from https to http.

To prevent matching on CSS classes/styles: Don't use inline CSS. I can give your ad a CSS class that is randomized on each pageload, but you must request this.

To prevent matching against your HTML structure: Use only one <a> and no other tags if possible. If your ads get blocked because of matching done on something inside of your ad, you are responsible for noticing this and giving me new ad HTML.

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.

I reserve the right to reject bids, even days after the bid is made. In particular, bids from people with less than 15 activity points are likely to be rejected. I recommend not getting into a bidding war with someone who has less than 15 activity points, as their bids might not be accepted, but your latest bids will still stand. If you need to know right away whether someone's bids will be accepted, PM me.

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.

The notation "2 @ 5" means 2 slots for 5 BTC each. Not 2 slots for 5 BTC total.

- 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 0.05.
- The bidding starts at 0.50.
- I will end the auction at an arbitrary time no more than 12 days from now. (I will probably end the auction 1-3 days before the ads are scheduled to go up.)
- 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 these rules are confusing, look at some of the past forum ad auctions to see how it's done.

You must pay for your slots within 24 hours of receiving the payment address. Otherwise your slots may be sold to someone else.

New disks were added. We were running out of space. We actually had/have 6 SSDs, but they're in RAID arrays, so the usable space was limited. We added two 500 GB conventional drives in RAID 1.

Auction ended. Final result:
4 2.85 BITMAIN
4 2.80 CEX

Unfortunately, you've been scammed. Sorry. In the future, you should always carefully check that people requesting money are who they say they are.

I cooperate with police in scam investigations. I can provide them with the scammer's IP addresses and other account info. If you get police involved, have them email me from an official police address.

Done.

The forum will be down for 15-45 minutes tomorrow (April 25) starting around 8 PM UTC.

Bicknellski is in the default trust network via CanaryInTheMine. You should contact him.

That's already in the requirements:



(This sounds complicated, but there will probably be an easy-to-use UI for simple tasks such as subscribing to a single user's ignore list.)

I think that he actually wants to ban "misquotes". But these are often useful, so I'm not going to disallow them.

It's Gitian. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/gitian-building.md for some info about Bitcoin's use of it.

All edits are recorded, so I can confirm/deny whether someone did this if I'm asked.

Yes. The official binary is compiled in a special environment that can be exactly replicated so that the binary can be verified. It's a bit difficult to set up, though.

Auction ended. bobsag3 wins.

Done.

I can do it. Post the details here or PM me. The new OP must agree to it.

Two forum ad slots in the current round are available. You will get 4-8 days of ad time if you send me your ad immediately after you win this auction. See the normal ad auction topic for more info, including ad rules:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=571118.0

This auction is for two slots. You cannot bid on just one slot.

Special ad rules:
- If you haven't advertised with the forum before, keep your ad simple. Otherwise, it is likely to be invalid and be rejected.
- No sites that did not exist 30 days ago.
- No banks or investment services.
- I reserve the right to reject any service.

Auction rules:
- You must have at least 60 activity to participate.
- All bid prices must be evenly divisible by 0.001 BTC.
- The bidding starts at 1.5 BTC.
- The auction will end 8-15 hours from the time of this post, chosen arbitrarily.
- I can reject bids, even long after they are made. If I do, the next-highest bidder wins, even if their bid is higher than it would have been without the rejected bids.
- If it is not obvious from looking at your forum profile, you must say in your first bid which service you will be advertising.
- If you don't pay after winning, I will give you negative trust.

Hmm... I thought that the leaked memory would only include OpenSSL-specific stuff, but I did some more research and I think you're right: user passwords could have possibly been leaked, though it would have been difficult.

I'll log everyone out and add this info to the header.

If your software is better than the software that Slickage creates, then I will of course use yours. You'd have to be very skilled and dedicated to compete with several full-time programmers, though.

The requirements are here:

They may be modified slightly in the future, but that'll be the base.
