4381  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: [ANN] Mellow Ads - simple, bitcoin advertising - advertise from 0.001BTC per day on: July 01, 2015, 08:54:39 AM
Sorry guys, the initial 0.001 BTC free advertising credit promotion finished last week (25th June) Sad

The good news is that we are currently well into the development of the CPM and CPC campaigns, which should hopefully be available on the system sometime next week Smiley

Will CPC work exactly how CoinURLs works?

I'm not familiar with how CoinURL works but this is roughly how our CPM and CPC campaigns will work (both will be unique view/click)...

1) Publisher will need to opt in each of his ad spaces to CPM and/or CPC and then set a CPM price (i.e. cost for each thousand unique views) and a CPC price (i.e. cost for each unique click)
2) CPM...
    a) Advertiser selects an ad space that is CPM enabled
    b) Specifies how many blocks of 1000 unique views they want
    c) Pays in full for the total unique views at the publishers CPM price
    d) The advert is shown in the ad space until it reaches the specified number of unique views - if there are multiple CPM/CPC campaigns running on the ad space then the ads will be rotated.
        Therefore, during this time the ad space will not display any network ads so will not earn any share of the network pool!
    e) At the end of each day the publisher is paid for whatever unique views have been delivered that day (100% of the paid price, 0% Mellow Ads fee!)
3) CPC...
    a) Advertiser selects an ad space that is CPC enabled
    b) Specifies how many unique clicks they want
    c) Pays in full for the total unique clicks at the publishers CPC price
    d) The advert is shown in the ad space until it reaches the specified number of unique clicks - if there are multiple CPM/CPC campaigns running on the ad space then the ads will be rotated.
        Therefore, during this time the ad space will not display any network ads so will not earn any share of the network pool!
    e) At the end of each day the publisher is paid for whatever unique clicks have been delivered that day (100% of the paid price, 0% Mellow Ads fee!)

Paying daily at the end of each day allows us to do 2 things...
1) Bigger window to run our bot/fraud detection systems - if we detect this then we can prevent publisher payment (and probably ban the publisher!), and refund the advertiser
2) Ensures that the publisher keeps the ad space active for the duration

Hope this makes sense!

Do network ads still fill in when there's no CPM/CPC, or does opting into those as a publisher mean those blocks are SOLELY for CPC/CPM and until someone buys in, you get nothing at all?
4382  Other / Politics & Society / ELI5: The Greece Situation and Impact on: July 01, 2015, 08:50:12 AM
Hey all... I'm hoping someone can help break this down to me. The only people I know of to ask have basically said the situation makes no sense. Maybe you can help understand the events.

Essentially, what I'm understanding in regards to the U.S. (at least) and Greece is:

1) We don't really import from them or export to them on a "emergency" basis (i.e., like if China cut off exporting to the U.S., being that they are a huge part of our economy)
2) They're not hugely invested in our economy/currency

As a result, why are they having such a huge impact on our stocks and such? There doesn't seem to be any importance to the U.S. in regards to the situation (not saying it's not a big deal, but in regards to its effect on the U.S., it seems negligible, yet the stock markets are all seeing impacts).

Furthermore, people have said it won't impact BTC because Greeks can't remove their funds from banks, meaning they can't buy into BTC.

Can someone help shed some light on what I (and we, I guess) are missing? Why are things so hectic?

Edit: No "you're stupid and don't understand." I know I'm ignorant in regards to this, which is the point of asking for someone to help get what's happening. I've never dealt with anything like this (or probably wasn't old enough to understand), so this is a completely new area to me, Smiley.
4383  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is Holding Bitcoin a long time good way to make money? on: July 01, 2015, 08:45:28 AM
The price is slowly going up and although it would be called just speculation at this point I think we'll be getting over 300 in a week or so, it could be due to what's happening in Greece, people are not being allowed their own money kept in their accounts and Banks are showing their true evil face, think about if it happened to you. Do you really want to keep your money in banks any more? I don't, I'll hodl mine in Bitcoin and it time it will bring a nice ROI.

While I don't fully understand the Greece situation, based on what I've read, it would have little to no impact on Bitcoin, as the issue is people are trying to get their money and can't (in which case they also can't buy into BTC). Any growth at this point I'd take as being organic, due to the massive strides being made by various projects and businesses.

Confirmed! Any chance you can add a balance to the front page as well, so it's easier to tell when it's ready? As it is, we have to keep trying to claim until you update this thread or until it works.

Signatures are used to verify transactions. This page explains transactions: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction

Basically, someone that wants to spend bitcoins sent to an address creates a transaction providing the public key of the address and signs the transaction using the private key. The address, public key, and signature are validated.

I want to add on to this as well. Being able to verify your address ownership like this is ONLY POSSIBLE IF YOU HOLD THE COINS IN A WALLET WHERE YOU CONTROL THE PRIVATE KEY. Far too many people are getting themselves in trouble by latching on to systems that don't give this access. I needed to verify one of my addresses before and it was one I had through Coinbase. Completely screwed me as I couldn't verify it since I didn't have the private key.

If you're ever in doubt as to whether or not you'll need to sign a transaction, make sure you have private key access. Coinbase and similar services are awesome when you don't need this, but keep safe.
4386  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: paying no transaction fee on: July 01, 2015, 08:33:22 AM
If you set your wallet to pay zero transaction fee what happens? Is there more than one possibility.

It makes sense that no transaction fee means that you get no priority, but will the transaction always be processed eventually? If yes, what is the maximum time frame? If no, is there a maximum time limit before it bounces back? Could it be stuck in limbo for months?

It will be confirmed eventually. If we consider the priority of the bitcoin day (1 bitcoin, 144 (1d) confirmations, 1 input, 1 output) and that its linear (.1 BTC, 1440 confirmations) the highest number of confirmations you would have to sit out in order to get a reasonable high priority would be for a 1000 Satoshi TX. A TX spending less than 546 satoshi is considered dust and would not get relayed by most nodes. This input would need 100,000 days or 14,400,000 confirmations to get a reasonable high priority for a confirmation without fee.

Depending on your wallet software or service the TX will get constantly rebroadcasted to make sure no nodes forget about it.

If you have a low fee and you cant stop the rebroadcasting the TX might be "in limbo" for months, yes.

With this said, I've sent transactions of 0.01+ before and they seem to confirm in a decent amount of time. I just did it for testing and it was back in 2013 or so, though. I haven't done any lately like that. I also sent a transaction for like 3 mBTC at one point and forgot to add a fee. It took ~37 hours to confirm.
4387  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Low transaction fee :( on: July 01, 2015, 08:31:16 AM
So, I have a medium Priority transaction that is not confirming, I know I have to wait but just wanted to know if this is happened to any of you and how long have you actually waited?...

I have read that it can take up to a week if you dont pay any fees, but I did, I paid the normal fee that Electrum charges me and it was always fine, only this time it is "medium priority"

Anywayz, here is the transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/ca044196bde76b52dc49f3f3b4d3f4c1ae493d92fa4f5b45dd35ec1ca9fbc33a

Thanks!

To answer this question (I know it has been confirmed now), you really need 0.0002 BTC in fees to be competitive. Most places use 0.0001 BTC or higher. When you go lower than 0.0001, I believe it's almost the equivalent to not adding any fees at all (i.e., sending the transaction with NO fees). That said, they will still confirm, once it's gotten to the point where its age has brought it to a more "desirable" state.

4389  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Legality or Illegality of using other peoples computer to mine coins on: July 01, 2015, 08:26:55 AM
Ofcourse it's illegal if the other party doesn't know about it. But then again what they won't know won't matter to them. So as long as you keep it a secret and don't rape their cpu too hard (so they won't be able to use the pc properly) then sure go ahead if you can do it in secret.

I wouldn't say "illegal." Unethical? Sure. But you could easily just add a ToS (which nobody seems to read) that notifies them, and then even if it DID go to court, I doubt anything would happen.

That said, @OP: even if you had millions of computers mining for 12 hours a day, you'd make almost nothing. You would literally earn MORE off working for $6 an hour than you would off spending the same amount of time trying to write the code to do the mining.
4390  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is Holding Bitcoin a long time good way to make money? on: July 01, 2015, 08:23:51 AM
In general, isn't holding BTC always a good thing since the price of it is pretty low now?

yes it is. if somebody recently asked me "is good time to buy for longterm", I'm generally saying "yes, for sure, and doesn't matter if one BTC is for 220 or 260". Based on various projections and articles, we are still in very early stage and if you buy something even today, you will be considered as early adopter..ofc if bitcoin succeed...

and holding? ohh buy, I love holding so much...it is so cool, really:)

Seriously... nobody knows this answer. It's all subjective. Bitcoin could die in a month. It could have some fatal flaw that demolishes its value. X could happen. Y could happen. Anyone claiming it's this foolproof method of increasing wealth is delusional. If it was that foolproof, guess what: every major investor would be pouring 100% of their funds in it. After all, a 100% way to increase wealth is a hell of a lot better than going after mediocre 6-7% APY stocks that often have down years.

when i will claim your faucet just found warning message

"The wallet you are withdrawing from does not have enough available balance to fulfill the Credit"

what is the problem there? i think you have to add funds your faucet

Read his previous post... it's on the same page as this one. He's in the middle of some changes. I'm sure he'll let us know when it's ready.

I have to recharge my wallet first, Wink

Any ETA? Smiley

The site isn't up yet. He'll update us here when it's live and ready to use, Smiley.

//changes here

I like the new changes! Can you add in a counter that shows how many rolls you have towards the next ticket (under # of tickets earned)? Basically, I see it as being like this:

Tickets Earned: 105
Progress to Next Ticket: 392/500

Or even change the progress to be a % (such as 59%).

This helps see the progress as it comes, instead of having to wait until it finally rolls over.

Yes, we'll be adding a bunch of changes related to raffle tickets. Coming soon to a website near you  Cool

Great to hear! I like where the site is going, and feeling like I'm in on the ground level of it is awesome, :p.

oh so you have access to a atm card and youll pay someone 10% to be on camera withdrawing the funds and then send you bitcoin? seems legit

Come on. He just wants bitcoins. Under your name. Tied to your personal identity. With the IRS evaluating you (since, like he said, he wants 100k worth, which is WELL above the $10k before the IRS is notified). From another country. Anonymously. Using an ATM card that may or may not be his... for an account that may or may not be his.

I'm not seeing the problem. You should be JUMPING at the chance!

Oh, since you put it that way...

Quit being so sarcastic. This is a wonderful opportunity... I mean, look. You can either take this as a "glass half full" or a "glass half empty" scenario:

Half empty: You get $10k in free money for doing almost no work
Half full: You get free housing, three meals a day, and all the non-consensual sex you could possibly want, plus the ability to work out, take learning courses, and learn survival skills

I'm fine with 7mBTC, sent you a PM.

Responded. Also, currently pending, anyone reading this. Though I did run into a snag (the site won't allow you to create a voucher for partial mBTCs, so when I tried to generate for the full amount -- 20.35 as of this writing -- it always goes down to 20). Waiting to see minifrij's response, but consider it pending out as of now.

Added a new features whereas you can specific a ticket you would like to claim. However, the ticket should not be owned by someone before your claim. Also, to make things faster, the referral system will only be one level. You still stand a 5% to 10% chance to get a free ticket when your referral roll. Website is set to be launched at 0700 2nd July 2015 - GMT +0000 - if everything go smooth.

By specifying a ticket you'd like to claim, do you mean like being able to say "I want ticket #79" and then if it's still available, it's yours? Or did you mean something different?
4400  Economy / Gambling / Re: BetterBets.io - Bitcoin Casino ★DICE★HORSE RACING★Introducing NEW Power PLINKO! on: June 30, 2015, 06:29:10 AM
I'd like to make a custom request. If ($winner != "ranlo") {reDraw()}

Without adding a special command line for the drawing, you can always set your raffle percentage which you want to submit into 0 % instead (slider max to the left ) on your account tab and hit the save button. Also that Lobos is pretty obsessive compulsive with his code so adding that will get him an extra headache  Tongue and saving your tickets for next month will get you huge advantage for the next raffle ( or you can save it until they announce a lamborghini as the main prize )



However tough luck that neither of us will stand a chance for this raffle as there are two heavy rollers that aim for this raffle. Winner will be pretty much either hyipexa or BTCevo

I'm actually saving up some of my tickets. With the current amount (as of the last post where it was calculated), I sit at ~3% of the pool. I am really debating just saving all instead -- a 97% chance of failure seems pretty high!

I think what would be neat for the future would be to have multiple prizes (smaller) instead of bigger ones. It's why we have mining pools and a lot of other things -- it reduces variance. I'd rather have a 15% chance at $10 than a 5% chance at $30.
