First month FREE - Use promo code " BITCOINTALK" - Order Now Giving a free bump while asking this publicly (I can't be the only one curious). How long has your business been up and running? Or more specifically, how long has the host been running? And let's say you had to shut down tomorrow for some reason (people close businesses for all sorts of reasons): would there be enough of a heads-up for people to back up/download a backup of their sites? VISFIRM, has been running for just about a year now (which includes the host). Shutting down tomorrow would not be an option. Considering I'm an affiliate marketer and I have several of my own domains hosted, not to mention one of my businesses are all hosted on the same servers I won't be planning on shutting down anytime soon, regardless if the hosting business is bad or not. As for the heads-up for people to back up / download their sites. Backups are done daily. Our solid-state drives are placed in RAID-6 configuration with extra backup drives to ensure data integrity throughout our SSD hosting servers. Awesome to hear, and thanks for answering! Do you happen to have an affiliate program as well? I'm actually working on something somewhat unrelated, but will likely delve a bit into helping refer people to hosting options. Yours is the only BTC-friendly one I've found that isn't ridiculously overpriced ($20+ a month for a crappy package is NOT a good deal). I'm not sure if anything will come of the project in terms of earnings/new signups, but I'll definitely do what I can,  . |

I just heard about a new gambling site which someone has won 10 BTC from the site at 2 days after it launched. And the admin could pay him although it spend 3 days to transferred. The worst thing in business is the owner that never respond his customers complain and it make the company is be unprofessional. It's okay if admin can't pay our claim now, but the main point is admin must respond the complain and try to get solution for this problem.
What does this even mean? I had issues trying to decipher what you're attempting to say... "I just heard... a new gambling site." What does this have to do with BitPoker? |

Can anyone that's able to sync please share their conf file? I've tried loading the client on two systems now and (even deleting peers.dat) can't find any peers.

What are your rates? I have a ton of stuff I need to finish but I've been very lazy recently  I'm wondering this as well. I have a project I may break down into smaller parts to release as I can afford a developer, but I've got a major project overall (3-page design document -- excluding images -- detailing the features, setup, etc.). |

Quality and Cheap do not belong in the same sentence especially since you are trying to sell a service.
wouldn't contact you regarding logos, but good luck.
Technically, cheap is relative, so it's fine (it's in the OP's opinion). For example, Bill Gates may think a $100k car is cheap (as he has billions). Others think a $100 car would be expensive (as they have little). I'm keeping Spy in mind for something I'm working on, but sadly, I need a coder as well, :p. |

I'am really interessted mate , but are all Logo's that much ? I mean I know you put efforts on them but aren't thye a little bit expensive ? I personally want something simple like TechCrunch logo or CoinDesk logo or something .
Hi nothing that i can do ,sometimes it takes a hole day to make 5 samples ,and i don't use templates i create my own symbols/icons etc...And it's not like factory work were you are payed by the hour for doing the same thing over and over again ...it involves creativity ... This x10000. You're not paying for the work itself -- you're paying for the knowledge and ability. Just like with an attorney that gets $180+ an hour. It's not because they worked an hour, it's because they have the knowledge to defend you in court, whereas you can't do it yourself and get the same results. |

I'm not sure that there's much of anything to decide. Devcoins are fairly easy to earn; there's nothing lost to continue to earn them like that. But, to heavily invest a lot of time or resources into them may not be such a good choice right now.
They're not "fairly easy to earn" when you've been contributing for 2+ months and have gotten nothing since you were, for some reason, removed from all of the payout lists. This is the part that bothers me. Basically, the work I've been doing has just been getting other people higher payouts. |

The centralization of creating the csv payouts are what has held it back aswell as supply too high when demand is low.. I've tried to remedy both things with proposals when price was higher but was shot down in a vote by community.. So I can't say I didn't try. I believ you fix these things using prediction markets etc and maybe u can fix devcoin but I thing now other coins do what devcoin does but are better.
Utb stepped aside for hunterbunter and things really haven't been same since.. He still does round updates that's it.
Yeah, it's been 9 days since I tried to get a hold of UTB. No luck. Usually he only gets in touch when a round ends (so every 4-5 weeks). That's just not viable. |

Thanks. I run a few crypto related websites and I thought it would be nice to use some of my unsold ad space for something positive that my visitors may be interested in, and since I own some Hyper I'm giving you some free advertising love  I'll give it at least 100k impressions this month, maybe rotated on a couple of sites. For now its here: http://bitcoinnewsday.com/My sites got over 2 million page views, all from crypto users, last month (across news, tutorials and faucets) - so if anybody wants to send me some tips I would be happy to ramp up the numbers (obviously for a lot less in tips than I would charge for commercial advertising)  HBgs8wqFMgYipZcEvTXwkJ6KK7aGthEcou Can you show analytics for it? I'd like to see what your sources of traffic are. Why do you want to see the traffic sources? Do you run crypto websites also? Not speaking for him but as a potential ad space buyer I would like to know whether my money would be useful or if it would be wasted if it was invested in your site. Traffic sources can easily be generated through programs such as hitleap or that one with the yellow triangle for a logo that gives thousands of hits pretty quickly. This is where analytics come in handy and is a must for people who offer first party ad space. P.S. I own a couple crypto websites, one of which I have free advertising for people set up. Exactly what you said. And I do run a crypto-related site as well, and am planning to expand it soonish. |

I have no idea. I reached out to UTB already about a week ago and still haven't heard back. Not sure what we can do without him, and his absence is causing a lot of issues. We're in limbo until either he does something or he allows someone else to do it.
I got a message from him May 27 asking me to upload round 47 receiver files to my website. What exactly do you mean by "his absence" and being unsure what we can do without him? June 3 - May 27 = 7 days = a week Anyways, he's the only one with access to alter receivers, as far as I'm aware. Things like adding admins to it, bounties, etc. If we can't add people or take people off the list, we're effectively left with no power. If we can't control the project, and he isn't... I don't get what you're missing, lol. It's like working at Walmart and having an issue with your paycheck: "Can I speak to the manager?" "Sorry... not sure where he is" "Who can I get a hold of to fix my payment issue?" "The manager" "Where is he?" "I told you, we have no idea. When he randomly pops in, you can ask him. Until then, you'll just have to work without pay or find another job. Oh, and any money you have earned and continue to earn will just be split among the people that are still on the payroll, so you're effectively working to earn them more money while you get nothing. Sorry dude!" So you're assuming that because we haven't heard from UTB in a week that he's no longer controlling the project? Or is there something else going on? That strikes me as similar to the assumption that was made that because I (and some others) wasn't checking this thread regularly and I missed an announcement about filling out a form with our admin duties, that I had disappeared and wasn't attending to my duties any longer. I probably am missing key information, but not hearing from someone in a week doesn't in and of itself strike me as a huge issue. If that week drags into several weeks or months, then yes, it's a concern. But I get the feeling there are other things going on, and that's probably what I'm missing. What it means is that he's not actively controlling it. If it takes us 1 week to a month to get a hold of him for problems, that's way too long. I had an issue before with a user and it took him almost 5 weeks to get back to me. You can't run a project when someone only shows up once a month for a quick period and then disappears for another month. Issues are then left for up to a month at a time. i.e., you want to add a new user? You can't do it for over a month because he'll show up AFTER the previous month's receivers are generated, and THEN he'll respond (and maybe add them). In other words, it takes new users as many as 2 months to be added. Most people aren't going to want to wait 1/6 of a year just to be added, and then another 1/6 of a year to actually receive anything. There are many other issues with the system now as well, but this whole "wait a month until I return and I'll respond" thing isn't viable for a project. Anyways, you're free to do whatever you want. I've already made my decision. |

I didn't say there was malice involved, but it doesn't change the situation. Here's the deal:
Every month right now, there are 8 BTC or so given out to those that are on the earnings files. If half of us aren't on it and half are, they're getting 2x as much payment while the rest get nothing. 8 BTC is quite a bit to just ignore right now, especially if DVC ever rises (in which case it's now significantly more than 8 BTC per month being misappropriated).
Oh, I get that, and it's disappointing. You're correct about this not being something to ignore. You're also correct about not really being able to access the files and clean things up. What do you recommend as a next step? I have no idea. I reached out to UTB already about a week ago and still haven't heard back. Not sure what we can do without him, and his absence is causing a lot of issues. We're in limbo until either he does something or he allows someone else to do it. |

This is a small update...
I just received one article and i was simply amazed!!!
Quality = 10/10
Originality = 10/10
Delivery time = 11/10 (i received the article the same day!!!)
Content = 10/10 (i ordered a 500 words article, i received a 585 words article!)
Overall = EXCELLENT!!!
I will definately order again, real soon!
Thanks a lot Ranlo!
Hey! Wasn't expecting a review. Thanks for that, . I look forward to seeing what's next! I'm new here and just started going over the forum. This offer sounds good. Will be needing a bunch of articles written soon. I look forward to it! If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know, . |

so we are at almost 2 tx per second(1.7 average) with this new record, it is indeed the time to move on with the tx limit, because the next spike could reach 200k easily
the chart also show perfectly, why one should not look only at the price, others indicators like this are constantly ignored, they are more tied with what will be the future of bitcoin, than anything else
Too many people are focused on price and not its utility. I'd rather the coins be worth a steady $10 each and be easily liquidated than be volatile and not be used often. |

so it's a total mess here. don't you believe it's time to tidy up the room and start all over again? you cannot just sit there and wait for your payment. looks like we are dealing with a state postal office: people doing nothing all day just waiting for their monthly check.
There are only like two people with access to change things. The rest of us CAN'T do anything but wait -- we can't change anything without file access. What you're saying is like saying "you can't wait for Bitcointalk to allow avatars again. You have to do it yourself instead of waiting for them to do it." You can't do something if you have no control over it. |

Quit bitching. Seriously. Like you said, if you have issues with the site because admins aren't responsive, this site is not for you. You have no right to complain anymore.
I've played there, and check in from time to time. And I still have chips there. So yes, I will continue to communicate with admin as I please. You don't even play there ... so why are you posting ass clown? Probably just spamming your signature for a couple satoshi. Good luck with that ... Yeah, I spam my signature across a lot of boards that don't even pay, because that makes sense. I just find it ridiculous that you put me down for saying that the site has issues due to lack of admins being active, and then you turn around later and say basically the same exact thing. Somehow that still makes me "wrong," though. It's really just ironic, . And I played there up until admins basically disappeared. I'd gladly go back if they ever returned and actually started dealing with the site's issues. |

I even responded about my jobs. I even updated the list on the wiki. Yet was still missing at least 2 months of full payments, and one month where I'm missing about 85% of them. I didn't go back past 3 months, but there's likely even more missing. Which means with some of us admins missing payments, all the others that were on the list are OVERPAID for the same period. Basically some of us got screwed big time. This is majorly off-putting to me.
FWIW, they are aware I'm still around. I respond to every inquiry from UTB about hosting the receiver files. I didn't realize I needed to keep checking the payment files to ensure I was still on the list, though. I figured as long as admins are aware I'm still active and am doing my jobs, I'd remain on it. Now I don't even know what to think.
It sounds like you were making some reasonable assumptions. Based on your post I would say that I think some things with how the script is handled, including but not limited to the human factor, got out of whack. I'm guessing that with the DVC price being depressed for so long, doing all the work to keep things neat and clean on the coding end maybe wasn't quite as high a priority as it should have been. Maybe some short cuts were taken, some corners cut to save time. I'm not directly accusing anyone, just presenting a likely scenario. I don't get the impression that there was any malice or desire to cheat anyone involved. I do think any time saved over the past few months will be lost several times over in cleaning things up. I hope that cleanup does get done. I didn't say there was malice involved, but it doesn't change the situation. Here's the deal: Every month right now, there are 8 BTC or so given out to those that are on the earnings files. If half of us aren't on it and half are, they're getting 2x as much payment while the rest get nothing. 8 BTC is quite a bit to just ignore right now, especially if DVC ever rises (in which case it's now significantly more than 8 BTC per month being misappropriated). |

OK who's in charge in here? let's talk about what to do of this coin before it really dies.
First of all, why don't we introduce the halving just as btc. Should be about time now.
anche check your coinzen forum, someone is spamming it like a garbage bin.
No idea who's in charge anymore. Some of us admins have somehow been missing months of payments, despite following through with our jobs during the entire period. There are a lot of fixes that need to be dealt with before things like halving are even talked about, and there are apparently people getting a LOT more coins than they should be. Isn't Unthinkingbit still in charge? I haven't been tracking my payments too well to notice if I've been missing any, other than the last round, because my earnings were zero and that's hard to miss. It looks like they got put back into round 47, though. The part that bugs me, though, is that when I got taken off earnings for my jobs (because I failed to reply to the forum post a month ago), I never got a PM about it. I did get other admin related PMs, though, like please upload the latest receiver file. So I kept doing my duties not realizing that because I didn't reply to a forum post I was about to be able to keep the job but not the pay LOL. In the future, when there's an important change or decision affecting an admin, it's a good courtesy to message us specifically so we are alerted. If you want to add regular forum participation as part of the job description, then that's fine, but since that's not a requirement currently (and was not when we signed on) we should all get PM'd about this change and given a chance to decide to make sure we check in as often as needed to meet the new criteria or quit. I also believe that regardless of what goes on in the other forums, the major information and updates should continue to be posted to this BCT thread. That's how it works with other coins. There are only so many forums one can actively participate in and still remain sane It's basically BCT and one or two others. So major information and updates need to be posted here. I even responded about my jobs. I even updated the list on the wiki. Yet was still missing at least 2 months of full payments, and one month where I'm missing about 85% of them. I didn't go back past 3 months, but there's likely even more missing. Which means with some of us admins missing payments, all the others that were on the list are OVERPAID for the same period.

Don't say that! You're the one that put me down for bringing up potential issues. Now just a week or two later you're contradicting yourself.
Nothing of the kind. Still, I politely decline your invitation to an argument, recalling someone smarter than me once said: 'Don't wrestle a pig, because you'll just get muddy, but the pig will enjoy it.' I'll point you to: I'd be more apt to take the site seriously if the admins would actually read/respond to concerns. As it is, it's like they started the site and ditched it. Hard to give it ANY second thought at all when it's treated like this.
They are giving out free chips via faucet and poker freerolls, to anonymous players, no deposit required ... and you have 'concerns.' This site is not for you buddy ... Quit bitching. Seriously. Like you said, if you have issues with the site because admins aren't responsive, this site is not for you. You have no right to complain anymore. |
