OK, I created it.

I don't speak any other languages.

Very nice site -- innovative use of Bitcoin. I'm going to buy some shares.

I was going to start renting a seedbox because my ISP is supposedly going to take action against BitTorrent users soon, but maybe this will be enough. Downloading the file from your server is pretty slow, though. The ability to select only some files from a torrent would be nice.

"Securities" would be a better name. I'll use that.

What do you guys think of an "assets" subforum to Lending? This seems like the most appropriate categorization, since buying an asset is similar to giving a loan.

Not totally sure yet. Probably I'll make an impulse decision about it at the last moment. I'm leaning toward French, though.

I'll post here when I've made a final decision.

Glad to hear it (though I find it a little difficult to believe). Many of your posts are good, especially recently, but I've been annoyed at how frequently you post garbage.

Whenever I see your projects I still think of your initial ridiculous, self-important attempt to start a "Bitcoin Better Business Bureau" and your scamming incident (which was totally your fault and not just a misunderstanding). But my opinion of your projects has been improving recently as you've been acting more thoughtfully.

Yeah, this is the auction for round 29.

You can turn off that Firefox feature which occasionally gets malware info from Google (it doesn't ping them on every pageload).

Internet Explorer certainly has no Google tracking stuff, and IE9 is pretty decent.

You must kill the dragon and save the princess.

It may take up to 10 minutes for the board to notice that the dragon is dead.

That's not supported yet. Maybe it will be in the future.

Threads are "ignored" on board pages if you've ignored the topic starter.

That does suck. I won't increase the limit, then.

Is your communication so urgent that you can't wait 20 seconds? I don't see any need to reduce this. It should probably be increased, actually.

The software doesn't support having different restrictions for different membergroups (and it seems difficult to add support for this in the code), or I would lessen the hourly restrictions for most users. I don't want newbies to be able to send too many PMs, though.

There shouldn't be an external resources loaded from the front page. Next time that happens, please send me the page's source.

Notice that detailed stats about impressions are now available!

(This page is somewhat slow.)

In order to collect more money for the creation of good forum software, the forum is selling ad space in the area beneath the first post of every topic page.

Ads this week will be 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. Ads will be prefixed with "Advertisement:". Ad text may not contain lies, misrepresentation, or inappropriate language. Ads may be rejected for other reasons.

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.

The ad lasts 7 days starting from when I put it up.

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.

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.

- 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 0.5.
- The bidding starts at 0.5.
- The auction end time is 22:00:00 on April 17, UTC. Countdown. (The end time may be extended -- see below.)
- 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 any valid bids occur less than 30 minutes before the auction end time, then the auction will be extended by 30 minutes. If any valid bids occur less than 30 minutes before the new end time, then the auction will be extended again, etc. The time will not extend beyond 6 hours total.

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

Final result:

Ah, you're right. Whoops. I somehow missed that when I checked it...

Current state:

I don't see any reason to prevent that. Most scammers aren't going to care that people know they're online.


Only you can see that stat when your online status is hidden.
