Thank you all for your feedback, we take it seriously and plan to implement most of the requested features.

AA2 network served over 1 million unique impressions so far. And now we want not only to grow in volumes, but also to grow in quality of traffic.

So we are searching for advertisers that are willing to use our trivial Goal tracking API to pay for sales. Such advertisers will get all the required support and attention from me. I am even willing to implement it on their side for free if they need it and plan to spend few btc on aa2 campaign with goal tracking.

Here is a simplified (i. e. without optional parameters) example of how API call looks like:
When new goal is created, amount will be deducted from campaign's balance (if it is sufficient). That amount will be divided into smaller fractions and sent to ad unit during 30 days (that is default duration).

Thus ad units that bring sales to advertisers are likely to generate more traffic for those advertisers (and earn more too).

Advertisers can use web interface to create goals manually too, so they can play with it and see how it works.

So am I the only one who can't sign up? I tried different IPs from different countries (no TOR, no proxies!), tried to remove cookies. It says "Sorry, registration is currently disabled. Please try again later (User not allowed)". Or am I banned for some reason? Username: arsenische

Right, that's the idea. I just explained the her story for Bob. Bob would think he has to send bitcoins from his address to prove that he is Bob because Alice doesn't want to show boobs to anybody except him. But in fact there might be no Alice at all, it could be just some anonymous scammer pretending to be Alice for Bob, and pretending to be Bob for us.

Alice doesn't want to show her boobs to anybody except Bob. She knows it's Bob's address, that's why she wants to receive coins from it as a proof.

When you pay bitcoin for a product, you agree to its price and delivery conditions. Sellers can't be responsible for your financial decisions. If Coinabul knew where the price would be in a month, they wouldn't need to do any business other than speculation. They don't have incentive to delay shipping IMO.

OK. Let me explain it better.

1. We know that Bob owns some bitcoin address.

2. Alice claims she is Bob.

3. We ask her to send coins from Bob's address as a proof.

4. She asks Bob to do it in exchange for the image of her boobs (so Bob thinks he just pays for a photo).

5. We see that money moved from Bob's address and assume that Alice is Bob.

But she is not!

In general I don't think so.... Bitcoin address owner can be asked by a anybody to send bitcoins to any address (for example in exchange for goods or services)... so to my mind it doesn't prove anything.

AFAIK there is some activity every day http://bitcoinpyramid.com/history

Bitcoin Pyramid? Should be working...

try (if you are using ubuntu) to install play utility

update: testnet blockchain is not that big, took several minutes to download

bitcoin radio, lol

update: I hope "play" is secure and there is no exploit there

Is bitmit alive? I can't get registered... "Sorry, registration is currently disabled. Please try again later"

Yes, withdrawals are free. We take fees only from money that go to campaign, and from daily budget.

You are right, the whole system is not documented yet, I am working on it.


This is correct, thank you for explanation!


Right. Only bitcoin deposits are counted.


You can't do it directly (maybe it will be possible in future), but you can register a goal to your ad unit (thus withdrawing funds from your campaign without a fee). How can it be exploited?


Your ad already contains a referral link (it is shown when you hover AA icon). It has the following form: You can also advertise any campaign via links of the form: If campaign pays per sale, you will be rewarded for attracting buyers. It looks like currently only campaign #1 pays for goals. But later we plan to have a list of such campaigns.

That means you have created or selected the ad #97 and added some categories or ad units to cart. You can proceed to checkout to create a campaign with up to ~26752 impressions/day according to your language/filtering settings (the expected number of impressions will depend on your daily budget).


Almost right. Maximum fees: 20% + (20% of the remaining 80%) = 36%. Please note that 10% goes to the referrer of the ad creator. So AA gets <= 26%.

If daily budget is set to 0 then AA gets 10% (advertiser can spend his balance to pay for goals thus getting impressions from efficient publishers without additional fees). If advertiser sends traffic from his ad unit to his campaign OR advertiser is a referrer of himself (that can't be verified since everybody is anonymous) then he gets a "discount" of 10%.


Thanks for your suggestion! Something similar has already be done on our staging server: http://s.a-ads.com/ad_units/new (is it clear enough?).


As I explained above, AA gets 10-26% from advertisers' money. 10% of deposits goes to referrers, so they can be thought as additional earnings for efficient ad units (see http://a-ads.com/campaigns/1/goals). We will consider lowering the fees. Maybe we should issue shares and ask shareholders to vote on it

Thanks for reporting bugs (EDIT1, EDIT2) - we fixed them! Regarding ad unit code constructor (EDIT3) - it probably will be improved when I understand how to do it better.

Thanks again for your participation!

Update: received order confirmation to my mailbox

same happened to me

I opened your site. There is no ad unit code there. Did you remove it?

Herbert, Lethn: if you see the exact places interface features that can be improved, please let me know (I see some of them too, but your feedback is precious). If you have any specific questions, please ask. We need to know what topics should be better explained. Thanks!
