Existing websites and such. I already do this with a different website I deal with so all I do is swap some links around from theirs to Devtome instead. I run some news sites for games, so the traffic isn't a problem for me; it's all about how I want to manage which sites are getting the click-throughs on my links, :p.

I love the idea of this thread and the concept behind it. Something you should really do, though, is add in links to posts or something for praise/complaints. For example, in the OP you state that complaints have been made about Momento, but without going through the posts there's no way to tell what those issues were. Even something as simple as saying like:

MomentoVPS - Link1, Link2

would go a long way...

Hope I don't seem like a jerk for this but I'd probably be interested in running a similar campaign. I'm from the US and log a minimum of 400 miles per week, sometimes more; all during rush hour traffic too!

I was looking over the bids today and was wondering... when someone is outbid does it send them an email to let them know, or do they have to constantly keep watch of each site they are bidding on to see when someone else bids higher than them?

#1) I don't think he's going to release that information. If he did, everyone would throw traffic at the site at the same time and it would defeat the purpose of having the new system.

#2) Should be all articles.

Up!

If I was a company I would have taken the time to ensure there would be none of these questions to begin with. Companies usually have legal advisers and specialists for drafting up business documents. This "company" that feels it has contributed $12 million doesn't have any of that? Really? If they are mis-managing money that bad, I wouldn't give them another cent because it means they clearly have no idea what they are doing and are either: a) a scam or b) going to tank due to thinking "EASY MONEY!"

Tree fiddy!

Definitely need a way to just use custom code. I was thinking you could add a text box to enter it in, and then just call that if there's no sold ad slots. Ex:

If (!adSlotSold) $adDisplay=$failOver;

Basically what I want to be able to do is show a-ads or another network when there is no sold ad.

I just pm'd TF about this as well. He said he has given the guy no money but was "considering investing 10BTC." This makes me think the OP is even more shady, as he's implying TF has already sent the 10 BTC and is using that to verify his worthiness.

I'd rather have failovers. Like with most of my ad networks I am able to specify an ad that shows when there's nothing else to show. Ex. if the network doesn't have an ad for that page load, they will let me put in either my own ad or just use another ad network (like Adsense) take that spot. This way no matter what I always have a 100% fill rate.

And there lies the difference. One is a real company with tangible assets. Thus their contribution is worth $10 million. In essence they are "raising" $15 million but are contributing 2/3 of that on their own with existing resources. The investors are asked to contribute the other 1/3.

I guess it really depends on how you look at it. The best way is to view it is (Company Value = Company's Investment, Investor's Amount = Investment, CI + I = Company Valuation = Total Raised).

Ask any real investor. Ideas are a dime a dozen. An idea has absolutely 0 value until it has shown it is viable in the real world. People come up with excellent ideas all the time that fail due to lack of knowledge and/or execution issues. Therefore, they are saying that the equity (at this point nothing at all) is worth $12 mil. They are bringing nothing to the table right now but an idea. Thus they are saying that they are effectively raising 15 million. Were they to have documentation showing $12 million in true assets this would be different, in that they would still be "raising" 15 million but THEY would be fronting the first 12 of it prior to going public (leaving 3 million left for investors). This simply isn't the case.

Far too many people on these forums are investing in crap without any knowledge of how anything works other than saying "OMG I CAN THROW IN MONEY AND I MAY MAKE MORE" and then they get pissed off when they lose money as a result. It's a little disheartening, to say the least.

I'm cross-posting this from YACointalk as I think it's important. Here's the post:

So I've started finally generating PoS blocks, but I've run into a problem that I think should be addressed. Here is what I saw today:

Input: 5.14 YAC obtained 06/27/2013
Output: 5.14 YAC (2.57*2) 08/06/2013

Why is this a problem? Because there was no increase in the earnings amount due to the size of the transaction. This has led to two new issues:

1) The coins, while they were almost 1.5 months old, are now fresh even though nothing was earned in the process
2) The coins were split into two new transactions, meaning that if the system continues generating blocks like this, they will NEVER earn anything because they will keep earning 0 and being refreshed

The only solution I can see with this right now is to merge every transaction into one, but over time it will keep getting split over and over again leading to the same exact problem. It's really not efficient.

Can someone please shed some light on why it works like this? Essentially as it is I have 0 benefit in running the client because I'll never get anything unless I continue babying it and constantly merging the transactions (which causes massive days lost each time).

The valuation is the true amount they are raising. They are saying "if you give us $3 million, we will give you 1/5 of the company. This means that what we have contributed so far is worth $12 million." In other words, they are really saying that they are raising $15 million, but that they are personally contributing something worth 12 of it, leaving 3 more for the public.

Let's say the $3 million is for the license. They aren't asking for $3 million. They are asking for $15 million. There's still a massive amount ($12 million) that is unaccounted for. And this is a start-up, so it's going to have problems.
