That would be great, however, there are currently two people driving this independently.

The first person is "Cookie". He is doing this through a donation-funded approach (no free stickers, but cheaper), but ran into issues ordering the stickers. These stickers are relative cheap, but made of paper.

The second person is me. I was tired with the delay in ordering of the stickers by "Cookie", so I ordered a bit more expensive (plastic) stickers. These are the ones that are shown above. I paid them myself in advance and offer them for 300 NLG per sticker, but I ordered a smaller amount (which causes also a higher price).

So, if you want to donate now I suggest to contact "Cookie" for the address, else maybe wait for the next round to see which stickers are better and will be ordered next, and by who (I would like to see one person dealing with this instead of two).



 

Because most used is the most secure? Ask microsoft if that is true.


OpenSSL anyone?

The point that GeertJohan wants to make is that security comes at many levels, you have to secure ALL of them. Webservers are very difficult (and expensive) to secure properly. Security is as strong as the weakest link. Riskmanagement comes second, how much is lost when security is breached? That is way more on a centralized server than on an individual wallet.

Ah, so I misread that... -addr should be --coinbase-addr, great that it works now.

Add -addr=<Adress>, maybe?

Thank you, what type of card is that?


From the minerd documentation (note this is for bitcoin):

To mine to a local Bitcoin testnet instance running on port 18332, authenticating with username "rpcuser" and password "rpcpass":
minerd -a sha256d -o http://localhost:18332 -O rpcuser:rpcpass -coinbase -addr=mpXwg4jMtRhuSpVq4xS3HFHmCmWp9NyGKt

I'm not sure about the -coinbase and -addr flags, but your username and password could be wrong (not address)?



Why not use Guldencoind for solo mining, I guess minerd add overhead?

With stock coolers that should be right (My system also gets that hot when running at max), but
take care with hot days. If you're not comfortable with it don't do it, because you won't gain that
much extra with it. Or run with less cores (if it is a multi-core system).

<edit>
Could you give me your card specs, settings that you run cudaminer with and the average hash rate you obtain?
It's for the docs.guldencoin.com website.
</edit>

I don't see why not. Did you try?

The wallet software only does CPU mining. You need to let your cudaminer connect with your wallet software (RPC interface) to do solo GPU mining. Your wallet software runs then as a private pool.

This is the one you want: http://www.betalenmetguldencoin.nl/index.php?h=13 (includes a map that points to the location).

Thank you for mentioning us! We are currently low on advertisers, which make the ad spaces on our platform very cheap.

This is also part of the plan and will be implemented gradually over time. The current design is from
a time when we were the only advertising platform for bitcoins, so we could afford it then to have
a not so nice design.

The current idea is to have all the functionality we want implemented first and redesign the site when
we have all that available.

One thing that always makes me uncertain is to how much javascript should be used. Personally I don't
like javascript that much, because from a security point of view it is a huge risk (for the website visitor).
Currently we use a small bit (mainly statistics), should we use more or do people not really care about it?

Thank you for your feedback. I've also had a PM with an additional feature request.

The initial idea of the service was that advertisers would outbid each other and giving a higher rate for the publisher. The multiple slots should be possible to implement, but will require a rewrite of the bidding, the ad serving and accounting backend system and the frontend website. That will be a lot of work. Fortunately, we're rewriting parts of the site, so this can already be taken into account.

PM me when you restore the banner, so I can activate it for you asap.

Hello skorek,

We hope as soon as possible. We started a domain transfer from Kalyhost (which has the same mother company as MtGox), to ensure our service in the future, last week. The timing that it went through is very unfortunate in respect to our update post. I've tried to contact maplesyrupghost (who is handling the transfer) to get it reachable again, but no response from him yet.

I'm sorry to hear our service is missing features. In what way is your new advertisement network more advanced?

We've posted an update about the current things going on at Operation Fabulous today: http://opfab.net/blog/

'I want to link my Bitcointalk name with BTCJam's. Verification code: 7e384ec0-2749-4ec3-b862-d1093222186b'

Ok, it is somewhat integrated now, including the pie chart code that Kiba wrote (do note that it can take up to 30 seconds to load the data from the database if there is nothing in the cache). Click on the title of the site to go to the site specific part, from there you can get a lot more information about the site and place/edit/delete bids.

edd has been in contact with me on that, to see what can be arranged. If you would like to join, contact him.

It's part of a new set of pages that allows a new way of bidding on a site and allows the pubishers to direct potential advertisers to more info about advertising on their site. I haven't had the time to integrate it in the site yet, but I'll try to do it this week (no guarantees).


I told edd already to maybe contact that person, maybe he wants to join in.

I'm also open for a community sell. Respected people grouping together and run it together (more as a business, then you would have different roles, e.g. server admins, site designers, support desk, people handling "the finances"), maybe issue shares on GLBSE to fund it (I would even buy a few of those). Such group would have my preference.

Some of the server aspects:
PHP (OO programmed with a clear separation of user facing scripts and backend classes to increase security)
Firebird as backend database (not a common choice, but had my reasons for that)
PHP and Python running in the backend as daemon for various tasks
Bitcoind running on the server for pay out with a minimum of the funds.

The services are running on a VPS from kalyhost (not everybody might like them, but I never had any problems with them).
The OS is Gentoo Linux, using a hardened AMD64 profile, software is up to date.
I'm using IPtables to shield off services that should not be exposed to everybody.

As you see security was always a main point for me (Operation Fabulous got started at the time when people were hacking into various bitcoin related sites), the community was already facing with sites disappearing and people losing money (and the trust in those sites).

The money turn over fluctuates a bit over time. Because I keep most money off-server I normally can do with about 20 BTC on the server for a few days, but I've had times when this would be gone in just 2 days. Counting up the first few rates from https://operationfabulous.com/advertiser/index.php?e=list current pay out would be around 4 BTC/day.

I started Operation Fabulous more than a year ago because there were no advertising possibilities and people were asking for it. It was a solution for the community at that time (I had no serious plans to make a profit out of it). While I'm still busy developing it from time to time (and maintaining it, of course), I don't have so much spare time due to my work.

I've had offers of people in the past to purchase it from me, but rejected them. Seeing this type of discussion coming back from time to time and knowing that I do not have the time to bring the site up to the level it should be for the current market (and still lacking good alternatives) I think it is time to reconsider to hand over the site to some more dedicated person.

I do however need confidence that the person who I will be selling the site to is respected within the bitcoin community, the last thing I want is to have the site and all the work I put into it to fall in the hands of some scammer that wants to get a quick buck out of it. I want some confidence that the site will be in good hands.

Psy, was your point about buying Operation Fabulous serious? I see you have quite some posts already, so I guess you've gained some respect in the community.

This link was end to me by a friend who did a Bitcoin promotion during the occupy demonstration in Amsterdam last Saturday (look right in the middle):
