Looks like we found another FTC block, seems like people want to mine it enough that they switched from the multiport to directly mining it.
Do you guys want it back on the multiport? I'm going to have to increase confirms back up to 120.
I do! I was going to swap to another pool for FTC while waiting for you to fix the problems, but this will resolve it too, :p. If this block isn't orphaned, and nobody else complains, I'll add it back in the morning. Orphaned  On IRC they're saying there's another fork. Wow, that sucks. |

If this block isn't orphaned, and nobody else complains, I'll add it back in the morning. Sounds perfect. Thanks! According to the FTC forums, the problem was caused by someone running a 51% attack on the pools, plus DDOS'ing some. They said the has rate went from 400MH/s to over 1.5GH/s and then it started getting tons of orphans from one of the pools. It appears to be fixed now. I suspected this was the case. Was the 51% successful? As far as I'm understanding, all it did is create a lot of orphans. Though it started with a transaction of over 260k, but based on what I've seen there was no damage (double spend or anything). |

Also, to clarify something else... ad CTR is usually based more on the advertiser themselves than anyone else. If two advertisers create their ads, they will have different CTR's, even when on the same content. There have been ads that run a 0.00% CTR because they flat out suck, and others than convert 10%+. When you bring revenue into this as part of determining how much each writer's "value" is, you're not only basing it on THEIR work, but also the advertisers', something the writer has absolutely no control over.

I'd also argue that the number of views does not indicate the quality of the content regardless. There are sites that get 500 views a month using spammy methods that are earning $5k+ a month, where others get 100k+ views a month and earn less than $10. Why? Because the 500 views may be based on certain niches that pay upwards of $80 a click, whereas the other, while more popular, is not able to be monetized due to different content and what advertisers are looking for.
In other words the market is paying more for some things than others in the same way a ball point pen costs less than an iPad! No=one is arguing that a ballpoint pen should be priced the same as an ipad, so why argue that two pieces of content should be priced the same when their value to their audiences is different? If Devcoin is going to get into advertising, people are going to have get to grips with different prices for different niches. Devcoin is about benefiting people for the work they do; not how much one person may think it is worth. |

Amazon does offer a GPU instance, not free by any means. I did some rough calculations awhile back, LTCwould need to be trading around $25 to show a profit, and BTC would need to be around $500. (this was about a year ago, I'm sure things have changed since)
I use the AWS EC2 platform for all my clients' websites, and yes, it is free for super low traffic/low power instances. I tell new clients to create their own account, then give me access via the IAM service. Works very nicely, and I highly recommend it.
Does it work the same as a VPS? Like just install an OS and run things like normally? I've been thinking about moving to it for hosting but haven't yet as I don't really know enough about it, :p. |

If you guys want some easy BTC's, go to http://coinfaucets.tk for an automatic rotator/timer for BTC faucets. And welcome to the forums! |

Sucks that this happened, . I hope you get the problems resolved. On an un-related note (or related?), is it normal to try and cash out some coins and it appear to not do anything? Ex. there's no confirm/denial message, and it's hard to tell if things are going through due to the database lag. |

I've no aggression to the writers, but just want to make our community to notice this thing, is devtome more important than open source developers? I'd suggest some way, e.g. to limit the shares on devtome not exceed the half of whole shares, or as others said, use read times or vote links, instead of just words to distribute shares. just some random thoughts, not thinking very carefully, and forgive my english for I'm not native speaker.
I agree 100%. Unthinkingbit and other administrators: is there a way we can make some decision on this? agree, though id say 1/4 is enough. Devcoin is about DEVeloping, maintaining a wiki dosnt really count to developing  Without awareness and POPularity all the DEVeloping in the world will fall flat on its face. Writers should get paid per quality and the best way is to measure quality the way advertisers and google pay and get paid for ads and that is hits or page-views. I know unthinkingbit said last month there was a program almost ready to be used for this. This will ensure that people will write quality work or quit. It is the most fair way of doing things. Going based on hits/views is one of the easiest systems to manipulate (exploit). I am 100% against this. How is that? I mean, isn't this how google gets paid? Are advertisers that dumb? I presumed if it was good enough for google and billion dollar advertisers it would be good enough for devtome and devcoin. Or is there something in addition which google employs to ensure there's no manipulation? Anybody know how google does it to keep it fair and keep bots out? TIA. Google pays based on a CPC rate; not CPM. Meaning they pay only if someone clicks. Furthermore, they analyze each click to see how the user responds to the advertiser's page, as well as their IP and some other criteria, to ensure that the click was not forced and was a legitimate person wanting to see what the advertiser had to offer. Even with all of this in place, Adsense has a fraud rate of over 40%. I really don't want to go into more details about how all of it works, but suffice it to say that unless there are a lot of criteria searched for, the number of views (raw or unique) is too easy to manipulate for it to be any good. I'd also argue that the number of views does not indicate the quality of the content regardless. There are sites that get 500 views a month using spammy methods that are earning $5k+ a month, where others get 100k+ views a month and earn less than $10. Why? Because the 500 views may be based on certain niches that pay upwards of $80 a click, whereas the other, while more popular, is not able to be monetized due to different content and what advertisers are looking for. |

is shipping included?
I wouldn't trust any of the shipping companies with this. I would require an in-person delivery. |

Something is wrong with FTC: 4 orphans in a raw. Can you cripple it with 20% setback at multipool?
Looks like a possible fork. I just disabled it off the multiport altogether. You must have missed this: May 15th Update: Mandatory update version 0.6.4 released with 504 block retarget and difficulty adjust on block 33,000. There was a hard fork. All the orphans were trying to mine for the same block as well. Once you get FTC updated we should be good to go! |
