See https://www.operationfabulous.com/advertiser/index.php?e=list for a list of sites where you van advertise on (plus their current rate).

I hardly browse these forums any more. Best to PM me.

Concerning the questions:

If you don't get any ads (the amount of advertisers is rather limited), this can have multiple reasons:
1) You have a minimum bit.
2) You have to few visitors (2000 - 3000 views/day average give a nice rate)
3) Skyscraper / button  ads are the least used ones. The square and banner are used more often by advertisers.

Payouts have been officially reduced to 1 BTC... until the whole situation with MyBitcoin started. I had to stop the automatic payout system.
For the time being I do payouts manually, once a week. With that, depending on how many publishers have to be paid out, I use often a 0.5BTC cut off. But it might be different from week to week.

Dishwara just take your time buying the shares back (paying dividends might increase the price of the shares, reducing the rate at which he want to buy them back).

On the other side, if I'm correct, Dishwara could get his own mining rig very cheap (BTC price is now lower then when he bought the rigs).

Hi davout,

Are your initial "issues", with the previous release, fixed?
Don't want to see Bitcoin-Central going through that again.

Cheers,

Electric bill is down by about $110 since last dividends. How come such big difference? (Not that I mind it, just wondering).

Dishwara, anything to report?

They would have to fire over China... the only country that keeps them in a safe position. And there are some other countries that they would not want to mess with in that direction.

Other way to transfer from MtGox:

Find someone in the EU who wants to buy your MtGox USD, you transfer the MtGox USD to this person, this person does a SEPA bank transfer to your bank account.

So, if I understand correctly, the refund is held until a new purchase is done by someone?

BitcoinNotify looks like an usable service. 2 Others:

https://walletbit.com (currently writing a PHP class for this one, but requires customer to be signed up with them as well)
and
http://www.bitcoinpayflow.com

Are they? How are you so sure about that?

I'm looking into a replacement for mybitcoin. I had one question on your service.
It seems that you forward payments directly to the bitcoin address provided by merchant, so no e-wallet/account balance.
However the part that talks about refunds seems to indicate that there is an e-wallet/account balance.

Could you shed some light on how that works?

I expect this to be bullshit. Remember the RAM defragers, many people jumped in that also, while it even made no sense from a technical point of view?

To me seems a bit more of a problem with the mining ecosystem then the confirmation requirement (half a year ago it would be almost impossible for double spending even if the transaction would show up in your client (0 confirmations)). As far as I know, there is no miner with >50% mining share, so the attacker could not have any grip on that.

Still, I can't make up much from their explanation of the bug. The only thing I can come up with is a bug with their SCI sending of bitcoins (not receiving) where bitcoins would be send (and not verified) before the balance in their database would be updated (or that the record update failed). But still, these bitcoin transactions should be somewhere in the block chain and SCI works with a MyBitcoin Account (should have a working email address registered in there).

If MyBitcoin wants to come back online and stay in business, they should prevent a bank run. Which is quite likely to happen and would worsen the situation.

Sure, it will be harder and should have said something right away, but there are a lot of things he can do. Most people have nothing more to loose, only to gain (even if it is just a small amount of what they had stored). Starting with good communication and updates is just a start. There are some highly trusted members in this community (Bruce for example). If he can get their trust, things will get more easy.


Just works here. Did MyBitcoin change the DNS record? Might take time for you to get the update.

Wow, best thing for Tom to do now is step in the open (list all used addresses on MyBitcoin, so that things can be traced (if someone sells stolen bitcoins MtGoox/Tradehill or other exchanges might track the thief down)) and start communicating with people, that will give him some credit.

Second, he stated once that most of the bitcoins were stored off-site. How can they be gone as well?

It is all up to Tom to get his credit back and I think that there are enough people who would be willing to help him with that. If he was a real scammer we wouldn't hear anything from him back.

I see a lot of similarities with the MtGox hack, they got out of it stronger. This should be possible for MyBitcoin as well.

+1, people who wanted a quick profit and saw that bitcoin is quite risky.

You mean... seeing prophesies in the block chain?

*Warning* Don't send now all your bitcoins to MtGox because of what I'm about to say below. *Warning*

That was my earlier point with MORE payment providers and E-wallet services instead of less. MtGox seems to have a good safety strategy and they put a lot of effort in it (they won't give up easily, if you see what they've gone through last few months).
