Those stats were taken from free website traffic checker site https://www.similarweb.com/website/ . There are many sites out there like ahrefs (https://ahrefs.com/traffic-checker) etc. The paid version of these may provide more details and can be useful if you are managing multiple sites. Quote from: hellobtc123213 on June 13, 2024, 02:34:53 AM I did try contacting Trezor a while ago to become and affiliate but they never responded. I want to be careful with affiliate marketing because I want to only promote trustworthy projects and I assume I could not test all products. It is a good idea though, thank you. I think for most of the affiliate programs , you only need to sign up for them and start promoting them your affiliate link through social media or blog / websites. Don't know about trezor but most sites do no require the back and forth communication. Its all automated. Trezor affiliate program can be found at https://partners.trezor.io/ where you need to sign up. Also you may try joining the affiliate programs from Amazon as that one is the best and trustable too. Ok thanks, I will check those sites out. They look interesting. I did apply for trezor but yeah, they never responded.

Quote from: ABCbits on June 11, 2024, 09:41:04 AM I briefly checked your website and it seems you already do most common suggestion (blog post, referral link and donation page).[/i] Actually, the main function of the site is the tools. They are available if you scroll down on the homepage, below the binance ad banner and also available via the hamburger menu. Perhaps I need to add these to the top menu as you did not see them ? Quote from: hellobtc123213 on June 11, 2024, 07:05:17 AM I did try Adsense and ezoic but both of them were horrible and messed up the website. Many website use Adsense, but it doesn't make their website page appear messed up or broken. So it's probably on how you implement adsense or other ads provider. Although i don't know how to fix it other than reading guide or hire someone to do that properly.[/i] Because the site updates at regular intervals with price information, the ezoic ads filtered through their own DNS and this was problematic. Also the ads from both Adsense and Ezoic messed up the website look and feel. I don't want ads to be intrusive. Quote from: hellobtc123213 on June 11, 2024, 07:05:17 AM I am also told I need to get links. I am not sure where I would get links or why I need them other than getting some traffic to other websites. I did reach out to a couple of websites but they didn't reply. What exactly you mean by get links? Adding more links on your website? Backlink? Yes I think backlinks to my website from other websites. Quote from: examplens on June 11, 2024, 01:51:13 PM The most important thing for a site is the traffic it generates. Greater number of visits, greater earning potential. 11k is not imposing, but it is not insignificant either. I would agree with ABCbits, many sites have implemented Adsense, so it didn't make a mess and for smaller sites, it's one of the better choices. You can also directly look for someone who will want to place an ad on your page, but you definitely need to be more recognizable for something like that, as well as have a usability that your potential visitors will recognize. For example, you can start from this forum, and open an ANN thread where you will present your service. At the same time, offer ad space. If you are already putting up a banner with a referral link, it might be better to look for a lesser-known service instead of Binance, which everyone already knows about and mostly has an account there. The probability that someone will register through that banner is not great. If you are already setting up your site in the post, why are you putting it inside the code tag, and not directly so that it is clickable? There are several Bitcoin link directories, so why not submit your site to them, if you were thinking of such links? [/i] Thank you for feedback. I will look at some other exchanges that have an offer. I added the site in code so that i comply with terms and conditions of the forum, that i did not read so to be safe I just put in code.

I have 1 ad on the homepage that has not been successful. I added a donate page some time ago but there has only been 1 anonymous donation and a couple of other small ones. The website gets approx. 11,000 visits a month excluding bots. Those are good stats to show to advertisers, but you need to post your stats on the homepage or create a page for it to attract sponsorships which to me, is very much suited to your platform Quote I did try Adsense and ezoic but both of them were horrible and messed up the website. If the script has no specific placement for an ad space it could ruin the platform so its better to create a customized box for ads this is also to let advertisers know that you are accepting advertisement and sponsorship Quote I am also told I need to get links. I am not sure where I would get links or why I need them other than getting some traffic to other websites. I did reach out to a couple of websites but they didn't reply. When it comes to attracting advertisers, they need to know the stats, and it should be specific so they will know where you generate your traffic and if the traffic location is what their platform needs; so if you're getting traffic from Europe, then contact platforms which target are on the location where you get your traffic. [/i] Thank you. This is a good idea to create a media page. The website is very specific to Bitcoin while majority of traffic is from US we get visitors globally. We don't promote cryptocurrency in general. We have a very specific audience that I assume is mostly advanced bitcoin users.

I think the tools are pretty useful but maybe I have silo thinking. I checked your site and also try to confirm the visits to your site and it is around 17K-19K per month which is quite good. Instead of getting income from the ads network, have you thought of things like affiliate marketing? Since you have a blog section in your site, you can join a few crypto affiliate programmes for example from hardware wallets etc and try to earn money from there. Income from Affiliate marketing is more reliable and also good in quantity as compared to the revenue generated from the ads. [/i] That is interesting. What website was that image taken from?

It seems I can't download electrum. Well I was able to last night, but it didn't run today. I have tried downloading it again, and mcafee keeps flagging/removing it Seems to be an issue with it https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1639722.0 https://blog.malwarebytes.com/cybercrime/2019/04/electrum-bitcoin-wallets-under-siege/

My computer may or may not have a virus, I wouldn't know. But after installing the bitcoin update, nothing works. It defintely needs more ram. The laptop only has 4gig. A freind suggested I should not f with old tech and install an additional 4 gig ram Alright, but you also can format the drive and reinstall your OS to be relatively sure about your PC being clean. But if you feel you need new hardware, sure. Quote from: hellobtc123213 on June 26, 2019, 08:01:40 AM I don't care about core running, I want to be able to access my coins so I can move them to trezor. Oh.. then i wouldn't try to get core running. The fastest way is indeed to use electrum. Quote from: hellobtc123213 on June 26, 2019, 08:01:40 AM I am nervous about using electrum. I barely know how to use core which is why I thought this might be my best bet. Tbh, electrum probably is more suitable for beginner (even tho it offers a lot of customization options). But the basic usage of electrum seems to be better for beginner. I'd give it a try. Quote from: hellobtc123213 on June 26, 2019, 08:01:40 AM The second part of my issue is that the funds are sitting in a change wallet. I checked my version of core and it doesn't have xpub. But I do know what that address is They are in your main wallet (you most probably just have one), they are sitting on an change address. The fastest way to access your coins, to move them onto your trezor, is to export all private keys -> import them all into electrum -> send transaction to trezor. To do that: Open core and unlock your wallet (using your password, if you have set one) Open the console of core (somewhere in the Debug-options) Use the '`dumpwallet`' command: Code: dumpwallet C:/Path/to/dump.txt Open the `dump.txt` file (it contains all private keys) Open electrum and create a new wallet by importing private keys Import all of these private keys and send the full balance to your trezor But please make sure to download the original electrum ONLY from https://electrum.org/#download and preferably verify the signature of the file (to be on the very safe side). The whole process (downloading + verifying electrum + exporting private keys + importing into electrum + sending to trezor) takes about 10-20 minutes. If you have any questions, concerns, etc.. feel free to ask. I am nervous about doing this on the same laptop. Any issues at least doing this on my day to day lap top? Thank you for assistance

Quote from: hellobtc123213 on June 25, 2019, 07:38:02 AM After doing a lot of reading. I think buying a new machine that's clean is my best option and then installing a new version of bitcoin core. I then just need to copy across the wallet.dat and let then run bitcoin core and let it sync. Can anyone confirm if anything else is required? Did i miss something ? Why do you need to buy a new machine (hardware) which is 'clean' ? What exactly do you want to achieve ? Do you just want to access your BTC asap ? Or do you want to have core running ? You can access them the fastest way by using electrum (see posts above). If you want core running, simply reinstall it (make multiple backups of your wallet.dat!). Or do you have some kind of hardware problem ? [/quote] Other users above suggested I get a new computer. My computer may or may not have a virus, I wouldn't know.

Did you update your operating system? Quote Is processing blocks on disk 5 years behind It's quite possible that Bitcoin Core just didn't get to processing the blocks where your transactions occurred... thus it cannot "see" your transactions and therefore hasn't displayed them in the transaction history. Quote DO NOT know where wallet.dat is located. A search can not find it This is could be somewhat problematic. You need to find your wallet.dat... then make a backup copy or two just in case. It is highly likely (as you mentioned Windows 10), that your wallet.dat resides in a folder that is hidden by the Operating System by default. You would need to modify the windows settings to show hidden files/folders first. Refer: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028316/windows-view-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-10 The file path should be: C:\Users\{YOUR-USER-NAME}\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin But you should be able to confirm this inside Bitcoin Core, by looking for the "datadir" value displayed on the following Menu option: "Window -> Information": Thank you. You were correct the file was hidden. So Can I take a back up of that and move to another computer with electrum?

[quote Obviously, the second address is your change address since the remaining funds were sent to it at the same date and still sitting there. From the console type: listunspent If you see the change address there then your funds are safe. type: dumpprivkey "change address" to get the change's address privatekey. edit: Quote from: nc50lc on June 21, 2019, 01:56:17 AM ...

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Bitcoin missing i am lost

on: June 21, 2019, 01:16:59 AM

Last night I booted my old laptop which I do from time to time and installed the new bitcoin core wallet and installed the upgrade as I have in the past. It crashed the computer, ram cpu were going off their head. I eventually rebooted in safe mode networking and got it working again but it had to reindex the blocks which is done but now the wallet says i have balance 0.00 and unconfirmed is my btc amount. T But that amount was confirmed years ago and obviously i was able to send funds. I can't find the wallet dat either. Further, I looked at the address that i received the coins in originally and it has a balance of 0.00. I did transfer half to someone, but half went to another address on the same date, i dunno if i was hacked or if i am just reading this wrong. The core wallet only shows the receiving transaction and then the one i sent. I still have the email from them confirming their address. The other address the funds are still sitting there. Whatever happened the coins are still there but where there is i have nfi. I will try the btc forum as well but thought there might be a local that could help The only person i trusted to help me with this was another bitcoiner techie, we use to talk about it when it was 50 cents. But he passed awaay a couple of months ago. Any help appreciated [insert crying emoticon]
