Damn you Biomike, you beat me to it Well any chance you're looking for a partner, it being PHP and all I'll manage on my own. I think the community would be more helped with some other things (Flattr type of site?, seeing how many topics there are about donation and like). The only reason I accepted this was because there seemed to be some need for it. But if I need help, I'll let it know on the forum (as soon as I start generating enough revenue through this I plan to post some short paid jobs).

I don't think so. BiddingPond's user base is not big enough.
And WTF happened to their layout... turquoise on green?

I hoped to announce it this evening, but encountered some bugs that I wanted to have fixed (and I had some time taken up by something else). It's getting late here again (and last few days have also been late), so I move the announcement to tomorrow (I want to be online for some time after I announce it). Unless more problems show up.

It is based on a bidding system, payout in Bitcoin.
It's a great idea: like Project Wonderful but for bitcoin instead of dollars. I'll certainly use it on some of my sites. And yet, Project Wonderful does not seem to have been wildly successful for website owners. The ad prices seem to be quite low compared to what one would get from AdSense. I can't put my finger on why this is. It is was made as a Bitcoin Project Wonderful (Noagendamarkets idea). Kiba has now a site running on it, and earning a few bitcoins (mainly for helping testing). Although there are a lot of "blanks" (missing functionality, graphics and info how to do things). I'm planning to release it to the Bitcoin community soon and keep continue developing it. Many people are in to earning some bitcoins through their site, but I hope there will also be people who want to advertise (haven't heard them yet).

BioMike: Are you creating an AdWords-like service, but bidding/paying in Bitcoin? One reason I like AdsCaptcha is because if won't clutter up the Faucet page with ads.
It is based on a bidding system, payout in Bitcoin. Popularity of your site should drive the price for the ad space (in principal one ad space could make you enough, don't think that popularity should be a problem for your site). One risk is however, if only one (or nobody) wants to bid on your site. In that case the ad space is free for the advertiser, You could however set a minimum bid. I'll be in #bitcoin-dev this evening, I'll ping you if you're interested.

My Bitcoin Advertisement site should be helpful for you. Hopefully I can get it up soon.

Most part is running now (still testing), but having problems handling the payments properly. So, not today unfortunately .

The Chinese have been tightly regulating their yuan (compared to the dollar). And now he starts complaining about the dollar?

It prevents to get an annoying popup/screen when you visit a ssl self-signed encrypted site.
People who know about ssl know that they can mostly ignore the screen/popup. Other people get freaked out, thinking someone hacked the site and go away (at least don't trust it).
I know about the startssl service, was just wondering if there were attempts by people to offer these services for bitcoin as well.

I've been looking for an SSL certificate signing authority that accepts Bitcoin.
On the trade site I saw that Exoware seems to offer them, but they only list prices in English pounds. Has anyone more details on this? Or know some other SSL cert authority that accepts Bitcoin?

Send upstream for inclusion in the plugin?

I can't really see that it is a hologram (as in real 3D). Seems more like lasers shining on a flat semi-transparent surface. (I've seen these things already about 15 years ago, although much simpler). More 2D to me then 3D to me.

And then everybody goes : "who?". And nothing happens... If we would do that with every person/hacker on the internet, slashdot would be overflown with "Zomg, p0wnies, bbq, person x hasn't been online for x months". <edit>BTW, did someone tried to contact him through email?</edit>

I presume that the ads market is getting set up this weekend? Can't wait to begin using it to earn bitcoin. I'm afraid that that is a bit too soon. Currently setting up all the needed software, but I have to go to work today (bacteria don't stop growing over the weekend ). There are also still some small things that need to be sorted out (last pieces of the payment code, etc., very important!). I'll do my best to get it running this weekend, but no guarantees.

People have lives.
And anything could happen. Car accident, suicide, personal financial crisis, etc. In that case... is this site (website/forum/domain) then safe? A.k.a. who pays the bill?

Ok, ordered a VPS.
Update:
Small bugfixes.
|
|
|
Of course I can also do my part and raise the price on Bitcoin Central, giving more people incentives to sell there.
Just bought the bitcoins against a higher price.

The bitcoin central market for Euro move rather slow, though. Maybe you could ask noagendamarket for 200 BTC on the condition that it will be paid back once you buy enough bitcoin? * kiba is impatient about using the new ads market to earn kiba some bitcoin Yeah that's a problem atm. I also are short on time during the week, so if I would order it now (the 200 btc is extra buffer, in principal I have now enough to order the service) I wouldn't have time to set it up. I'm also a person who doesn't feel comfortable with borrowing something (this counts double for money).

I've placed an order at bitcoin central (200 BTC @ 0.2450 EUR) yesterday, that would give me enough btc to get started (and have a bit of buffer). I was also waiting for some answers from the hoster about their service, but that's ok now.
If the bid does not get filled by Friday, I'll place an order for the service in the weekend. If it does get filled I'll place the order for the service earlier. With a bit of luck I'll have everything running by the end of January.
