764  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: How much would it cost to create a new exchange? on: May 12, 2013, 12:58:55 AM
I am not computer savvy in regards to programming or setting up servers etc. If one were to buy all the equipment and software, hardware etc? How much would something like this cost to set up a Bitcoin exchange better than Mt Gox?

Servers are the least expensive things as usual. A rough estimate for a serious exchange could look like this:

Software development or purchase of out-of-the box product + customization: 100k-200k USD
Servers: around 20k USD should be enough + Xk USD that you want to spend on DDOS protection, X can be as large as you want and still won't give you 100% DDOS resistance.
Initial legal costs: 10K USD-100K USD (heavily depends on jurisdiction)


Thanks for your input.
Could you elaborate on the software?




Doubtful because its not exactly like windows where you can walk into walmart and grab it, it has to be made from scratch. So as for 'software' its what ever your team designs.

200k to startup? Doubtful. A single programmer, and a web security guy could get the job done waaaay cheaper than 200k.

Initial legal costs, I would not worry about this until you're making some money, they're not going to kick your doors in to fast.


Really all these exchanges do is record what you deposit, and give you fake coins to trade around, while the stash is in cold storage. I cant see that taking to much time if you know what you're doing.

Will this provide any type of merchant services/tools? In other words, if I want to pay 1 LTC for a beer, it would be nice if that was immediately changed to cash for the bar owner.


I could ask my developers and get back to you with a proper answer, but how i personally do things is i have a paypal debit card so anytime my account has money i got money on the card. Which is accepted anywhere a debit/credit card is.



You know what they say about being a merchant, and leaving funds on your paypal account? They say "don't" and its for a very good reason. Bitcoin is a gray zone with paypal, they will wait for you to have a ton of money on the account and freeze it.

You need to be taking a cut of publishers profits, not advertisers.

I feel like there is some misunderstanding here. What is publishers' profits, where do they come from? Publishers don't deposit anything, it is advertisers' money anyway.

Dropping $10,000 and a-ads taking $4000 id rather just use adwords..

We know our fee is high, but it is not 40%. As I said, it is 10-36% depending on the particular use case.

We take a deposit fee of 20%, half of it is a reward for publisher that attracted advertiser.

Then we distribute remaining 80% to ad units that satisfy advertiser's criteria (with respect to Daily Budget set by advertiser) and take 20% fee from it. In return advertiser receives proportional share of impressions of those ad units.

But advertiser can set Daily Budget to 0 and spend campaign's balance via Goal Tracking API without that 20% fee.

So the principle is simple: money gets distributed from advertisers to publishers (either we distribute it according to some simple internal algorithm for a 20% fee, or advertisers distribute them via Goal Tracking API without a fee). In return advertisers get proportional share of impressions from ad units they pay to. No absolute numbers of clicks/impressions are guaranteed though, CPC and CPI are just rough estimates.

Also if advertiser is at the same time a publisher, then instead of depositing money s/he can redirect his earnings to campaign with only a 10% fee.

Thus minimum fees we take from advertiser is 10%, maximum is 36% and our fee model encourages advertisers to reward ad units that work best for them thus minimizing incentive for fake traffic. But we might consider to change it.

Thanks for your feedback!

Money for referrals should come from your profit, not advertisers expenses. Why should it cost me money, to make you more money? I think that's the worst setup I've ever seen, why would you even join an affiliate link if its costing you more money to advertise?

You need to be taking a cut of publisher profits, not advertiser profits. Meaning if I spend $1, to get 1000 views, you don't take 30 cents, and leave me with 700 views. You need to give 1000 views, and pay the publisher 70 cents an keep the other 30 cents.

Taking 20% to deposit, then 20% to spend is robbery, and losing you money. Having $64 left to advertise with out of every $100 spent, I cant see how anyone signed up.. It already lost you $1000 sales from a single person (me..) and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

AnonymousAds takes fee of 20% from each deposit, 80% goes to Campaign #339. No thanks, you should be taking profit from publishers, not advertisers.

What's the difference? Please note that advertisers don't pay per click or per impression. They just send their money to publishers via AnonymousAds, and get a proportional share of their impressions (no matter what the absolute amount of clicks/impressions are).

But you are right, fees are quite noticeable, 10-36% depending on the specific use case. Normally AnonymousAds takes 20% from deposits (half of them goes to referrers thus encouraging efficient publishers) and 20% from daily budget (though you can set daily budget to 0 and use Goal Tracking API to distribute campaign's balance between efficient publishers without a fee).

Thanks for your questions and for interest in AnonymousAds!

Please explain further, I don't see anywhere on site where it explains how it works, I'm just seeing cost per click, and cost per thousand views.
Charging 20% to deposit, now I'm reading 20% to spend also? That's crazy..

Please donate to the worlds largest charity, what ever it be. Tell them you will make a donation of over $100,000 or wait til it hits $120-130 a coin before sending and tell them a donation of $130,000 paid in bitcoin if they add the link on site to send it to. The only requirement is that they have to keep the link on site, this will be massive for bitcoin if it happens.

Imagine if you can get the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to accept bitcoin.

776  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if world's banks coordinate to close accounts of exchanges? on: May 07, 2013, 04:33:29 AM
It is probably true that governments would have a hard time killing BTC by going after transactions and, harder yet, the network due to its decentralization. What if they just decide to cut it off its food supply?

What if the banks decide that their profits may be at stake? What if the banks of the major countries decide to launch a coordinated attack and close all accounts of BTC exchanges. How then would new money come in to BTC and how would existing BTC holders get money out? Who would want to accept BTC at that point? Could the banks even do this without a legal reason?

Concerned...


There are banks in outside countries who will gladly accept deposits regardless if its for human trafficking or bitcoin.

I don't know where this thread went as I didn't read it, but an important note to remember is this..


If you start with $2000 don't expect to make $200 a day. Just remember on a good day if you make 1% or $20 you can lose a weeks worth of profit in 1 bad trade.

Most people are missing the point  Undecided


The point is that no one person should be able to tell the populous what to do.


That's the point of bitcoin.. Dividing the groups is bad..


Whats next? 1/100th of fees need to be deposited to dev accounts? upgrade to this or we wont ever upgrade bitcoin again!
