hennessyhemp's bids were false, which might have unfairly affected the price. Does anyone who bid here want to restart the auction due to this?

[zackclark70]

I would say if the bids are well above average then restart it if they are around the same as normal then keep as it is

My most sincere apologies folks, clearly I need to strengthen my passwords across the board. 

My account was hijacked on 7/10/2013 and this prick posted on every major thread in the forum.  It's been difficult sorting it all out...luckily it was only the tenth, but he appears to have really done some damage to my name.  Luckily there are a few people out there who recognized my account behavior to be incredibly abnormal on the tenth, but it's posts like these bids that really upset me.  Their identity is unknown to me, and the only thing they really accomplished was discredit my account a little, which is really shitty if you ask me.  I've worked long and hard on building up this little account, writing things that I thought might actually contribute here or there, for some asshole to come here and piss all over it makes me red with fury.

I also connect my account to my real identity, so this is a serious attack on me, as some people believe this guy was me, and I may not be able to convince them otherwise.  Anyhow, I'm really hoping it was just a weak password, but anyone considering adding two form authy for forum accounts has my two thumbs up...makes me think I need it for all my ventures, crypto and fiat.

kslaughter you just outbid yourself for five of those slots, basically giving away 5BTC for free. Must be nice to take money and not provide anything in return. This is turning in to a gong show.

[zackclark70]

this is crazy your not even going to get  500,000 hits for 800 USD and most of those hits are Google indexing the site

I am canceling this bid as kslaughters' bids seem like bullshit and it seems to me like they will not actually pay.

[nlovric]

this is crazy your not even going to get  500,000 hits for 800 USD and most of those hits are Google indexing the site

Actually, it's 7 × ~800.00 United States dollars (USD) = ~5,600.00 United States dollars (USD).

So to recap,

Kslaughter has

1 @ 7.75 (Since nlovric canceled)

or am I mistaken?

yes 7 slots would get you 3,500,000 hits ( over 25,000 users of what 10% of them are sock puppets  ) all that for $5,600I cant see that paying off unless you scamming or selling a lot of expensive products

the most cost effective way would be to buy 1 slot as each user will see all 10 slots over 100 times

[nlovric]

May I suggest a new bidding system to theymos:

• theymos posts e.g. 100 deposit Bitcoin addresses.
• A user reserves the first unused deposit Bitcoin address and posts their refund Bitcoin address like so:
  

  Deposit address: <Bitcoin address>.
  Refund address: <Bitcoin address>.

• The user immediately transfers the amount they intend to bid to that deposit Bitcoin address.
• The user posts their bids and outbids like so:
  

  Bid: <number of slots> slots at <Bitcoins (BTC)> Bitcoins (BTC) per slot.

• theymos examines their advertisement only once they have deposited the bidden amount.
• The next user checks the Bitcoin blockchain to see if the bids are real by examining the Bitcoin blockchain.
• When the auction ends, theymos just checks their wallet to see if the which the highest bids with correctly-deposited Bitcoins (BTC) are and immediately publishes the winning advertisements.

Actually, I think the most effective way would be to reserve 3 – 4 slots as with 4 slots, the advertisement will be displayed to a user if they open only 2 posts, which means they're not here randomly, but 3 should be ok as well.

Reserving all slots is a waste of money in almost all situations. A user may find such advertizing too aggressive and suspicious.

No, kslaughter has 7 slots at 8.25 Bitcoins (BTC) per slot.

[🏰 TradeFortress 🏰]

Is this expense coming out of Active Mining or kslaughter himself? Because if it's the former, then kslaughter is wasting money.

[nlovric]

Because if it's the former, then kslaughter is wasting money.

Can you elaborate?
