Source Code available ?

[BitCoinDream]

Is there any open source bitcoin ad network, e.g. a-ads.com ?

[jonald_fyookball]

dont understand the question.

are you talking about an open source ad server like open-x?

[NVitanovic]

I don't think so, most of those systems are made out of scratch. You can check hotscripts.com, maybe they have something that you can modify. In my opinion it's best to make it from scratch because you will make things you need.

Best Regards!

I am looking for a bitcoin based ad platform code where publishers can sale space and advertisers can bid for those space. Operation needs to be like a-ads.com, not adbit.co. So is there anything like this available on github or sourceforge ? Does anyone know ?

[jonald_fyookball]

On the Internet today, there's a whole real time bidding (RTB) ecosystem that exists between publishers and advertisers.
Are you talking about plugging into that ?

Or simply an informal marketplace?

simply put ...code for another a-ads.com in simple PHP-MySQL

I am afraid Simple doesn't cut it in this day and age.

depends on the outlook...

Definitely not simple.  I think you grossly underestimate
the difficulty of creating your own ad exchange, let alone
a commercially successful one.
 
You can try looking at what open-x offers, they have a
lot of open source code.

Someone suggest hotscripts.  there's also codecanyon.

I dont think there are so many advertisers on bitcoin as of yet that we need to work on RTB. It may be simple bidding system and I believe a-ads.com is doing the same.

I've never heard about them. Or I just didn't get the question

You can start simple but you will encounter many challenges on this project at various stages. Best of luck.

encounter many challenges - for example ?

[jonald_fyookball]

Well for starters how are you going to track the number of ad impressions?  MySQL will not scale well for this.

At least not without any scaling built in (Sharding, etc...). I think people grossly underestimate the creation of a website in general.
