What is being auctioned? Why?
Non intrusive ad space in my setup guides is being publicly auctioned. This has prior approval from Theymos.

I work for the community full time and am not funded by the community or any company. Donations have not exceeded $50 in total this year and so I have to find a way to keep the guides sustainable and FREE for the average consumer. Selling ad space is one such trial.


Ad Format

  • Leaderboard style (728x90 pixels), static images (jpg, jpeg, gif, png), non annoying colors
  • Totally unaffected by adblock.
  • Ads may not misrepresent, lie, be inappropriate, be (or link to) NSFW content.
  • I reserve the right to reject ads for other reasons or remove ads even after they have been accepted.

  • There are 7 ad slots for sale. One slot will be placed after sections 2, 4 and 6 in all the guides listed at the bottom of the post.
  • I will randomise which ad is placed in which slot on each guide so each slot receives the same impressions.
  • The ads last at least 10 days starting from when they are put up. Traffic is expected to be 10,000 impressions per slot over the period.
  • This traffic is exceptionally targeted to the hardware subforum, and more specifically to those who have either bought or are looking to buy miners.


Auction Format

- Auction will run for approximately 7 days, to end at midnight London time on Friday 1st August / 3PM PDT Friday 1st August / 6PM EDT Friday 1st August.
- Post your bids in this thread. Prices must be stated in BTC per slot. You must state the max number of slots you want.
- The notation "2 @ 0.5" means 2 slots for BTC 0.5 each. Not 2 slots for 0.5 BTC total.
- The bidding starts at BTC 0.20.
- All bid prices must be evenly divisible by BTC 0.02.
- If two people bid at the same price, the person who bid first will have his slots filled first.

I reserve the right to reject bids, even days after the bid is made. In particular, bids from people with less than 15 activity points are likely to be rejected. I recommend not getting into a bidding war with someone who has less than 15 activity points, as their bids might not be accepted, but your latest bids will still stand. If you need to know right away whether someone's bids will be accepted, PM me.

You must pay for your slots within 24 hours of receiving the payment address. Otherwise your slots may be sold to someone else. I will send you the payment information via forum PM from this account ("dogie", user ID 87869). You might receive false payment information from scammers pretending to be me. They might even have somewhat similar usernames. Be careful.

tldr for getting started:
  • Starting bid is BTC 0.20 per slot
  • 7 slots being sold
  • Bid using slots @ price each notation (3 @ 0.20 means 3 slots @ BTC 0.20 each)

Additional notes for this round:
  • These changes are designed to make it easier and less time consuming to participate.
  • The time of each round has been increased to 10 days to reduce the administration (and emails from me) of each round.
  • Expected impressions per slot are back to their nominal 10,000 per slot. In future the number of slots will be increased to match traffic increases in order to keep the 10,000 and the prices comparable from round to round.
  • Number of ad slots increased to 7 due to the increase in round time and traffic.
  • I may impose a max slots per person during the auction (likely 5).

I apologize if it is inappropriate to ask questions in the auction thread, but I'm wondering if I can put down a deposit or sign a message from an address with a substantial amount of BTC in order for my bids to be accepted, in spite of my low activity on this forum?

That would be prudent. You can PM me a signed message and address, best not to put it out there and be a target.
