Testnet has been reset due to some minor POS fixes. Please, follow these steps to reset the testnet:
1. Close CraigsCoin-qt.exe
2. In your %APPDATA% folder delete CraigsCoin folder entirely
3. Download and run the latest wallet
4. Follow the instructions to join the testnet again
You would need new testnet coins to use the testnet (your old testnet coins are useless), so please PM me and I will send you the coins.
The latest wallet (apart from POS fixes) has improved form for ads listing with new fields, including adding the image/video URL.
The website that is parsing the blockchain ads will be ready soon. Also, the API to parse the blockchain ads for any third-party developer will be ready as well (I am not going to give exact ETA yet as this is still ongoing development).
I will post more info tomorrow together with the roadmap.

I might be talking nonsense, just something I'm curious about.
Would it be possible to build a website that crawls the blockchain and lists the ads by categories etc? and that page automatically builds a pretty listing with pics from tags sent from txt listing in the wallet?
Yes it should be possible. Nice idea by the way, I think I'll try my hand at it later on.

I think the first coin to master utilizing ads payment network could even surpass bitcoin value in market cap.
I doubt anything will trump bitcoin.

Imagine Google Adsense + a similar coin like this one. Needs a better name though. Would surpass bitcoin for sure.it would be near impossible to fight clickbots. They are pretty sophisticated right now. You cannot fight them if you are unable to track what it does on advertisers website.
Indeed. And any intelligent system can not be decentalized.

Text advertisement is a good start. But to succeed there need to be people seeing ads.
So are there any plans to allow:
1) Image ads with additional meta data like URL?
2) Running a node on your webserver and displaying selected ads on your website while getting a reward for clicks or completed contracts? I imagine an advertiser reserving xxx coins as a reward for 3rd-parties which successfully promote the ad. Each time an ad gets clicked the site owner gets i.e. 5 Craigs from this pot. This way CraigsCoin could be used worldwide as a real decentralized AD-network and not only within the investor community.

this is an interesting idea, but how to fight clickbots who will get all the coins from the pot in an instant if there's no antifraud system
Yes the clickbots will win that war.
But maybe the dev could get that information from his friends at Yandex. Or someone else. Yes, it won't be an easy task, that's why such thing doesn't exist yet. Maybe things like smart contracts of BC or similar things could be used for this.Yup. The problem is not in how to fight clickers, the problem is how to do this decentralized.
There are no problems, only challenges

Can we buy with partial bitcoin? Such as 0.3 btc for example, and how are we gonna get out coins since it is 1btc=1craigs at bittrex
Yes you can invest parts of BTC. Final price will be adjusted after the ICO.
