Hey everyone. Someone was able to log in and withdraw from user accounts today. The total number of lost bitcoins was 1.77195 sent to this address: 12yJiutWoEutrTTyXf4t5UYNjZujFTwsNm

We will have no problem to reimburse this amount to the accounts that are affected.

We are looking into the problem now to fix this for the future. Withdrawals are temporarily disabled to stop any future attacks.

Update: The security has been updated to address this issue and funds have been replaced. All users are required to reset their passwords.
Withdrawals are still disabled while we do some further tests, but if you need a withdrawal urgently please simply message me

When will I be receiving my 7.5 BTC back?? I'm willing to take legal action as I have your full name and address.

... legal action? For just 2000 euro's?! Are you American or something?
How the hell are you even going to prove anything? Bitcoin is barely even considered a currency, it's more like an "anonymous internet collectable"...
Besides, you're using his free service at your own risk.

I can't access any other part of the website, it just redirects to the password reset page even after I've reset my password.

It probably redirected you there after logging in as it was the last page you were on. Have you tried clicking "Home" after logging in? I'll fix this up to avoid confusion

Thanks for fixing my issue so quickly!

I was wondering:
Is bitads slow because of network bandwidth or CPU load?
Loading ads or navigating bitads.net is either instant or taking 5+ seconds. It's always one of those two extremes.

I'm looking into what is causing the slow times as we speak. I have already sped up both the http server and the sql servers.

What would help also is removing the SSL connection from your adspace. Replace the https with http in the iframe src code.
Now users will not have to make an SSL connection just to view the ads.

Is there a way you can optimize your code/server so the ads can load faster? they take more than my whole website to load... Undecided

Thanks!!

I ran a neobux ad campaign on my site the other day... 10,000 hits in 15 mins...
I made bitads.net not be able to load because the servers couldn't keep up.

Sorry about that... Sad

Working on optimizations now!

Hello.

I have a problem with one of my ad spaces. People can't place a bid on my square ad space. (see freebtcfaucet.x10.mx)
The error they get is: "error, invalid values"

It used to work very well in the past. Does anybody know a solution to this problem? You can reproduce it by bidding on the square ad space. Don't worry, i've set it so that i must approve the bid (so you don't lose money when testing)

Fixed, sorry about that!

Yea I guess so.. if both companies are using frames then it seems pretty broken in the way they implement it.

bitads can you fix this please?

I'll look into changing the code to work better in this situation. Thanks

Sorry if I missed any questions

Please note out inputs.io account is currently empty due to inputs.io being hacked (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3483931)

Please use the regular blockchain until inputs.io fixes this.

UPDATE: I know the server is down ATM. Fixing a bug that I created during optimizations. Sorry guys! UPDATE2: Fixed

I wonder if the way Bitads handles the backup is making A-Ads think that the impressions are actually from Bitads instead... that would explain your issue.

yes this is what I am thinking myself..

bit ads gets the advert.. doesn't have any adverts for me.. gets the custom URL and calls it itself (doesn't put it on the page for the uses browser to call it but calls it itself somehow)

~~or bitads puts a hidden a-ads within the bit ads (so it gets the unique hit) and my adverts are not unique which actually show)~~
I cannot see it doing this looking at the code it gives out

Ah, it's easy enough to explain.

Your call to Bitads is via iframe. This loads up their site essentially (with your site as referer).
Bitads then calls A-Ads as backup, also via iframe. Since the iframe is from Bitads, they are the referer.

Let me put it like this.

I have an add on a-ads which is..

and I get say 10000 Unique Impressions over say 5-6 Hours

now If I replace that with.

https://bitads.net/?p=bid&id=1045">Your ad here, instantly! bitads.net

Now bitad shows around the same unique impressions on their website.

I tell bit ads to use "Execute custom HTML" when bit ads doesn't have any adverts for me.

bitads unique impressions doesn't change but a-ads now says they are not unique at all.

The people who look at the Adverts will most likely NOT have been to any bit coin websites at all in the past and the audience I am showing them to wouldn't be bit coin people at all. (100% iPhone Users). I would expect maybe 95%+ Unique rate on both advert systems.

A-ads counts 2 global unique impressions per IP per day. It means if a person sees 2 A-ads ad units on some other site like DailyBitcoins.org, which has a lot of global unique impressions, or visits 2 sites with 1 ad unit each, then when visiting your site, none of these A-ads impressions are counted as unique. That might explain your small unique/total impressions ratio.

The IP Addresses won't have gone to other bit coin sites in the past most likely and should have 95%+ unique ip addresses

if I have a-ads direct advert it counts the unique ip addressees 100% fine
if I use bitads and use a-ads as an a alternative if bit ads don't have ands for me it shows VERY low unique ip addresses so bit ads must be doing something strange with the alternative ad

The owner of bit ads should be able to tell me as when I contacted a-ads they where not very helpful at all in telling me why they where not unique when goes via bit ads

I'm not sure if i understand what exactly you mean, but a-ads counts the unique ip adresses GLOBALLY. The unique views are unique to ALL a-ads. Not just unique on your website in particular.

This is why I don't like how A-Ads runs. If there's a site that gets the majority of people's views first, they get all the money. Imagine if all advertisers did that... MSN.com and Google.com would get ALL the money since they are the two sites that usually load up on people's browsers first.

Basically if a site is checked first and all people do is look at it for a sec and then move on to a real site they wanted to read, and on the other sites they view 1000 ads, the first site (that wasn't even used) still gets the payment.

My faucet is break-even. I've invested quite a bit at first, but now it's earning more than it's losing. So in total i'm break even at this moment. I'm planning to increase the payouts again now.
It's quite simple... I just make sure it's break-even in the long run.
