Topic: Two years of forum ads: get cheap forum ads for a limited time (Read 4104 times)
I noticed it was ad time when I saw the Choo choo train incoming

If I wanted, could I buy every ad slot available with a variety of ads?
You can buy slots from the people who won them. One ad per slot.
when would be the next opportunity to get into the advertising train? Or is the chance gone for two years? 
Normal auctions will resume in a few days. I'll probably do something similar to this in a year.

Hello there,

This event is now over. Here are the people who paid:
I ended up accepting all ads.
Ads are now up:
https://bitcointalk.org/adrotate.php?adinfo
These 5 people paid the most and will have their ads in round 105: infamousdutch, sagrid, Stunna, BitcoinFr34k, and seleme.
The raffle will work like this:
- I will take the block hash of block 274285, hash it once with SHA-256, and convert the result to binary.
- Starting at the left of the binary hash output, I will take 9 bits. If this is greater than 340, I will throw it out. Otherwise, whoever owns the ticket with this number wins a slot. (Tickets shown above, inclusive on both sides.) You can win more than once.
- I will then repeat with the next 9 bits, etc. until all 5 slots are filled. If I use up all of the bits in this hash, I will hash the hash again to add more data to the end of the stream.
Thanks to everyone who participated! I won't put up the next ad auction for about a week.

18 people now. I'm too busy to process this right now, so I'm going to extend the payment period by about a day.
December 08, 2013, 03:20:55 PM
12 people have paid now. Only about a day left.
Hey theymos! I just want to make a suggestion. You should add a little gig timer that lets people know how much time is left. I saw some other people do it and it was pretty cool!

Wow! This is nice! Sad that my site is still in development...
i feel the same.
December 05, 2013, 10:23:53 PM
Will definitely get on this. Cheers!

I wish I knew about this offer sooner as I was looking to spread the word about my amazon UK shop (got to sell more things for the big move later next year) and my travel blog (need to get more visitors/sell adspace to fund it's running costs/expansion).
Since there seems to be only 1 ad slot,I must choose between what site I want promoted on here,My travel blog or my amazon UK shop?Maybe some of you on the forums here can help me choose.
Travel blog:www.film2240.blogspot.co.uk
Amazon UK shop:http://www.amazon.co.uk/shops/AI2E0Q506MT4A
Which one would you advise me to focus on for now?
Thanks

If you want more viewers then the blog. If you are looking to make money then amazon...
December 05, 2013, 05:36:55 PM
I'd guess that the blog would get more interest.
December 05, 2013, 03:09:09 PM
Seems like a great deal. Don't have anything to advertise though. Anyways, happy you are making progress towards that forum software update.
December 05, 2013, 11:28:16 AM
want one

Only two people have paid so far, so you could get a ridiculously good deal here. If there are less than 10 people at the end of this, you could get the impressions of 2+ normal slots, which normally go for ~2.5 BTC.
December 05, 2013, 05:30:04 AM
Sounds awesome. Thank you very much, Theymos.
December 03, 2013, 09:25:33 AM
Definitely interested in this. Thanks theymos!
