Kyoso you're being a hypocrit XD
if you would bid what you could you wouldnt have to wait
kyoso hippocrite XDDDD

but 200,000/4 = 50,000 week so tru ig
hahahahhahhahahaha
you've done this to yourself though LMAO
idk how I got role management for 100
i havnt done anything tbh
It could've ended minutes ago
veld gave me a lot of credit because i blackmailed him
nice
@pseudo cedar can u spare some 
about to make his adres public for credits
veld are we allowed to blackmail you
thanks for the idea
No that's definitely not allowed

knowing in retrospect is the easiest
Also not legal I think
well blackmailing isn't legal anyways

Just set an automation to infinite money at this point

ahh i should have let it expire, stay 3rd place and hope anigame is trolling
welp, 160 was my highest for today so 
Drawing 'auctions' be like
oh well, better luck next week
who's the owner of anigame
ya'll have a good week 
This Zenith guy
we should have a week where bot developers compete in various games, the winners get the first pick on spots. Stream it as community event ๐
They do have 800k votes
So it's probably legit
Only one way to find out
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ

I have 15K servers and 400 votes lol
invite says 165k
Vote gang
veld cmon
Oh

Sorry
veld you didnt even try !
I'm on my phone
Bad in multitasking

I guess they don't post the stats to top.gg anymore 
bad gateway
Yeh nobody is getting that good a vote ratio ๐คฃ
lol nik coming in last second
gg bursting
to use rythm, you have to vote ๐
cmon @wanton tiger
oh gob i almost forgot!

it was close
Sounds like automations have been working well though
yeah!
Makes me happy
auctions in general have been a lot more stable
I should bid my entire patreon balance on top voted 
Finally ๐ญ
I've submitted very few manual bids this week
@royal iris Brendan has bid like $9.2k for Mee6 before so you should do that as well 
this has been an epic battle

oh wow
bid last second
alright I'm out

cya all next week
cya kyo
See ya later gamer
bye :>
LOL
if anigame is trolling
2450
might not be trolling, 800k votes
Yoooo floraine popping with the clutch move
and its the end of the month
bidding goes on for 3 more hours
anigame wouldnt troll lol, theyre a big bot
I'd get second place for fun tag if they are trolling
What if the auctions were blind and the two winners pay the 3rd place's bid?

true
I mean if you want it
Sounds confusing
I'll see then I guess
how does anigame get 800k votes with like 18k servers thats insane
It sounds a lot less trollable
i really want this to happen
165k servers *
They no longer update their server count
"sorry u need to vote to use the help command"
cring
Btw gamers
oh the server count is VASTLY outdated then lol
I would recommend updating your server count daily
Why
oop
We're using it in the search algo now
I will dad
oh godverdomme
what about every 30 minutes 
now im gonna have to write a stupid job to do this ๐ก
wdym I update my server count like every 5 min, am I spamming your api veld
not every half hour?
every 30 seconds
Veld calling us all gamers smh
epic gamer move

every second
Damn bro you better be a gamer

Did Nik lose because of the general chat memes?


veld is that real tinder

i think since rhytm joined in on the bidding, we'll have mee6 and rhythm exclusively for a long time
nik just gonna slip veld an extra $50 on paypal to get his spot back
they are lol
i dont use paypal anymore bro
at least the big ones are
paypal sucks
dont you use paypal for groovy still?
PayPal ain't your pal
nik whats urpaypal

hello floraine
lovely times with you guys

I'll paypal you an invoice if thats cool
ye for -100$
exactly, negative -100 $
ty
I dont even have burstings paypal pensive
@wanton tiger send me your paypal in dms 
he only takes bitcoin
uhh
my credits went back to 0
and i have just won a spot?
i claimed my credits at the beginning of the month?!
@mossy thistle
any reason?
what happened?
i don't handle auctions stuff
@low hinge ^^
oh sorry

credits expire 30 days after claim i think
and i won a spot
i claimed it on the firs
first
and its the 29th
so..
im so fucked 
i claimed it all on the first
so it hasent been 30 days
no its not
month is first
Well it hasn't been 30 days he's right
on the pay screen it doesn't allow you to pay with credits either?
not talking about balance
is shows the option
click it, see if it works
but when i press it
can be a visual bug
nothing happens
welp, I'd suggest waiting for veld then
though i doubt he would yeet you for something on top.gg's end

I bought a tag from auctions, can someone explain to me how it works?
have you won it
yes
you should then be able to pay for it on your pay section on auctions
i already paid for it
will it automatically advertise my server?
or do i have to set it up or something?
if you paid for it already, refer to #580510490074152961 on when your ad goes live 
After paying is it suppose to say something here? nothing seemed to change but im not sure if its meant to change.
if you received the payment email, it went through
visual bug if you received the mail yeah
as aurel said if you got the payment email or if you notice the charge on your card then its gone through and you'll get the spot
got a email from FastSpring Checkout, is that the one?
if you dont get the spot by tomorrow then spam ping veld 
yeah
@candid lily how do you become a partner 
partner like the ImBursting?
yeah
I pretty much assume that's something veld decides from his own
nothing you can simply get
how long till advertisement goes live?
When will the new bots get viewed?
@winged carbon #580510490074152961
This Monday?
Tuesday 19:00 UTC: Bidding starts
Monday 19:00-21:00 UTC: Bidding ends*
Tuesday 07:00 UTC: Payment deadline
Tuesday 19:00 UTC: Runner-up payment deadline; ads go live
@candid lily sorry for the ping. But is 19:00, 3pm eastern time?
Yes
What is the minimum bid for?
Like if there are 2 spots but 3 bots have bid 15 + USD why is the min bid 5 USD
Min bid is the starting price that the slot goes for which is based off of the previous weeks selling price
i mean i want to get the spot?
will i not be able to?
@low hinge when i won the spot
my credits reset to 0
and i had 30$
so what happened?
i claimed them on the 1st
so i still have time before expire
and this is the last chance to use the credits
So, I won a tag in auctions and when i try to pay, it says my credit balance is 0$. Do I need to wait for next month (April 1st) to redeem my credits then I can pay?
I already have 15$ in this month
same issue
Hey when my old bot is there i have got 100 votes & $15.Now that bot was deleted.Can I get the $15 for my new bot?
bruh top.gg not accepting $2 from a paypal
i have to pay $2 within a hour
but it isn't working
i have like $800+ on paypal. I have $2 bruh
DM Veld
I still need the answer
voting credits can be redeemed when the month ends
I was not able to withdraw that 15$ of votes
Is there a glitch ???
No redeem option there
I wanted to redeem but there was no redeem button now I lost my bidding bruh
This is honestly stupid
When I actually wanted to pay for the tag, I wasn't able to.
Rip forgot I had automation on
@gilded kernel what does automation do? Does it automatically bid or automatically pay?
Bid
At veyr last second?
I mean does the automation feature bids ur selected amount at last minute/second of the auction ending?
No
It bids throughout
So it auto bids when auction starts?
I just researched and found out how it works
Sorry for disturbing you
Morning guys, won a spot last night but unable to pay - not showing anything on the payment page (yes it is showing i've won on the bidding page haha) cheers!
morning
damn
Maybe you should consider dm:ing one of the team members?
morning @thorn salmon its my bad, just seen that i only had til this morning to pay when i thought it was this evening RIP haha ๐ฆ
always next week i guess!
๐ฌ
I wasn't able to pay but didn't get hanend
Bannrf
Banned
I hope they don't ban me cuz I didn't know how auctions work at first, now I do
I mean I failed to pay because my balance reset due to a bug
@low hinge shouldn't this be updated to say on the tuesday? also the email is wrong and says it will go live next week rather than will go live on Tuesday at <time>

they're live until the following tuesday?
are the ads updated yet or nah?
Tuesday 19:00 UTC + allow an additional hour for caching
okay couldn't remember what time they were
The auctions are not open yet ๐
ah thank youu
It's showing the results of last weeks
They should open up this week's auctions later today
In about 90 minutes iirc
They usually take a couple hours after that for the new ones to get added

optimizing the promoted process is still on my todo list
ads only went live like 12 mins ago didn't they?
Doesn't seems like it
Haven't changed
damn
I know they can take up to like half hr
Hmm
It does not add up lol
i've got 6

http://i.kitchengun.solutions/AlarmedUnderstatedExtraneousAlex.png still apparently got 5k impressions on the WDash tag

Lol
it can take like up to half hr for caches to updoot
yes
What's considered a good Click Through Rate?
Uhh..
wait until auctions start 
help whyt is my auctions offlien
Why do the auctions take so long to start?
Just pressing automation makes it not work?
shouldnt the new auctions go live at the same time the ads are going live?
it's 1 hour later iirc
your being too logical
but why

Always refer to #580510490074152961 but it says starts at 19:00 UTC...
๐ค
that's how the cron job works

uh oh
lemme check the cron job
nah
it happens in 20 minutes
When did that change
I swear I remember people bidding when waiting for cache to update for new ads

Yeah, I dont think its always been like this
summer time
why does my server come up as product instead of server in promotable?
because you bidded with the product
That doesnโt make sense veld lol everything shifted so should still be in line
I haven't?
love that
my opponent had the auto bid thing then never paid their bid
oml
which one?
but dont the auctions work on utc time
they do
it was like this before dst
it was in rocket league tag
so i dont think its related to that
i was bidding against vade bot if you were asking me
alr ty
but yes
@pseudo cedar @astral moat I think it's the auctions codebase that's not using UTC

end me

So we was right?
hahahahhahaha
this'll probably be last bid i do lol till i've bought my new lappy for college
yup
ill be sure to pass on your words to distress to oliy
it is
anyone wanna take over on my cyber security major
what it is
you have to use their api to post the server count
-servercount
To have your bot's server count displayed on Top.gg, please read the documentation on server/shard posting.
Oh
they don't have a way of checking a bot's server count (accurately)
Why canโt they just collect the information from the add bot menu
that's generally pretty accurate, but for larger bots it's only accurate within 10k guilds iirc
True
i highly doubt that's what discord would like, scraping their oauth site
and they have to go to that page for thousands of bots, roughly every hour or so
yeahhhh who would scrape that?? ๐

even if it was 12 hours, still 20k+ requests
yeah, best way is to either have discord implement endpoints for getting bot stuff or have them post it themselves
very stinky smh
Yeah but I canโt even use APIโs lol
Isnโt it possible to make a bot that collects that information from that side and then sends it through Top.ggโs api?
discord would probably end up api banning you
if you were scraping their site every x mins/hours constantly, weeks on end
not api banning
ip banning
it's an estimation rounded to the 3 significant figures
even those 3 digits may be wrong
I only see it with Python, not with js
theres a py library
Is this list from bot managers?
quite possibly
owo
๐ณ
did anyone elses ads not go live tonight?
I didn't win a bid this week but if yours didn't go live maybe others are having the same issue too
If it works it ain't broken
Nah i mean that it is scraping the oauth site iirc
Did you redeem credits
Yay they added ma back
U need to redeem ur credits when month ends
ohok
nah, month ain't over yet lol
Tmr it will
same
what is this? https://i.gyazo.com/3185d40b4428d230c67f5df740f24fce.png
A 15$ credits you got 100 votes, now u can use those for bidding in auction
how u bid
hmm
Yea you can
if I get outbid, then I don't pay anything right?
sry if dumb question, i don't do auctions
Correct
But why
There's literally a JS lib for that

I don't understand a shit of that lol
what
Wdym you don't understand, it literally explans it in the easiest way, it even provides an npm package for auto posting server count

Multiple line strings are parsed with template strings in JS and TS
` not ' or "
Shit
Now I understand why I got that error lol
Everything breaks when I add one extra line lol
With, Nvm
I don't understand why it won't work lol
@neat valley Nothing in the output
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong
๐ฟ My guy trying to do Python in JavaScript
#topgg-api is exactly what this is for
Oh shit
It's python lol
Wait.
I'm confused
yea, we know
lmao, someone scammed your clicks

anyone know why the analytics are not showing under analyze for my paid advert?
z
votes reset when?
2 minutes
try votinh
i did
Yep
fuck man that's 2am for me
yEp i'm stupid
Still requires a new vote for them to be reset
anyone know why the analytics are not showing under analyze for my paid advert?
If they arenโt showing for you then DM Veld and he can get it fixed for you
How much time do I have to redeem my vote credits? And for how long can I use them after I redeemed them?
-credits
Auction Credits
What are they?
- If enough people vote for your bot or server per month, you have the ability to get credits that you can then use for auctions.
- Donโt know what auctions is? See here for how to apply.
- These auction credits can be used to pay for any winning bids you may make
- You CANNOT โwithdrawโ them for real money
How does the System Work?
- Each month, bot monthly votes reset
- If you get 100 votes on your bot in the month, you can redeem $15 worth of voting credits (canโt redeem till you actually get 101 votes)
- Any vote after 100 will be worth $1 per 1000 votes (or $.001 per 1 vote)
How Can I Redeem Them?
- At the end of the month, you will be eligible to redeem your credits (you redeem them on your bot or server's
Votespage on your botโs dashboard). You will have 30 days to redeem them before they expire. - After you redeem them, you have 31 days to use them before they expire (so you can technically stack 2 months worth)
**How can I Use them to Pay? **
- When you pay for your winning bid, you have the option to use your credits
- If your winning bid cost is more than the amount of credits you have, make sure to apply the credits first and then pay the rest with the supported payment providers
A more simplified, less detailed version can be found in #580510490074152961 after you get auctions access and any questions can be asked in #auctions-general.
Thank you very much!
anyone know why the rust tag under servers does not show analytics for the tag? also any idea why the minimum bid for rust tag under servers is $87? seems really odd considering server front page min = $50, top page servers min = $26, gaming servers min = $7
they should fix that lol
id love to invest weekly if it were a bit more reasonable
seems to be doing well as a trail for me, but i cant see my analytics under analyze : (
If they arenโt showing for you then DM Veld and he can get it fixed for you
they don't appear to know the reason for it. They manually lower the min bid each week but sometimes slips their mind.
yeah i dmed him, just waiting now
interesting
It's now April but no redeem button?
it takes some time to show up due to cacheing iirc
Oh ok
Still hasn't popped up
Lol
After redeeming the credits, you have 1 month to use them right?
Yes
It still doesn't show up BRUUU
I'm gonna login into another device
Also doesn't show of my other device
It's normal, you can either bid with credits or real money
But I think you'll get kicked out of auctions
Since u bid stupidly amount and you don't have enough money for it
But I think mee6 will save ya
I have $ 16 and mistyped it to $ 156 and I can't fix it? Is there a way to fix it
You can't
The only way to not pay for it is for 2 people to bid more than 156$
And then ur off the hook
yes outbid is perfect to not get kicked out
Mee6 and Rythm/Groovy will totally outbid him in top voted so he's safe
well thanks i'm new and i don't understand auction at all
yes sorry it's my fault
I'm just waiting for the redeem button to pop up and redeem ym credits so I can bid
Don't worry, last time mee6 bid 2k$ and groovy always tries to be first

broken again?
@low hinge really? thank you!
yooo that looks pog
Pogg
bruh
this is some weird shit
whose bot? 
@candid lily A turkish bot named ErensiBOT
it just took my credits and....
No emails, no pings, nothing regarding the win (runner up since the first user failed to pay. I thought the auc ended 2 days ago)
I dont believe runner ups get emails
Guys help
I literally wanna redeem my credits but there is no redeem button
Do I need to bid so the redeem button pops up or just wait again??
For the last 2 months, new users have not been required to vote, I added it back today ๐
Where did you find the redeem button, asking for a friend (it's meeeeeeeeeee) 
Where can I find that screen? (I'm new lol)

If you don't redeem your vote cash in a month, you can no longer redeem it the next month?
For example, I didn't have the option to redeem votes from February, only March
Credits expire at the end of the month if you don't redeem them
To prevent saving up a massive amount of credit
also my votes havent reset
now whether this is good news(wayyy more people are seeing my bot) or bad news (cant redeem)
have you gotten one vote yet?

it usually only clears on getting a vote
I'm sure I would have gotten a few
yea i can check
nevermind
thanks
vote webhooks were never broken
they seemed to work for me and a friends bot
I'm using basic sun.net.httpserver, never had any issues
There wasnโt a problem, it was just rewritten and you now must acknowledge the request






auctions is over
