[neat valley]

yep

thx veld

ty

[low hinge]

cool beans

sorry guys

[mint topaz]

mine went 👍

[harsh monolith]

pog

[low hinge]

I'm never updating sequelize again

[neat valley]

np sorry for bothering

[low hinge]

i just wanted better typed queries to make life better

[mint topaz]

It be like that sometimes

[astral moat]

This is why it should have been 15 min not an hour

[neat valley]

where does the bids show up after payment

[harsh monolith]

Just want to point out that the thing I paid for haven't been removed from the open payments.

But I received the email so I guess we good

[low hinge]

lemme check

ah i see

yea i can fix those

[harsh monolith]

This weeks auctions were a fucking roller coaster

[neat valley]

true,btw does on https://auctions.top.gg/overview your bids show up?

darn mist it ya 25 min

[harsh monolith]

why is this relevant?

[neat valley]

since i get .I already payed

[honest marsh]

@low hinge I just payed, got receipt too , but it still says payment due

im guessing just give it some time to refresh?

[astral moat]

Just like all the previous times, yes

[low hinge]

yea on sec

[harsh monolith]

watch auctions screw us over and not display the ads at all

[low hinge]

nah ads will be fine

[harsh monolith]

that would be the cherry on top

[low hinge]

The update was already working for ads this week

[neat valley]

do you mean google ads ,does ad-blocker block it

[harsh monolith]

what?

[hexed epoch]

I'm confused how these CPM bids work. When I bid and paid last week for 1,720 impressions, my analytics only showed 1,100.

[final sluice]

dm veld for a partial refund

[icy cipher]

Firsttime? Xd

I think I got like 50 views for my 1.2k.

[low hinge]

kk

[hexed epoch]

First time doing CPM at least. Just not sure how it works

[low hinge]

@hexed epoch reach out to me in DMs

hopefully by next week it can be fully automatic

but not yet

[hexed epoch]

Oooh, gotcha

[severe eagle]

can you remove me from the auctions? I dont really plan on spending anything and its not like I am going to get anything with votes any time soon either (and even if I dont think that be enough to get anything)

[astral moat]

Just mute the channels

No point removing you when one day you might actually want to bid but won’t be able to cuz takes a few weeks to be accepted again

[severe eagle]

I already have a hard enough time saying I own a bot let alone trying to advertise it lol I think ill pass

[formal bane]

Still not sure if this is intended but slot 1 got 2k less impressions then slot 2. Got slot 1 and payed for 5k what happens if it’s the 7k

Also the Dashboard showed me that I’ll get minus 16.1k impressions which didn’t helped me in that situation

[astral moat]

Minus 16.1k means there were 16.1k ahead of you before you’d be within the estimated range

[formal bane]

Am 1st on the spot and should get the full views

[honest marsh]

It still says i have open payments
Can u verify its all good? @Veld#0001

@low hinge

[glossy flower]

did really nobody not pay or is the bot that names and shames broken

[low hinge]

Yea the notifications didn't show

but that's ok

[brisk cove]

Hm.

[low hinge]

lets hope this goes well

historical data should be fixed

[astral moat]

I think I’ve heard this before

[low hinge]

[low hinge]

mostly went smooth

just the first batch seemed to be stinky

I'll restart their publish

[low hinge]

Something went wrong as you might've seen, if you paid for your bid, could you reach out to me so I can set them as paid? Issue has been fixed, but early payers were impacted 😔 Sorry for the ping

[cyan oyster]

😦

[low hinge]

For context I need your order reference (looks like this: DBOTSBVxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxx)

Can be found in your receipt email

[rugged epoch]

oh i havent paid yet, i also didn't get an email saying i had even won an action - this is me finding out i won now lol

[neat valley]

can't i pay just one?@low hinge

[umbral thorn]

i already had the funds in my wallet but they haven't been taken out despite paying yesterday, should i just click "Pay all" in the open payments section

[low hinge]

If you haven't paid yet, don't pay them 😔

They're expired already

[harsh monolith]

Lmfao

So it could go worse

[rugged epoch]

booo

[neat valley]

Why

hm I am not affected by this right

[rugged epoch]

@low hinge why didn't i get an email?

[solid granite]

all good, i'll message

[umbral thorn]

so if i paid already and it doesn't show it, does that just mean i'm not getting an ad this week

[tired obsidian]

lmao just forgot can i pay now ? sorry :/

[kind dawn]

bruh I paid rn

[lunar jewel]

Hey! When do I have to pay by?

[unique bone]

Yea I’m waiting to pay right now

[glossy flower]

Ngl I love Tuesday mornings literally because I can go to bids and see every person who was like “failed to pay $1 on tag”

[dense zephyr]

[neat valley]

i got them too ;-;

[violet sand]

The payment window has already passed when you wrote that message

[neat valley]

where is the #bids channel

[neat valley]

locked since automation is spamming

[neat valley]

ok

[lunar jewel]

Does this mean I’m getting banned or should I still do it e.e

I kind of just forgot about it

[river gulch]

no, comes up how much you bid....
on 50$ and below, then will give you a second chance

[lunar jewel]

Alright

[grim wagon]

[low hinge]

I

[wide barn]

Seems like the logical next amount to bid

[low hinge]

I rewrote all the database logic for auctions in one night

because i never want to work with that library again

@dreamy summit it works

[wide barn]

[low hinge]

I know it could take time, yeah I understand....

[low hinge]

The system isn't done yet

[river gulch]

So I can't bid on Monday?

[low hinge]

Should be fine on monday

[neat valley]

Veld when will bids channel shows up for public?

[low hinge]

Once i have time to verify it has been fixed

[neat valley]

Alright

[river gulch]

good luck^^

[grim wagon]

discord.green is a troll im p sure

[neat valley]

It would be cool.If you can see the queue till your bots comes on cpm Bid
Like
Top page slot:
1.Bot 0 Imp. left
2.Bot 1000 Imp. left
3. ....

[neat valley]

👍

[river gulch]

#557980762675085333

[neat valley]

locked since it gets spammed by auto bid and internal bug

yes,when bug is fixed

[scenic vault]

@low hinge why did you even use sequlize

Use knex or mikroorm

Bruh

I tried all ORMs and sequlize is biggest shit

[low hinge]

I wasn't the person who built the first iteration of auctions 🤡

[scenic vault]

Who was

[low hinge]

we use https://prisma.io now

[scenic vault]

Yeah prisma is ok

Can I be a part of your auctions backend team?

/j

[low hinge]

you can apply

[scenic vault]

Where

[low hinge]

[e-mail]

[scenic vault]

Bruh

What do you need? CV?

[low hinge]

[scenic vault]

I need to change my english CV

[scenic vault]

ok done

ah shit veld has my phone now

[wicked python]

I’m not reviving the SMS code :/

[low hinge]

Question

What do you guys think of removing weekly auctions

[violet sand]

what would they get replaced with

[burnt barn]

^

[neat valley]

Are you planning for Monthly auctions?

[dense zephyr]

Huh

How long would each auction be then? Bi-weekly? Monthly?

[blissful shell]

Did u guys also noticed someone green is literally bidding in every page

[low hinge]

Auctions that keep on going

[dense zephyr]

And this would still be with CPM bids or?

[astral moat]

Need to explain way more before we can give our opinion lol

[dense zephyr]

^

[blissful shell]

Discord.green is literally bidding on every page I dont think it's legit

[neat valley]

Teach this users they don’t know how to bids wtf 😕

11$cpm for 3$ ? xD

[astral moat]

Don’t complain lol

[charred silo]

😭

[flint dagger]

Hello @violet sand, I’m sorry to bother you but can you show us your google sheet about when each bot should be shown for the new page please? I really wonder when my bot is going to get its impressions

[violet sand]

Not at home rn but will check in a bit

[flint dagger]

No problem, thank you 👍🏻

[violet sand]

expect a full refund

doesn't look like you'll get any impressions this week from new page - slot 2

it's at toph right now, meaning bloxlink didnt even get any yet
Bloxlink would get more impressions than any of the others before combined, so its like very unlikely that you'll get any

[flint dagger]

Thank you so much!

[brisk cove]

I love auctions so far.

Some people are rich, I won't be able to bid on those top viewed slots.

[round lily]

what happened to the bids channel? :p

[brisk cove]

If it's hidden I'm happy.

Gives some users a higher chance of winning the bid.

For those who don't check the site or email.

[round lily]

i wanted to check how many impressions i paid for last :p

[brisk cove]

Check the site?

[brisk cove]

What bot is yours?

[violet sand]

hidden until a bug is fixed

[round lily]

emoji bot

[violet sand]

also i'm not sure how it would be giving anyone a higher chance of winning

[brisk cove]

Oh good

[round lily]

why?

[brisk cove]

The discord.green bot scares me

[round lily]

lol

why

[brisk cove]

Their budget looks immense

[brisk cove]

What does this mean?

The bid amount.

[low hinge]

read the massive warning text

[brisk cove]

$ @ $

Oh sorry.

So sorry.

[violet sand]

1.50$ CPM at a 3$ limit, the linked help page explains a lot more

[brisk cove]

How much money is that in total.

[low hinge]

3$

[brisk cove]

Sorry veld.

I was just making sure.

CPM $2.20 @ $200 might be complicated to read. What it means is $2.20 per thousand impressions with a spending limit of 200$.CPM $2.20 @ $200 might be complicated to read. What it means is $2.20 per thousand impressions with a spending limit of 200$.

Read this so I was like is this gonna cost $300

[low hinge]

Fair, but there's a comma in between

or wait

there isn't

[brisk cove]

Yeah...

I'm just doing small bids, and see how it turns out before I make any bigger bids.

[scenic vault]

thats actually pretty big CPM

[brisk cove]

Huh?

[scenic vault]

I usually have $0,5 for 10k views

[brisk cove]

It's not gonna cost me $100.

[scenic vault]

Not here, but on google and facebook

[brisk cove]

Wait you pay per click?

[scenic vault]

CPM

not CPC

[brisk cove]

So how much will that cost me

[scenic vault]

$3 limit

=> $3

[brisk cove]

It's not gonna exceed $3

So it's fine

[brisk cove]

I mean what?

0.5 for 10k views?

Wth

[scenic vault]

well yeah

I mean

literally 0.003 rubles CPM

[brisk cove]

What did you set your budget to?

[scenic vault]

its not topgg auctions*

[brisk cove]

Oh.

[violet sand]

gotta keep in mind that it really depends on the countries you're advertising to, time of year etc

You should see a significantly higher CTR on top.gg (i think) considering your product should match with what the person is looking for anyway (although its not personalized)

[scenic vault]

Actually it’d be good for topgg and customers to use CPC

Afaik there’s some tags with that system

[lilac copper]

did we finally do away with the bids channel

can we go ahead and get rid of the cosmic dankers people who have bid over 15k on server tags and has like 20 people in their server

[violet sand]

temporarily

its supposed to come back once a issue is fixed

[neat valley]

and auto bid feature ?

still broken

[distant sparrow]

Ikr

[brisk cove]

Hey.

the bots in the dark/dimmed are outbidded right?

[grim wagon]

i feel like discord.green is a troll

bidding on every page

[brisk cove]

its not

I know the owner/guy

kinda I talked to him

he for sure has the budget

[low hinge]

yes

[brisk cove]

f

[low hinge]

I opened bids again

[mortal forge]

Nice 👌

[low hinge]

lets hope everything goes well, all tests passed with the new DB implementation. And I've tested the flow, so

[gritty bough]

my bids are set, let's hope I win 💪

[umbral thorn]

i keep getting an error everytime i try to make a new ad, regardless of the content

[low hinge]

Ah. @umbral thorn I see the issue

will fix

[umbral thorn]

cool thanks

[river gulch]

welcome in capitalism, they often appeared on promoted slots and tags, so you can assume that they have budget....

[worn vector]

Veld is going to be sitting pretty good after Cosmic Dankers payout in the auctions lmao

[glossy flower]

ive managed to get in a day and a half what its struggled to get all week

[low hinge]

That's how CPM works

[hidden narwhal]

https://gyazo.com/045e7d30c004961fd8d7938d95bfccf0

[glossy flower]

yeah i know

i just found it amusing

[hidden narwhal]

Bro this is what pisses me off

[glossy flower]

[hidden narwhal]

They get free money

From the site

[glossy flower]

no they dont

[low hinge]

?

They are both paying users

[hidden narwhal]

credits yeah

[low hinge]

no

[glossy flower]

no

have you seen how many votes mee6 get

[low hinge]

for credits they need votes

neither groovy nor mee6 uses votes

[hidden narwhal]

well I will just keep forcing their bids up then cause fuck em

[glossy flower]

they barely get 1k

[low hinge]

That's not really nice

[hidden narwhal]

I can afford it anyways

[glossy flower]

thats quite mean actually, and if you end up outbidding them then you have to pay that or you're banned from auctions

more likely after saying that

[low hinge]

I mean if he is intending to pay for the bids he does, it's all good

[hidden narwhal]

I could do a 10k bid

idgaf

[glossy flower]

do it

[low hinge]

🤔 I don't think he can

[hidden narwhal]

max is 2.5

[low hinge]

his spending limit should be default

[glossy flower]

oh wait yeah

good point

[scenic vault]

yo veld am I rejected?

[glossy flower]

i get an extra $71

[scenic vault]

[glossy flower]

[hidden narwhal]

lmao mee6 just rips like 100 every time in the auto

[glossy flower]

yeah cuz they've got their own gold mine

lmao

mfw 10k doesn't mean much to mee6

[scenic vault]

money machine

[low hinge]

nice domain btw

[glossy flower]

guess you're paying 2k

[hidden narwhal]

aight well lets see if groovy decides to burn money

[glossy flower]

unlikely

[hidden narwhal]

good

[glossy flower]

nik rarely goes above 2k

[scenic vault]

ymean https://mee6.xyz/ ?

[low hinge]

discord.green

[scenic vault]

ooo

pog

[low hinge]

pretty sure discord-related domains are hard catches now

[scenic vault]

yeah

[scenic vault]

veld whats about that tho

[hidden narwhal]

@low hinge question and I guess you don't have to answer but what state are you in that requires tax on advertising

[low hinge]

You're required to pay your own state's taxes

Not my state

[scenic vault]

he's legal entity

[neat valley]

Veld, I only have 15$ now. But I bidded for 16$

[low hinge]

[glossy flower]

holy shit

[hidden narwhal]

hmm okay I have a handful of companies also just odd but it's aight

[low hinge]

that's not very smart

[glossy flower]

ive found a discord link that's $2

[neat valley]

Will i get banned now?

[scenic vault]

Dbots B.V.

[low hinge]

probably not

actually we registered Top.gg as a trade name now

[neat valley]

Oh

So it has a TM

[scenic vault]

it costs like a ton in russia

how much is that in netherlands?

[low hinge]

no, not a trademark

[neat valley]

Oh

[scenic vault]

TM and name are both $2000 here

[neat valley]

Per year?

[scenic vault]

if you want to have mark and name you should pay $4000

[scenic vault]

5 years iirc

[neat valley]

Oh

[brisk cove]

@hidden narwhal Good luck.

[glossy flower]

omg veld wanna drop 4.85k on discord.life

[brisk cove]

The people doing those high bids get me uneasy

[scenic vault]

guys imma make an ad

https://discordbots.org/

[low hinge]

im good but thanks

[brisk cove]

What is the point of discord.life?

[glossy flower]

but its $25 renewal

so cheap

[brisk cove]

Imagine dropping nearly 5k on a domain

[scenic vault]

imagine

ok hold my beer

[glossy flower]

people do

people literally buy domains just to sell them at a higher price

[brisk cove]

🤣

Rich people, amirite?

[hidden narwhal]

discord.life isn't worth it but some domains are

[neat valley]

My brother does it.

[hidden narwhal]

simply based on traffic

[brisk cove]

the bids man

[glossy flower]

its always domains with rare tlds too

[brisk cove]

1k, jesus

that's too high for me

[glossy flower]

sometimes people pick them up for really cheap too

[neat valley]

My brother will buy cheaper domains and sell it for high costs lol

[scenic vault]

these guys spend a shittion just to promo their bot

[brisk cove]

yeah wtf

2k on this

its not even needed

sometimes you can do 1728 and get the same amount of impressions

for instance

[hidden narwhal]

I forced the bid up 1k

[scenic vault]

do i bid

[hidden narwhal]

cause of the automation stuff

[glossy flower]

up to you but I hope you can pay it

[brisk cove]

you cant affrod that?

[glossy flower]

[low hinge]

[brisk cove]

2.5k frick that dude

[glossy flower]

[brisk cove]

[low hinge]

[brisk cove]

[hidden narwhal]

I don't see your wordmark in the USPTO

[brisk cove]

LMAO

[gritty bough]

I approve of botlings

[flint dagger]

Quick question, when are we refunded for our ad not showing up last week?

[brisk cove]

When veld makes the refund system or something

[low hinge]

trade name != trademark

[scenic vault]

Petition to rename reviewers to Botlings

[flint dagger]

what?

[low hinge]

soon

[brisk cove]

When he makes auto refund.

[gritty bough]

Ah hello Veld, how you doing?

[low hinge]

i haven't had time to finalize the system yet

[brisk cove]

Manually refunding people is a pain lmao

[flint dagger]

So this means I'm not getting refunded for today

[low hinge]

[gritty bough]

[brisk cove]

At-least you'll get refunded.

[flint dagger]

Yeah but when

[brisk cove]

Some websites have no refund policy

lmao

[scenic vault]

how much money are you waiing for?

[flint dagger]

$52

[brisk cove]

Oh.

[flint dagger]

Or something like this

[scenic vault]

or with my 2k buy news ones

[glossy flower]

When most of that money goes to medal

[low hinge]

🤔

Not really

[hidden narwhal]

wdym

[glossy flower]

I thought medal took most of topggs income then just paid you out of it

[neat valley]

Who is the owner of medal?

[low hinge]

most of the money goes to top.gg, people are being paid quite handsomely

in return they have big ownership

[glossy flower]

Fair enough, buy some AirPods max

[low hinge]

nah

i have beyerdynamics for my headphones

[glossy flower]

Ooo

[low hinge]

these babies

[neat valley]

Well top.gg will get auction money and google will also pays for google ads

[glossy flower]

Better dynamic is an awesome choice tbh

Do you have an amp tho

[low hinge]

i used to have the closed back

yep

[glossy flower]

Good good

[low hinge]

and a shure sm7B

bit overkill for the 12 zoom meetings i do a week

[glossy flower]

[low hinge]

but i enjoy streaming

[glossy flower]

Have you ever heard of Fio

[low hinge]

which is why i initially bought it

[glossy flower]

Fiio

[low hinge]

nope

looks... expensive

[glossy flower]

They do dacs but they’re meant to power like big beefy 300ohm odd headphones

They have cheaper ones

Like the uhhh

Wait lemme find it

Btr5

You can power monolith headphones out of that thing considering how small it is

But it means you got insane headphones that are literally just as portable as your AirPods

But sound much better

[low hinge]

I see

[glossy flower]

Albeit the fiio m15 goes up to like 2.5k

Btr5 is like $100

[low hinge]

tbh that sounds really audiophile

but i dont even listen to flacs

[glossy flower]

I think they have android on them so you can play hi res with something like qobuz

[low hinge]

ing

for a stable auctions day

[glossy flower]

[low hinge]

lowkey nervous because i rewrote the entire app's database infrastructure last week

[vestal bramble]

I'm just praying I don't forget for 5 minutes this time and come back to realize I won nothing and missed the ending by 2 minutes

[low hinge]

oh btw

the estimated impressions aren't fully correct for CPM bids atm

they're being averaged by all the individual campaigns from last time

keep that in mind

[astral moat]

Nice of you to let us know with 4 minutes to go

[vestal bramble]

I'm just experimenting to see how this all works, I'm paying for them with vote credits so it's not like it's a huge deal if it doesn't do as well as it says

[low hinge]

i've mentioned this 4 times in the last week

it's a good thing for u tho

means that there's more impressions than being paid for

[vestal bramble]

[glossy flower]

free impressions? pog

[hidden narwhal]

I mean some of them are paying crazy numbers for like no clicks

I dont get it

[dense zephyr]

Who

[hidden narwhal]

Or the people have no idea how to use the new system so their bids make no sense lmao

[low hinge]

who is dis cosmic dankers

he better pay up or

[glossy flower]

20cpm with $2 max bid

[dense zephyr]

[hidden narwhal]

Well take this

https://gyazo.com/c84340ca1b1092127fb6a71919af1d92

[neat valley]

or 15$ 15$

[hidden narwhal]

ignore the 2500 kid

but the other person....250 for 231 clicks?

yikes

[glossy flower]

wait what tag is that

lmao

[low hinge]

the clicks are kinda off for servers atm

[neat valley]

top server ig

[hidden narwhal]

"Server top page"

[hidden narwhal]

I mean every server category is horrible in clicks

gets "views"

[low hinge]

yes

as i said

[dense zephyr]

[low hinge]

they're not properly being registered

what page

[dense zephyr]

Bid

Nvm refreshing twice fixed it

[low hinge]

bid/beta?

[dense zephyr]

Yea beta

[glossy flower]

rip stable auctions day

[low hinge]

can you share the log with me?

[glossy flower]

[neat valley]

That was really no stonks.Is slot 2 broken?

[low hinge]

nah he chose to use beta

[dense zephyr]

Grr

[neat valley]

does auction timer append it self

[neat valley]

select product and then bid

[low hinge]

yea you gotta select the product twice

it doesn't select it when initializing

its kinda cringe lol

[dense zephyr]

[low hinge]

today is going pretty smooth

[hidden narwhal]

https://gyazo.com/9bcbcf517ad5cac600ca7c9a47b1795a

these guys are having fun

[neat valley]

? if someone bids?

[glossy flower]

i feel like the trending tag is the worst one to go for

[hidden narwhal]

1k clicks lmao

[glossy flower]

because people get entranced by the views

[flint dagger]

@neat valley yes?

[glossy flower]

bu dont realise its 1k clicks

like some of the $5-10 tags get that

[flint dagger]

Read #580510490074152961

[dense zephyr]

Is the 1k even correct? When I had trending new before I got like 4k clicks or smth

[glossy flower]

still

[neat valley]

it comes upto your product

I won i paid what i do now ?😕

[glossy flower]

4k clicks for $350 is kinda sad

[hidden narwhal]

you cry and wait

they go live tmrw

[glossy flower]

mood

[low hinge]

?

[glossy flower]

i mean music tag gets 40k and it rarely goes past double that

[low hinge]

?

what tag are you talking about

[flint dagger]

Music tag went for 1k last week

[glossy flower]

oh

front page trending

because people dont scroll

[dense zephyr]

People barely scroll down the page

[low hinge]

oh i see 3.7k clicks on last week historical

[celest skiff]

Dam that server dude bid 10k 😳

[low hinge]

he better pay up

[flint dagger]

Veld, how do you explain that top page slot 1 got 250k views and slot 2 got 125k views?

[glossy flower]

inb4 cosmic dankers doesn't pay

[celest skiff]

A part of me wished another rich dude bid 2501

[glossy flower]

hey veld is the name n shame back

[low hinge]

no clue

[flint dagger]

I mean, it should be the same right?

[hidden narwhal]

Not really

[flint dagger]

Oh yeah, on mobile it's different

[low hinge]

The difference is the rolling average

[celest skiff]

Veld im sorry but

Veldamort

[low hinge]

yea that was my halloween nickname in 2018

[flint dagger]

What do you mean by rolling average?

[vestal bramble]

auctions when I forget about them: finish in 2 minutes
auctions when I remember them and am participating in them: takes 20 minutes to end

[low hinge]

Count Veldimir was also a good one tho

[glossy flower]

Veldamort

[celest skiff]

I am a man of culture

[glossy flower]

Veldmart

sounds like an american shopping centre

[celest skiff]

V sauce stands for Veld sauce

[dense zephyr]

Ngl I like the button transitions on /beta

[low hinge]

finna buy wallmart

i like everything more about /beta

mostly the codebase

[celest skiff]

I won my bid for 31 bucks

And I saw the 2500 train

And I dodged it

[glossy flower]

oh fuck

[celest skiff]

Yo veld if he can't pay

[glossy flower]

/beta is a thing

[celest skiff]

Do the second winners get first place.

[low hinge]

yes

[celest skiff]

Dam I should've tried

Honestly I think he'll pay up

[glossy flower]

oh my god the animations

[low hinge]

ugh

i need to keep the tabs open

soannoying to swap auctions in beta

[glossy flower]

would be nice to have a scroll effect on this, maybe a blur on the auctions bids behind to separate it

[celest skiff]

[low hinge]

scroll effect?

[neat valley]

btw Veld do you bid at your own system?

[glossy flower]

uhhh

like

[celest skiff]

My hayfever is killing me so I need to go

[glossy flower]

gradually expands

[low hinge]

sometimes

[celest skiff]

Happy bidding folks

[glossy flower]

rather than just appearing then disappearing

[low hinge]

I probably will steal @winter socket 's animations once we merge components

[glossy flower]

animations just make something so much more pretty

[low hinge]

pretty isn't important for auctions tho

[glossy flower]

true

[winter socket]

[glossy flower]

i mean a lot of auctions systems generally look like they're from the 90s so I dont think anyone can complain much

[winter socket]

once we merge components and i can get some time to familiarise myself with auctions, maybe i can give it a touch of animations
if veld doesn't mind me tinkering around with his code-baby

[glossy flower]

just do it and dont tell him

he wont know its fine

[winter socket]

true

[glossy flower]

its what i do, change it and make it look good then someone else can fix the issues i have made

[winter socket]

i'd totally do that too but i love my job 🫀

[glossy flower]

getting fired

just make him think he did it

itll be fine

[low hinge]

dw i seem to break it on daily basis

[glossy flower]

moment

[winter socket]

mood

i'm currently in process of breaking everything but in parts

[low hinge]

nice

[glossy flower]

thats how it should be done

as long as it's in parts it doesn't demoralise you enough to stop doing it and contemplate your life choices

[winter socket]

oh i'm definitely contemplating my life choices

[glossy flower]

[low hinge]

should've done it earlier

[winter socket]

i knowwww

one thing led to another and then BAM 4 million lines

[glossy flower]

mood

now time to cut that down to 3-4k

[low hinge]

Can't say i didn't warn u though

[winter socket]

i think i have one more PR to top them all off, and then the last one will be all the "little" things i did

[low hinge]

that's all good

as long as the nav changes are last

[winter socket]

you're welcome to start checking them all out now

[low hinge]

link in DM

[hidden narwhal]

is the auctions open source?

/built of a software

[glossy flower]

god no

imagine if auctions was OS

have topgg auctions applications

pogging

[hidden narwhal]

There are tons of OS auction systems

and paid ones

So that's why I was curious as I have to find a system for my site

[neat valley]

make own yourself how hard is it?

[glossy flower]

i mean in theory its not extremely difficult but theory isn't real world

[low hinge]

I'm planning to allow other people to use our auctions system once it's out of beta

not OSS tho

[glossy flower]

would be poggers

[neat valley]

It would work,but when you code in speedrun: it won't be efficient

[hidden narwhal]

okay cool lmk

[brisk cove]

Ads go live Tuesday right?

[hidden narwhal]

yeah

[brisk cove]

Wohoo

[fossil gorge]

This is my first time bidding on this system - so just to confirm - if our bid got first place and we didn't get outbid, the ads will go live this Tuesday as long as we've paid? sry if this question has been asked before

[hidden narwhal]

idk what time though

assuming 3pm also EST

[hidden narwhal]

yeah

[glossy flower]

8PM BST

[fossil gorge]

👍 Gotcha, thanks for the confirmation

[grim wagon]

oh bst

2pm cst
3pm est

[glossy flower]

but yeah

it can take up to like 40 odd minutes to actually show tho because topgg has a distributed cache, so come 8 o clock all the caches are updating themselves

[fossil gorge]

hmm, good to know

makes sense

[grim wagon]

topgg just crashes the second it loads it all in

[glossy flower]

a lot of people come in here come 8:01 and are like "wtf why my ad not live"

[carmine ledge]

Help

[glossy flower]

infiniy clicks

[carmine ledge]

Ikr

[glossy flower]

[carmine ledge]

[abstract yoke]

0/0.000000000000000001 is infinity too. but it's much smaller infinity

[carmine ledge]

Lol

[abstract yoke]

there are infinite rates of infinity

[carmine ledge]

There’s diff kinds of infinity tho

[abstract yoke]

infinite kinds

[carmine ledge]

uh wtf

@low hinge I got charged but its not showing up in overview...

[cloud pollen]

Still waiting for my impressions from last week 😅

$50 for 30k in New tag I think and haven't gotten any of them yet

[astral moat]

If you aren’t sure, check your analyze tab.

And what do you mean last week

[cloud pollen]

Last Monday i paid $50 for 30k impressions in New slot 2 and have 0 so far in analyze tab, here's to hoping I get them all tomorrow (or get credit back)

T-minus 12 hours 😅

[celest skiff]

Divide by 0

[wicked python]

Anyone got any advice starting out?

[neat valley]

for?

[wicked python]

Ya know, just started out with auctions

[neat valley]

#580510490074152961 and just read the post ,it is kinda useful

[mortal forum]

so in auctions do i pay for impressions or just to have the ad displayed on a specific page?

[astral moat]

Depends which tag

Is it a cpm tag or not

They’re all for specific pages but the length it’s up depends on which type of bidding

[neat valley]

Hey guys i read the auction welcome and I'm just want to be sure

The ad will be live in 3 hours?

[low hinge]

1 hour

[neat valley]

Ok thank you!

I kinda was confused with the times

[brisk cove]

Can't wait until ads are live! Wohoo.

[neat valley]

There is a glitch or something?

https://gyazo.com/a6da4e3a1791dc23320c785804f3d721

[low hinge]

i am investigating this rn

[neat valley]

Ok

[cold venture]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[low hinge]

how tf does this even happen

[neat valley]

😦

[low hinge]

oh

wtf

[neat valley]

Did you fix it?

[low hinge]

deploying now

[neat valley]

Awesome

[low hinge]

and I'll let the rollout process happen again

[neat valley]

What does it means?

[low hinge]

it'll set the correct bids now

[neat valley]

Oh ok 🙂

Rythm again

[low hinge]

give it some time

[neat valley]

Oh ok

[low hinge]

it takes more than 1 second

[neat valley]

Hahahaahahahahaha

[worldly cedar]

when will ads go live?

[neat valley]

It's not working rn

[hidden narwhal]

Upvote

[neat valley]

He's trying to fix it

[worldly cedar]

:/

[worldly cedar]

wdym?

[hidden narwhal]

Like I want to know also

[low hinge]

in a lil bit

[worldly cedar]

ah xd

wanted to see the ads up before i went to sleep but no i guess sad

[hidden narwhal]

Not a priority response rn, but did that guy dark really pay 2.5k @low hinge

[low hinge]

nah, i removed him from bidding

[hidden narwhal]

kk

[low hinge]

ads have been gone live now

wait for cache and all should be good

[worldly cedar]

oo

[neat valley]

YAY!

[worldly cedar]

what was wrong?

[low hinge]

so i rewrote the query to make sure we can include payment data when moving the ad live

e.g. when someone in CPM auctions doesn't pay

we can mark them as not ok

[fossil gorge]

my bot's ad just went live on the certified page let's gooooooo

hyped

[low hinge]

nice

[hidden narwhal]

How long does it usually take for the ads to stick to a page?

[low hinge]

~5 minutes

[hidden narwhal]

kk thanks

[low hinge]

are you using a CPM auction?

[hidden narwhal]

Yes, but I’m referencing the main page

The top voted bots

If I refresh like 4-5 times it changes the top slots to Rythm again

But my guess is that in an hour it will be fine

No worries

[low hinge]

yea its just a few of the nodes updating

[mortal forum]

what does cpm mean

oh wait nvm cost per thousand impressions

how do i find out if an auction is a cpm auction

[astral moat]

You would be inputting 2 numbers and it would be a slot 1 or slot 2

[mortal forum]

oh ok

btw when do the auctions start and end

each week

[astral moat]

#580510490074152961

[neat valley]

When ads get stop on moderation tag ?😕

I mean ending time 😐

[river gulch]

Ads starts on Tuesday 21:00 GMT +1 and ends Tuesday on 21:00 GMT +1

UTC is 19:00 , when I am not wrong

[wicked python]

Does anyone know any good tips for starting out to win some ads? For cheap

[neat valley]

Bid on small tags

and mostly bid on CPM

[wicked python]

Tbh my bot is a moderation bot bot the tags for that mee6 and stuff bid over $100 on

Is there a way to retract a bid because I accidentally bid below the minimum

#bids

Mine is embotic

[mortal forum]

how does cpm work

like what does $.50 @ $2 mean?

[neat valley]

You pay $0.50 for every 1000 impressions. So, You will get 4k impressions for $2. Multiply 0.50 with 4 and you will get the answer 2.

[mortal forum]

oh ok

so thats the best way to auction

if u have a tight budget

and do u get refunds too?

if u do not get that many impressions?

[neat valley]

yes earlier ,but atm veld is working on a auto refund system

[mortal forum]

ok

btw can i pay for auctions and the tax exclusively with credit earned from bot votes?

[neat valley]

You bid 1$ for 1$ spending limit. right

[wicked python]

Yh
