Actually, they are now. CloudGames pays publishers. Dunno what the rates are like, mind you - I've moved on from all that now - but it could theoretically be possible to do something like RadioLoyalty or EngageMe where you earn a cent every couple of hours or something.

But this would be the wrong forum, that'd go in feature requests.

It was a "sharing" pizza from Pizza Hut, which turned out to be the same size as a normal pizza from my local takeaway that costs £6.70. I thought I was getting one of those massive pizzas that are actually big enough to share.

I spent £17.50 on a pizza for my staff at work.

£17.50.

Let me say it one more time for emphasis.

£17.50.

I used to like pizza, but not after buying one for £17.50.

Not true. I know everything, just ask my other half.

Traffic stats don't mean much.

We know Clixsense lost money on bulk PTC ads - so if that decline in traffic were people who actually cost money, lowering the traffic rate is an increase in profitability.

A whole bunch of traffic exchanges died over the whole Paypal and Payza thing too, while the most well known of them still exists, but also stopped paying - so a reduction in traffic could well be a reduction in these low quality traffic sources too.

It's better to have a hundred people that earn you money, then a million that cost you.

That's not to say everything is going grand, and all is well - just that you haven't got access to the right metrics. If you wanted to raise an eyebrow at Clixsense, raise it at the members who did lots of surveys and offers but disappeared from the forum, not at the traffic stats.

If it's really a real person's real computer on a real, normal consumer line, if you used a remote desktop, nobody would know, and you could show her how to use it without anyone being any the wiser.

If you're really using it as a VPN, or running a remote desktop in a data centre or something like that, thinking it's a cunning way to cheat, you'll be caught - it's not difficult to discover whether an IP is allocated to a consumer line or not these days.

Quote:An elderly man was sitting alone on a dark path. He wasn't certain of which direction to go, and he'd forgotten both where he was traveling to and who he was. He'd sat down for a moment to rest his weary legs, and suddenly looked up to see an elderly woman before him. She grinned toothlessly and with a cackle, spoke: "Now your *third* wish. What will it be?"

"Third wish?" The man was baffled. "How can it be a third wish if I haven't had a first and second wish?"

"You've had two wishes already," the hag said, "but your second wish was for me to return everything to the way it was before you had made your first wish. That's why you remember nothing; because everything is the way it was before you made any wishes." She cackled at the poor man. "So it is that you have one wish left."

"All right," he said, "I don't believe this, but there's no harm in wishing. I wish to know who I am."

"Funny," said the old woman as she granted his wish and disappeared forever. "That was your first wish."

You probably can cure intrinsic mortality. You definitely can't cure extrinsic mortality. Anyone who sells you immortality is selling you snake oil - which is a shame, because the whole of modern medicine is basically the search for a cure to intrinsic mortality, and it'd sound much less insane without this kind of person.

Nah, you're screwed. You need to go back to 1607, or 1709 depending on which of the recent problems happens to be your problem, or wait for an update. Lots of people are screwed at the minute.

Not any specific player - the fact that there are significant players at all. In a genuinely decentralised system, there are, by definition, no players.

But basically, what he said, yeah.

The problem is the network, conceptually, relies on ever increasing computational power to process transactions. Someone alone in their bedroom with a Raspberry Pi can't take part as an equal with somebody in a datacentre with cheap/free electricity.

That means centralisation. It doesn't matter what the community wants, it doesn't matter how smart the developers are, it only matters what the miners want.

They've essentially reinvented banking. Sure, you can pay individual people with cash/bitcoin in a decentralised way, but it's the central banks/miners that control the real money.
