- start to remove and advertise websites then have no activity like payeer casino and BMF 
they are both even heavily advertised on PV and PTCshare and to be honest i get sick of seeing those sites over and over again.

- and get to work on lower bets on PBG otherwise that one will never pick up

- All actiivity and focus seems to be on the games but taking a few days to sort out things on PV and PTCshare would be nice to see.

- Dont offer extra bap on sales but offer more website hits instead. distribute more tiny ads 
Really getting 50 hits for 1$ is really horrible . Results are verry bad at this moment as well so i cant call this quality advertising at all. And all we see is our own sites 80% of all the ads we get.
more tiny ads = more recycle ads = overall more activity. 

- Maybe spend more time/money on SEO for PV and PTCshare could be a good move as well.
We are around for a long time and still up and running and paying while all other PTC sites come and go.

- Add Faucetpay as a payout option ASAP

i would say enough on the list to be improved but if it never get any priority it will never happen

btw where is marc lately  ?

@asot650 I'd say we were in much worse situations before and managed to persist, so there's no real reason just yet to think we will sink. We're doing whatever in our limited power to prevent it.

I can see why we may see stubborn, and how a lot of things don't always make the most sense without seeing the full picture and the bull#### we have to deal with that is beyond our control and makes everything much harder and many things even impossible.

And I'll say this in the nicest way possible, but ideas on their own are in practice worth basically zero, without understanding how to execute them, or what limitations there are. So often what might look like we're being stubborn to the outside, is a result of many many factors we evaluate and discuss at large before fixating on any of them.

For example ? You put Texas hold'em as an example of the “holy grail”, yet fail to understand or take into account several aspects that make that a lot more complicated:
- you're assuming PBG & PPMG have a large playerbase, and that a poker game would be able to work and have enough people online at all times to work. Far from reality.
PV had 100s more active gamblers compared to them, and we did run consistent tournaments for a while with marginal success(starting to break even), and even there it was hard to fill rooms consistently. I do agree that rooms for real cash would generally appeal more people, but not on a niche site like PBG/PPMG which are limited by a specific processor. Poker would work with keeping that consistency up in PV and if PV kept at least the size of the userbase it used to have, but it would just be another game helping reduce BAP a bit, but nothing game changing.

Poker could also work on a multi-currency casino/site, that is mainly dedicated to poker, or a freemium version with a similar structure. Both these, would be huge projects in their own, and to properly execute costs could easily go up in the $50-100k region ? and even if we'd set them up, there's a super high chance we'd face legal and payment processor issues very soon because of “obvious reasons”.

Regarding the current games we're working on I elaborate on several lengthy posts the reasons in the news and in this topic in the past few months. If you're interested to understand more about those, I suggest to dig through them – because there's nothing much more I can explain.

I will say this though, sort of the shortened version that captures ONE of the main reasons why we are working on them – It is something I have control over and something we can improve on consistently without some bull#### happening (i.e. no licenses/legal structure/lost payment processors) and completely invalidating the effort and money invested. It's also something after a few games & experiences behind us to completely ditch would be foolish, as right now it's our only potential “stream of products” we could build on. Pretty much all other potential new projects risk “bull#### happening” as well as would require us to hire a new full-time top-tier programmer at a hefty price tag, to be able to efficiently and reliably do some of such potential projects.

On the topic of “make game apps”, that is unfortunately just such an ill-informed idea based around the common impression of people of “Look at this hugely successful game making billions, let's replicate that with our team of 2”. Making game apps profitably has a MUCH higher entry to market as it's way more crowded with new releases and monopolized by massive publishers and studios. It relies much more on heavy budgets, industry connections, upkeep, bigger teams and featuring than Steam for example.

Definitely agree with you in the last section ? it's definitely not just about cutting costs, which I hope emphasizes some of the points and explanations I am giving even more smile

And no worries, no offense taken – I encourage such discussion, but on the other hand, as I've got limited time (limited time that currently supports a lot of branches of mtv running) I also try to use my time in the most efficient/profitable manner as possible ? which unfortunately in the current state of things spending hours replying back and forth, going in depth about each decisions and reasoning is simply not it. I'd love us to implement many of the ideas people talk about, but I hope you can see many are simply not feasible in any short time-frame.

@jordy In practice our own websites are mainly fallbacks, and if we change a site to another won't in reality make any sort of a huge difference to their promotion, but it does a tiny bit still.
That said I'll double check the PPG ones and remove any remaining when I get a chance.

Regarding BA visits per we've already increased that to 100, and while I agree it might be worth trying increasing it further a bit (though it likely will have a minimal change in extra purchases of BA), doing that can also devalue ALL the rest of our other advertising options, which are more or less 100% going towards the ad pool, not increasing BAP debt, whereas if we encouraged more BA with those instead, it would worse BAP debt and in the long term make it worse.
So it's a delicate balance ? sure we could try giving out i.e. 1k views/BA and hope that encourages more purchases, but it could end up being a worse situation taking above things into account.


PTC/PV SEO is something we said we'll consider after we get to see results for PBG & PPMG from it, as for that to convert well on PTC/PV with the current earning potential & retention wouldn't make a big change. And again, it's something that costs to get sorted, and we can't just make up money for that from thin air. But it's definitely something on our list to consider as we've clearly said few times before.

“Just get to work on lower bets on PBG” - Right, because slosumo can sort out everything on his own smirk

There's currently no one other than me that can work on this, and it's my priority mtv programming task that will take a while to sort out.

Similar goes for faucetpay, and any other PV/PTC changes. Many of these things require intimate knowledge of our code, and even when I get to these things, I never was core programmer of these things and it takes time, which is hard to find amongst all my other obligations.

Spend some time to Add Referral commission from RP Trade, it will boost Referrer for to Earn Money from Referral Activity on RP Market,  Its available 24/7 and much more possibility to earn big by more Buy/Sell.

Its my old Request .. Consider it and give chance to Earn Commission with MTV RP trading.  Its surely boost the RP value.

Give 50% commission from MTV take on Trade.

todaywork,
Would this effectively kill 1 increment cash buy/sell as you would need at least 2 increments to give ref commission esp worth it to actually try and get people who want to buy/sell.

Do you think people can keep it moving with 2 increments?

Start offering to play games on Paidverts/PTCshare with their $-balance.

This way you have thousands of potential new real money customers.

(It is a lot harder to try to convince them to play on MTV, most probably don't even know the company-structure).

2 ideas

1. Use Coinflip (far and away the most successful product) and develop an option for people to play for Satoshis utilizing the Lightning network.

2. Create a clone of Paidverts but instead of clicking ads for cents, click ads for Satoshis.  The potential for the value of Sats to increase is huge.  The potential for the value of Cents to increase is zero.  So people would click these ads for far less reward because they want to own Bitcoin, resulting in bigger profit margins.

These are both reworks of something we have already developed.

Press your winners.

If you've not heard of Fold (unfortunately in the US only for now), it's basically a Sats back program, much like a loyalty card gives you points.  They literally had hundreds of thousands of people queuing for their product.  That's how much people want Sats.

My opinion is: PaidVerts and PTCShare are not attractive for new users anymore. If you invest 100 bucks it will take years to make any profit (the normal way). If you buy shares (no dividends, no increase). PaidVerts might be popular for gamblers. For me it's not the site it used to be.

For sure: You can trust the sites. You will get paid on time. Your questions will be answered.

But there should be a big change to make them more attractive for new users.

First of all, sorry, as I am using google translator. I just wanted to thank the administrators for taking the boat to this point, which is not an easy thing. Having said this, what is clear is that we have been "stranded" for years on a shore from which we cannot get out, and I think that together we must reflect and look for the best options. I am sure that among the most active members, there are people with good ideas that later the administration will be able to confirm to us if they are viable or not,and if we can finance it together . But what I said, I think it is the right time to stop and see what we want for MTV

You maybe should look at unfreezing the share market by lowering trading blocks to reflect the volume so as to increase trading revenue.

Also, all I ever see in the ads on MTV are MTV ads. You need to lower prices until you get to a point where customers will compete for those spots. If ads aren't selling prices are too high.

Would it be possible to bring back the RP market to PTCS? I think this would be the best way to make it very lucrative. If we start with a small number of RPs like 500k or 1 million, then I think this would put upward pressure on the RP price and help to eliminate BAP.

If the RP float ends up being too small then the site could sell more RPs into the market but I don’t think that would be necessary.

We could do this on a trial basis letting participants know it is experimental. I think we should at least have a debate on this to determine the viability. If people are willing to trade their BAP there for 30 cents on the dollar then I can’t see how than won’t be a positive thing over the long term even if it costs us something short term.

Turning RP market back on PTCshare would result in losing majority of BA sales, which not only provide dev funds significantly more compared to any RP trade fees comparatively, but also provide 40% to daily ad issue funds, which are already lacking. Similarly BAP burned by it is not as significant as you might think.

There were good reasons for us turning it off when we did, and the mentioned things improved immediately when we did so.

While we could try turning it on experimentally for a very limited time, that would generate similar expectations as regular Extra BAP sales do -> the big/knowledgable users would get used to it, and "exploit" them to get the best deal possible -> but that is worse for the company (BAP burn, BAP increase, dev funds/Ad funds generated).

Turning RP market on is only really good for a small portion of "knowledgable" users, who would use it to get better BAP rates and spend less money on it. Which in turn would result in a NET reduction of dev funds and ad pool funds generated, which are already lacking.


Edit: Also users turning/buying RPs off other users is really not beneficial to the company (again, the fees earned are negligible compared to other negatives it creates). The one thing that would potentially make sense and create an upside for the company (BAP burn, and with that tiny increase to i.e. $ per ad issue group distributed), would be for that market to only allow users buying RPs FROM portfolio only to burn that BAP (as again if users can sell their BAP at great rates, they will use this instead of buying BA) at a certain low rate, and it would allow them to then sell these for cash on the RP market.

But that would create additional supply in the RP market, so if the intention is to "push RP price high artificially", it would act against that.

I read the news about the dormant accounts that were banned and that triggered me about some things.

I would suggest to raise the account maintenance fees on inactive accounts exponentially. So, raise the fees for those accounts in time. (Or sweep the account-balances after some time, f.i. after half a year).

There are several advantages for doing this:

1 the money in those accounts is dead money. MTV needs to keep that money in reserve, while nothing is being done with it. We need to get that money working (keep the cash flowing).
2 when these accounts get hacked. the damage is smaller when the hack doesn't get detected.
3 members are encouraged to stay active, which is what we want.

You could also argue to do the same for BAP and RP. This will have some advantage, but not all mentioned.

Why would we need to "keep it in reserve"? Granted, yeah everyone could cash out at once. But if that were the case, we'd have larger issues aka the site said, sorry we are going to close our doors. Large companies "borrow" against all the time.

Which come to think of it, does BAP even needed to be repayed, if we were to close door with a mutual part of ways?

They keep saying it's a BONUS and not an INVESTMENT.

IDK even know why we have maintenance fees in the first place. But, if you do change any of it you have to give plenty pf warning to all old members.

And, as far as RP, that, just like FTQ, are set it and forget it and come back years from now. There is no way I want you taking back my RP.

YES, I am going to pause my activity here real soon. Too much work for next to nothing, esp vs say going to work a couple minutes early (and not clicking the ads).

I think what we need to remember is that the only way out of this comes down to the business making more money. I like some of the other members' ideas that are presented here but it won't change the fact that income has to grow to pay back any investments. At the same time I am kind of missing a clear direction when it comes to the long term goals of this business. 

It seems to me that most of the members this site has are gone and will never come back. I know for instance of two affiliates I have had on MTV. Both of them have active FTQ investments. I am 100% certain that both will never come back and have already written off their investments and don't even remember them. 

Overall I have to agree with the other members though: I won't really be around that much anymore in the future either. I will buy Forestator when it its out because I actually really enjoyed playing it and will also be available to do translations if needed but other than that I will just turn this into a "set it and forget it" type of investment.
