Todays fast tracks have been sent!

* Reminder *
If you find a security exploit within MTV/PV, and you tell us about it (without first trying to cashout/spend your illgotten gains - we'll give you a $100 cash finders fee!

There was some downtime at the end of the server day last night, as the programmers are working on partitioning one section of the database. As there are a few queries that are scanning a table with 100million+ rows; and it takes forever! 3-4minutes! So that's obviously a major drain on server resources if one user can occupy an entire server core for all that time. Meanwhile the other 500-1000 requests per second are bottlenecked between the remaining cores.

That process, along with our new database server installation will likely continue this evening. So around the end of the server day +/- an hour, expect another hour or two of downtime for maintenance / transitioning to our upgraded DB server.

I'm talking with iweb at the moment to firstly consolidate our billing; as currently they bill every server separately. And it's a bit of a pain having 7-8 bills a month... And when we consolidate that; I'll try and get them to work in a bulk discount... And also i'm trying to make an arrangement with them, to install new hardware more quickly. As currently it takes 4-7days to upgrade our hardware; as they waste a bunch of time with contracts, red tape, and payment before even beginning installation. And that's no good! We need to upgrade real fast if the site is under heavy traffic - we'll worry about the paperwork afterwards. So i'll see what they say about that.

I forgot to mention the other day, that Carlos finally got our SSL certificate changed to the correct name. So that looks way better... And we seem to have picked the most anal of all SSL companies; they take the verification to epic proportions; they have so many requirements it's unbeleivable. But we've jumped through all those hoops, and that's that!

Next we're working on additional payment processors, and Carlos is looking into opening more bank accounts. And we may have a solution for an account in the US... But it's early days with that, we'll see how it goes!

Also, Carlos is getting real chummy with our PayPal account manager. They might remove or substantially decrease our rolling reserve & other fees soon... Which could be interesting, as it'll unlock a huge block of capital that we can then put into a bank account; and potentially use as leverage to open a merchant account. Which may then facilitate credit card deposits / cashouts... But again, early days there - but the potential is interesting... As we grow a bit more, and sit on more and more assets - it'll definitely open doors for us. So that'll be interesting.

* I was playing with the distribution percentages today trying to get an even curve for the top groups. It'll change again tomorrow (or Sunday); as i'm pretty sure one of the 50's will jump up to 100m.

Oh, and i've seen the first working demo of our new login process. We're just building the PV version, and then we'll put both of those live at the same time.

We're phasing out Western Union. It's not an option to use at scale; and it's a pain in the butt to use even for one transaction.

No idea at the moment... all I know is that its real expensive to use (Regular bank fees + 5% per transaction - but we'll absorb the fees via dev funding), and it's not a virtual account. It can receive national (US) transfers via ABA, or international via SWIFT.

But apparently its virtually impossible for a foreigner to open a bank account in the USA. So this might be our only option.

Carlos is looking into it. We'll see how it evolves - but expanding our payment methods is his sole task right now.

please consider installing Skrill first, since it supports almost all countries & it offers both prepaid cards(only to certain countries) and bank transfers(to all supported countries).
