I just went on the app a few min ago & it was throwing me 2 coins per ad. I'm not worried; it might replenish itself later.

Is this a regional thing? Like, do I see different ads than you because of the place I live?

eleoza 2017-02-03 02:01:06 UTC #287

yes, I'm from the netherlands and I get lots of dutch ads. I doubt people outside of the netherlands get those

Shanny8 2017-02-03 02:08:07 UTC #288

I also think there may be some other factors- such as the time of the day you are viewing the ads. It's kind of in the "primetime" part of the night here- where internet hours are at their peak(everyone is on the net or their phones), so a lot of people might be watching lots of ads right now.

Usually we get 14, but right now we're getting 2. It's probably because of the huge community effort to hit 1M coins tipped in 24 hours that is going on right now. With a huge demand for ads, the ad network feels that they can get away with lowering what they pay out because the demand is so intense right now.

HI, TIPPING IS HERE!! TIPPING EPISODE

isaacfriedman 2017-02-04 19:39:05 UTC #291

I emailed Michael twice and got no response. Am I missing something?

Shanny8 2017-02-04 19:43:31 UTC #292

@isaacfriedman be patient. He has a LOT of requests, and is trying to get through them as fast as he can.

Ill wait until its officially available. I guess its a whole bunch of work for just one person. Also I can't wait for the tipping option. I calculated that for me it would require 35 years to get a payout from ads. um. I wish I could disable it. Well. I also would like to know WHEN its available for everyone.

PotooGryphon 2017-02-05 16:10:21 UTC #294

It is officially available. It's currently necessary for Michael Son to verify each person requesting in inorder to prevent potential misuses and attacks to the feature. It's a safeguard.

Also tipping seems to be at least 2x's more than ad rev. Every little bit helps.

isaacfriedman 2017-02-06 01:24:11 UTC #295

Thanks, I was worried I was doing something wrong.

michaelson 2017-02-06 20:03:12 UTC #296

I usually respond to them in order they appear in my inbox (starting with the oldest emails first), so re-pinging me in the same e-mail thread might actually bump you further down the list. Just a heads up.

I'm currently 5 days behind on responses so if you sent an e-mail more than 5 days ago and haven't re-pinged that email chain, please let me know.

fighterxaos 2017-02-06 20:35:34 UTC #297

Oh! I just tried sending a reply in the same email thread a couple days ago for my situation. I'll try sending a new email instead.

igneriss 2017-02-06 20:56:05 UTC #298

I sent my email a month ago, and haven't re-pinged that email chain- in this case, shall I resend my email?

michaelson 2017-02-07 22:29:29 UTC #299

Sorry about that! I have no idea how I missed that e-mail. I've activated it.

igneriss 2017-02-08 15:28:00 UTC #300

Thank you very much! C:

michaelson 2017-02-08 23:20:44 UTC #301

I'm pretty much all caught up with tipping emails now. We have 850 active tipping creators currently (whoaaaa).

If you sent me an e-mail and didn't get a response, please do send me another e-mail.

GoldenPlume 2017-02-09 01:05:28 UTC #302

5 days of tipping activation done in 2? Geeze Michael, how many Red Bulls did you drink?

LordVincent 2017-02-10 09:40:23 UTC #303

I don't know if I already said this, but it would be awesome if creators and tippers could see how much they tipped in just the current month, meaning not the tipping done across all time! A lot of us do something to show appreciation for the tips, and I think that being able to see monthly score would make that whole part easier. I, for example, hand out rewards to people based upon the amount they tipped that specific month, and it would be easier for them and me if they could see how much they tipped this month rather than having to keep count themselves.
I mean the individual tipping amounts here, btw, as in each person. The tippers list. I don't mean a big score of how much everyone tipped together, that I can pretty much already get on the tips/revenue page

michaelson 2017-02-10 18:26:22 UTC #304

Hey there, thanks for the feedback. We'll try to figure out a better way to organize and display information so you and other creators can do some form of appreciation for your fans. We originally designed the first iteration of tipping to be as open as possible so creators like yourself could figure out how they'd want to use it. Now we have a better idea of what creators want to do with tipping, we can start on developing those tools out.
