RE: Bitstamp.net
-
Bitstamp.net
This is the site I've selected to buy bitcoins after Bitcoin-Central.net stopped temporarily it's service.
Why did I select this site?
-
Accepts SEPA ( Single Euro Payments Area ) Euro wire transfers, for which my bank takes no fees
-
No need to leave my bank details, so they can withdraw money, instead I send what is needed
-
Low fees: Euro to USD no fee. Buy bitcoins 0.5% fee, bitcoin sending no fee.
-
Simple functional site (English and a few other languages)
My experience:
-
Easy inscription on the site, just like on any forum with just the e-mail to confirm. No need to verify identity if low exchange volume.
-
Getting the Euro funds sent being credited as USD there took took only 2 days (despite public holidays where I life)
-
USD/Euro exchange rate was the one Google showed when I've looked
-
Fast exchange USD to BTC using the simple exchange option
-
Fast transfer of BTC to my wallet address
-
I made a mistake with the reference of the wire transfer. Their help answered very fast on the support ticket and resolved the issue.
Remark: If you are not in the SEPA, forget this site. The fees to send or withdraw funds become prohibitive with 10.00 USD.

RE: Torrents not seeding once downloaded
Without donation and new downloads, you should try to seed what you've got. When I've made my previous answer, I had promoted some torrents you were the only seed, that should saturate your internet connection for some time. BTW, two of them got now many leecher but are not seed …
Other options are:
- Vote categories, you have downloaded many torrents and that should bring you quite a number of SBP. It takes some time though.
- Upload pictures to descriptions with less than 10 pictures, yet.
- Upload an own torrent for something still missing here

RE: Что значит The last 50 banned Duplicate Accounts
Возможно, что вы изменили ваши «хозяева» записи из раза были у нас были DNS вопросы, и было быстро исправить. Это был случай на одном из моих компьютеров.
Чтобы исправить ситуацию с Windows Vista и 7:
1 / В меню Пуск выберите пункт аксессуары> правой кнопкой мыши на блокноте и выберите опцию запуска от имени администратора
2 / В Блокноте выберите Файл> Открыть> перейдите к C :/> Windows> System32> drivers> etc
3 / Выберите в блокноте, чтобы показать все файлы, а нижний правый. TXT файлы только, откройте файл хостов вы увидитеЕсли вы видите Записи в gaytorrent.ru и gtru.net, просто поставить знак # перед ними или удалить эти строки.
Сохраните файл, который будет возможно только, если вы открыли блокнот с правой кнопкой мыши от имени администратора, как сказал наверх.
Внимание: Не дотрагивайтесь до каких-либо других записей, неправильная манипуляция может привести к потере навигации в Интернете.
Обратная связь, если это помогло или не приветствуется.
(Перевод Google)
possibility is that you've modified your "hosts" entries from times were we had DNS issues and it was a quick fix. It was the case on one of my PCs.
To correct that with Windows Vista and 7:
1/ In the Start menu select Accessories > right click on Notepad and select to start as administrator
2/ In the Notepad select File > Open > navigate to C:/ > Windows > System32 > drivers > etc
3/ Select in Notepad to show all files bottom right instead .txt files only, open the hosts file you'll seeIf you see entries for gaytorrent.ru and gtru.net, just put an # sign in front of them or delete those line.
Save the file, which will only possible if you opened notepad with right mouse click as administrator as said upstairs.
ATTENTION: Do NOT touch any other entries, wrong manipulation may result in loosing internet navigation.
Feedback if it helped or not is appreciated.

RE: Torrents not seeding once downloaded
I am not sure to which top list you refer, but if it was the "Most wanted" list on the home page, those torrents are usually not helpful to improve share ratio. This is because the moment the torrents appear there, they are already the most leeched and will become the most seed soon. Then they stay for longer than average torrents being well seed. That list should be rather labelled "Most popular".
The list of your sharing torrents shows largely zero leecher and that explains why there is no upload …
If you don't get a e-mail from the bitcoin exchanges, you should check your spam. In gmail it can be hidden under "More ..." or "Others ...".
Coinbase got clearly an as being working feedback on the Gay-Torrents.net donations run topic (though the process start to end takes a week for the first exchange with account creation, confirmation and funding). Mt.Gox e-mail was received nearly instantly by me …
I wouldn't qualify bitcoins a "Fiasco". It is something new, needing efforts to lean about it and therefore taking up slowly, but steadily. It is important not to rely on Paypal ...

RE: Löschung & Werbung
Welche Torrents wir löschen müssen ist nicht in unser Hand, wir folgen nur den Meldungen von den Rechteinhabern, so z.B. Older4me und den anderen Webseiten des gleichen Eigners. Daher können wir keine Vorwarnung geben. Ausserdem macht es keinen Sinn so etwas an die große Glocke zuhängen.
MaleJunction sagt mir jetzt allerdings nichts ???
Was die Werbung angeht: Lange Jahre war die Seite ganz frei von Werbung. Allerdings sind wir durch die Sperre unseres Paypal Kontos gezwungen nach anderen Einnahmequellen auszuschauen.
Daher wird auch mit Werbung an verschiedenen Plätzen experimentiert und es nicht entschieden ob und wo sie bleibt. Falls die Spenden über Bitcoin zunehmen, wird sie vielleicht ja nicht mehr gebraucht …
Spender können zur Zeit alle Werbung außer der horizontalen über der Beschreibungsseite ausblenden, also insbesondere die rechteckige bei den Bildern. Dazu reicht es eine einmalige kleine Spende gemacht zu haben, z.B. 0.05 bitcoins ( ~5 Euro).

RE: Help us finding duplicate torrents and get seedbonus points as reward
Please use the duplicate report link on the torrent description page and paste in there the link to the original.
Attention, different format and significant different file size make a torrent for an allowed another version of the same movie / clip.
Sean Cody clips are usually uploaded in 6 versions:
540p, mov
540p, wmv
720p, mov
720p, wmv
1080p, mov
1080p, wmvSo every member can choose the one he feels best for him, high definition and bigger size, or standard definition and smaller size, and all that in the mov (Apple devices) or wmv (Windows) formats …

RE: Can't donate
Yes, it is the only donation method at the moment. We lost Paypal, so did Gay-Torrent.net's GT Guard …
As it was said there:
… Think of it like an amusement park where you buy tokens and can use the tokens to get on rides. Here you buy bitcoins which you can then use to buy products or services. ...
Actually what will take you some time, is to find an exchange which accepts a payment method convenient for you.

RE: Not Receiving Credit for Seeding
If you run the "Network" test, you enable automatic port mapping (by default) and your µTorrent not being connectible upon may as a result become connectible.
-
RE: Not Receiving Credit for Seeding
Can you test if your µTorrent is connectible:
µTorrent > Options > Setup Guide > select the "Network" test and run the test.
Does it return a green check sign or an orange?
-
RE: Internet stops working
You need to limit the upload rate and download rate of µTorrent according to your internet access' capabilities, so that there is a reserve left for other internet activity (browsing, chat, etc…) , if you want to watch a video stream, you might need to pause torrenting.
µTorrent got a built-in help fpr that:
µTorrent > Options > Setup Guide > select the "Bandwidth" test and run it > select the proposed setting.
That should do the trick.

RE: Bitcoin donation goes live
Everybody is free to look elsewhere and I am as well member on a number of other gay torrent sites. Depending of what you find there and your expectations, you might well get back to GayTorrent.ru … or rather use multiple.
Bitcoins require some effort, because they are the new thing. However compared to uploading an own torrent on a private tracker, it isn't difficult.
What I hope is that members give it a trial.

RE: Bitcoin donation goes live
You don't need to "invest" in a currency. Just to buy as much as you need, then immediately transfer to GayTorrent.ru and donate. that is done in about an hour, there are very unlikely huge changes in that short time.
Remember as well, that as an incentive to use bitcoins, you'll get their US dollar value credited as Euros and that doubled as donation. It is really profitable for members compared to the previous Paypal donations.
An example:
1/ You bought 89 minutes ago at market price of 127 USD (a temporary peak) 0.1 bitcoins = 12.7 USD or 9.64 EUR
2/ You transferred them immediately, the transfer was confirmed 51 minutes ago and you donated them immediately. The market price at the donation moment was 117 USD (a temporary low peak)
3/ You get 11.7 USD taken for a 11.7 Euro donation, times two = 23.4 Euro donation for having spend 9.64 EURIn that example I've taken quite worst case peaks in exchange rates over the last two hours, high for buying, low for donating and you see that it is largely positive.

RE: Other user uploaded pictures of scenes not in my torrent
I'll need to test that with a test account …

RE: Multiple Torrent Clients at Once
That really goes to far off topic. Therefore I've split it into an own topic.
1/ There is no known issue about such for the tracker. He gets reports from over 300 thousands of torrents each 30 minutes, all sorts of torrent clients and user
2/ I've used up to 3 different clients on my computer at the same time (µTorrent, Vuze, qBittorrent), no problem as long as they don't download or seed the same data files. Making them access the same files caused errors.

RE: Other user uploaded pictures of scenes not in my torrent
The first 7 days it is possible that you delete yourself the wrong pictures via the editing function. If you add 10 pictures in total, no other member can upload additional pictures.
The added 5 pictures seem to origin from the studio, so I guess they are showing the brightness, contrast, hue and colour saturation as it is meant to be (a little pop colour, I agree).
It is very difficult for staff checking uploaded added pictures to know which are for deleted scenes, we don't got the movies and in addition don't have the time to watch them … if wrong pictures are found, anybody, please don't hesitate to report the torrent with that reason.

RE: Question Regarding Giving Seed Bonus.
Actually it should better read:
" … all uploaders are mentioned as Anonymous for privacy reasons. …"
-
RE: Help us finding duplicate torrents and get seedbonus points as reward
It is 6 times there, all different versions by format (wmv, mov) and definition (540p, 720p, 1080p). Therefore it are torrents fore the same movie, but not duplicate, because not for the same or similar file.
