TLDR Server upgrades, expected downtime, donation status and new contest

[ixlone]

The requirements need to be that high since you are serving entire chapters at once, not a page from a chapter like h@h.

We just haven't bothered to reset the stats since not all sources were reporting until recently. Like 60% of traffic is from various apps that don't report until people update to the new versions of Tachi or Neko.

MD@H is putting out between 35-40TB per day currently (that is reported, still a lot not reporting), between 220~ clients.

Maybe it’s just my opinion then.

I thought it’d be better to have multiple slower “servers” than to have very few fast ones.

I regret I didn't donate when Paypal worked back then. I don't know sh*t about crypto and detest it. Would love to have any other optional for donation.

Anyway, thank you for your hardwork and keeping MDex running. Keep it up!

I'm still getting a lot of "502" and "chapter has no pages" errors, especially between 12:00 and 15:00 GMT. South Europe.

 

[Nyalnara]

Same there, I'm getting a buttload of 502s, database errors on the forum, [edit]and "666 No Reason Phrase" on ajax calls[/edit]. It is not constant, but mostly by waves.

Not sure what happened, but since a few days i cannot Bookmark/Favorite manga anymore.

 

[Godspeedzilla]

Can yall accept donations from anything other than cyprto? Like I'd def cash app yall

 

[Mokai]

Cannot mangadex turn into a brave browser verified publisher? So you can get some BAT donation?

 

[AnacondaHL]

Hey, I know the servers have been up and down a bunch these past few days, but I just wanted to say some words of gratitude for continuing this work and getting things improved.

Thank you.

Give an ad after every part of manga like a small video like YouTube or like a ad on top and bottom of page

this is unlikely as adserver that usually serve this kind of websites ( manga aggregator sites ) are likely something like NSFW games or similar triggering popup which is very annoying. i prefer using donation but, as i can't use paypal as a form of donation. i am confuse how to donate.

bit coin is a no for me. i don't think i would ever buy it. serving as @home is also a no. as my connection is not fast. i'm from south east asian.

This was mentioned, but a store would be something that I can buy into, I really wanted a cat mousepad, but my order didn't get to my email in time. I still want one. Hell, I'd buy a shirt or something if it was up for offer and could support the site.

I won't do crypto at this time, but am up for supporting in other ways. Regarding MD@Home, can't do anything about my DL/UL cuz it's paid for by the reality company as part of my lease. Edit: DL Passes, but UL is terrible, only like 6Mbps

 

[Rescal]

I wish i could support this site but i dont have the money >~< im on it like 4h a day and that says alot

 

[magistermind]

thanks for the updates, have been a staple with you guys since batoto was gone and hope to be with you longer.

 

[FireWyvern98]

Man, I would love to donate, but setting up crypto is a pain in the ass

 

[AspergerKing420]

So when will the new chapters be up?

 

[gxn945]

Yo!

Recently (1-2 days ago) I donated a significant amount BTC. Should be enough to keep you going for at least a month or so. Go get it while the exchange rate is high ^^ .

I agree with some of the others, obtaining BTC is a royal pain in the ass. I used coinbase . com this time, and the amount of security, authentication and confirmation procedures is ridiculous. I can't imagine that any sane person would use this service at a regular basis. I will probably try to get away from these suckers.

Please consider supporting Monero/XMR as well! As a cryptocurrency that has been specifically designed around the goals of privacy, security and un-traceability I think it's the way to go.

Please keep up the good work
Peace

@gxn945 thanksthanksthanksthanks
and yeah, coinbase is a bit of a pain in the ass.

Ethereum
Bitcoin Cash
Litecoin
