Tagvillage update - tag trading starts, gets disabled again

So as promised, tag trading was re-launched on Sunday. However, it didn't last very long. About 40 minutes into the relaunch, tagvillage had to disable tag trading again because of a new bug. While tag buying transactions seemed to work just fine this time, many users' credit balance was not represented properly in their Back Office. This is the issue that needed to be fixed and so far, it's been 3 days and counting since tag trading was paused. There has been no word yet on when they will enable it again, so for now we can only wait for updates.

Another day, another tagvillage delay

I woke up today all excited, because this morning was supposed to be the re-launch of tag trading on tagvillage. The time for the restart was officially set for 10:00 AM US Central time. Well, the hour struck, I was sitting on my couch with my mouth open in anticipation and... nothing. Tag trading did not begin. Credit to tagvillage admins, they let us know right away that they were still waiting on some 3rd party guys to catch up, so we the users had to be a bit patient.

Well, it is now 6:36 PM in Florida and the latest update from tagvillage brought us news of another delay. This time, the problem seems to be with one of the servers that keeps sending faulty information to the users, displaying incorrect amount of credits and not listing any referrals.

Long story short, tagvillage restart has been rescheduled to tomorrow, Sunday January 23rd, at 12:00 PM US Central time.

Let's hope that this time things go smoother.

In other tagvillage news, we now have new referral links. These are more 'pretty' and much simpler. Here is mine:

Tagvillage update - another delay

Well, here we go again. The re-soft launch did not happen between '8 AM and 12 PM' as was initially suggested. We were then told to wait until 6 PM central time. Well, it's 15 minutes past 6 and the restart is now delayed 'indefinitely'. The reason for it is not exactly clear, but it seems that some members have more than one account registered with the same e-mail address and that is causing a problem, therefore delaying the re-launch for everyone else. Until that is cleared up, tagvillage cannot do the soft launch. Other than that, all the bugs have been fixed and the the tag trading platform is ready to go. Seems like it won't happen just yet. More updates to follow.

Tagvillage soft-launch problems *UPDATE*

As promised, tagvillage gave us an update on today's problems. As I suspected, the problems arose mostly because people were trading the same 'big' tags at the very same time, only miliseconds apart. The software could not exactly handle this properly, so what happened happened. Luckily, the tagvillage team says that it is an easy fix, but it's going to take them until Monday to complete it. And here is the most important paragraph in the update:

We apologize for the inconvenience. Please bear with us. This is not a fatal error. It is simply a bug in the communication between systems and can be repaired. However, we do want to make a few announcements. In the spirit of being fair to all our members, we feel it is necessary to flush the system and start Tag Trading over again from scratch. Because hundreds of people were not getting Credits for their sales, they could not participate fully in the trades of Tags that were important to them. Many people profited greatly, but others were unfairly excluded. THIS is not OK with our CEO. He feels aweful about that. While tagvillage is a place to make money, it is NOT a place for profiteering and unfairly excluding people with disadvantages.

So there you have it. On Monday, tagvillage is going to re-do the soft-launch from scratch. That is very good news for members like me, who lost most of their credits today.

Tagvillage only accepts new members through invitations right now, so if you want to join, here is my invitation link. New members will not be able to participate in soft-launch tag trading, however. They will have to wait a week until soft-launch is over and then they can start buying tags as well.

Another Kooday payment received in AlertPay

Lets take a break from tagvillage for a bit.

Here is my second Kooday payout proof.

You might remember my post from 2 weeks ago about the first ever AlertPay payment that I received from Kooday. Well, a couple of days ago I got another e-mail from AlertPay informing me that another $5.00 payment that I requested has made it into my account:

 

There it is, my second Kooday payment. I have 2 more pending. I currently make about $5 a week, allowing me to cash out every week. Not too bad.
