Whoever bought the ad for syscoin.org didn't use an absolute URL and the link goes to https://thousandetherhomepage.com/syscoin.org.



A follow-up question: can you insert javascript:{stuff} as the URL your ad links to?

I'm actually curious if you could make "dangerous ads" where a stray click from a logged in account would trigger a transaction.


Good point, I added a check specifically for this.


Also, what if somebody links to an enormous, hundred-megabyte sized image?


In the publish interface, we warn that huge images will be marked as NSFS. We also render a static version that we can serve as a backup or when we pass some number of ads.


Alternatively, can you send image compression bombs? (I don't know if image loads can be sent in a compressed format.)


Great question, I too would like to know this


Do this mean that typo is not editable as it's in the blockchain?


If you own an ad, you can "publish" to change the link or image url any time you want. All it costs is the transaction fees.
