That sounds really interesting, I’ll definitely take a look at their site.
In the mean time, I’m using AdSense only, but the plugin is still making requests to the codefund website. Here’s what I see in my console:
Can you please investigate? Thanks!

I’m inputting my property id (168), but it sais:
codefund_property_id: Value doesn’t match the required format.
What am I doing wrong?

We migrated it to use integers. I will submit a PR to this plugin.

@coderberry We’ve been showing CodeFund ads here on meta for a day now, but they always show ads for CodeFund.
Will we start seeing other ads soon?
Also the instructions in the ad plugin README don’t match what I’m seeing in the CodeFund instructions. I don’t have a long hex number like the example. Mine is only 3 digits, so I entered that into the “codefund property id” field.

Hi @neil , I’m excited you added it to meta! I have set the property to active. All traffic should be generating revenue for you.
We will update the bad instructions on the README. You used the correct ID.
Please reach out to me anytime

How do you earn money from CodeFund? Pay per click? Pay per view/1000 views?
Hi @nexo , the money is earned via eCPM. Every impression will earn the publisher some funds.
We are open source . Please feel free to dig into the code. The parts where we determine the % of earnings is handled here .
We pay out monthly with a $20 minimum amount. Each month the funds roll over.

I keep getting this ad over and over again:
If I reload https://meta.discourse.org/t/events-plugin-calendar/69776/500 10 out of 10 times I get this ad.
I am in Australia. Is there anything we can do to get a bit less blockchain and a bit more ad diversity here?
