Hi again,

The acquisition process didn't finished as expected, and already 4 months has passed by.

So, for real, this project is now closed.

Wishing the competitors a lot of success, since some new projects like this started after the launch of TON Ads. No more offers will be accepted at this point.

For the users: you should receive a notification in the bot, explaining everything. If no, your funds are inside https://telepay.cash. Just login with the same Telegram account.

Fare well guys, see you. 👋
Carlos Lugones, Maker of TON Ads.

@TONxAdsBot

TON Ads is going through an acquisition process right now.

We should be back online, soon.

Keep updated. Merry Christmas! 🎉

Hi again 👋

November went by, and I received some offers to buy TON Ads, but when the potential buyers saw the price, they ran away, saying it was too high. Honestly, it was not that much.

The bot has 3.5K users and moved some Toncoins within the first months of operation, so I think it truly has potential. It only needs someone with more free time to manage it.

But, as I won't keep working on this, and because I'm focused on other projects, I'd like to announce that TON Ads is immediately terminated, and won't be operating anymore.

Important:・ If you have any funds in your internal TON Ads wallet, you need to know that your funds are now transferred to your account at TelePay.
・ To get access to your funds, go ahead and login into telepay.cash with the same Telegram account on which you are receiving this message.
・ The bot will not be responding to commands or any other input from your side.

This is a goodbye, thank you for participating. ❤️

Best regards,
Carlos Lugones, Maker of TON Ads.

Hi 👋

It has been 3 months since our latest update, and I'd like to let you know some ideas for the future of this product.

My name is Carlos Lugones, I'm the founder of @TelePayCash and co-founder of @Connecton_vpn. Operating those two companies is taking me a lot of time and my focus is on those platforms.

I consider this ads project to have a lot of potential, by helping people earn Toncoins while advertisers can send ads. But as my time is constrained, I'd like to give this project to someone who would like to take active development on it.

My plan is selling it, or integrating it into another service that I'll launch and has been archived during the latest year: teleadm.in.

If you are an entrepreneur or developer and would like to partner/acquire Ton Ads, drop me a message to [email protected]. I'm open to proposals.

I'll let you know if there are updates.

Thanks!

Hello, dear community 👋

The TelePay withdrawals issue has been fixed.

You can now withdraw your funds back to TelePay, by signing up into that platform, getting an username and assigning it to your wallet in the bot. Then, by using the TelePay web dashboard, you can perform transfers to your on-chain wallet.

We will be activating on-chain withdrawals in @TONxAdsBot as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The platform is online again, but with withdrawals temporarily restricted due to maintenance purposes. It's important to notice that no withdrawals will be allowed via the web dashboard, nor the API, until further notice and to protect funds. Internal transfers and deposits are allowed.

We've deposited back to the TON liquidity wallet the total amount previously stolen by the attacker during the security incident. Here's the on-chain transaction:
