For Nifty stats do you have to give your login and password when you ask for a new program like you had to do with stats remote?
Thanks for the system time trick to get back into stats remote by the way, really didn't fancy going through every program and changing the password!
Thanks! This appears to work. Statsremote finally opened when I changed the date to Jan 5 as recommended.
Very strange situation here indeed. Have been using SR for ages now and it really has been very valuable for every Euro i have paid before.
Now when i switched cpu date back to 5th of Jan, i am able to start my SR, but it won't update anything nor it is after switching back to current time software still running.
Software keeps popping this error window regularly now..
"Error. java.security.cert.CertificateException: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Path does not chain with any of the trust anchors"
Don't know about the Java message, but i have the latest version of Java installed for sure.
Cheers guys and lets hope the best that he/they will bounce back on the track asap..
To get the stats updated do:Quote:

5. Go to another tab such as "Last Month" or "Yesterday" or whatever you want. Stay there for a bit, till a new popup warns you that the date on your device is wrong. Don't click "ok"!
6. Set your correct date, now click "ok"
7. SR will start to count the new stats
It's weird, I know.
Alternatively, you can proxy the SSL certificate through your site if you have it as "https" or with another service like CherlesProxy or similar. But this is a big pain in the ass...
NiftyStats: doesn't work with Parallels too on Mac(s). Stats never download.
this worked for me ... would be nice if there were an update so the netrefer stats would show up. but at least it opens up. thanks for letting us know how to do this.
This is a damn shame. I'm hoping Stats Remote is resurrected but with their secure subdomain certificate expired and their primary domain about to expire on Jan 27 it looks abandoned to me. I looked through the jar file with a hex editor and it looks like development was outsourced to a company called EBS Romania which is now part of another company called NTT Data. Maybe that is a clue for those of you trying to follow up on this.
I just tried Nifty Stats using Windows 10 via VMware on a Mac and so far it is hit and miss.
- First program I added (Affiliate Edge) reports stats in 3 separate currency line items, and it reports signups in its "Sales" column rather than new depositors which is obviously wrong for a casino affiliate. Our account is in USD but it reports the same numbers in GBP as well (but zero in EUR) then adds them all together to more than double all the numbers. Update: I later worked out that you can right click on the GBP and EUR rows, then reset them and tell the program not to check them in future.
- It looks like you have to manually manage exchange rate values to convert from USD to EUR and GBP and vice versa. By default they were set to $1 = €1.4 and $1 = Ģ1.60 which is months out of date.
- Reporting period resets to "Today" every time you restart the program, so if you want to view monthly for example you have to manually change it every time.
- Maybe I just can't find it but it doesn't look like there's a "difference" mode where it shows only the change in numbers since the last time you checked. You can set it to display change since -1 day or other periods in the past but since I don't have these numbers, it seems to extrapolate and invent something to display rather than report a change from 0, which is odd. Also it displays both current and previous numbers vertically within the same row instead of just the difference which makes quickly scanning for changes difficult.
- I can't see a away to export the stats to CSV or XLS or anything else. You can copy and paste the data which I think may give you a tab delimited chunk of text but will have to investigate further.
- The UI is a mess, even by windows standards. Columns are all minimum width to fit the numbers in them but not the headings so you have to drag and resize them all manually to understand what you are reading. Double clicking a column header or border doesn't auto-size them. The groups tab bar below the list of programs is so small that I can only see less than half of each tab in height. Text using the default font looks inappropriately sized for the rows in the tables, with low case letters like g, p, y cut off at the bottom. It looks like rows don't scale properly with font size but you can change it to Arial or something else to fix. I suspect that some of this may be due to running it on a hi dpi monitor and the program scaling badly but I can only really compare it to the only other windows program I use (Excel) which looks and works fine.
- Which brings me to no Mac version which isn't ideal but it definitely works using VMware.
I get the impression that this is another generalist affiliate program stats reporter (like SR was) that doesn't really understand the gambling affiliate market. This niche is crying out for a gambling focused stats program that accurately reports important stuff like deposits, withdrawals, chargebacks, fees, first depositors, number of deposits etc.
yeah thats why i made an easy to do open source one.... as soon as I am caught up ill get back on it, got it working for most programs
Thanks. I downloaded and looked at your code for a bit but its not really what I am after. I don't want to risk leaving affiliate program passwords and statistics on a server in the cloud. Likewise requiring php + web server to run it locally might be ok on my dev machine but its not great for portability.
Wow I always thought the best thing about stats remote is because all passwords and usernames were ONLY stored locally.
I would never even consider a system that stored usernames and passwords in a single placed that YOU don't control.
Hopefully something can be done.

You could run allfreechips' code on your own machine at home but you're going to have to set up a web server, php and a database to do it. SR was never great but it did the job well enough to not bother making my own. Now I'm sort of half considering it because after playing with Nifty a bit more it leaves a lot to be desired.
An update on Nifty - I've tried to add 10 programs starting alphabetically from the top of our list just to test it out (we have over 200 in all):
- I couldn't find 7 in their database.
- 3 of 10 fail to fetch stats, the other 7 do get something.
- 2 report sign ups as sales (instead of FTDs)
- 1 reports gross revenue as income (instead of actual commission)
- 1 reports a negative balance and subtracts it from your total income instead of counting it as zero (SR handled this scenario)
- So essentially 3 out of 10 report accurate stats.
Another thing I noticed is that all program passwords are viewable in plain text in the UI via the program properties dialog box. Hopefully they are encrypted when stored to disk, but even so, someone shoulder surfing or getting access to your machine while you are away from your desk or by malware/RAT has full view of all your logins and passwords.
It may not be perfect at the moment, but I've been trialing Nifty Stats since last week. I've requested programs and have asked them to fix ones that have been broken and they have responded quickly to my requests. (even working over this last weekend).
I now have a Beta version to test which will add a field for signups vs new depositors. I suspect that if it works all of the programs will need to be changed to have the new field mapped correctly.
It's going to take a bit of time but I think they will get there. I think their major issue at the moment will be the deluge of changes they are being asked to make by gambling affiliates.
I'm going to persevere during the free month period and see how it goes and how they perform before i signup up, but as things look now I'll be doing that.
Going to give Nifty a go. Are usernamers/pws stored locally?
Has anyone used Adage? Aside from the cost, they seem to be missing quite a few affiliate programs that I use, I guess they have a more powerful system for gambling programs but not too keen with sharing my data with Kax.
This may not be a problem in Nifty Stats, but in the gambling program. our users use with Nifty Stats with Parralers platform and everything is OK, please write to us what program you can not, fix it as soon as possible. http://niftystats.com/contact-us.phpQuote:

OK great, thks for the update
Yep, there is something wrong. And this is real pity
No email, no telephone, no skype answer.
I just tried Adge and they don't support Deckmedia, Slots Vendor...Real Vegas Cash...not terribly useful...c'mon Neil, I hope he's okay. Always real responsive when you needed something. This is really strange.
Adge is completely out of the question for us for reasons including the cloud storage of usernames/passwords, the ability for the operators to data mine their competitors, and the cost is outrageous. I can't understand why anyone would use it but of course YMMV.
I share your view partially! I have no problem to know my login in a safety cloud. What should they do? Changing the Skrill account to get a payment? Unlikely!Quote:

And thats for 100% the reason to launch adge.com. Not the "few" bucks BUT the data!
From the practical view, adge.com is much more sophisticated if it comes to the stats but unfortunately they miss to many brands. And thats tip the scale to me.
If like me you pay a recurring annual fee via Debit Card, or indeed if you're monthly recurring by credit card, you can cancel the 2CO subscription here: https://2co.com/ - you need your email details and the order number. Bummed, paid for a year back in September, but has been such a good programme over the years.
