Last day interruptions due to security upgrades

Dear Customer,

As part of the Dubli Global launch, the Dubli development team has been in the process of upgrading a number of our security protocols on Dubli.com and Dubli Network.  Unfortunately, we were required to perform a number of upgrades on the live platforms.  As a result, some of these upgrades have caused some down time and interruptions in some of the auctions.  We apologize for any inconvenience that these upgrades may have caused our users.  Any unique bid auctions that were to end during our maintenance upgrade have been extended through July 10th/11th to accommodate our users.

Transfers to new portals.  Existing AU, New Zealand and Global users currently on the US and EU portal will be instructed on the process for transferring their accounts to their new respective platforms on July 20th.  At this time, you will be given detailed directions on the proper transfer protocols.

Thank you

Your DubLi Team

Going for Gold?

We’ve given you cars for €51 , but now we want to go one further – gold! As the song goes, always believe in gold! Specifically, DubLi is auctioning two 24 carat bullion weighing in at 10.0 ounces (283.5g), with a purity rating of .955. The market value of this is a stunning $22,500 at the time of writing by the time the auction ends, on May 3rd, 2010, it may be worth even more, thanks to market fluctuations.

Gold has always been the most prized of the metals, in some cultures revered for its mystique, others for the power and wealth it conferred on its owners. Gold is also used to signal success: when an athlete wins a gold medal at the Olympic Games, the world recognises their amazing achievement.

Fun facts about Gold

  • Just one ounce of gold can be stretched out into a thin wire over 50 miles long; DubLi’s 10.0 ounces would stretch out to an amazing 200 miles!
  • More than 90% of gold used throughout human history has been mined since 1848, the year the great gold rush started
  • Most of the world’s gold supply lies in the oceans. However, the cost of extracting the precious metal currently outweighs the price of gold
  • 78% of a year’s gold supply is made into jewelry. 12% goes to industry. The remaining 10%, including this auction’s gold, is used in financial transactions!
  • King Croesus of Lydia – the man we refer to when we say someone is ‘rich as Croesus’ – created the first coins made purely of gold, in 540BC
  • The word gold comes from the old English ‘Gelo’, which meant yellow

There can be no doubt that this is going to be one of the most explosive and exciting auctions in the next month. Will you be the lucky winner? Check out the auction and get going for gold…

The office will employ approximately 25 people, 10 of whom are from the BSP Rewards division, whose offices are currently based in Margate, Florida. Both DubLi and MediaNet Group Technologies hope to bring new jobs into the area, giving the local economy a boost.

The new HQ will also be home to DubLi’s Worldwide Training and Development Center, a place which has already been compared to the world-famous Hamburger University of McDonalds. The center will provide expert training and advice to DubLi’s global network of Business Associates, ensuring that they can make the most of their business with DubLi.

Speaking from his office, Michael Hansen, founder, President and CEO of MediaNet Group Technologies said “After an analysis of several potential locations throughout the world, we have decided that the U.S. makes the most strategic sense for building and developing our worldwide global operations. Specifically, the east coast of the US provides easy access for our Business Associates throughout the U.S. as well as for those in Europe. We are excited about growing our operations in the United States as inroads into the market have proven very successful.”

The relocation of the global HQ from the European capital of Berlin in Germany marks an exciting new development in DubLi’s history, with two of DubLi’s most senior management, Michael Hansen and DubLi chairman Kent Lee Holmstoel relocating to Florida.

DubLi’s European Headquarters will remain open with a core staff of 30 employees to facilitate a smooth-running operation across Europe.
