history

The private website created by Lukas Klamm in 1996 developed into a web portal when Klamm decided at the end of 1999 to pass on its advertising income to users. The first “paid homepage” in Europe was opened and acted as a pioneer of the Paid4 scene . The remuneration at that time was 0.5 pfennigs (in 2017, this corresponded to the purchasing power of around 0.33 euro cents) per start page view.

Today (as of 2020) you get 0.2 cents per page view . 60 minutes must elapse between two paid page views, premium users can receive payment every 15 minutes. As soon as an amount of at least 5 euros is reached, users can request a withdrawal. In 2008 klamm.de paid around 15,000 euros a month.

In 2002 klamm.de created the “internet currency ” of the klamm-Lose (also simply called Lose ), which users received as a bonus for promotions on the website.

The web forum set up in 2004 has ~ 250,000 page views daily (as of 2013). There will be discussions about klamm.de and the klamm-Lose as well as general topics.

In 2006 klamm.de won Germany's Website of the Year award in the Best News Website category .

In 2007, klamm.de stated that it had around 250,000 members. In 2015 there were almost 375,000 members.

Lots

The klamm lots introduced in 2002 , which users received as a bonus for campaigns on the website, could initially only be used in the weekly raffle on klamm.de. In the meantime, advertising contingents can again be booked for the tickets on klamm.de and ticket contingents and weekly cash prizes (25 × 1 euro) are raffled off. In addition, lots can also Coins are exchanged, which enables users to further monthly sweepstakes with a prize money of currently: can participate 100 euros and prizes (as of 2018).

After setting up a transfer system, it became possible to expand the lottery credit on over 3000 other Lose- and klamm.de fansites or to exchange it for goods or services. This is facilitated by klamm.de's own programming interface ExportForce and the development of several standard scripts . This gave klamm lots a market value after initially having no real value for Lukas Klamm.

klamm-Lose are traded in the klamm forum as well as on external websites. The market value of the lots was initially between 150 and 200 euros per million lots ( bid / ask price ). Since the users are constantly creating new lots through their actions and other circumstances that are not covered, inflation or a continuous decline in the value of the lots occurs. The value fell to around € 1.50 per billion tickets by 2015. On November 1, 2015, klamm.de initiated a "currency reform". System-wide, 6 digits (zeros) have been deleted on klamm.de. 1 million tickets became 1 ticket. The market value in February 2016 was around 300 euros per million tickets. By April 2019, the market value had dropped to 11 cents per billion.
