Bitcoin Forum

We believe that we have a great publication, however not that many people know about us yet...  That is why we are doing this promotion:

Put (and keep for at least a month) a link to: http://thebitcoinsun.com/  or some other related link in your forum signature and we will give you 0.1 BTC (thankful to Garret for donating 5BTC)...  Be creative and reference something that you like about The Bitcoin Sun

There are some basic rules so it doesn't get abused:

1.  Only forum members who have register before this post.
2.  Only forum members who have 50 posts or more.
3.  Limited to the first 100 applicants.
4.  To claim your payment, place post in this thread with your bitcoin address (and a sig that references The Bitcoin Sun).

Overall have fun!


The Bitcoin Sun is a online publication that covers the bitcoin community; for more info checkout: http://thebitcoinsun.com/

I'll throw 5 BTC of my pay from this upcoming week into the pot as well, making it .1 BTC total :)

I write for the development section of The Bitcoin Sun, it's quite fun, I'm learning a lot as I go. So far I've put out some pretty good articles, I think. Read up on them in the PDFs of past editions on the site!

For anyone who wants to make a bit more, check out my thread, offering some work for cold, hard BTC :)

I don't qualify, but I'll help you out with a sig mention anyway. 

Does this work?   ;)

To begin with, why not have a twitter feed and rss feed of all articles like a conventional blog?

Can I write it on my arm every day for a certain period of time? (A month might be unhealthy, but it's better publicity because people see it and think "... wtf is that written big and black with a sharpie on his arm?".  I'll provide pictures. Haha.

lol... Sure... Post pictures :)  Of-course you don't need to do that for a full month.  :D

=P And you're in luck, Tomorrow is Graduation for MIT students, and so it's going to be the busiest day of the year at my work.

Well they have a twitter:  @TheBitcoinSun (https://twitter.com/#!/TheBitcoinSun)
a RSS: http://thebitcoinsun.com/feed/atom (http://thebitcoinsun.com/feed/atom)

I really like The Sun'. Quality bitcoin news is hard to come-by and is going to in importance as the bitcoin community grows.

Edit: added the website to my sig.  But seriously, your website is like... really bad:  my favourite news website is: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/

Is this a forum or a brothel??  :D    (inventive strategy!)

I got the 0.10 BTC. Thanks!

For some reason, it feels kinda weird to just link to the main site. If there was a way to link to individual articles, I'd rather put a link to my favorite one in my signature. It just seems more personal.

+1 there are some really good ones hidden in those PDF's...

@TheBitcoinSun... why so slow?? Get your editors to upload their articles to the site already!  And get a new CSS theme while you are at it!

I think the PDF and the huge overhead editorship hierarchy is a repeat of Bitcoin Weekly's mistakes.

Problem with editors is that they're only one person, with only a limited viewpoint. They're also a bottleneck in the production of content.

My operation is a 3 tiered hierarchy. Freelancers, staff writers, and the editor-in-chief. My role is more of a combat support role. I administer payment, hire people, advertise, and write code. I plan to either eliminate these roles or delegate them.

I want the good people of Bitcoin Weekly to be fighter pilots, not drones who are completely incapable of functioning without getting approval for anything.

Problem with PDF is that they're not as linkable and you can't comment on them.

Hmm, I read both... The Bitcoin sun is nice as I can just get all the news round-up in one hit... except it really should be on paper, something that you read when having your morning coffee.  I that an iPad app would be great... (for those who have one of those stupid apple-jail products).

The Bitcoin Weekly, is cool as it is very minimalist and 'just works'...  I that there is much that The Bitcoin Sun could learn from such a site.

Thanks!

Done.

Please send my payout to devux and bencoder.

Donee :)

Please consider not dealing with just a man, or split the 0.1btc amongst those he owes.

Thanks

Done. Does this make me a sellout?

If so, that is awesome. I always wanted to be a sellout.

I've read all the comments here and it's very interesting. Do you think that articles should all be published on the website? Should it be done before or after the PDF release?

I hardly ever get approval for anything, I just kind of... go. We'll see how it goes ;)


I still say they should be posted a day or two after the pdf, but you already know my opinion ;)

The Bitcoin Sun is shinning, thank you:

Thank you very much for this opportunity. (See my sig! :D)

The sun is shining, both outside my window, and on my monitor! (Great news stories btw, will be a future reader too!)

I just finish submitting my articles and I see this. Bravo sir :)

P.S. It's a shame you don't have a donation address in your sig, I'd like to tip you extra!

Done. (Glad I had enough room left in my signature.)

I do not have 100 posts yet and I'm not tooo active in this forum.

But I could throw a link on my website as the only other link on it or put a link into my status on facebook and update it with the same link every 3 days for a month. I have 300 friends and many of them attend or has attended Computer Science with me.

Tell me if this has any interested.

Regards

Hmm, have you guys recieved your payment yet?

I haven't, and I've sent a PM to TheBitCoinSun, but no reply...

Nope…

me neither but I was thinking that it might be necessary to keep the bitcoin sun link in your sig for 1 month, otherwise we could just remove the link once we get the payment.

from the op:

sorry!  Have been super IRL busy... payments will be sent soon!

received mine. thank you very much.

Me2, thank you!

Well, I guess I don't have a chance. :(

done

I am a newbie and didn't join in time.  Are there any exceptions?  Or am I SOL?

What about paying at least those that comply with the offer?   ???

OP is right.

I didn't know about the Bitcoin Sun at first, and when I did, I didn't pay much attention to it.

But after checking it out, I was impressed! Quality stuff!! Definitely worth checking out on a regular basis.

Keep up the great work.  :)

OK ;)
I have 50+ posts
