Title: Need a bitcointalk advertisement created. Paying 0.1-0.2 BTC. 24 hours.
Post by: CryptoMrM on August 04, 2015, 03:02:08 AM
This is a joint thread with CryptoBoard found here (https://cryptoboard.org/showthread.php?tid=1159&pid=2053#pid2053). Entries made on CryptoBoard will receive a 10% bonus on pay.

Hiya,

As the title reads I need a bitcointalk advertisement created within 24 hours.

This advert will feature over the next advertising period.

Brief:

The advert is for the online Cryptocurrency related forum CryptoBoard.org (http://CryptoBoard.org).

It should consist of the colours: Black and Orange.

It should also have the words: The Cryptocurrency Discussion, Discuss, Trade, Earn & Invest.

Basically my signature but into a bigger better version.

You can see the current adverts here: https://bitcointalk.org/adrotate.php?adinfo (https://bitcointalk.org/adrotate.php?adinfo)

Criteria for the advert can be seen highlighted below:

Quote
You can use HTML/CSS styling with some freedom. However:
- I will copy/paste your ad into the ad area of the page's HTML. It then must actually fit in that location of the page and not overflow into other things. Usually you don't have to go to any extra trouble to make this happen if you avoid manual positioning (including negative margins, etc.) and other weird tricks.
- Ads must not contain images (not even data URI images) or JavaScript
- Ads must not contain forms
- Ads must not animate except for subtle hover effects
- Ads must not load things from external sites, including custom fonts, even if they're downloaded from a common trusted location like Google.
- Ads must not be taller than about 42px as I see them on my browser, which is around 900px wide. Keep in mind that people often view the forum on smartphones and other devices with small screens: to ensure that everyone can read your ad, it's a good idea to make it work even at very low screen sizes. This isn't required, though.
- I will reject ads if I find them to be especially annoying

If you have an ad up, I'll keep using that one unless you tell me otherwise. If you've advertised in the last 3 months or so, I probably still have your ad on file. You can just tell me to reuse it.

You can send me valid BBcode (the markup used when making posts), or you can send me HTML with inline CSS (style="..."), or you can send me HTML plus separate CSS that will be put into the <head>. Do not minify anything you send me -- I very often need to modify it slightly. Note that your ad's style may be affected by the board's default CSS, especially if you use inline CSS.

Common mistakes when creating ads:
- It is invalid XHTML to put a <div> inside of an <a>.
- Your ads will be affected by the forum's CSS. Your ads will by default have text-align:center and font-size:90%; your links will have :hover{text-decoration:underline}; etc. Make sure you insert your ad into a downloaded version of https://bitcointalk.org/ad_test.html to see whether it looks OK with the inherited styles. (Read the HTML comments in that page.)
- If your top-level element is a block element (<div>, <span style="display:block">, etc.), it is sometimes surrounded by extra whitespace. It's usually best for your top-level element to be inline or inline-block.
- Special symbols, especially including & symbols in URLs, need to be converted into entities like &amp;.
- Using tables often causes various problems.

To bypass Adblock Plus, you should:
- Use header CSS, not inline.
- Tell me that you want randomized CSS classes. You must use no more than 4 CSS classes per slot.
- Tell me that you want the anti-ABP JavaScript link fix.
- Use only one <a> and no other tags if possible. If your ads get blocked because of matching done on something inside of your ad, you are responsible for noticing this and giving me new ad HTML. (However, note that I do not guarantee that ABP will be bypassed on my end.)

Looking for someone with previous experience for a contract but also open to random entries.

Pay is between 0.1-0.2 depending on quality.

Just to re-iterate I need within 24 hours.

Thanks!

Thank you , do you mean the file itself for editing? yes I do have that

You may've overlooked it, but in the OP it's asked of designers to create the ad with BBCode or HTML and inline CSS.

I can edit it with HTML to do some modifying in terms of aligning it in center , and give it a link if this is what op after but if its regarding CSS and BBCode then kindly disregard my entries :)

Thank you for the entries.

Unfortunately I didn't think any of them were good enough. Michaels BB one was probably the best for me.

I ended up creating my own. I think its pretty good, given my lack of experience :)

I am normally quite good in telling whether someone will be able to achieve the quality I'm looking for from their first entries.

But I understand where you're coming from, perhaps if time had allowed, I would have.

Thank you for your time and effort.

This is not the way how contests work, if you have promised then choose a winner, even if you dont use. Otherwise everyone will create 100's of threads  daily and dont pick a winner unless they get extreme good, I have no entry, but when you open a contest choose a winner, or in your first post mention clearly that u will not choose winner, which u didnt, so choose a winner please :0

You are saying that this is a contest and ending in 24 hours, pay will be 0.1-0.2 depending on quality and when you needed extreme quality then why mentioned a range in price ? plus no where you said that there maybe no winner. No revenge brother but don't waste designer's time.

Just let him do what he want because this is not ethical. He is just hurting his own reputation or cryptoboard reputation, next time if he is going to open a contest like this again then he needs to escrow the amount. If he is not satisfied than he can just ask someone to change to match what he wants

The advertisement is very clear.

Looking for someone with previous experience for a contract but also open to random entries.

Pay is between 0.1-0.2 depending on quality.

Even if I had escrowed the amount, the outcome would have been the same.

I've done nothing wrong and I don't like being criticised as such.

For full disclosure I did eventually contract the work out but the person wasn't able to deliver within the timeframe (he fell asleep).

I dont know why people create contests when they have to choose their own entry, anyways close this thread, so

1) people dont create more designs by just seeing OP.

2) signature posters dont get involved.

It's not a contest. Where does it say it's a contest?

I was looking to HIRE someone to do the work for me. In the mean time I said I would consider random entries.

I'll keep the thread open as tbh it's all good publicity.

when there is a competition to get some prize its called a contest no matter what, and some contest holders sometimes even gave consolation prize to participants to honor their efforts even though they not gonna use no winner design.
now if you saying you want to HIRE someone then you did a mistake from beginning. you should make it clear in your title, and you dont need to describes all those design requirements at the first place. you should only ask people portfolios, once you see someone you think fit with your preference you can tell him the design details, that would make others not wasting their times. a good example of someone looking to HIRE a designer is like this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1142898.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1142898.0)

and if you dont want to close this thread, at least update your OP or title so people know you no longer need other designs

Its not a contest ? wow !

So you mean you had someone working on it but you though okay lets have some fun with people , and just opened this ? You already had someone hired then there was no need to create this thread

and please answer this ? As you said this was not a contest, than what was this thread for ?

and the worst thing I see in your reply is : I'll keep the thread open as tbh it's all good publicity.


You simply shown that this thread was a publicity stunt , I would never join such site, whose promoters open fake threads for fun , just to promote.

This contest a laughable thing. You have made two fake contests in last few days. If you can make the banner yourself, so you should dont wasting our time to make it. All designers here have precious time, and you was wasting it without give any appreciation. Its okay if you choose michael23 be a winner, and the others lost. Thats how contest working. Let me tell you, there is no contest without the winner. And now you said its not a contest, so why you didnt contact one of designers here to make a contract with you? I hope everyone here can look how unprofessional you are. Good luck on your unprofessional website.

PS: I think you should deserve it, michael23. Nice design 8)

Honestly you guys are driving me nuts.

The post was brief and asking to hire someone for a job.

There was an option to submit your work openly but this did not guarantee payment.

There was no “competition to get some prize”. Stop making things up out of thin air.

I didn’t make a mistake. My post CLEARLY says:

Looking for someone with previous experience for a contract

I can describe as much of the design requirements as I want. I wanted the person who took on the task to understand what was being asked.

"And now you said its not a contest, so why you didnt contact one of designers here to make a contract with you?"

They submitted entries and did not request for a contract.

I have also already stated that I was working with a designer who was recommended.

This is laughable.

If you don't like my job offers, don't apply for them in the future. Simple.

EDIT: I'm going offline now. I can't be bothered to carry on this petit argument.
