Title: Bitcoin Weekly Update Thread. Post by: kiba on June 21, 2011, 11:53:54 PM Since the last Bitcoin Weekly (http://bitcoinweekly.com) thread is getting a bit stale, I decided to start a new update thread.
Current Ransom Thread: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=23934.0 If you visit the comics link, it will direct you to the latest comics in the Bitcoin Weekly's comic archive. For a full list of comics to read, you can click on the comics archive at the bottom of each comic page. Also, if you have any comment about the magazine, don't hesitate to give us a shoutout. Title: Re: Bitcoin Weekly Update Thread. Post by: kiba on June 22, 2011, 10:14:31 PM It seems that bitcoinweekly is down. However, I only have one hour to investigate. Expect Bitcoin Weekly to be back up tommorrow at the latest.
Title: Re: Bitcoin Weekly Update Thread. Post by: kiba on June 23, 2011, 12:37:41 PM Bitcoin Weekly is up after an unknown outrage. I need somebody to man the server....

It's just that we don't update frequently in the first place. At best, we updated 3 times a week. Title: Re: Bitcoin Weekly Update Thread. Post by: kiba on June 23, 2011, 05:38:35 PM The Bitcoin Security Challenge Part 1 (http://bitcoinweekly.com/articles/the-bitcoin-security-challenge-part-i) is posted.

New article, successfully ransomed. (http://blockexplorer.com/address/<a href='bitcoin:?addr=1JYXS3dpHjk9MT7U6oXNKwfVeubW41iWkf' id='lnk01JYXS3dpHjk9MT7U6oXNKwfVeubW41iWkf'>1JYXS3dpHjk9MT7U6oXNKwfVeubW41iWkf</a>) In the future, we will release all articles by ransom. Also, there will be more incentives as sponsors may give you discounts and deals. Title: Re: Bitcoin Weekly Update Thread.

New article about the security challenge. Title: Re: Bitcoin Weekly Update Thread. Post by: kiba on June 29, 2011, 01:28:43 AM We are now ransoming our next article: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=23934.0
Title: Re: Bitcoin Weekly Update Thread. Post by: BitcoinPorn on June 29, 2011, 01:32:03 PM I really don't agree with this ransom system and I think it will effect the writers words knowing a system like this is in place. I'm trying to find the start of how this system came into place or why, I swear I seen a thread about this not long ago, but I guess I'll ask here, why ransom an article?
Also, I am only against the ransom of an article in theory, it may in the end be something that pays off for the reader, writer, and publisher. But right now I do not only see how the reader can have a price put on information that they could possibly already know. Will this not hinder new readership? I'm kind of put off and I'm already a viewer (but I am open minded, curious if this is how a payment for journalists doing freelance it Bitcoin could be worked out). Is there any other sites that offer a ransom type system for articles? Title: Re: Bitcoin Weekly Update Thread.

Ransom is the least worst way of hindering readership. IF it was possible to keep the magazine free, I would...however, my writers and cartoonists gottach eat, and my magazine does too, to keep itself afloat. Title: Re: Bitcoin Weekly Update Thread. Post by: kiba on July 04, 2011, 12:12:13 PM Added an article and a comic to the ransom lineup:
Comic: The Gavinator by Joey Dangerous. Article: Calm After the Storm by Vitalik Buterin. Visit http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=23934.0 for more details on the ransom. |
