You can also check the balance at http://blockexplorer.com/address/1EywCiz76EeF28qBWYcHKwquG7MGpoHY7M

Here is the list of content we are planning to release soon:

1. Bitcoin for Merchants Part 1 by Vitalik Buterin in which he analyze the state of payment processing.
2. Bitcoin for Merchants Part 2 by Vitalik Buterin. This time he examines the future of payment processing.
3. Taxes and Bitcoin by Joey Dangerous. New comic.

How it works
Bitcoin Weekly requires a certain amount of money to be raised via donations. Everyone can donate as much or as little as they like. Eventually, the donation balance will reach our fundraising target. At that point, we will release all ransomed contents

If Bitcoin Weekly created new content during the period between the start of this ransom and the end of the fundraising, we will add them to the list of ransomed materials. We will also increase the ransom balance by .10 BTC.

In addition, we also have sponsorship by advertisers. They provide an incentives for users to donate by giving users discounts and deals.

Sponsorships

If you wishes to take advantages of deals offered in this thread, you will need to email me for the discount and a unquie donation address. This is crucially important because a donation to the unique address will prove that you have indeed donate to Bitcoin Weekly. Otherwise, donating to the address listed in this forum will not net you anything. For discounts and deals, email me at hackerkiba    at    gmail.com

As of right now, squarewear.biz (http://squarewear.biz) offer 10% off any total order for your donation. Do not also forget that buying any Bitcoin Weekly t-shirt at the store also means additional revenue for our magazine.


BitBrew (http://Bhttp://bitbrew.net) is also offering 10% discounts for people who donated .05 BTC. Good for one time only.

Term of Condition:
It will be checked via http://blockexplorer.com/address/1EywCiz76EeF28qBWYcHKwquG7MGpoHY7M


For me, if it is found to exceed or meet .70 BTC in the time period of 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM CST(time before I go to my day job), I will publish all material as soon as possible.

It will continues to be check until .70 BTC are donated.

"something must attract users to provide the high volume, and that can only be a strong payment system, which we are well on the way to realizing"

Well done two piece by Vitalik.
