Bitcoin Forum

I am willing to pay 5 2.5 1 BTC for anybody who would write an article and authorized me to publish it under the public domain. Pitch an idea to me and I will think about it. If I like your idea, you will get a 4 days deadline to write your article and 3 days deadline to finish your final draft.

I am one of the most reliable employer on the market. As of May 24th, 2011,  22 articles out of 29 articles on BitcoinWeekly were somebody's writing or drawings that I paid for. The rest were written by me.

See http://bitcoinweekly.com for all the articles that been published on the site.

At the moment, I am looking for articles dealing with:

1. Cryptography
2. Bitcoin economics
3. Stories. Especially business stories detailing your exploit and your failure in the bitcoin economy.
4. Technologies.
5. History.

So, as you can see, I like all things to be related to bitcoin. It's not a full fledge magazine in technology or whatever.

If you like the magazine, don't forget to donate bitcoin to me at the address I listed on Bitcoin Weekly website. Those donations help pay for the magazine's very existence.

On the subject of economics, I could write about the concept like the social taboos around money and the practical inconvenience of paying anything less than about $5 with conventional tools like credit cards or PayPal which make it difficult to have a microtransaction-based economy (ie. people pirate songs to avoid the pain of paying in itself, not because they are that stingy about losing 99 cents), and how Bitcoin offers a way to fix this.

Sounds good. Gimme a draft at hackerkiba___at___gmail.com by March 29. The earlier you finish it, the earlier I can review your article and see if I like it.

5 BTC per article?
I'm going to start a bitcoin union and demand you pay a livable wage to these poor hapless sods  ;D

j/k, seems too much like work to me plus i'm no good with "the words"
I will bookmark your site however. Keep up the good work.

I don't make any money(right now).

I will implement operation fabulous ads to keep the site going but the revenues will be very small.

I'll send you something. I am certain you'll like it.

I don't know your idea. To prevent wasting your time, please send me a pitch.

Copyright and Bitcoin - The Final Nail in the Coffin

I like the idea! I hope your rough draft will be something to like too.

Atlas, you will have the same deadline as deadlizard to submit your project.

If it's weekly and they don't make the deadline wouldn't that just push it back a week?

Don't get me wrong, deadlines get things done.

I decided they don't make sense anymore. However, I would like one article per week.

Instead of using the Unlicense, you should use CC0 (http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/). CC0 is much more legally strong for non-software works.

All of this is formalized in the submission page on the site!

Cryptography is the study of compiling the password and crack password technology science. Study the objective laws of password change, applied to prepare password to keep secret, called encoding communication study; Applied to decipher the password for communication intelligence, called deciphering learn, floorboard cryptography. And Bitcoin is peer-to-peer (peer to peer) - based on network - anonymous digital currency. Peer-to-peer (peer to peer) - - mean that no central authority control money remittance channels. Instead, these money transfers task is conducted by the network nodes collective management. Anonymous means trading parties can hide your true identity. His advantage: no trust middlemen, can easily for Internet remittance. Third party can't control or stop your trading. Bitcoin transactions, and credit card almost free online payment system usually charge 1-5% of transaction costs, plus other various cost up to hundreds of dollars. Avoid the central reserve bank of bad policy and instability caused by safety hazard.

Ying, this is not how The Bitcoin Weekly works. I am not looking for generic article on cryptography or how bitcoin works.

Everyone, I am still looking for writers!

If you're interested in history, cryptography, or economics...visit the Bitcoin Weekly's submission page for more information.

It's still 5 BTC per article.

this is a really good idea!

I can't write myself, but keep up with it!

I need writers. I want writers. For 5 BTC per article!

It's not much but it's better than nothing.

Hell it's way more than nothing: it's BitCoins!  :)  I'll consider this.  If I can think of any interesting topics I'll post back here.

I could write an article explaining public/private keys in layman's terms without getting technical and how they are used within the Bitcoin network when sending/receiving.

This is what I want to see. Next time, please contact me by email...

Adjusting price to 2.5 BTC.

Still looking for writers.

You were getting too many applicants at 5  ???

The price of a BTC has more than doubled since the first post ;)

Here is my pitch for an article. In a hypothetical post-singularity world, where the most people live as software entities on a computer in a truly post scarcity society, what do people spend money on?

Hosting/Electricity?

trick question.
in a truly post scarcity society there is no need for money  :P

It is true that I think that a post scarcity society would not need good for most goods or services. I do, however, still think that there would be money, or at least some sort of currency. What would it be used for? In short, getting people to do what you want. There might not be any scarcity for commodities, but there would still be scarcity for creativity. So, if you are making a video game (or a virtual reality sim) and you want x famous composer to do the score then you would use currency. Also, I think in this hypothetical future, a higher percentage of people would donate to projects and artists that they like than currently do so. Right now when you donate to an artist or project, you are using the same thing that you use to buy food, shelter, medical care, and the other things necessary for a comfortable continued existence. In this thought experiment, your continued existence would be guaranteed, thus eliminating most of the mandatory cost that people have today.

Also, let me make it clear, this article would only be a thought experiment. I am not predicting that we will someday reach a truly post scarcity point in our civilization's development. I have as little idea of what the future holds as anybody else. But it is true that currently our global civilization is trending towards post scarcity. This article would then be a thought experiment to see what interesting things happen when that trend is taken to an extreme.

You should send these to my email, ya?

Anyway, I like the idea. Send a draft to my email address.

Due to the extreme price deflation, I am dropping the price to 1 BTC.

Desperately looking for reliable writers!

If you write enough articles in a frequent time frame, I might even make you...staff writers for 2 BTC!

Do you hope this to eventually pay for itself? When do you think thats possible?

For now, I get paid 1 BTC from advertising. So, assuming current revenues, yes it will pay for itself.

And the price of my space dropped to 51 bitcents a day.  :-\

Gottach keep hustling to get traffic in.

I'm interested. Let me see if I can whip up something worth publishing.

Looking for freelancers..looking for reliable freelancers...

It's so damn hard to find reliable writers.

Some suggestions I'd offer:

• Ask business owners (bitmunchies, Nefario, one of the shirt sellers, etc) if they want to write about their experiences joining the Bitcoin economy - I'm sure they'll be happy to oblige with the free advertising and all.
• Make a list of more specific topics or ideas for people to write about - it can be hard to think of something by yourself
• Advertise yourself as an employer more - you're by far the easiest way for people to get a significant amount of coin so they can start participating in the economy without going through all the hoops with Liberty Reserve and MtGox.

Implemented your suggestion in my initial post.

Greetings,

I'd be interested in writing about bitcoin products and services related to the economy as well as gambling, sweepstakes, and lottery type apps.

Below are links to several articles I have written:

I am not interested in reviews at the moment.

Are these stuff you written? How can I verify them?

I'm not interested in writing reviews. I don't believe I mentioned reviews specifically. However, developing news articles on products and services that tend to be relevant to the Bitcoin community and sector does peak my interest.

Regarding verification: I can send you photocopy of my id or you can probably write the editor of The Vail Daily. I believe it's still Don Rogers. I used to play basketball with him quite often a couple years back.  PM me if you need more info.

Best,

Steven

I am not interested in news at this moment. I have a taste for timeless articles. We can talk about this by emailing me ideas you have, and we'll work out which topics is good to write about.

I don't need verification of your work as much I am interested in somebody doesn't bail out before I even get to pay him for his work. I especially value writers who can output works regularly.

OK, well, I'd be happy to do an article on the social and economic aspect of a digital currency on emerging college/uni students, but I work at a rate of 1BTC/100 words, standard.

The problem with finding reliable writers is you don't really have a set of content for them to write about; a lot of writers have problems free-writing.

(watching thread)

I cannot afford such expensive rate. Bitcoin Weekly is capital poor.

I apologize. Based on the correspondence on the thread to date, I'm not longer interested as I don't think we'd be a good fit for each other.

Why? I am one of the most reliable employer in the bitcoin economy. I paid for 22 out of 29 articles/comic.

Still looking for writers.

How many words are you looking for?

OK here's the pitch: My article idea would be about the way our modern technology is bringing us into the science fiction of yesterday. Specifically cyberpunk. I would focus on Bitcoin and the various savory and less than savory aspects of using it, as well as the black market that has sprung up thanks in no small part to the increase in publicity for Bitcoin.
