Bitcoin Forum

I am going to a conference next week and have compiled a list of people I'd like to meet with. Unfortunately it's taking me longer to find email addresses than to send to them. Note, this is NOT for spam. I am personally writing custom emails to each of these people I would like to meet with.

I would like to pay you 1 BTC per address to find them and enter them in a spreadsheet along with a few other bits of info. I estimate it should take 5 min or less per address, so that's up to 12 BTC/hour!

It will work like this:

I give you access to two google docs - a spreadsheet with info for each person, and a PDF of my conference agenda.

You go through the agenda and for each person for whom I don't yet have an address:

1. Search for them with a plain google search. Try to find their page at their institution (listed in the agenda)
2. If that doesn't work, look in Google Scholar for papers on which they are corresponding author, and see if you can find their address there.
3. If you still can't find their address, try to find their phone number. I'll pay 0.5 BTC/phone number.
4. If you can't find any of that after 5 minutes, mark NOT FOUND and move on to the next one.

You will be paid for addresses found between now and Tuesday evening at 23:59Z.

Please email me at brock@brocktice.com or call me at 651-967-7961 to discuss details. If I'm not available please leave a message and I'll get back to you. Bitcoins will be paid daily. I have a good reputation on #bitcoin-otc, check my rating or ask around if you are concerned.

Message sent.

I’m up for it. You can PM me the docs.

Aw, guess I’m too late.

I have a lot to find, I can have more than one person. Both of you please email me your gmail addresses that you use to sign into google docs and I'll add you. Thanks!

Ok sent.

Done, that's enough people for now. I'll repost later if I need more. Thanks!

Did you want the phone number as well if I have already found an email?

No, phone numbers are a last resort.

Well I'll enter them anyway just don't pay me for them it makes the spreadsheet look neater lol

I think I'm done was hard because 2 were doing at once I sometimes found it but too late.

I had done it with multiple people, I suggest writing the name first then searching for the email.

Ok will do that if there are more pages to find pretty much all are found on that one though.

I need all of the pages, but I already had done through 6.

Oh so should we add that to the excel spreadsheet or something?

Yes please! Sorry if that wasn't clear. From the agenda.

No problem how do we make it alphabetical order sorry am not advanced with spreadsheets or will you do so later?

Don't worry about order I'll sort our later. Takes 2 sec.

There's a site for that:

This is different, most of these people are academics and doctors. Or am I likely to find them there as well?

Also please only search for the first person on each talk/poster.

I think we're done brock.

Wow nice work!

Ok, family time at the moment, will count and pay in a few hours after kids are in bed.

Mine would be 1PRWy2c9HRSA9sW7YbT4tEjucPWuz6FNJu not sure how blitz did it but he sorted it by name for you.

Ok have fun I'm starving need to pee and am starting to smell of funk so I'll take care of those real quick lol

I counted 55 email, 3 phone for Blitzboom, 62 email, 10 phone for Demonofelru.

I am impressed, you guys even found some that I tried hard to find and could not.

Sending now -

55*1 + 3*0.5 = 56.5 to Blitzboom
62*1 + 10*0.5 = 67 to Demonofelru

BTW there were 2 or 3 duplicates of people I already had, those weren't paid out.

Just showed up in pending thanks a lot that was amazing pay for what was only 2 or so hours.

Yeah, well, it was important and valuable to me. And I wasn't paying as much when I posted it as when you were done. :) But they could be worthless tomorrow, who knows?

Thanks again!

Oh also not sure if you guys are on bitcoin-otc, I'll have a look. Please rate me if you are and I'll do the same.

Thanks, pleasure doing business with you. :D

I wonder what future Crowdsourcing has with Bitcoin … You could theoretically outsource lots of internet services to people in third world countries who will very easily undercut westerners in price. The key is that anyone with internet access can accept Bitcoins.

I already posted in the chinese student forum. No luck yet.

I've have a 0 rating on OTC I just figured out how to create a GPG key is your username brocktice on OTC?  I don't think I could rate you until you do me because I did one other transaction but he was 0 too so we couldn't rate eachother.  Mine is Demonofelru.
