Title: Bitcoin Bounty Ladder
Post by: GoWest on December 27, 2011, 02:49:58 AM
http://www.thebitcointrader.com/2011/12/bitcoin-bounty-ladder.html

Introducing the Bitcoin Bounty Ladder (see link, above).

If you can find a higher ranking site than any of the ones on the ladder, you will win the bounty associated with the new site's position on the ladder.

I encourage members of the community to donate to each of the bounties to make this interesting.  I've already seeded the rungs with 12 BTC of my own money.

Your donations will be held in a secure wallet until awarded.

Dunno if this counts, but Max Keiser has a ~18K rank on alexa...

I don't think Max Keiser counts, because he doesn't accept Bitcoin anywhere on his site.

Occupy Wall St on the other hand... well, you win!  That's the new No.2.  Gimmee a Bitcoin address.

OKpay.com accepts bitcoins (https://www.okpay.com/en/company/news/okpay-bitcoin.html) and are ranked around 12K on Alexa (http://www.alexa.com/search?q=okpay.com).

Uploaded.to does as well (http://uploaded.to/news/96/), ranking 747 on Alexa (http://www.alexa.com/search?q=uploaded.to).

Okpay was already on the ladder.  Uploaded.to is definitely valid, and is the new No.2!  The bounty was already taken, but I'll be nice and replenish it, myself. =P

What's your Bitcoin address?

Don't even try. The proper site is http://www.alexa.com/search?q=wuala.com.

Also, uploaded.to still doesn't accept bitcoins, they've merely made an announcement stating they will in the future. I think they should be removed from the list for now.

Try what? I'm not after Bitcoins. Seen me posting any address or asking for it?

And about uploaded.to, yes they do accept bitcoins, just go to their page and try to buy a premium account if you doubt about it.

You posted the Alexa ranking of Wuala's parent company because you knew it wouldn't make it on the list otherwise. I would call that a try for the bounty.
"Seen me posting any address or asking for it?" holds no water, you could've claimed the bounty later, just like "ineededausername" above.

Why are you so defensive and infuriated? Did I hit a nerve?

And about uploaded.to, yes they do accept bitcoins, just go to their page and try to buy a premium account if you doubt about it.
I see. My apologies.

Neither wuala.com nor lacie.com have sufficient Alexa ranking to make the list anymore.  

As for uploaded.to, I'm satisfied that they accept Bitcoin.

indiegogo.com has a global rank of 8,157 (http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/indiegogo.com (http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/indiegogo.com)) and accepts donations at indiegogo.com/commonsense.

I assume only domains owned by whoever accepts donations or sells items count.
If not, then I have two who use twitter/reddit. And those two rank really high (9/114).

That appears to be merely one specific campaign on the indiegogo.com site - not IndieGoGo itself.

I am not convinced that Indie Gogo qualifies  The link you provided is for a particular campaign that included a Bitcoin address in their personal campaign page.  When you try to make a contribution through Indie Gogo, they only accept PayPal or credit cards.  This is akin to someone on eBay accepting Bitcoin in their ad.

As for Reddit and Twitter, your assumption is correct.

Now that Wikimedia's New York City chapter is accepting bitcoins (https://nyc.wikimedia.org/wiki/Donate) can I claim the top rung of the ladder?
And: No. You can't.

Here's what it says on their main page (it's a shame you were too eager to claim the bounty): "The Chapter is a separate organization from the Wikimedia Foundation."

Right.  Right.  Makes sense.

The one thing I don't get is why is it a shame that I was too eager in your estimation?  It wouldn't change the fact that this is still the nyc chapter.  So where is the shame in that?

It's a shame because had you been more patient, you would've hopefully dug around a little and hopefully found that before you posted.
I'm not sure where you found out about it, but it's mentioned several times in the Wikipedia Donations thread over here that the NYC chapter is a separate entity, and it also says so on their website.
