Title: Bitcoin Informant - Keep your friends informed.
Post by: Tuxavant on June 05, 2012, 03:53:20 PM
Due to a domain collision with BitcoinWeekly.com, I've officially rebranded the BitcoinWeekly.info website to "Bitcoin Informant".

The weekly newsletter will now be published under this new domain BitcoinInformant.com

Below is a sample of the newsletter in the new format. Current translations: Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, English with Vietnamese, Russian, Ukrainian coming soon. If you would like to help out with a translation in your language, I am offering to place your tipping address on the newsletter so you can receive some incentive to help out.

Also, we just got our 20th subscriber. A raffle was drawn and Miguel Pacheco of Texas won the first free tshirt giveaway. I'd do another raffle when we get 40 subscribers.

Issue #25 "Rising Sun" is now available for download (http://bitcoininformant.com/download/)!

We are currently releasing translations in Brazil, Czech, English, and Vietnamese. Russian, Ukrainian, Dutch, and Germain may be published a little later this week.

We screwed up on our weekly giveaway last week, so we've added a little extra to the daily amount this week.

Please like us on FB (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bitcoin-Informant/233055913473228) so we can have access to niftier features on our page. We just need 15 more friends liking us!

Previous issues are available for download at CoinDL.com (https://www.coindl.com/page/author/104).

Issue #2012-26 is now available for download (http://bitcoininformant.com/download/).

Post a copy near your workspace or favorite watering hole: breakroom, local cafe, community board, etc. Also, please post these PDFs to any language specific forums you are aware of that may find this information useful. The English version is already being plastered everywhere but the alternate language versions could use some promotion in those countries. Last week, Vietnam rocked the Google Analytic stats by posting the issue to their mining forum.

Also, I dunno if I narrowed down the free bitcent windows to tight, but only one giveaway was taken last week. I've opened it up a little bit this week, so be sure to get your friends to give it a shot for some free bitcents.

Please support/like us on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bitcoin-Informant/233055913473228). I still need ~15 more likes before I can get a custom URL for the page.

"PosADoll.com is a new way to fashion models to business on the net"

"to conduct business", "to find business", or maybe "to do business"

We just signed on a French and Chinese translator. Looking forward to these additions!

We missed publishing last week's issue due to some commitments at Defcon, but all 10 languages will be available in the next issue being published next Monday.

Hi, great idea, although there should be .png or .jpg version as well to display better on fb.

In .pdf I'd love if links were clickable.

And if you need Polish Translator, give me a shout ;)

Unfortunately, the libraries used in Inkscape do not yet allow for links. I've seen some requests and confirmations it will be added in the future. I hope this will be soon because it's requested a lot.

I will send you a PM regarding polish translation.
