No. As it says in the announcement, rule of thumb is that positions on the team are not paid. But we will post an extensive bounty list as soon as we are done with the positions.

Getting a lot of promising candidates for the team
Also making progress with our first community project, and started a second one. Will reveal them when they are close to launch

Thank you 

You will have to contact Bter. There is nothing the BitBay team can do to get your funds back from someone you have entrusted them to.

In a staking context, a considerable amount of Bays is millions. Is that what you have?  If so, you should join slack. It will be easier to trouble shoot in there.

@Graham have you published your work somewhere? If so, can you post a link?
Thx

Open positions in the BitBay team

The BitBay team had a meeting May 7th, and decided it is time to reorganize the team.
Uptil now the team has had a very flat structure, and we will keep it that way as much as possible. However the team is now 15 people and growing, and that calls for a little more structure. The decision was to announce all positions except community manager (shared by Craig and Munti/sirlosealot) as vacant, and let the old and potential new team members apply for those.
Rule of thumb is that no one is paid to be part of the team. We will however be willing to hire needed skill sets short term as needed. We will also announce an extensive bounty list once the process of filling team positions is done.
Applications to join the team are sent to Craig or Munti/sirlosealot. In addition to stating what position you apply for, please describe your skill set as accurately as possible. Also give us an estimate of how much time you are able/willing to spend. We would also like you to tell us what you lack in an ideal skill set for the position you are applying for.
The following list of positions is our starting point. It may be altered based on the applications, and some positions may also be split between several people. Especially head of marketing and web dev are positions we might need to split in order to get all the skill sets required.

Head of marketing
 - We are looking for someone that is able to take us through a branding process and make a marketing plan. This would include being able to identify where we are in the development cycle, identifying target groups for different stages of development, knowledge of what channels to use to reach target group, etc. Experience with low budget marketing is required.

Marketing assistant (s)
 - We are looking for someone who has in depth knowledge for one or more of the areas that is relevant for head of marketing, or alternatively someone with good all-around knowledge in most of them, but not enough time or experience to fill Head of marketing.

Web dev(s)
 - We need web dev with good all-around knowledge. We use wordpress (and are likely to continue doing so), so in depth knowledge of wordpress is important. Security and SEO are also key areas.

Event manager
 - we are looking for someone to plan and execute events like treasure hunts, pay2email campaigns, etc. Creativity and accuracy are important skills beside knowing the client extremely well.

Community managers for specific languages
 - We are looking for someone to build, maintain, and expand BitBay communities in other languages than english. Chinese, spanish, and russian are top of our priority list, but we are of course open to other suggestions as well.

Support Manager
 - We are looking for someone that already has good all-around knowledge about crypto, and also has (or will acquire) in depth knowledge of our software. Support manager will build our entire support system together with community managers.

Marketplace salesman
 - we are looking for someone that can see to it that our marketplace is populated with contracts. This can either be done by filling it yourself, or by actively getting others to fill it. Maybe a combination. Minimum goals will be set for this.

Social media manager(s)
 - We are looking for someone to manage all or part of our social media, and also bring us to new arenas. Decent writing skills are a must.

Writers
 - We are looking for several writers.

Graphic designer(s)
 - We need graphic designer to produce both for marketing and tutoring.

Video producer(s)
 - We need video producer to produce both for marketing and tutoring.
ur marketplace gets filled with contracts, either by filling it himself, or by getting others to fill it. The ambition should be that we always have a minimum of 100 contracts in the market to begin with, and increase it from there.

Dev(s)
 - We are always interested in dev help here. For now it’s probably most efficient that David keeps coding the new features, but there are other things to be done too. We could use someone that is good with UI and UX. Skill with Qt designer is needed for this.
We are also interested in any dev help that starts the process of developing mobile and web interface.

Team assistants
 - We are looking for people that don’t necessarily fit in one of the above descriptions, but who think they can make a contribution anyway -either because of skills not mentioned here, or because they are quick on their feet and can get things done when they are handed a task.


Did we forget any positions? Feel free to bring it up

Nice 
BitBay market is clearly the best alternative for many use cases like that. Once crypto community in general catches on to the fact that BitBay market is a much better and safer alternative than local bitcoins, we should see a decent increase in awarness about Bay.

You are absolutely right. Thank you for being so percistent in getting us out here to answer questions that help people see the potential in BitBay. At the moment we have a lot on our plate, and sadly that easily results in us not using this channel as much as we should. So thank you for what you are doing, and keep up the good work 

There are different levels of work involved depending on what you want to do/offer. Many potential services only need a multisig wallet. Others need contracts. Many will need a mobile wallet. Building a mobile wallet is a big project. API is also some work, although not as bad as mobile wallet.
Altough many features are fully functional now, they are still evolving. David makes small improvements all the time. This could cause him to have to rewrite API's if he makes them to early. Better to let him proceed with his plan instead of pushing him in a direction that might increase his workload.

That's the wonderful thing with BitBay. As soon as we have all the pieces in place, anyone can offer those services p2p by providing an interface that utilizes the parts of Bay tech that is needed for it. So by providing an appealing UI in form of a web page or app, you can focus on marketing, maintainance and support and have a good income from small fees.
 

I think it's a good thing that they don't issue their own tokens. When API's are awailable it's time to build ordinary companies that bridge the gap between crypto and the old economy. I firmly believe you can use the BitBay technology to build the billion Dollar companies of the future. Our tech is already there, so it's possible to start now, giving whoever uses this opportunity a head start in what's to come.

Yes, sportsbetting etc is possible. Prediction markets too. And you'r right, we can do that now, but it's a little clunky. API (on roadmap) will make it relatively easy to build web versions of much that Bay offers (still a lot of work). Mobile too, but there are a few more loops to go through for that.

The easy solution is to install the client on the external HDD
This can be done with the Qt wallet as well, but is far more complicated. Besides you want the client. That's where the good stuff is 

That would basically be just another speculation layer, that doesn't really move this out to real life use. It is much more interresting to build bussinesses that use Bay tech to offer new or improved services to real users.

Edit: Rereading your question. Maybe what I'm talking about was part of your question. If so, yes, We will get APi's that make it possible to build your own apps and scripts that run services on top of Bay.

I believe someone tried it, and found that the rasberry doesn't have enough memory to be efficient for staking.

I don't think anyone can give you a reason, but it is a fact that Bay often goes up on a btc bull run

Bter may have (had) some small wallets that I don't know about. But if your Bay where in one of their main wallets, they are gone. All moved to Bittrex and sold. So I'd say chances are small you will ever get them back. 
As to why anyone uses Bter, I'd like to know that too

Maybe you should do a little research? All Halo development is now done in BitBay. And for the time being Blackcoin only gets bugfixes. All the new features are only in BitBay, and it's gonna stay like that for a while.
