Sorry for the delay in posting!

We recently rolled out a manual cashout system. If you login to Backslash, you'll be able to submit a Bitcoin address which we'll use to send you your remaining balances.

We're in the process of consolidating and auditing our user's balances, and we'll issue the payouts shortly.

Thanks for being patient.

Hey everyone,

A couple friends and I use Slack at work, so we decided to make a Bitcoin group! Come join us if you want to talk about anything Bitcoin related. It's free.

What is Slack?

• Slack is a really nice communications app for Mac/Web/Mobile that's currently being used by a lot of tech startups. It turns out it's also really good for open communities to chat about what they are interested in.

Haha, glad you are all excited about this. We're making some changes to the site right now, but I'll be scheduling some more tests around Feb 15th.

Great, I look forward to talking to you next month! I'll make sure to update this thread when the time comes so you know when to expect an email from me

Of course


Lol. You're going to have to talk to the other participants on your own to convince them of that.

Update Jan 14th

All of the interview slots for this week's session have been filled up. You can still fill in the form to get on the list, but I won't be selecting any new participants until a few weeks from now. Thanks to everyone that participated so far!

Good call. Just increased it by 50%.

Also, I've given bonuses to users that are easy to work with and that provide great feedback.

We might be able to do it over chat, so let's give it a shot anyway. It would be ideal if you could fix your microphone or find another headset though


Just sent you a PM!


Yes, the offer is still open! I just sent out another round of emails 15 minutes ago.

I want to link my Bitcointalk name with BTCJam's. Verification code: 9eda5eb1-c2ad-41c5-b517-42c1f715e124

Wait for my email. If you're selected for an interview, I'll send you an email with instructions for how to schedule one. 

Just sent out another round of emails. If you've been selected, you should have received an email by now.

It's surprising how many people don't schedule an interview after getting selected. Is anyone having issues scheduling their interview?

Perfect! Google Hangouts also lets you share your screen, and you can even restrict it to a specific window.

Unfortunately I don't have team viewer. Have you ever used Google Hangout before? It's free and works pretty well. It's also very easy to get it set up.

Awesome, thanks! I'll send out another batch of emails in about 6h.

Please do not use this link directly, you need to fill in the google form first. If you sign up on use powwow.com without having been selected, I will not interview you.

Thanks!

Just sent out another round of emails. If you have been selected, you should have gotten and email with a link to schedule an interview.

Thanks again for your help! Talking to you was extremely helpful!

Thanks!


Thanks! I just selected a few more applications and sent all of the emails.  


Scroll down a bit, and you'll be able to book an interview slot. Let me know if you have any more issues!

1. The point of the second part of the test is to see how easy to use our website it. I want to watch people sign up and try using it to make sure that we handle their behavior properly. I want to know if they try to click on something and nothing happens, or if they don't know what the next step is. It might be possible to figure these things out in other ways, but this method is simple and known to be effective.

2. I want to be able to ask the participant questions as he/she is trying out the site, not once they are done. For example, if they try to click on something that isn't a link, I'd like to immediately ask questions such as why did you click here, what did you expect it to do, etc...

3. Not yet, but I have 4 interviews scheduled for tomorrow morning (around 9 am PST). I plan to send each participant the BTC as they are doing the interview.


I won't be using team viewer, I'll be using http://cliqmeet.com/ As far as I know, Cliqmeet does not support FTP, and requires the user's permission to share screens.

Bump! Looking for a couple more

In terms of privacy, it's possible to only share a single window. So if you are worried about me seeing your whole desktop, you could just share an incognito window in Chrome / Firefox.
