Hi Ls777, please log into your account enter a valid doge wallet address and cash out. All your coins are waiting for you. We will NOT send you the coins, as we cant be sure that this is your wallet and that you entered the right address here. Please use the edit account feature and enter your adress on the left side by yourself. Mike Heyo, I had just started mining with guys, and such didnt even get to put in address for payout. (and cant now)
Id like to pull out my 30k coins, Username is Ls777 and address is DSAVfb79jEyAjH1m9j4DUkxJfYQUJ8Lnbx
Thanks!
Heyo, does the account lock you out if you try to change details without inputting pin too many times? Im pretty sure I have the correct pin, but it wont let me change account details when I log in. Its my email address tied to this account, i know the password, and this is the same username I use on a number of sites, its certainly my account. |

You didnt answer my question. I asked if you advertised the contest here or your blog.
Well for fuck's sake, I tell you it's not my blog you just repeat it verbatim? Why did your mommy make you so fucking stupid? Take this for instance: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=160858.msg1704190#msg1704190 and you can probably find it on twitter and on reddit and anywhere else retards (like you) gather. What difference does it make anyway? The idea isn't that there's some sort of agglomeration of competence on bitcointalk that's somehow magically insulated from the (much more widely read) rest of the Internet. At least I would hope you grok as much. Ah. Dem insults. your blog, MPs blog, whatever, I got it the first time. Concept is still the same.
You do not seem to understand what is at stake between the two "contests". The first one had a payout of 10 btc. The second one has a payout of 1.3 btc to the winner, and further amounts and work for anybody deemed to have talent.
yea yea i got that btw
You are the most unconventional PR rep I've ever encountered. lol
10/10 pr rep id rather have that then political correctness all day |

Here or on your blog?
It's not my blog, it's MPs blog. I mean okay, I get it, you're new, as far as you're concerned all the names on the screen are equal and the same, names on the screen, composing a really flat reality. This however is not a fact, just an artifact reflecting your candor. ... Sooo I say payout has no relation, and bring as proof an actual instance where less work with generous payout (March BTC ~= 2.5 June BTC) failed to go anywhere. Your answer to this is that...wait. Did you even logically consider what's going on here? Not really, huh. You didnt answer my question. I asked if you advertised the contest here or your blog. My point was that I doubt many artists frequent your blog, because it looks like more of a financial business thing. Obviously where you advertise your contest makes a big difference, and that's probably a factor in why you got barely any entries. Anybody I know would jump at a contest for 10btc for photoshopping someone into a picture. You should have posted it here, you would have had so many entries you wouldn't know what to do with them. Then again, I looked at the 3 small drawings contest and I was surprised at the small amount of entries there too. I would have entered the shit out of it if I had saw it, the same with the rape contest. I guess there's not that many bitcoin artists in general. I wonder why you thought this splash screen contest would get more entries, though, with much less payout and a much more difficult project? That thread is another good reason why spec work is usually bad though... there were a few decent unicorn entries and you didn't like any of them. Whats good is subjective, so its up to your whim. Stop focusing on management details, such as what the payout is and how MP structures things. It's obviously not your strong point. You say you're an artist, do that then, do it well, complain if you're mistreated and after you're mistreated rather than before on the grounds that you might be.
And you don't complain that artists are lazy and entitled if people dont want to enter your contest. I'm done here, I just think we will have to disagree. How long is this contest open for? |

Yes I saw this. My counter point is that this opportunity may not be worth as much as you think it is. You know how many game startups pop up all the time? All asking for spec work, with a promise of additional work? Every single one of these claim that they are an amazing opportunity S.MG is sitting on 8`799.0657479 BTCi after its succesfull IPO last week. For that matter, the "community", such as it is, consists principally of people who would love nothing more and spend their time doing nothing else than upmanshipping MP. If indeed you contribute usable artwork and nothing comes of it because the project goes to shit you'll be the only guy in this position in the history of Bitcoin. This is what Taaki, Maxwell, the entire host of "finance" wanna-bes and literally everyone else has been trying to do, since forever. This is why CoinSetter is currently buying tweets, this is what CoinLab was trying to achieve paying off some of the press, that's what Pietila was trying with his rushed conference, that's what the London folk were trying with their second "First Bitcoin Conference", that's the long and the short of it: everyone hopes, strives and dreams of the situation where they could say "Ha, I'm bigger than MP". That blessed situation where you did your end and MP came short, to go with the billion times the opposite occured. So, your dilemma is this: either you get paid and the game works or else you'd have succeeded at the one thing everyone really seeks, and that'd make you a sort of Satoshi-2. It'd be worth more than your wallet, you can probably support yourself consulting for the rest of your life. Sorry, I don't know much about the bitcoin community or any of those names, including yours (as you can tell by my measly post count). Is your argument that this is an amazing opportunity because you have a history of successful business endeavors and you haven't failed before? I don't think that necessarily guarantees success in the game development business. I'm not seeing much on your site about what concepts or ideas you have with the game you want to make but I hit an apparent "5 article limit" (rofl) and i cant even view the details page anymore. And you arent offering a good possible payout, other projects can offer more than $150. By all means, go do that then. Well, yea. Are you trying to attract talent to your game or not? You can't complain that you don't get any good entries and that its because people are entitled and don't want to work hard ill gladly work hard, but make the payout worthwhile. By this reasoning "no coder worth the money is ever going to make an extremely detailed project on the hopes of winning". Except they do. That's what the better coders do, and whenever some coder wants to be hired on a salary the first point in anyone's mind is "so he doesn't think he's good enough to start-up".
Really, it's 2013, time to split the artists from the wanna-bes. Starting up on your own is different from doing spec work for someone else's startup. And understand, that's not my line of reasoning at all. My reasoning is "no coder worth the money is ever going to make an extremely detailed project on the hopes of winning a meager amount of money and maybe the chance to do more extremely detailed projects for probably a similar amount of money" Sure, offer spec work, but make the payout at least worth spending alot of time on it so you can get some decent results Understand, I don't care what you are. Ideally you care what you are, but if you don't that's also fine, don't expect me to parent you. I'm not your mommy, and you can't blackmail me with "I'll fuck up my future because this pays $150 now".
Blackmail? what? I'm just offering suggestions on why you aren't finding any talent, not blackmail. Well, the fact that you have 9k bitcoins allocated for it actually makes it different. Thats Good. You have the chance of actually funding it. Chance? No chance. Why chance? Sorry, i meant seeing the project to conclusion. however, already it looks like you are terrible at funding it. You are only allocating about 1BTC to find an artist that is supposedly going to do alot of work on the art of your game. It may have a huge influence on the artstyle as you are planning to use it as a slash screen. Is the art of your game only worth 1BTC to find a good artist? No. The "artist's" airs are worth nothing at all, so MP is offering something symbolic, a token if you wish. To be perfectly clear, in case any doubt lingers: until and unless you've submitted art you are not an artist. Irrespective of what you might have heard, from parents/girlfriend/that guy you're paying for the purpose, you are not an artist until and unless you deliver. what huh? what does my status as an artist have to do with the point? I never said I was that good of an artist. Ive made some money doing commissions here and there to various people and companies (none of them friends or family), but I don't consider myself a professional artist. None of that has anything to with the point. My point is that artstyle is a major important part of game development and (at least to me) its a bad sign that you seem to be throwing it to spec work with a tiny payout when you have such a big budget? Usually a spec contest with this type of payout would be made from basement developers with a measly budget, and the quality that they get is what they pay for. You are only shortchanging yourself. Offer a pot of 3-7btc, get actual quality submissions. Hell you paid 10btc when they worth more for people to photoshop a rape scene and look at the crap you got. Apparently your reading is VERY selective. That's not how reading works. And since I'm doing this retarded "let me pick up the bits you've neglected because they don't serve the idiocy you wish to proceed from", Where did you advertise the rape photoshop contest? Here or on your blog? Yes there were a small amount of entries there, some of them were ok but nothing that amazing, ill admit. I suspect thats because not many people saw the contest, but i may be wrong. Then again, theres not much you can do with photoshopping pictures of porn. Honestly you should have offered a much smaller payout for that, and a higher payout for this contest. This one takes more work. On the other side of the planet, you can't insulate yourself from risks. Being part of a start-up is being part of a start-up, you can't play 9 to 5 office on one end and then cash in like an entrepreneur on the other end. You don't get the benefit of signing your name on tomorrow's megafranchise without putting a lot of your work at risk. Joanne Rowling pitched her book to almost one hundred publishers over years before being accepted, on a very tight contract. You're more than welcome to wait for someone to pay you a generous salary a year in advance and then make you famous, but if you hold your breath for it you'll die. And if you don't hold your breath for it you'll get sick of Ramen sooner or later. What? no ones asking for a generous salary, or payout. I never said it doesn't take risk. Just something worth the risk. $150 is not enough to take the risk of spec work of a 2048×1536 res fantasy game splash scene where we are not even sure what we are drawing is in line with whatever game idea you have in your head. I prefer to make things tailored specifically to the project at hand., that way they can license it for whatever they want fully You're not that cool yet. In order for you to be that cool you have to first be an artist. You're not an artist, not yet. Are you gonna be one or are you gonna just go the way of that other failure (ie, moltenmich)? Thats unfair. Like I said, Ive done a few tiny freelance projects for companies before. |

On IRC, MP said that S.MG will have a bottomless need for more artwork to create their games. If you approach this as a job interview rather than a competition to make a quick buck then you might see the utility of entering an example of your work.
Yes I saw this. My counter point is that this opportunity may not be worth as much as you think it is. You know how many game startups pop up all the time? All asking for spec work, with a promise of additional work? Every single one of these claim that they are an amazing opportunity, and that the artist should be thankful for getting the opportunity to work for them. This is not a new idea or concept, its been treaded down hundreds of times before. What makes your project different from all the other failures? Why should I spend the time doing artwork for you, and not all the startups on every game development forum there is? Time is a limited resource, after all, and the cash payout here isnt that good. Well, the fact that you have 9k bitcoins allocated for it actually makes it different. Thats Good. You have the chance of actually funding it. So in that case, it looks like this might actually be a good opportunity. however, already it looks like you are terrible at funding it.

Offer a pot of 3-7btc, get actual quality submissions. That is the only point I am making in my post. That's the funny thing. Anything "an artist" would have to do is take whatever fantasy-y thing he has in his portfolio, crop it to the requested dimension and - bingo - you've got a valid entry. Then see how things go from there.

random clueless ranting
Read the thread. All your misstated concerns are already addressed therein. For bonus brownie points, also read the article referenced in the OP, including the respective comments. Then maybe you have something to say. Currently you do not. I read the entire thread and the article, and the comments. Perhaps you didn't read my post at all? I clearly quoted from your conversation with ThickandTheives. I could go back through all your conversations and posts and pick out the points that you make that I believe are flawed, but then we amusingly have the same situation all over again: a ton of work for potentially no payout, as I doubt you will even stop a second to consider the points I am making, as I did you. How about you address the points made in my previous post instead of writing it off as clueless ranting, and maybe we could have an interesting discussion? humour me. |

mircea_popescu Hey, I don’t care. People need to understand that you get nothing for nothing. Rofl, exactly, I don't understand how people can't get this If you are gonna make a contest, at least offer a decent amount of money for the winner so its worth the risk of spending all that time for potentially no pay $150 is pennies for something like this. Im poor as fuck and could use the money, but Id rather flip burgers for guaranteed pay. In contrast, on reddit some guy was doing a contest like this for video submissions, and he got some decent submissions because he offered 5BTC + smaller prizes for 2nd and 3rd place I entered and won 1st and 2nd -( it was a recurring contest) - so don't accuse me of being afraid to do a little spec work, but the payout at least has to be enticing. also, im curious, why 2048×1536? thats overkill resolution. |

Ive been buying computer parts. So close to buying the last parts I need for my computer. All I need is about 0.2 btc, or for the price to go up a few more dollars  |

If you claim to have credentials in understanding virtual currency than what would you have studied? Second life or World of Warcraft? Bitcoin is a whole new world and let's face it, as a speculation vehicle the price is dependent on faith and news right now. People still aren't able to predict weather and they have more to work with than Bitcoin speculators do.
TF2 unusuals not really the same, but games can have ridiculous virtual economies sometimes |

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This post is to confirm that I have commissioned Ls777 to create a custom 1920x1080 wallpaper for me. We have agreed on a timeframe of 3 weeks from today for the work to be finished (with up to an additional week (7 days) extension at Ls777's request). Due to the recent voltaility in Bitcoin and the longer time horizon, we have agreed to a final price of $100 USD, however, final payment will be in Bitcoin at the equivalent exchange rate when payment is due. Payment is due when Ls777 delivers to me (CurbsideProphet) a final draft and I feel the work is done and to my satisfaction. In the event of a dispute between myself and Ls777, the Bitcoin community will be allowed to conduct the arbitration. Arbitrators must have a minimum of 500 forum posts and have been a member for at least 12 months. Arbitration will be open for 1 week (7 days) from the time the dispute is made public with each qualified arbitrator having 1 vote in the matter. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.18 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.orgiQIcBAEBAgAGBQJRafyeAAoJEPCjssYZdvsgPBEP/i27oL82aqbQCkmKpWFjnDoD TkmFcIk8ODKtsZXFbhuBnEIS8SVXY7tIjDhW9X1Vgiit7NXxrMEFBBb3vLwJbnIr vR5/HEMpczUVj/u6Bw3VJjRxbRCedahNNQX9T+y/ce3uqanGj3G+criVveulP/yE SM0Uy4/bsA+/rc152sGg3MNDl4YiQv1rXu0vy/eDq+CQb5D42WXpw5z90gFIl1d8 BClfxw9tss1Hht/W6XC2zSmXvL9rlkXmR6jUhEpeU7k+pMfrehZUZPgJT164LTyY bR4vY/3G/5IMajO8dW8fXz4VYIbeaWe0LWuuyNv+ontm7O4pv31fK1c2gDy51HHd d0gV1WlqaCiavnYdABWI+GTknV83FJBam8cjGmiY+IQizhNdcxhiFnzMwo67ISXm 4+ZSRu9KO5evs4Mh5sUZXyLgKkvwrH2va/3MR2FyiaAT3oY824Dyg0YYuE3+k/+I 92d+ajouU3h78TJIudQXkpMkJDFLZP/guBQENwh9C52nTIChDSZ9f4IrZiwd2sQw OcvhgHHKTD4PrBl3NSJV4qhWsMpzAiOWo/sPTUXfwxsgpbC/k2O0CiYCUexPXnZl ldnVdCsoesXWb2Autzcd+yOFH3wpyfGpQFAK3225GwPsBCiyQul9t3UyU7CAz886 6IBmJLW1XcPFfNNVrngq =i88L -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Ls777, please quote and post that you agree to the terms.

My favorite part is where you said "ONLY 500 250 100 COPIES LEFT"
You did not understand. He said: "4. The price will be increasing to BTC5 after first 100 copies are sold." Therefore there is 100 copies before the price will be increased to 5 btc (currently 1 btc).  I understood well enough. You didn't understand. I'm saying he way he worded it ( "ONLY 500 250 100 COPIES LEFT") implies that it originally was 500 copies, then it was 250, and now its only 100 before the price change which implies he sold 400 copies already. |

Requires money up front ✓
dramatic claims of free money with little or no details ✓
Bolded text, bold colors, BUY NOW ✓
Time limited offer to create a sense of urgency ✓
Attacks anyone who shows healthy skepticism ✓
My favorite part is where you said "ONLY 500 250 100 COPIES LEFT"
I wonder where those 400 people who bought in already are
You really can't blame anyone for not taking you seriously. Anyone who has used the internet for more than a week can see the warning signs all over this. (even if you are honest-to-god legit)
Based on the other thread, im betting the free reviewers will have it work for a bit, post here here saying that it works which will hype other people into buying it, and then after that their adsense account will be banned.
(and good luck to those who want that refund)
