How about creating a security bounty that incentivize white hat hackers to look for security flaws in bitcoin exchanges?

Since the last Bitcoin Weekly thread is getting a bit stale, I decided to start a new update thread.

Current Ransom Thread: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=23934.0

In other news, we now have a comic archive but beware that the navigation system for comics may change rapidly and the comic archive's location may be changed.

If you visit the comics link, it will direct you to the latest comics in the Bitcoin Weekly's comic archive. For a full list of comics to read, you can click on the comics archive at the bottom of each comic page.

Also, if you have any comment about the magazine, don't hesitate to give us a shoutout.

[Bitcoin for Individual-to-Individual Transactions and Community Trade]

Bitcoin Weekly is ransoming the article Bitcoin for Individual-to-Individual Transactions and Community Trade by Vitalik Buterin for .50 BTC in a business model experiment. This is because the magazine have trouble raising enough revenues via publishing advertising to pay current expense, in the form of writers and cartoonists.

Donate .50 BTC to this address 1JYXS3dpHjk9MT7U6oXNKwfVeubW41iWkf

Time period and method for consideration of publication:

It will be checked via http://blockexplorer.com/address/1JYXS3dpHjk9MT7U6oXNKwfVeubW41iWkf

For me, If it is found to exceed or meet .50 BTC in the time period of 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM(time before I work), I will publish this article.

For the author of said ransomed article, if it is found to exceed or meet .50 BTC, he is authorized to publish it.

It will continues to be checked until .50 BTC are donated.

Implication for Success of Experiment:

If successful, then it will be on my agenda to start development of a fully automated ransoming system right after the completion of the comics section and the news service.

Also, donating to ransoms will be more attractive in the future.There may be discounts and prizes for donating certain level of bitcoin to the magazine. For now, I need to do this experiment to validates the business model and save Bitcoin Weekly from insolvency.

If you love Bitcoin Weekly's works and would like Bitcoin Weekly to continues publication, please consider a token donation.

Thanks in advance, for all your support and business.

Ladies and gentlemen, to clear out the troll topics, I present the Bitcoin Is Worse is Better article for discussion.

http://bitcoinweekly.com have a great month. We repeatedly broke traffic record, become more famous, and still keep a 100% public domain website.

I hired a cartoonist to work with the magazine and soon he will have a dedicated comic section as opposed to be one of the articles.

As always, there is constant improvement to the site such as the upcoming Random Article of the Day and the already mentioned Comic section which will roll out after the random article.

Unfortunately, revenues for Bitcoin Weekly is not keeping up.
 
My employment cost for three dudes, 1.5 BTC, 1 BTC, and 2 BTC(soon to be 1 BTC I hope) means that I spent 4.5 BTC every week getting regular production of new contents. Not to mention the variable cost of freelancers which could be anywhere from 1 BTC to 3 BTC in a good week. I am lowering the rate of article commission to .50 BTC to keep cost down and will do negotiation with the 2 BTC guy.

My revenues is mainly what I get from Operation Fabulous, which is currently 0.08 each day. That mean .56 BTC per week. You do the map.

We will also roll out a news service in partnership with Bitcoin Watch, which will provide additional revenues to make up for the cost.

So, in short, it costs me 4.5 to 7.5 BTC each week to run the magazine. Currently, I have  9.58300000001 BTC which is not very much. I will get .56 BTC every week and perhaps 2 or 3 BTC every month from the news service and bitcoinweekly is not yet a sustainable operation.

So what can you do for the magazine? Well, if you like us, you might consider buying a Bitcoin Weekly t-shirt.  Half of the profit goes back to fund the magazine.

If you like to get your money worth, you can find us on Operation Fabulous where you can advertise your goods and services.

If you're feeling generous, you can always tip us at 1NWc7N4FAs55hJ1xdTf3KWHZD89yn2PQKV (We currently don't get much donations)

Show us your love for the magazine, and we will supply a steady stream of Bitcoin Analysis and comics for years to come.

Since bitcoinweekly doesn't care about copyright*...let me modify my competitor's writing to use for my own purpose!

1.  Only forum members who have register before this post.
2. Only forum members who have 50 posts or more. Meh. Don't care. Just don't try to trick me in giving you more than 10 bitcents.
3.  To claim your payment, place post in this thread with your bitcoin address (and a sig that references Bitcoin Weekly, and it must be links to http://bitcoinweekly.com).
4.  Offer valid until 2 BTC supply.
5. Pretty please put the link there for one month.

* Ok..I do care about copyright. It just mean that I care enough not to get sued. Plagiarizing is bad even in a copyfree world, etc.

Ah, it's good to execute a competitor's idea.

Edit: Add a pretty please.

We now have an official Bitcoin Weekly t-shirt. Yes, you heard that right!

Square Wear took the comic http://bitcoinweekly.com/articles/bitcoin-comic-whack-a-mole, which was created by shazow, and turned it into an amazing t-shirt.

Everytime you buy a t-shirt from Square Wear, the profit is spilt to Bitcoin Weekly. That mean everytime you buy an official Bitcoin Weekly t-shirt, you will support the content production at the magazine.

Love the articles we produce at bitcoinweekly.com? Please support us by buying an awesome t-shirt from http://www.squarewear.biz/index.php?route=product/category&path=35_37

Thank you for your support.

The marketplace and the Russian forums are larger than what they appears to be. I know this face but I dislike the inaccuracy caused by forum subdivision.

It's a minor issue...but still...

What would I need to know so that I can build a bitcoin wallet within javascript and chrome's local storage database?

Let just say I have a need for...wallet making to increase the bitcoin chrome project's independence against the bitcoin daemon.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/detail/npcplhlpjnnoclccciijknpgjkfbddbg/publish-accepted?hl=en-US

In order to use this, you must configure your bitcoin extension to use the bitcoin daemon rpcuser and password.

So why I am ain't in hell yet sharing places with recent victims of demonic armies? 

I guess the devil doesn't really exists and some Christians are really just nuts. 

How about making this http://bitcoinweekly.com/articles/bitcoin-comic-whack-a-mole into a t-shirt?

This would support bitcoin journalism at Bitcoin Weekly.

Remember the Gimp Letter Writing Campaign? It went nowhere because I was lazy.

Let finish this so I don't have to worry about the 600 BTC.

I need somebody to check a Polish translation to make sure what I gotten is not crap. It's .10 bitcoin for the job.

Please note you must have a reputation of speaking Polish or doing something with Polish language to qualify. Post here first and I'll talk to you via PM.

Well, I believe it was only 50,000 pagviews a few weeks ago and now it's 100 K. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um63OQz3bjo&feature=player_embedded

We're going to try out a new business model for bitcoin weekly...but we need an advertising sponsor to do it.

If you're the type  that like to run promotions and discounts. Let me know at hackerkiba   at  gmail.com

There's old computer equipment in our homes...but I wonder if there's a market for electronic junks in the bitcoin market.

Would be great if there's a business reputation system so that I can figure out on a short glance if I want to do business with a forum user.

Extra bonus if it incorporate bitcoin-otc.

I suggest we move the server to a host that the owner can pay his bill in bitcoin.

The forum software did not count the posts subforum toward a forum's count, therefore misleading us on the size of certain language communities and forums. One particular example is the Russian community. At first glance, it's as inactive as other language forum but in reality it is the second largest language community, next to English.
