[BitFunder] Bitcoin Pride - Bitcoin Shirts

[Monster Tent]

I'd love to see some t-shirts with "famous" quotes from bitcointalk, like this:

FIAT
are so much
debase
                   DoomDumas
                       bitcointalk
                        March '13

But not HUGE, but small, like on the chest to the left, where the hears is

Or a site that lets you design your own tshirt.

Exactly, as suggested before. This was mainly to illustrate the need for that

I hope you like the solution we came up with .

I want us to continue expanding Bitcoin Pride more and more as time goes on.

We don't want to get carried away and put all of our eggs in one basket though.

Expect this in the next 4 weeks:

1. Increase in product diversification.
2. More payment processors.
3. More options to buy Bitcoin including Physical options like Casascius Physical Bitcoins and Bitbills.
4. Paid advertising testing and tweaking.
5. Site-wide SEO and product description optimization.
6. Site-wide conversion rate optimization.

If you have any questions please do let me know.

Thank you,

God Bless

This sounds awesome!

Okay, I submitted a design, do we wait for your approval for it to be displayed for voting?

The approvals will always be made by the admins of the site.

I have approved your awesome submission! Voting takes place in the form of likes.

The more votes/discussion your design has, the higher the chance for winning!

[ThickAsThieves]

Awesome, I'll share it up!

[dashteeb]

Very cool!  Thanks for being so responsive to community input. 

I made several submissions, a few hours ago, but don't see them outside of my "Customer Pictures" account. 

A question:  Are these submissions to serve as the actual files that will be used on the products, or just to serve as reference art from which the vectorized files will be created?  I submitted my designs under the assumption that they would serve as reference art, not the actual vectorized files that would go directly on the products.

I see BitcoinPride ads on Reddit

There are a few questions asked in the comments section - you may want to get to them.

Thanks.

Weekly dividends is a pretty good idea.
0.85% dividend per week is pretty awesome too - if this continues.

Keep up the good work.

Why is the dividend payed twice ? Is it an error ?

Why is the dividend payed twice ? Is it an error ?

The amount was wrong, so he had me correct it into one dividend.

[strello]

I realise you must be very busy at the moment, so apologies for this distraction, but is there any news on when this week's dividend might happen?
Thanks.

[Logik]

Bump. No div, no communication. What gives?

[FlipPro]

Sorry guys! I had family fly in town and the dividend was taking longer to calculate due to an EXTREME increase in demand for both Bitcoins and TShirts...

I will be releasing the dividends shortly.

Again sorry for the pause in communication.

[dashteeb]

Thanks for the update. 

How are your new t-shirt designs coming along with the ideas and designs your getting from the design competitions?

Dividends for 3/9/13 - 3/22/13 released.

Profit: 15.50 BTC

Next dividend payout: March 31st.
