This is good.

Should we make a concept test to see whether an alternative advertising works even better?

What about:
"Bitcoin - the best electronic payment"

Bitcoin > Paypal.

BTW, the liberty ads work well on...well LIBERTY related site.

I was thinking about what got me initially excited about bitcoin back when I read the article in Eliott Wave Theorist.

I think it was Bitcoin, the non-inflationary currency!.  And then when I delved deeper into it, I got excited about Bitcoin, the micro-payment solution!

I pledge 15 BTC for advertising.  What address do I send coins to, Kiba?

Hey. I forgot you! The 15 BTC weren't worth enough dollars to be able to deposit into projectwonderful. Do you want a refund?

Oh. No problem.  You can keep the 15 BTC to help support your art.

Does this mean you don't want to accumulate small amounts of coin and convert when it's enough? I'll give 10 BTC if it'll eventually trickle in.

End of campaign report:

Expired 10 days ago...30 days campaign.

Expense: 23.83 USD. 41 % of our overall budget which is 57.60. Last day of activity was .45 cents.

Pageviews: 373,768 total.
Total clicks: 110
CPM: 0.06 USD
CPC: 0.22 USD
CTR: 0.03 %


All in all, an ineffective campaign. The money is better spent elsewhere.


I will return what left of the funds by pledge percentage rate to donors should they choose to do so within 30 days.

I hope I'm alone with this constructive criticism, but if I didn't know what bitcoin was, my reaction to that banner would definitely be "just another HYIP scam", which of course is the wrong impression!  Perhaps a larger bounty is needed for a more professional looking banner, although I also think this effort could be a bit premature since there is still no easy way for newcomers to trade bitcoin.

at least in Europe there is a very easy way for newcomers to buy bitcoins:
Euro bank wire to MtGox or bitcoin-central.
it can't get much easier ( its actually easier and faster vs. Opening up an account ( depot) for trading stocks   in Europe.

I don't feel like doing the hassle of generating so many different kind of banners and testing them. For the pay, it was a lot of work.

I made a request for the withdrawal of 32.77(1 dollars subtracted for withdrawal fee) USD from the advertising account at projectwonderful. These funds will be converted back into bitcoin.

Remember, you can request your bitcoin back based on the percentage of contribution you made at the start of this campaign. Say, you contribute 5% of the total pledges. You will get back 5% of the remaining bitcoin.

OTHERWISE, the funds will be redirected to other bounty project of my choosing.

I will be PM each of you pledgees to see if I can get a response here on this topic.

Currently WTFing over the fact that the refund is transfered into my credit card as credit making my credit card debt negative 32.77 USD.
