edit: just finished reading it, it was kind of sparse on content but very enjoyable and pretty good. I like the whole state of bitcoin in the first part, maybe that could be done every issue? My only suggestion is more content and more frequent releases. Other than that, rock on!

That was also my suggestion as well. So I managed to convince fabanhjr to temporary change to this format.

The next issue will be free to download, I hope.

Downloaded the paper, it's nice!
Maybe there could be some kind of market analysis included too ?

I am not sure what value we could add by publishing content that appears everywhere else.(no offense to S3052)

In any case, I have completed three articles submitted for peer review by fabianhjr. With an article by fabianhjr, we should have 4 articles altogether for next issue.

that's fine.
I was actually thinking about a more comprehensive overall market review, but i do not want to push anything if it does not appeal to folks

I am a little confused by the changing format/organization of the magazine.  How often is it released?  Are there still panels of judges? Will they be free or will they cost BTC to get the current issues?  What can a contributer expect in terms of compensation?  I am toying with the idea about making a few contributions.  Could you PM me with what you might need and I will see if I can provide anything useful.

It will be released next week. I suspect, Wednesday. No panel of judges, and hopeful there won't be. Fabianhjr still didn't say if the next issue are free but I will fight for a free issue if necessary. Right now, we're splitting the ads revenue between us, equally. (He do the packaging and I get advertisers on board)

PM me your email address and we will see how it will work out.

You could progressively make that content exclusive Smiley

Yeah, I agree that S3053 could give an exclusive article for the magazine. The old way is scrapped and kiba got some advertisers to provide the magazine for free! As of the release it will probably be by tomorrow and on a weekly/bi-weekly basis thanks to kiba! Cheesy

I am still working on a review and if S3052 wants to join he is welcomed. Since the model change I will edit the OP.

I am happy to join. Just let me know some details.

I have some thoughts about what I could write.
  • A thorough BTC market analysis where I will want to look more into the future on longterm trends and price directions, identifying the enxt major targets, supports and resistances (beyond parity, etc.). I always wanted to analyse this more in depth but I dont have the time and incentive to do that as this would cost me 4-8 hours
  • Expanding my analysis to the stock market, the dollar index, gold and silver (this I would do monthly)
  • Covering some technical analysis education / training so that others can learn it

On top of that, we could also ask the readers what they WANT?

Hey that is perfect! Now, don't expect too much Bitcoins though. AFAIK we only have one advertiser which provides a small 2 digit figure. :/
I will be talking with kiba and you about adverting and how much space there is for it. I was thinking about 1 footer and 1 headers only.

Could you quickly have an article for tomorrow?(17:15 right now)

JOB: EDITOR WANTED

Given the influx of interested writer, we will need an editor for the next issue.

One of your job is to basically to review articles:

1. Check for grammar.
2. Check for spelling.
3. Critique the writing.

You will also be responsible for dealing with advertisers and getting them to pay us, and so on.

It's also your job to enforce the deadline. Writers will have to submit an article for review by a certain date with no exception. Advertisers, likewise. You'll get complete freedom to set the review deadline. Just make sure the articles are ready by Sunday,(the real deadline). Any writers who missed the deadline can alway get his article submitted for the next issue.

Compensation: Currently, and temporary, your compensation is a fixed 10% of the pie. (Since fabianhjr is the chief editor, he'll get 5% of the pie because he merely package the content)

Everybody else, which are the writers, will have to fight for his share of the pie. Feel free to reject content that are unworthy of inclusion.

END JOB POST

I only want to write, not edit some other writers' stuff and talk to advertisers. So if you want my "job"(actually, the way we work right now is peer review and I am the person who talks to the advertisers), let me know.

Also, 10% of the pie is not a permanent thing. It can change if needs to be.

It's not done, yet. I am waiting for my review. We're also waiting on the advertiser too.

If nobody else wants it, you can have it.

Be patient. It will be coming out soon this week. If nobody applied by Tuesday, you get the job and manages the next issue after the next issue.

Well, if we don't get the advertiser to submit the content soon we will have to release it with a pricetag of 1 BTC, again. I hope to have this published by tomorrow afternoon(PT) at latest.

I am considering sponsoring this issue. How many BTC is required to make it downloadable for free?
