I am considering sponsoring this issue. How many BTC is required to make it downloadable for free?
You want to advertise in The Bitcoin Times? Unfortunately I have nothing to advertise, just want to help.

If that's ok with you, you can put in my Bitcoin address somewhere in there if someone feels like donating a few BTC.

would I be taking over next issue, or would I get a bunch of stuff for this issue and have people be like "hey this needs to go out NOW!" Assuming the current issue is coming out this week.
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. I will not commit to be the Lead Editor, but if chris200x9 wants any help I would be glad to do proofreading (grammar, spelling, punctuation, style/usage). I have no interest in advertising / soliciting / organizing. Let me know.

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)
Unfortunately tomorrow is not possible. I rather need until next friday so it will be on time for next weeks edition.

I periodically check to see what is being said in the Local forums for the non-English languages. Though I only can read posts written in English, viewing those forums is trivial thanks to modern browsers (e.g., Chrome) which translate -- however doing so is time consuming and often there appears to be much lost in the translation.
If anyone is wondering what they might contribute to the Bitcoin Times and happens to be multilingual, even just a paragraph or three highlighting the best of what was found in those forums over the past week would be something I would find quite worthwhile.

This would interest me as well. I used to go in there, but the signal to noise ration was low, probably because of translation issues. And there is probably more going on in there now too.

In case anyone wanted to learn Polish I run my own forum on Bitcoin in Polish here: http://bitcoin.pl/forumI would be willing to translate some articles from Bitcoin Times to Polish (already translated the interview with Gavin and working on the Bitcoin Wiki in Polish - http://bitcoin.org.pl/wiki).

Nice!
I will download it and read it later. Thanks! I think the magazine could use some small advertisements. Why don't you just add some affiliate links and link those in the .pdf? If they are bitcoin related sites it makes nice content too?
What program did you use to publish it? Quark Express or something else?
Kind regards,
M

There were quite a few spelling mistakes, Kiba's byline is very repetitive and in my opinion unprofessional. Also I think the mention of operationfabulous' bug fixes on 1/19/11 is repetitive. Some things could have been worded better too IMO. Great job though

The magazine's next issue will now be posted on next Wednesday.
Will the editor please choose the submission deadline and provide for an email address by which writers can submit their article?
Also, advertisers will have the same deadline as the writers'. If you want to advertise in The Bitcoin Times, please speak with the editor.
(Now, Chris200x9...time to start your job!)
