10% discount on an order of any size at BitBrew, good for one time only,
to anyone who donates 0.05BTC to the Bitcoin Weekly.

The balance is now 0.05 BTC.

The ransom balance is now .10 BTC.

[kiba]

Due to new content ready for publication: the ransom price is now .70 BTC.

New to the ransom are, The Gavinator by Joey Dangerous and Calm After the Storm by Vitalik Buterin.

Also, the ransom balance should shortly be .1001 BTC as one donor donated an extra .0001 BTC to verify his ownership.

I don't get it. You want .70 BTC from people or else you won't publish some article? ...And I care about the article because?

If you like the articles or the comics there, then consider donating some bitcent. You don't have to pay the whole ransom amount.

It's necessary because bitcoinweekly needs to pay its writers and cartoonists. Paying bitcoin compensate them for their work and help them produce more articles and comics.

sent you a very small donation there. Not much but hopefully if you get many people to send a small amount it'll add up.

It's easy to miss these notifications in the forum. If you had a mailing list or something like that might get a better response.

All the articles that been ransomed are now also posted.

This is a perfect example of how unorganized the Bitcoin community is; the majority of which are off on their own producing poorly organized websites in attempts to get a few Bitcents.

I really wish people would post about their ideas BEFORE they do them, so that they can have some help doing it right.
