[CLOSED] 0.15 BTC per transcript of LetsTalkBitcoin

[devthedev]

Bit OT: Could someone give me the name of a web service which'll accept an http link, download it, then host it for me?
(or if Adam/Crystal could give me FTP access, that'd be cool -- I'm currently VPS-less)

The vast majority of my time "proofreading" is actually spent stopping and restarting the audio download from Soundcloud because they don't support resume and are particularly quick to time out a connection (my connection isn't reliable, so I can only download 1-2 per day, sometimes none).

Y'know, you're downloading a 41MB file @ a rate of 4.1kb/s, and an hour in, you have to restart. Frustrating, put mildly.  

We upload all our episodes to youtube - Does that work better?

Also, the show *is* a podcast, not only can you download each episode from the soundcloud page (click the Download button) but if you subscribe with any normal podcast program you'll be able to download any/all episodes of LTB and play them back in whatever software you want.

Does that fit what you need?

Oh, cool - I totally missed the RSS feed (I kept looking through SoundCloud wondering which freakin' button I was missing). That seems to be working well, and it keeps it all in WinAmp, which is nice. Thanks!


(-But Andreas was near a bunch of chickens, right? I didn't mishear that? I'm not crazy?)

I don't think you're that crazy to be hearing chickens

So the chickens were from Adam's side, not Andreas'?

May I please reserve episode 48?

And out of curiosity, those of you who have done some episodes, about how long did it take you? Say, for a one-hour episode, could you do it in two hours?

I type comfortably at 75wpm and I've hit 94wpm in a one-minute long typing speed test, I think I ought to be able to make this profitable.

Plan on 3+.

[HenryRomp]

Even if it takes five hours that's almost $25 an hour. Sounds good to me.

could I reserve:
E48 – Cypherpunks and Globetrotting

[KieranJones1]

Hello, I'd like to reserve episode 9, "Bitcoin 2013 Kickoff!". I intend to start transcribing it immediately!

EDIT: I've just seen this:

Edit: Just saw that someone had already reserved that episode, it's just not updated in the main list.  Does anyone have E09 – Bitcoin 2013 Kickoff?

I'd like to reserve "E09 – Bitcoin 2013 Kickoff!" if it is available.

I'm currently 2500 words into writing a transcription of this episode so I'd really, really appreciate it if I could take this one, even though xkeyscore89 rightfully claimed it first. You can click here to read what I've got so far - I've uploaded it as proof that I'm not just being a dick to the other guy. Please let me know who "gets" this one, I'd hate to have to start again after sinking several hours in already.

Oh god, that was a lot of wasted time. 4263 words!

Thanks for being gracious about it, I guess I'll transcribe another. I should've looked more closely before picking this one. Fuck.

[KieranJones1]

Followup: I'd like to reserve episode 42, "NSA It Ain't So!". I've just spent four hours getting 3/4 of the way through an episode which I didn't realise was reserved, so I've gone through all the previous pages and CTRL+F'd "42" and I can't find any results. I'm going to start on 42 now, but given this'll be the second script I'm doing, I'd really appreciate a confirmation that this one isn't reserved or that I'll definitely receive 0.15 BTC for doing it. Thanks!

That sucks! I can only imagine the feeling.... I have 5 minutes left on my transcription, so I know how much time you have invested in it O.o

Heh, I appreciate the concern. I'm already 814 words into the next episode so it's not so bad, but if it turns out someone else has claimed this episode... so help me God.

I'd like to claim E41 – Bitcoin in Real Life.

{This is actually a great exercise in learning bitcoin history}

I'd like to reserve E49-Disruptive People, please.

Did I miss something? I don't see a previous reservation of e49.

✔ Sorry for the confusion about e09.
To the best of my knowledge I confirm that e42 is available for you
And yes, you'll receive 0.15 BTC if you deliver an acceptable transcription


On a side note, to all who PMed me about this:
Please, I'm not online 24 hours a day
(Even if I am, I'm sometimes busy with other stuff, so I can't always take the time to double-check in this thread and update the reservations' list).

If you're unsure about a reservation, just wait a couple hours or a day or even two, before you get to work!
Your reservations in this thread will always be confirmed and will make it into the official list.

Yep, I got it right in the list, but got it wrong in the post

bV, you don't have a valid reservation, sorry.

Thanks to Adam's awesome help, proofreading will get done much faster. 9 finished (amazing work -- lowest FP score of any, by far), onto 30.

(PR queue still on pg10 and being updated. Bothered theymos about adding it to pg1 after qwk did -- feel free to bother him again for us. )

[reebr]

Can I reserve E02 please?

[qwk]

Added a few more transcriptions to the list, also proofs.

I'm unsure about e55, is there still the MISSING DATA issue?

I'll get to payments of proofread episodes soon, no worries!

Well, that escalated quickly
First time I added the proofread before the transcript.

(PR queue still on pg10 and being updated. Bothered theymos about adding it to pg1 after qwk did -- feel free to bother him again for us. )

Probably nobody understands what you're talking about.
First, I asked forum admin theymos to insert Kluge's post as number 3 into this thread.
That way, the list of open transcriptions and the list of proofreading guidelines etc. would be on page number one of this thread, which would be nice.
Theymos already did it for my post number 2. But he's is always busy and keeps forgetting about these things
Unfortunately, normal Mods can't do it

[qwk]

Can I reserve E02 please?

Done.

[qwk]

I've completed episode 30: http://www.scribd.com/doc/186559855/E30-Bitcoin-and-Freedom-of-Speech
Address: [...]

You might've forgot to add this one to the list  

Yep, must have slipped my attention. Also, I was mostly checking the proofread ones
