[CLOSED] 0.15 BTC per transcript of LetsTalkBitcoin

[Voodah]

I just wanted to note that I don't see episode 36 anywhere in the PR queue.  Could you let me know its status?

Calm down. We noticed your submission. It will be proofread. Give Kluge some time.
He will probably look at submissions from "new" authors first, to see if there are major problems that need to be addressed.
With your transcription, he's sure that you didn't do something totally wrong, so you're probably a little lower priority, is that okay?

Which episode can I do?? Im waiting...

Ok, this is already kind of ridiculous.

Over the last few pages people have turned into rude desperate greedy ungrateful bastards.

ENOUGH.

Show some respect for Qwk or Kluge (whom I don't personally know or have any kind of relationship with). They are doing their thing, keeping their word, trying to be fair and keep everybody happy.

The lack of respect shown by some posts like this last one baffles me. Get your shit together guys !

Yup, I have no problem with that at all.  Thanks, qwk and Kluge, for your time.  Also, I would just like to say that I would be interested in transcribing another episode, if there are any available.  I realize that some have already been spoken for, but all the same I thought I would say something.

Personally I would lock this topic and open it back up when everything is up to date. This topic is now attracting the wrong kind of people.

I thought about that, but on the other hand, let people have their drama

I think I mentioned it earlier, there is no wait list, there will not be a wait list, I don't care if anyone writes "I want to do an episode" here. I'll simply ignore it.

Sooner or later I'll make episodes available again, and then it'll be first come, first served.

Sorry, I must've missed what you said earlier.  In any case, sounds good, I'll just wait on the word from you then.  Thanks, again, I appreciate your and Kluge's hard work.

[Kluge]

Hey,

I just wanted to note that I don't see episode 36 anywhere in the PR queue.  Could you let me know its status?

Sorry, I missed it, and even the two times you posted about it (I generally only read posts with links in here). It's added in there, now.

Take e46 from me. Proxy person never got to it.

If anyone's done a transcription and doesn't see their thread on the queue, lemme know. Better yet, just send me the Scribd link via PM when you finish one to make sure I add it.

Not a problem, I know you must be very busy with all these proof readings and I completely understand how you missed it.  Thanks for getting back with me. 

Also, I'd be happy to transcribe E46, thanks for the offer.

Anyone know how to add a break after a break in LibreOffice? I don't want it double-spaced, but sometimes, when I download a .docx file, it removes all the line spacing after a speaker's finished.

So... in LibreOffice (looks totally fine on Scribd), it looks like

Code:

AA:  With me today, we have Gavin Andresen, chief scientist of the Bitcoin Foundation and also lead developer of Bitcoin who gave us some great information on ASICs mining and consensus voting as well as the new payment protocols in 0.9.  Gavin, thank you so much for joining us today.
GA:  Thanks for having me, I really enjoy listening to the show.
AA:  That’s a great honor and we hope to have you back soon, thank you.

when it should look like

ETA: Nevermind. Figured out a solution. (in case I forget) In Paragraph->Indents&Spacing there is a "Spacing" tab. Add .2" before and after paragraphs.

I have a question on the conjunctions. I'm about 50 min into 1:17 of episode 6, and I'm having a little bit of trouble with the way Jeffrey Tucker speaks. Specifically, he uses a lot of sentence fragments that are strung together with conjunctions or filler words like *and* or *you know*. I try to cut them out when I can but sometimes the 'You Knows' seem to capture Jeffrey's speaking style, and sometimes they seem as just filler.

I also find myself using a lot of commas. JT tends to put short pauses between thoughts and I am not sure whether to use commas or periods. I'm wondering if it is just better to have a lot of short sentences or a long sentence with commas for the pauses.

You know I don’t think it's a coincidence at all that we saw the rise of Bitcoin at the time that we’ve seen it - right after the currency crisis of 2008. 
That really put everybody on notice, something is not working about the system. You know it’s exactly that period the regulators, the Fed and the Treasury 
and everything, they sent the entire system into a gigantic upheaval that’s fundamentally changed its workability. Banks today don’t work anything like what 
they worked like ten years ago. It’s a completely different operation. They make money in a different way, their reserves are handled in a completely different 
way, the Federal Reserve is totally dedicated to [hampering] down interested to zero, to negative. Money and the financial system just isn't working the way 
it used to work, so Satoshi’s invention, you know with Bitcoin, comes along really at exactly the right time. It’s kind of the perfect storm in many ways.

Note: I absolutely love his analysis of economics and bitcoin. I'm really glad I was able to sit down and write this transcript because he brings up so many good points of view that I didn't pick up on when I was listening to the podcast.

Hello, i'm still working on episode 57. I started on the 25th of November.
I'm just posting here to "renew" my reservation. I'll be done within the week.

I'd keep the "you know" in that case, but change some other things around. ", but the same kind of thing, you know - it also happened in education, it's happened in healthcare, it's happened in [whatever the other example was]." Semicolons, colons, hyphens, and double hyphen-minuses are all acceptable to me, though semicolons and colons are preferable. Kieran does a great job with handling sentence structure to preserve thought flow (way better than I) - so if you're looking for some good examples, check out his transcripts.

Thanks Kluge for your time. I'll give my transcript one more read through and see if I can't make those changes consistent throughout. I think I tried to stay away from colons, but it seems like you favor them in some spots where I would put a hyphen. I was using the hyphen in spots where the sentence was interrupted by a tangent thought - speaking of tangents, there was this one time in Calculus class - but then reverts back to the original line of thinking.

I do like your suggestion to use the colon where the subsequent idea is a 'furthermore' or an 'i.e.', if that makes sense.

Anyway I'm all but done except for self-corrections round 2.

Also remember that 0.05 of the payment for this one is due to go to bitcoinpsftp, as per our agreement. I'd post his address, but I screwed that up last time so I'll let him sort that part out.

Well, my address was added earlier on, but to make things easier on the thread owner, my address is the following:

This is a pretty epic service.  I wonder, will prices be going down in the very near future?

[Abdussamad]

Yes they will. qwk did say that the reward would go down in the future. More importantly there are no more eps available and I am not sure the bounty will continue for much longer. Let's see what happens

Yeah, I know, I was half-joking. Basically, last time I split an episode, I somehow screwed up the last character of Marcotheminer's address when I posted the transcript, so if Qwk/Marco hadn't noticed, those BTC would've gone to an invalid wallet. I didn't want to risk making that mistake again.

Kluge, my ego is grateful for the sentence structure comments. I'm an English literature major (that's what you say in the US, right?), and I've always been kind of nitpicky about punctuation and grammar. For the record, your "version" of wc4482's paragraph was fine, as far as I can see.

Yes they will. qwk did say that the reward would go down in the future. More importantly there are no more eps available and I am not sure the bounty will continue for much longer. Let's see what happens

The bounty will have to be lowered in the future, that's for sure.
I have no intention whatsoever at the moment to stop this project, though.
And it's not like I'm running out of funds anytime soon
