WE PAY FOR SIGNATURE EVEN MORE. UP TO 0.0016 BTCs PER POST. W

[Farmer17]

Why is there no TX ID for may 29th, the 3rd payout day? Were people actually paid?

We got paid but with lower rates.. this campaign doesnt own the highest rates .. and we hope thursday we get our payment in time

You mean the pay rate has been lowered without modifying the thread or giving any explanation? 

Either that or he didn't count all posts.

i think he mention the rate that he is now unable to pay.if op can not pay then he should imit the campaign with members.He should do quality work not quantity

OP should check his budget before creating the program and  setting the pay rate.
He could have set the rate lower, or accept less participants or set a lower max post limit.

To the very least, he should notice the problem after the first week, and should make some changes right away.

Guys, if he can afford to pay to get on the Bitcoin Foundation he can probably afford to run a sig campaign. He probably just isn't running it very well and struggling with it. You should all remove your signatures after the next payment until issues are resolved.

I am resigning from this signature campaign, reasons: i made a request to get confirmed for the sig campaign but this never happened and its been a week.

So this is my last post while using your sig, don't know if i will get paid for all the posts i made while using your sig.

I am going to agree with this. He has the money, but I think everything got to much to handle (maybe because of website problems, etc).

Didn't notice Updown is a gold member of the Bitcoin Foundation.

Looks like you are right. There have been some issues for deposits in the site.
You can find a few complaints in the page. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=578682.180

I imagine it's a lot of work running a signature campaign successfully. It's probably like a part-time job in itself. If op wants to lower the workload I suggest a similar model to PrimeDice ie you don't have to confirm individual users or workout how much you owe people as they just sign up and claim with a PM at the end of the month and you quickly verify this. That way everybody knows what they're getting and then there's no complaints. Automatic payouts are great if they are actually automatic like they were with Ritz, but clearly they're not here.

I have send him an proposal in which I state that I would takeover his campaign to reduce workload. I will post the proposal here as well, so that you all can see what I send him. I have nothing to hide (well, except personal information).

Hello UpDown.BT,

I know that you are getting a lot of private messages and I can understand if you ignore this message. I won't blame you at all. It's more than understandable.

If you are still reading this, I would like propose something to you. I know that you are really busy with your website and personal life and I could help you with this by taking over your campaign. I know the last one wasn't a big success, but you can checkout my trust rating and check my posts. I have always been fairly active and my reputation is quite good if you ask me.

A bit about me:
I am Mitchell, a 20 year old IT student which started Bitcoin almost one year ago. I have invested a lot of time in it and on this forum, as you can see on this screenshot:

In my Bitcoin life I have met a few amazing people, including NewLiberty (The creator of the New Liberty Dollar and Cold Hard Cash), Rassah (one of the members of Mycelium), Moe (organizer of multiple Bitcoin Conferences) and many other amazing people. I'm have also taken over the Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns Overview from Rannasha, which I try to keep up to date at all times.

Proposal:
Were you to allow me to take over your campaign I would promise (and even sign a contract) that I will act responsibly, within the rules you would provide me and that I won't run away with the money (we could use escrow if you want). All funds would be put into one address, which I would sign to proof that I have control of these funds and show that to the campaign members as well. This allows you (and them) to keep an eye on how the funds are spend. The funds itself will be stored on a paper wallet in a safe place. That way they won't be exposed to hacking attempts.

Me running the campaign would have some advantages as well. Since I have more time to checkout the campaign members and their posts I would be able to do weekly/bi-weekly payments instead of monthly payments. This would make campaign members extremely happy and attract more new members (if that is still needed). I would also be able to quickly respond to changes, new signups and questions. All positive points in my opinion.

I can imagine that you are wondering what I want in return. Well, to be honest, nothing. I might ask for a small donation when I get extremely busy and it starts to consume a lot of my free time, but that's about it. If you think a reward/payment should be done I won't deny it, but at this moment I don't care if I get paid or not. I just want to help out a little.

That's it for now, I suppose. If you have any other questions you would like to ask me, please do ask. I will be awaiting your response (or not if you are ignoring this private message, which is fine as well).

Kind Regards,
Mitchell

Sounds like a decent proposal. I'd also probably be up for running one in a similar fashion but I sure as hell wouldn't be doing it for free haha. They will take up quite a bit of your time and I imagine could become quite stressful very fast, especially if you want to run it well.

Well, the reason why I would do it for free, because I'm almost always online, so everything can be done in a timely fashion without to much pressure. I won't get online after 2 hours and see 20+ new members joining, since I am around anyway.

[hilariousandco]

I'm pretty much always at my comp too, but it's not just about confirming signups swiftly (which you don't even need to do if you go with the PD way I suggested). It's checking peoples' posts and sending out payments that will be the most difficult and stressful part, not to mention also dealing with any questions or issues people may have.

[bluefirecorp]

bitcoininformation,

I honestly think you'd be like the perfect person to take over this campaign. Your quoted information in this thread has probably been a huge help to OP. I really think OP should accept your proposal.

I will most likely create a little script to help me with counting posts, calculating payments and creating a CSV which I can import into Electrum to send the payment. That won't be to diffucult. The most time consuming thing would be post checking and determining if someone should be paid, punished or banned from the campaign.

Thanks a lot man!

[Mitchell]

Sorry for being offtopic here but how to you send mass payments in electrum
I only see a single option

You are able to do this using Electrum 1.9.8. Tools > Create Transaction > From CSV Text. The format has to be the following:

Code:

Address, Amount
115TJLNHbc4opemg4k22Liu4qjFjS1UpiY, 0.2
115TJLNHbc4opemg4k22Liu4qjFjS1UpiY, 0.01

[Rigon]

ok Sent a PM to the op about my missing payments Still did not receive anything, if there are others please PM time to neg the op and leave the campaign. 

[Mitchell]

sn't have to actually be a CSV file it just has to be that layout?
Do I type Address, Amount to ?

Thanks a lot for your help btw

Just that layout. And no, you don't have to type that, it was just to explain what you have to do
And no problem man!

[roslinpl]

Were you confirmed by OP and haven't got paid or what?

Because I think you are the only one who is telling us that he didn't receive payment.

PS.
-I saw your message when you were joining the team.
-You are on the OP's list
-Your address wasn't paid - according to payments TXs.

This is not good indeed.

PS2. I KNOW WHY YOU DIDN'T RECEIVE A PAYMENT:

your "starting" post was edited.



according to rules from #1 post:

f you edit this original post YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE PAYMENT.

If the original post you made signing up has an edit image next to it, you will be disqualified & NOT PAID.

You broke the rules. Case closed. Sorry.

My stats are pretty similar to yours (and I'm pretty much as deeply embedded in the community as you are, as an admin on multiple projects). He denied my request already, when I offered the same thing when I started seeing problems a while back.

With that said, I'd be up for you taking over if he'd let you. I was just offering since I'd rather see the campaign succeed than fail, .

[hilariousandco]

His feedback looks like he cheated Howzer's deal too, but I think there were a few other members who didn't get what they were owed either. Op should publicly clarify certain things and if in fact the reason why Rigon wasn't paid was because of above.

Well, you asked in the beginning and I asked later on because he seemed to get busier every day. I can understand that he denied your request, since he was able to handle it back then. Will see what happens

Wow you're willing to run a campaign for free?  That's pure charity!
