★ LuckyBit Bitcoin Talk Affiliate Program ★ [CLOSED]

[Watoshi-Dimobuto]

Change of plan, folks.

It's taking longer than expected for the site to come up which means it's basically impossible to apply right now. Since this is the case, it only makes sense for me to close the program to new enrollments until this is all cleared up.

All outstanding applications are invalidated. No new applications will be accepted at this time.
Everyone will get a fair chance to enroll once I can re-open - at last word, this is expected to be about 3 days away.

Prior enrollments are not affected.

k, right. Removing my signature then.

Can we consider this announcement are telling us Luckyb.it won't be back in a short time?

Luckyb.it is one of my favorite gambling sites, sad to see it still outline.

The admins are aiming to be back online by wednesday.

That's not what stingleword has told me in a PM about the signature campaign:

I will re-open once Lucky Bit is restored; this is expected to be on Thursday.

Probably their aim is to be back by Wednesday, but they expect it to be online by Thursday.

3 days away is Friday. Has the expected time of restarting been pushed back again?

Sorry, I've been on the road all day. A friend's car broke down last night (again!) and I'm the chauffeur.
I was reviewing your post history when the forum went down. Sorry about that.

Says the guy that harassed me with PMs for days. I'm honored that you consider me important enough to attempt to troll a second time.

Two other enrollments received the automatic extension today, namely Gyfts and TheNewAnon135246. Both of you are just a couple posts short, and you have one more day.

thanks alot sting!

will most likely re-enroll when the site is back up 

[Chemistry1988]

Just to make sure I got it right, stingleword you will make a post in this thread to officially re-open the enrollment after LB is back to live, right?

Of course I will do that, and update the main thread information at the same time.

Why you guys kick people after payment? Having to re-enroll every month is a pain in the ass. If the poster is doing a good work and posting normally, why the need to re-apply?

So it's fair. How else would newcomers get in otherwise? If you wanted to join now you likely wouldn't be able to under your suggested rules. I think most campaigns - especially the fixed rate ones - are run on a month-by-month basis where you have to re-enroll anyway.

GAW miners made you reenroll every month, however your spot was saved for several days for you to have time to reenroll. EvilPanda also did not have crazy rules regarding the max amount of time allowed between posts.

My understanding is that most other fixed rate deals are run the same way

I don't feel that I should have to state this by now, but since it's been a recurring theme for, well, months:

This campaign is different from the others, and intentionally so.

Any fly-by-night operation can pay for signatures, and not care what content they are attached to. That's simply not how I do things; while many people seem to expect a "minimum standard" around here, I prefer to operate with actual integrity and not just do what's necessary to meet expectations. The unique operation of this campaign is supposed to call attention to that fact.

I've gone above and beyond the call of duty for Lucky Bit over these months, ensuring that good advertisers are appropriately compensated and treated justly, while protecting Lucky Bit from wasting money on spammers. Maybe the 'other guys' don't care about alt accounts and signature farming, but I do. The Lucky Bit brand has represented trustworthy, unique, and reliable service in an industry plagued with fly-by-night scam operations, ponzi "doubler" schemes, and gone-in-a-day clones. The Lucky Bit signature campaign reflects this spirit by doing what the 'other guys' don't.

If you want to just get paid for posting, there are lots of signature campaigns. If you want to advertise for a trusted, reliable brand that is well-respected and known for its quality service - you are in the right place (or rather, will be once the game comes back online).

I wouldn't call the GAW campaign a fly-by-night signature campaign. It was very well run by EvilPanda almost twice as long as this campaign has been running so far.

The practice of forcing people to have to race to sign back up when they receive payment is no way to treat your employees/vendors/suppliers/advertisers. This is project management 101 that you treat this class of people you work with fairly and allow them a fair opportunity to earn a steady income. If they are racing to sign up again you are depriving them of the ability to earn a steady income.

Anytime a company treats the above class of people good the company will benefit and when a company treats the above class of people poorly the company will suffer, both over the long term

I wasn't referring to other campaigns, I was referring to what they advertise. Like I said, any fly-by-night operation can pay for signatures - just because the signature campaign pays doesn't make the product or advertiser trustworthy and you bring up a prime example. I thought that was clear since my entire post was about reflecting the reputation of Lucky Bit through the campaign's (arguably difficult) system. This campaign is as different from its competition as Lucky Bit is to its competition.

Signature enrollments are not employees and there has never been a promise of steady income. This is not a job opening for people simply looking to get paid to advertise. I have repeatedly stressed this fact throughout the campaign. I re-iterate: if you just want to get paid for posting, there are lots of signature campaigns.

Updating FAQ since this is the n^th time I've had to address it.

With a closed enrollment , it means everyone must re-enroll & re-bet to join this campaign after the site is up ?
or someone that have enroll early can join the campaign ?

The competition will be tight and it is not easy to grab this lucky spot

People that were already enrolled prior to the downtime, but haven't completed their enrollment yet, are unaffected. Applications submitted after the downtime have been invalidated and all openings are closed until the site is restored.

Once the site is running, slots will be re-opened. I'm not 100% on this yet but I'm fairly settled on adjusting the campaign to 18 Senior, 10 Full slots (from 15 and 15). If this adjustment is made, it will happen when the campaign is re-opened.
