[CLOSED] Earn BTC for unghosting craigslist ads

[dacoinminster]

This gig is now closed. Original posting is below.

I do a LOT of business on craigslist, and even though my ads aren't spam, I have posted so many ads that my IP address is now perma-ghosted (anything I post pretends to be live, but doesn't show up in search results).

My ads only rarely get flagged, but I need some people who can "unghost" my ads by posting them from a clean IP address and dummy email account. If they later get flagged, that's my problem. You just get paid to get them up.

What you will need:

1) An IP address that hasn't been banned by Craigslist (that rules out ALL public proxies, and possibly most non-US IP addresses)
2) A U.S. phone number (for anyone posting more than just a couple ads)
3) Ability to create a dummy email address for the sole purpose of forwarding emails to me
4) Enough common sense to not discuss the ads here (that will just get them flagged)
5) Basic familiarity with craigslist, computers, and bitcoin

I will provide you with:
Text ads for you to post
Bitcoins, at $0.33 USD rate per ad posted (according to the current MtGox exchange rate at the time of payment)

Are you the guy all over craigslist offering to pay for the use of video cards?

[dacoinminster]

Are you the guy all over craigslist offering to pay for the use of video cards?

It's not nearly as profitable as you might think. It's surprisingly hard to get people to install software from a random stranger they found on a craigslist ad

Still, ever the optimist, I'm willing to spend a few BTC to keep trying.

If anybody wants to discuss particular craigslist ads, mine or otherwise, please start a new thread. I would like this thread to be mostly bids so that people wanting this service can find workers quickly.

[lulzplzkthx]

How many ads are there to do?

I'm willing to do it for $.15 - $.35 USD per ad (the BTC equivalent, that is.)

[dacoinminster]

How many ads are there to do?

I'm willing to do it for .05 - .10 BTC per ad.

I'm going to do a few and see how this goes. I have posted hundreds in the past, and may do so again.

Please post prices in USD, so this thread will still have meaningful prices a month from now.

[grue]

Why do you have to come from the US? I'm from canada, and craigslist works fine from here. oh, and i'll post for $0.10 per ad.

Canada should be fine. I'll send you a PM shortly.

I'm just trying to warn that Nigerian IP addresses and the like probably won't work for this

I'm already getting people started on this. I'm guessing people will update their prices once they get a feeling for how easy/hard this is.

how hard could it be lol

captcha is hard

[Reiku]

Hi, I'd be interested in this. Newbie to BTC so I'd take $0.10USD per ad.

[Ryland R. Taylor-Almanza]

I'll do it for $.10 per ad as well.

[dacoinminster]

I'm now officially paying $1USD for every three ads posted (33.3 cents per post). This is retroactive for all posts you guys have done already.

I'm having trouble accessing bitcoin.org right now, so I apologize if I am slow to respond to PMs.

Everyone who has posted offers above is either posting ads for me, or is getting started on it.

[Insuremeplz]

I would also be willing to help. I live in the US and have multiple IP addresses available. Let me know.

[enmaku]

I'll help out also, let me know.

[Jd]

I'm interested, please PM me 

[Gaius]

Sent a PM.

[dacoinminster]

Everybody who has posted here or has sent me a PM is either posting or getting set up to do so.

Please note that if you have trouble finding cities to post in that don't already have my ad, just wait a few days and look again. If I ever decide to stop paying for ads, I will post notice here.

Do you actually get many people hosting gpu's for you ?

[dacoinminster]

Do you actually get many people hosting gpu's for you ?

Sadly, no. The level of trust people have in Craigslist spam asking them to install some random guy's software on their PC is shockingly low

Still, I am refining my pitch and hoping for the best.

[RonnieP]

I'm in if you are still offering. I have several IP addresses available. I live in southern California. PM me

[woodypower]

Hallo.
I'm from Denmark and i would like to post for you. Got 5+ ip's to try on. 

[jacks]

Hi there. From Canada. Send me a PM.

[bitjet]

Dude... why don't you just use TOR???

[dacoinminster]

Dude... why don't you just use TOR???

Here, let me google that for you: http://www.google.com/search?q=craigslist+tor+ip

Thanks for the ads guys. Keep them coming!

[Clipse]

lol bitcoin mining is starting to look and sound alot more like crack addiction going by the way people are trying to get their fix

[minerops]

will work for BTC, I am in the US and have a phone as well as several IP's and dummy emails... let me know if you're still looking for help

[opticbit]

I saw your CL post the other day.  Have you looked at BlackHatWorld, WarriorForum, or DP for CL posters?
I'd do it, but I forget what I did with my CL add bot, and don't have many (only have 3 or 4) CL verified accts.
I'm in Mountain View.

Are you the guy all over craigslist offering to pay for the use of video cards?

Ive spoken with this guy. From what he tells me is that hes running some other distributive project that is not bitcoin. his plan works that you buy the card, and bassed on performace he will send you money. Kinda scamy

I think what I probably said to you is what I say to everyone who asks me if I am mining bitcoins:

I've lost several workers to bitcoin mining lately; apparently it is quite profitable right now.

Anybody who already knows about bitcoins is of no use to me. People who don't know about bitcoins are of almost no use because it is astoundingly hard to get someone to install software from random stranger on craigslist.

All the folks above are in various stages of posting and getting paid. Thanks everyone!

[godofal]

i live in the netherlands, so no US phone nr
but i can post ads for you, i could even try dutch sites (like a dutch version of ebay) if you want

send me a message if you're interested

[Tronlet]

USA IP address here, I'll do as many as you can lay on me, got plenty of free time and I'm available most hours of the day.

Willing to be paid 0.10 USD for each ad if you want to lower the price, otherwise I'm definitely fine with sticking with your 0.33.

[dacoinminster]

I'm still paying 0.33 USD because it can be hard to find cities without my ad in them

I might be interested, shoot me a PM with current information/rate/where you need the ads.

[bal3wolf]

I might be interested and im in kentucky and my isp i can change my ip at random by spoofing a new mac in my router msg me the details and what you pay.

[mautobu]

I would suggest THIS. An SSH tunnel through a VPS. I will set it up for you if:

- You purchase a VPS from lightfoot or other VPS for BTC distributor
- I am paid 5 BTC

You will then be able to post your own ads until that IP is blacklisted, in which case I suggest moving to a new VPS, or asking your host to change the IP.

Thanks for the offer. My current system seems to be working quite well.

I'll take this opportunity to mention that people are still being paid to do this, and many ads have expired recently, so there are lots of cities needing an ad at the moment.

[Tronlet]

Btw, I'd suggest asking a moderator to move this so you get more exposure.

[zellfaze]

I'm available for this.  I have an IP in the U.S.   I also have access to an IP in Sweden.

Edit:
Didn't look at the last post time.  Didn't mean to res this topic.  I'll PM the OP.

Just got this PM today:

Are you still doing those Craigslist ads?

I am still paying people for this service. I will post in this thread if I ever stop. Note that a U.S. or Canadian phone number is required.

[Binford 6100]

would you do it yourself if I just provide you with a proxy server account?
ofc .20 $/ad would be enough if you you do the work, I'd focus on the counting ; )
what turned me off is the software thing and difficult captcha

No, I don't have time. That's why I pay others to do it!

This is still going, obviously, for anybody else looking to make some BTC.
