Archived Proposals / Re: Recurring Expenses - BLOOM Sponsorships

« on: August 12, 2018, 10:08:45 AM »

Hi April,

Thanks so much for the update! Absolutely marvelous work.

I will vote in favor of this proposal, but looking at the crypto-markets and BiblePay's current position in them, I would personally suggest caution in requesting sponsorship for more children. I don't know that the coming months will bring, but I would hate to see it happen that BiblePay can't afford to sponsor some of the children anymore and they will have to be dropped.

Nice work. I agree that the google clicks are a bit expensive, but I like that we got 300+ followers extra with Twitter.

If you need a design: let me know what you're looking for and I'll see what I can do.
Also: if I can do anything in terms of proving ownership of the website, just let me know!

I think that we must strive to be able to pay at minimum the premiums for one month every month, so I'm in favor of this proposal.

Of course, the prepayments are a protection measure for if we run into really meager times, buy let's hope we won't have to use this protection measure.

« on: August 12, 2018, 09:52:52 AM »

So, CoinExchange.io is paid. We didn't have enough budget, so I paid partly with my own BTC (and Rob requested extra funds this month).

The address below is still the Funds deposit address. The 'total received' is the only accurate number there (because of change-addresses and because I've paid the exchanges from my own BTC-account. But as you can see we're about 0.5 BTC in deficit as of now, so I'll be using the New Exchange Fund earnings first to close that gap before we can build up BTC again.

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/3AojspQgpSSDdPJJANj4UtSBFUZy8YdduT

I've also made a spreadsheet which I'll update from time to time:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1A0ZUlpMaw7pZ5YQEiLN7WoqZP1bq5VOcEZGzMS8KWlw/edit#gid=0

The total amount between the BTC deposit address and the 'total BTC received' in the spreadsheet are a little off because of transfer fees. The deposit address shows what is actually left in the end

I still need to sell 300k+ BBP this month btw.

Anyway. I think that the best way to proceed from here is that I keep sending BTC to the  Funds deposit address until we hit 3 BTC (the fees of CryptoBridge and CoinExchance.io combined), and after that I'll start a new Fund deposit address.

I must say that I really like the design of your images! The one thing I have some feedback on, is that I would have loved seeing the BiblePay name on those images. The logo is also fine of course, but if someone runs into that image and doesn't know it's our logo, they will never look for us. I tried to love Gimp in the past, but I always revert back to Photoshop. Would you by any change consider adjusting those images with the BiblePay name?

Aside from that, I can definitely use those on the website I think. Are those images copyright-free?

As for the rest: great work on the wallet and social group. Glad that you're around

UPDATE: They just copy pasted same response to me... so basically we are banned from advertising on Twitter now... I spent $25 already, we can just vote no on this proposal now

Strange. Do you think we can get more information somehow? Because their reply isn't really helpful...

I was abroad with very little internet this past month, so I had very little time to check the exchanges. I see that the price has dropped and some of my orders didn't trigger.

I just got back today. I will now check to see if we can get to 2 BTC as fast as we can

I think that it's worth it to get some more exposure in China. We've got QIEX, the whitepaper, and I think that this will be a nice add-on to get new investors onboard.

Archived Proposals / Re: Compensation for Jaap's work with BiblePay

« on: July 12, 2018, 07:54:13 AM »

Hi everyone,

I'm going abroad for a couple of weeks (with probably very little internet), so I'm not going to do much more work for BiblePay this month.

So here is my proposal for the work I've done on the website from the 20th of June untill today.

Pre-migration:
8 hours: rewriting, adding articles, editing links, etc.

Migration:
16 hours: migrating website and implementing SEO, google analytics, cache, CDN, backups, etc.

Post-migration (until 12-07-2018):
7 hours: (implementing feedback, making final adjustments/implementations, writing articles.

The website is just about finished. So from here on it will probably mostly be a little maintenance and writing articles.

I'm giving myself a little raise because, frankly, I think that I've provided quality work to the community. I think that it's fair to ask the same amount that Togo does. So from now on I'll ask $20/hour. As said before: I don't ask money for guiding charities and helping the community etc, just the things that I really consider 'work'.

Currently, the price hovers around $0,0019/BBP
(31 X 20) / 0.0019 = 326316 BBP

Hi all,

I want to request funds to be able to buy premium-editions of the following two Wordpress plugins:

Yoast SEO: This is an SEO-plugin for wordpress. The free version is already installed, and is primarily used to improve our position in page-ranking (which basically means that search engines will show our website sooner than others). The premium version will add more (much needed) functionality and will enables us to give our website more exposure. It costs €79 ex vat. But since we're not incorporated yes, I'll buy it as a consumer and it will cost me €95.59.

The Newsletter Plugin. This is a plugin we use for our alerts and newsletter. Buying the premium-version will allow us to automate processes, get analytics, and add a nice 'sign up' bar to the footer (or as a pop-up), which will - hopefully - result in more people signing up. This plugin costs €49 incl vat.

That totals €144,59. Current BBP price hovers around 0.00000030 BTC which is about 0,0016 EURO. That would make 90368,75 BBP.

I hope that people can see the value of adding these two premium plugins.

Archived Proposals / Re: Proposal idea: airdrop

« on: July 12, 2018, 06:22:55 AM »

I've decided to go ahead and ask for preliminary funds for this. We can work out the exact details of the airdrop later on, but I feel that we're pretty far in the process.

My plan at the moment is:
Securing funds (750$ in ETH) to get exposure on airdropalert.com (and all of their social channels). I think that it is important to get exposure for the airdrop. Airdropalert.com is the largest entity listing these kind of things, and smaller entities are largely leaching off of them, so getting exposure on there I think means getting exposure along a wide spread of airdrop-listing entities.

I think that the feedback that LifeThruGrace gave is very valuable, and the last thing I would want to, is to throw away BBP. So it's probably best to include the need to subscribe to a special 'BiblePay-Airdrop' Telegram group. Telegram is linked to your telephone-number, so adding this will reduce the ability to game the system.

I'd rather not do this, because I would also like to appeal to crowds outside of the normal airdrop clique (who use Telegram in masses, because it's often an requisite for an airdrop), but maybe it's for the best.

I would like to request 1M BBP. Which is about 2000 dollars. And I want to use this money to get exposure and get a first 'batch' of airdroppers on board. We can then review the data and see if we want to prolong the airdrop (I can ask for budget each month).

Let's say that we can get 50 long-term Miners on board each month because of the airdrop. I think that would be very much worth it.

The beauty is that we can check the data and see what airdroppers do after receiving the airdrop (selling everything or continue to mine).

I think that the P2P budget is best suited for this (although it could also be PR).

If most people think that 10.000 BBP is too much, I'll gladly slash it in half I'm open for all feedback.
