You can wait for the BTC price to rise to $2k, or just take the bonus and do it now.

Reserving e94.

I would be happy to write transcripts. How do I get started?

Yay! Catching up within a month! I'd love to see this happening!
As an Extra-Incentive, I'll chip in another 0.025 for all transcriptions which will be submitted (and, obviously, accepted) from NOW until 2014-06-06!
Keep up the good work, all of you!

Major changes today, which go into effect immediately (but, of course, do not apply retroactively):
*As you can tell by the thread title, the project's open again. We'd like to get caught up with the queue ASAP, with a goal of being completely up-to-date within a month. At that time, there's a fair possibility that this project will end, though there may be a few more episodes to do until negotiations are finished.
*Potential transcribers must reserve an episode, then transcribe the first five audio minutes - and only the first five audio minutes. Then, submit the transcript link to me through PM, NOT in this thread. It will only pay .005BTC (after being proofread, which shouldn't take me long at all). If the transcript takes only a short time for me to proofread, you'll have permission to transcribe the rest of the episode for .075BTC (excluding the previous .005BTC payment).
*If you're approved, you can then reserve full episodes after you finish that transcription without having to have the first five audio-minutes green-lit, but these will still only pay .075BTC/transcript.
*If you're not approved, you will still receive the .005BTC, but not allowed to reserve any future episodes nor be paid the .075BTC for the one you started.

The preceding does not apply to already-approved transcribers. However, this applies to all episodes reserved after today:
*The decaying payment mechanism is back in effect, though a good bit looser than last time. From now on, when an episode is reserved, you have 72 hours to submit it. After that period of time, .005BTC will be deducted at the start of every 24 hour period which elapses. (Obviously, you wouldn't be deducted .2BTC for submitting four days after reserving, only .05BTC) For new transcribers, that 72h period will not start until you're green-lit to finish transcribing the episode you reserved.

The end goal is to dramatically reduce the amount in which this project is to be subsidized and move to a model where reader tips bring in at least half of the pay for transcripts. This would coincide (ideally) with transcripts and a tip address (or a %split from the overall episode tip address) being integrated into the LTB website, but we must be up-to-date, first. This will likely push the viability of working as a transcriptionist for pay to low-wage nations. I wouldn't expect pay exceeding $30/episode, and likely, only ~half of that will be paid up-front, while the rest will trickle in as tips.

I realized today that all Scribd documents are marked as having a "traditional copyright" claim. As far as I know, that is false. I'm pretty sure neither qwk nor Adam ever requested an IP claim on them, and I obviously have no claim on them. I was a bit unclear about this in an earlier OP edit -- it would be ideologically disagreeable for someone to post transcripts behind some kind of paywall, but there are no legal restrictions against such an act. I'll start sloooowly changing the copyright allegations on Scribd one by one.

Payment received for Episode 76

Thanks

Received payment for E35.

I shall be inactive for some time , got IRL stuff going on.
