There still has been no response to my PayPal dispute. Today is the deadline for response. It will be interesting to see what PayPal does now.

Seems the payments are back up and running now.  Most functionality appears to be working.

My campaign is off and racing.. Thanks guys

Erik and Ira has not abandoned this project they are just very busy.
Ira is currently working on fixing the site and getting a replacement developer for himself to continue the development of the site

Damn, I wish I had found this thread first..

Just funded a campaign and obviously no payment confirmation has appeared!

Is there any update on where things are at?  Happy to receive a refund if the site is no longer being maintained.

I thought any service that Evoorhees had put his name to would be pretty trustworthy..  lets hope this mess gets cleaned up.

almost @ 2 months deadtime.

Perhaps you need to hire an administrator for this site?
2600 coins received from the IPO should help you

Can someone PLEASE fix FeedZeBirds!

I made campaigns and sent a total of 5 payments now and nothing is being activated.

FIXXXXX ITTTT!!!  Your service is a staple to online marketing.

Using or not using an alert, doesn't explain why there has been no response to my PayPal dispute. No response as of an hour ago, the last time I checked.

I use a Google alert ( http://www.google.com/alerts?hl=en ) looking for "Shire Silver" to help find places where people talk about my stuff, and I'd bet Erik and Ira do something similar. If that's true, maybe the filter missed this thread due to the spaces in Feed Ze Birds in the thread title.

Still no response to my Paypal dispute.

Haha, both Erik and Ira are busy people ^^
Good thing they have a forum lurker like me to keep track of all the threads

niiice nice
We made you respond finally.. Glad to hear this.

I will test fund a campaign in one two days with the equivalent of 1-2 usd - to see if the btc goes in and I get a campaign this time ....

Will also check to see if my FZB online account gets credited / or btc returned to me...

Sorry about the delay! As Erik said, we're really busy, and I haven't had as much time to dedicate to FZB as I'd like. The server was rebooted without notifying me, and it needed permission to restart the wallet. I did so, and it is catching up again. Should be back to normal soon.

Hi,

Sorry hadn't seen this thread.

To clarify - FZB is a project by myself and Ira Miller (Bearbones). We both also work for BitInstant here in NYC.

If any responses have been unanswered, I apologize, it's just a case of too much going on. I asked Ira to check on the Paypal issue and will follow up with him on it today. For any issues with FZB, you're welcome to PM me here on the forum. Ira is usually too busy working to be on the forum much but like myself, he's doing Bitcoin stuff roughly 25 hrs per day.

Thanks for your patience and mc_lovin I'll follow up with you in the PM.

I have messaged evoorhees weekly about this, I made a couple campaigns which never got funded (not out very much though).

Every once in awhile I inform him of how many days the site has been dead for.  He keeps forwarding my messages to "customer support" which there is no response from.

The last successfully posted campaign was on Aug. 5th.  If you look at their Twitter page, you can see the most recent tweets.  Those three that were posted on the 21st of August are not valid, I have no idea where those came from but the links don't go anywhere.

Imagine how ticked off a person would be if they invested in FeedZeBirds' IPO!  They sold 2600 BTC worth of shares that day, and I guess put the website on cruise control and went to work on other projects.  

I could only imagine how busy these guys are, being involved with SatoshiDice, Bitcoin Magazine, and assumed other projects, but I have done everything in my power to inform him about this.  I count 8 messages sent to him regarding it.  

RIP FeedZeBirds, missing you!  47 days dead and counting..  

edit: here's their GLBSE ticker, I guess they arn't doing too bad considering.  Might be an opporntunity to buy shares at a discount.

edit #2: AHA!  Feed Ze Birds has gone to the bears!!  Looking at their GLBSE announcement thread I linked to above shows that this is a joint effort between evoorhees and bearbones.


Last successful FZB tweet, August 5th, bearbones awol on August 10th?  I suspect hibernating.  In bearbones' profile he links to his homepage, which is also offline. 

Mystery solved, don't blame evoorhees, blame...


DA BEARS

Seriously though, anyone know bearbones personally?  The guy could be either evil or dead, it's a bit concerning IMHO.

Still no,response.

the owner of SatoshiDice is involved in the project - I wonder why is he no more caring for FZB ?

I wrote him  a PM. Nothing...

Still no response to my efforts including my PayPal complaint. I sure recommend everyone stay away from this site.

still no answer.

Yesterday I filed a complaint with PayPal to get my five dollars back. It's only been about a half a day but so far no response.
