Topic: Paying $50 for simple but time-consuming task (3-10 hours of work) - page 2. (Read 1678 times)

Yes this sucks for the people not willing to go that low but why try to stop them? If I had a job to get done i'd take the cheapest offer myself. Are you against a free market?

I know a bunch of countries where you can live an entire month with just $35.

Just drop me a message and i will do it for you, but be sure to escrow the funds first. Cause i dont trust nebies.

Im new here and mainly i have just browsed reading threads, but i see this type of thing all over the forum when it comes to services being offered.

Is it always someone on an alt account looking to get the price of the work offered lowered? Seems to me it could also be users from poor countries offering lowball rates to get the work as money stretches further for them then people in richer countries. Either way its total crap in my opinion.

If you live in a poor country why wouldnt you want to make as much money as you can? You shouldnt drastically underbid others to grab the workthus driving the price down for future work being offered. Sure its survival of the fittest but why work youyr asses off for pennies? As for users using alt accounts for driving down the price, Why make the offer in the first post, if youre just gonna try to get it lowered yourselves?

why does this look like an alt a/c trying to get the lowest bid...$35 really

Dude ! Don't undercut like that you not helping anyone including yourself. You just gonna bring down future payment offers.

I'll do it if the job is still open

this topic is probably a repost of a previous topic, here, for anyone may concern:

interested...but a bit risky to work with a newbie

I was really interested in taking up this offer but it seems like someone else already took the job  

Anyways, if the job is still up, I'll be glad to take you up on your offer with the price you said.

people will be more interested if you escrow the fund first, you m,ight check this one, the list of escrow service here   https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcointalk-escrows-trade-safely-855778
Good luck for you

Obviously it has to be escrow.   In theory I'd be willing to pay for someone to climb the eiffel tower and put a pirate flag at the top, in practise I probably wouldn't stick around to deal with the security response to such a thing and so the payment would never be given.  
Your task seems fine but really for the sake of simplicity you need to have a recognised 3rd party ready to pay on reasonable completion of the job, theres always some small print catch.

If you decide on escrow let me know as I may already have all the music ready

Put the money on the escrow
It risky to work with newbie

If you have main account with hugher rank, just use it maybe people will more trust you

I can make this job for you too. But you have to accept using escrow.

Let me get this summed up; ~ 300 artists, 10 songs per artist in a folder, song names in folder only. zip it up and send it to you.
If there are issues, they need to be fixed.

I can do it if you are willing to send the money first. I can even do it for 40$, so that you can spend those 10$ on some beers
Send me PM if ure interested.

Willing to do it for 35$

I'll let you know if I can't find anyone doing this for cheaper.

I can do this for 70$ Btc and with use of escrow.

I have list of ~300-310 music artists in txt. You have to go to their last.fm page and find all top 10 most listened songs of their. (Top 10 songs are very convinirntly listed in the artist pages, you don't have to look much)

Then you have to download these 10 songs. These can only be mp3 and be of quality equal or higher than 192kbps. (It can be 128kbps if you download them from YouTube as last resort).

When it comes to finding songs you can torrent the Discography of the artist and choose only the top 10 songs to download. (If you use uTorrent you have ability to choose only the files you want to download from the whole torrent when you add the torrent. You have to pick only 10 MP3s from the torrent by ticking the box next to them. It's not hard at all).

These artists should be easy to find. If you can't find them anywhere then you can rip their mp3 from YouTube videos. (Use something like http://www.youtube-mp3.org/ )
You can use YouTube most viewed sorting instead of last.fm for these.

Each artist should get it's own folder (folder name is the name of the artist) and folder should contain mp3s with song's name as a filename. (No album folders or anything of such, only mp3s). Filename should be properly written and first letter capitalized. Filename can only be the specific song's name, nothing else.

After you get all the MP3s you have to let me download it. You can either host it as torrent, host it in HTTP or FTP, or anywhere else as long as I can download it at speeds of 4Mbits (500Kbytes+) or higher.
You have to ZIP or RAR these MP3s to single compressed file and host it like that.

I imagine that this task can be accomplished in 5 hours if you are efficient with your time.

Paying $50 BTC. PM me.
I will not go first. I will not pay unless your files meet my specifications specified above. If you get something like folders, filenames, quality, file formats, artists, songs wrong then I will ask you to fix them and I will NOT pay you until you fix it all.

I'll hire you later again if you do a good job and pay you much higher rates.

Free artists only, nothing illegal here.
