Congratz to all the winners!
No worries, coz we are very likely to remove or lower the bitcointalk activity requirements on similar contests.
I don't like it when people ask to keep your avatar till they receive the payment. so if they remove it they don't get paid you ask us to do but can't say anything about payment. All parties want there payment like all people wherever you are promoting your product. if you want an promotion in a newspaper and you didn't pay before the release they also don't press your article.
And this isn't a free promotion you have to invest before you get anything.
Understand that we could have released the payments in phases, like every 3 days or so, but the issue was that it will not allow players to edit their posts even if they get a better entry in the future, and even if there was a rule against editing, most will edit. Since there was a good number of requests if the player could change the bet ID posted or username we decided to take the posts as it is on the deadline.
1. You are free to choose to participate or not participate in this promotion.
2.
You are free to choose whether you want to wear a signature/avatar and receive a bonus or not.3. You are free to decide whether you want to change your options before the deadline.
4. You are free to edit your posts, delete your posts, etc. etc.
I don't see your point - do you get paid more than 0.005 for wearing a certain avatar for say 8 days? If yes, which is quite unlikely, why did you opt for the bonus? If not, aren't you getting more than you would have otherwise? Anyway, it wouldn't honestly make sense to encourage people to wear PD avatar for one day lol.
The 0.01 BTC part is free, the bonus is for those who like to or already wear PD avatar and signature. If you don't want to/like it, don't. There is absolutely no pressure to.
As I mentioned, this promotion is a combined effort from myself, hui, MICRO, and of course the admins Edward and Stunna. It is very unlikely that everyone will be free and available at the same point of time to work on this promotion especially considering that almost all of us are in different time zones. All the other staff have other duties to take care of.
And you could just enter like 1 hour before the deadline, wear the sig and avatar for a while and get the full payment.
Thanks
Jerry
