Topic: [PRIZE] - Best Bitcoin Tool - 0.10btc for the winner (Read 1711 times)

Hi, we have decided to hold a vote now.  Extending the contest would be unfair to those who have entered already.  You can now vote in the thread below

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=382324.new#new

So, when is the vote going to start? where?
there is a winner already maybe? going to extend the contest?

Well spotted!  Thanks for the tip 

We may do another one very soon, and we will include your submission by default.  If its fantastic we will compensate you some btc as goodwill.  Sounds like you have been hard at work on it!  

Due to work I wasn't able to finish my submission in time for this. I will be listing it on the site though. Guess someone just made out some quick BTC with this. :-)

I'm sure you know about the bug on the live preview system.
The problem is that you are calling HTTP websites from and HTTPS which is not permitted by the HTTPS security system.
If you are using apache just make a new virtual host listening on the 80 and serve the live previews from HTTP instead of HTTPS.

Thank-you, the item is now live again 

Just sent the mail with the update and updated the wesite so it is back up working.

Sure no worries.  Just send the zip via email and we will update it.  We have put it on hold temporarily just in-case somebody tries to purchase it.

Can I update the source file?, I need to update my tool since it uses a third party service and suddenly it stopped working today.

Thankyou and submitted!

That is 3 apps so far.  The odds are looking good

I just submitted this web application.

Hi takagari, I understand this may look like this, but please let me explain...

This isn't like a logo/website competition where the losers will get nothing.  Each app a user uploads, they earn Bitcoin on EVERY sale thereafter.   If its good enough, someone will buy it.

The great thing about crypto-currency is that we can give the author a fair price.   We believe in giving a fair price back to the creators for their hard work.  80% of the sale is given back to author, something other websites cannot offer.   20% is left to the website to cover server costs and to help the business grow. Infact, 5% of the sites profits is added to a bounty fund to encourage authors to submit items and fuel the marketplace.

Now lets look at some other marketplaces...

Envato - They pay out anywhere between 33%-70%  and to hit 70% you need to have a total of $75,000+ in sales.
WPBootstrap - They range between 35%-75%, with 35% if you sell it anywhere else.

We pay people in Bitcoin and provide a service.  Our members this week alone has gone from 50 to 98.  We are growing but need good content, hence this competition.  I do not have unlimited funds to throw away, so I am offering what I can.  We do not own the item the user uploads, we sell it on our platform and give them Bitcoin for it.  

Seem's like a way to get a bunch of app's on you site and only pay out 85$?

Intriguing!  looking forward to seeing this 

I'll be submitting soon. A Windows application.

2nd entry submitted!  Although available in the wordpress repo [author verified], we will let this slide.

Yes, the idea behind the competition is to encourage more submissions to the marketplace.

We figure by having more items will attract more users, and by more users..well you get the idea!  The item doesn't have to a paid one, you can submit as a free file, if that's your thing.  But the terms for the competition is submitting the item via our platform. 

Do we have to sell our code through your platform to compete?
