I imagine it's a lot of work running a signature campaign successfully. It's probably like a part-time job in itself. If op wants to lower the workload I suggest a similar model to PrimeDice ie you don't have to confirm individual users or workout how much you owe people as they just sign up and claim with a PM at the end of the month and you quickly verify this. That way everybody knows what they're getting and then there's no complaints. Automatic payouts are great if they are actually automatic like they were with Ritz, but clearly they're not here.
I have send him an proposal in which I state that I would takeover his campaign to reduce workload. I will post the proposal here as well, so that you all can see what I send him. I have nothing to hide (well, except personal information).
Hello UpDown.BT,
I know that you are getting a lot of private messages and I can understand if you ignore this message. I won't blame you at all. It's more than understandable.
If you are still reading this, I would like propose something to you. I know that you are really busy with your website and personal life and I could help you with this by taking over your campaign. I know the last one wasn't a big success, but you can checkout my trust rating and check my posts. I have always been fairly active and my reputation is quite good if you ask me.
A bit about me:
I am Mitchell, a 20 year old IT student which started Bitcoin almost one year ago. I have invested a lot of time in it and on this forum, as you can see on this screenshot:
In my Bitcoin life I have met a few amazing people, including NewLiberty (The creator of the New Liberty Dollar and Cold Hard Cash), Rassah (one of the members of Mycelium), Moe (organizer of multiple Bitcoin Conferences) and many other amazing people. I'm have also taken over the Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns Overview from Rannasha, which I try to keep up to date at all times.
Proposal:
Were you to allow me to take over your campaign I would promise (and even sign a contract) that I will act responsibly, within the rules you would provide me and that I won't run away with the money (we could use escrow if you want). All funds would be put into one address, which I would sign to proof that I have control of these funds and show that to the campaign members as well. This allows you (and them) to keep an eye on how the funds are spend. The funds itself will be stored on a paper wallet in a safe place. That way they won't be exposed to hacking attempts.
Me running the campaign would have some advantages as well. Since I have more time to checkout the campaign members and their posts I would be able to do weekly/bi-weekly payments instead of monthly payments. This would make campaign members extremely happy and attract more new members (if that is still needed). I would also be able to quickly respond to changes, new signups and questions. All positive points in my opinion.
I can imagine that you are wondering what I want in return. Well, to be honest, nothing. I might ask for a small donation when I get extremely busy and it starts to consume a lot of my free time, but that's about it. If you think a reward/payment should be done I won't deny it, but at this moment I don't care if I get paid or not. I just want to help out a little.
That's it for now, I suppose. If you have any other questions you would like to ask me, please do ask. I will be awaiting your response (or not if you are ignoring this private message, which is fine as well).
Kind Regards,
Mitchell
