Many websites dealing in BTC have low-quality, sometimes nearly illegible English stemming from rushed text, usually written by a non-native speaker. Due to Bitcoin entrepreneurs originating from all around the world, this is becoming increasingly common. Many do not realize how deleterious this can be, both to the service operators and to the Bitcoin community as a whole. Sales may increase dramatically after a proper proofreading. I am offering this service.

I am not, nor do I claim to be, a professional. I have neither qualifications in editing nor proofreading. I lack degrees in any field remotely similar to the English language. Indeed, English is not even my native language. However, I still have the skills necessary to convert mangled or incoherent babble to professional, easily understandable, and succinct prose.

I offer proofreading for any English text related to a Bitcoin business. I am not an expert; therefore, a website should not rely on me to produce professional-grade services. My motivation to provide this service mainly consists of irritation with the oft-degenerate English used in most Bitcoin websites today, combined with a goal of increasing Bitcoin's perceived professionalism.

In line with this motivation, I demand the lowest possible payment: 0.00000000 BTC. Similar to the IBB (a venture that I respect and wholeheartedly support), I will also accept (but not demand) gratuities. I believe this payment model most conductive to collective strengthening of the Bitcoin community.

Please PM me if your website is interested in this service. If you wish to comment on the feasibility of this plan, spread FUD about this service, or advertise competing services, please feel free to do so in this thread. However, please remain on topic; discuss only topics relating to proofreading and improvement of written language.

Prerequisites: There are a few requirements for using this service.
  • The client must have a public website that advertises or sells a Bitcoin-related service.
  • The website must be in English and must target an English-speaking audience.
