read.cash is a platform where you could earn money (total earned by users so far: $ 816,482.51).
You could get tips for writing articles and comments, which are paid in Bitcoin Cash (BCH) cryptocurrency,
which can be spent on the Internet or converted to your local money.
This is a limitation of the current technology + Bitcoin Cash protocol where a campaign can only accept a limited number of pledges. The minimum pledge will become smaller as larger pledges are made.
Flipstarter team is not planning to accept campaigns after the initial Full Node campaigns. Please read the article "But who will build the platform?" for more details. In summary, Flipstarter is made so that anyone can run a campaign website by themselves. We also hope that a business will decide to create a full fledged funding platform built on Bitcoin Cash - they are welcome to use Flipstarter technology.
The first version of Flipstarter uses proven, low-risk technology of Electron Cash to make pledges. With this, people who want to pledge large amounts to a campaign can feel safe about their money. Unfortunately the need to use a plugin for the Anyone-Can-Pay technique does make it more complicated than usual transactions.
There are at least two ways it can be easier:
The ecosystem develops a payment protocol that supports Anyone-Can-Pay transactions and also wallets implement that payment protocol. After both of those happen, wallets can read a QR code and handle everything for you, similar to the way Bitpay works.
Flipstarter develops smart contract technology and infrastructure to accomplish the same result as Anyone-Can-Pay without the special transaction type. After that, wallets can read a QR code and handle everything for you. You can read about an example by one of our contributors.
No. After you create the pledge in Electron Cash and submit it to the site, you are done. Flipstarter will be able to use the coin to complete the campaign and your Electron Cash does not need to stay running.
Unfortunately no, not yet. If the BCH that you want to pledge is on one of those wallets, you will first need to send the pledge amount to a standard wallet.
If someone submits a pledge that would result in more BCH than the campaign needs, the pledge will be rejected. This can happen, for example, if more than one person tries to pledge the last part of the campaign at the same time.
There are some cases where Flipstarter might encounter unexpected errors. You can reload the website and try again, or contact us on t.me/flipstarter and report the error.
How can people see what campaigns are running at a given time? Is it there a directory or every campaign is running it's own marketing independently of the platform?
Q: The minimum pledge is quite high. Can I make a smaller one?
"This is a limitation of the current technology + Bitcoin Cash protocol where a campaign can only accept a limited number of pledges. The minimum pledge will become smaller as larger pledges are made." -- Can I read more about why? Link to Github / other info please.
That is correct. Sorry to be late with this reply. Alternatively considering that we have enough space for more pledges, making an additional one would have been fine also.
Excellent concept, well done.
How to finetune the amount pledged ?
Can we revise that inside electron cash, or is the amount nailed to the web-page number ?
Everything is nailed and kept tight so that we get predictable and verifiable results for safety. One trick you can do is to right-click "inspect" the slider and increasing the resolution property.
Some people will always whine. But it's your money and your decision what to do with it. If you are replacing it with more, I'm pretty sure nobody will complain. It happend in multiple campaigns, and I did it myself.
