TheDoc: I also sent you .25, enjoy! Don't be discouraged and please do continue to work for Bitcoins - a better economy for all =)
Thank you guys so much for your generosity, and for letting me vent a little bit! I really do appreciate it, and I'm looking. Always looking. =D I would rather this whole thing be a success, so of course I'll do my part. I wish I had joined this forum sooner, you guys seem a lot nicer than everywhere else on the internet.
MacFall: Do you think people would be interested in paying like .10 or so for a novella? That's my skill is writing.
Maybe. Depends on how good it is. Something to keep in mind: the highest price that someone will pay is not the best price. The best price is the one that
the most people will pay. If your novel kicks ass, then you might get 20,000 people willing to pay .10 BTC for it and make out like a bandit. If it doesn't, then you might get 200 people willing to pay .10 BTC - but 1000 willing to pay .05. If you want, I can read it and give you my appraisal (the market may not reflect my opinion, but for what it's worth...)
Or hell, you could even publish it (or a part of it, for advertising purposes) on Fledge Press if it meets our guidelines and you want to do that. I'm publishing my own serial novels and those of a friend, and I plan to sell them in electronic form for about $5/BTC equivalent and on paper for maybe twice that as I finish them. But I'm not rigidly fixed on a price.
