For the sake of transparency, here's what I've gotten so far:

roslinpl - received list of 100 - good quality (not just betting sites)
sinecoin - received list of 337 titles - I need to verify his list has domain names

Candystripes1 - received sample of 279 - I need to verify if the total is 279 or 1,000
Candystripes2 - received list of 563 - good quality

Triched - received list of 527 titles - I need to verify his list has domain names and if 527 is the total number

conteaza - said he has a list of 1,200 - I requested a sample to determine quality and diversity among the categories

So far all of the lists look like they are good quality and diversity.  Once I get the questions answered I'll divide up the 1.5 BTC proportionally and send payments.  Hopefully today if everyone answers my PMs.

And for that guy expressing dissatisfaction: a) a forum is a terrible method to hire people but it's the best we have, and b) I was expecting one person to claim the job and everyone else would see that someone had claimed it and not start working on it.  But more people replied and said they were already starting to work on it, so I feel obligated to divide the payment up and even added an extra 0.5 BTC to the total amount.  Best I can do.
