    Note: More Cash Also Coming Later

    • This first post is valid now, and can be ignored if you find this thread after the initial money is paid.
    • The thread might be used again for more easy money, so please check for updates in the newest posts.
    • I might be off-line for several hours, and promise the money will be paid ASAP.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Skills Needed

    * Basic computer knowledge
    * Some logic and common sense
    * Ability to follow simple insturctions
    * Use a "Help" file, if needed.

    Initial Prizes 9/20/08:

    $10 Paypal to the first person to accurately finish an easy, fast job.
    (The prize goes down to $4 if you make a mistake in your work; also, more than one mistake and your cash goes to someone else)
    $2 Paypal to the first DP member to correctly verify the work was done right.
    $4 Paypal to the first DP member who finds the verifier made a mistake (within one hour of the first verification), and finishes the easy work correctly.


    Bonuses:

    $2 if you are the winner, and one of the first five people to post:

    "I'll try this"

    or

    "I've downloaded the zip file"

    $5 to the first person who finds a mistake in the section I worked on (member.php);
    Note: ignoring a new comment does not count as a "mistake", and we don't know if there are any mistakes.

    Simple Instructions:

    Please, download the zip and be the first to accurately follow the Simple Instructions found in readme.txt

    Mirror site for download (if needed)

    FAQ:

    What is in the zip file?

    readme.txt
    changes.txt
    3 brief MP3's for easy instructions and help
    2 file folders related to the contest
    1 Winmerge.exe which is a (trusted) utility to make the easy job much easier.


    Enjoy.

    To enter:

    I forgot one important detail. :eek:
    To enter just copy / paste the finished version of changes.txt into a new reply to this thread. Then your work is open for someone to verify.

    Thanks.

    WinMerge.exe is one way to help make it easier.
    Do you have any type of comparison utility for Mac?

    Hi,

    "changes.txt" (in the zip file) shows how ~20% of the easy job is already done.
    The other ~80% will be fast, easy, and real similar to the parts I already finished.
    There is also a MP3 and other files to help you.

    Thanks

    Attention to detail...?
    Didn't you read the whole post? ;)

    $2 Paypal to the first DP member to correctly verify the work was done right.
    $4 Paypal to the first DP member who finds the verifier made a mistake (within one hour of the first verification), and finishes the easy work correctly.



    Thank you

    Hi,

    You can make a new entry, or verify what the other guy did (and still make money if you're accurate)

    `````````````
    * I will probably be off-line for several hours, and promise the money will be paid ASAP.

    Nice job.
    This is accurate, and exactly what I was looking for, so you win the $10. :)



    Nice try...

    "changes.txt" (in the zip file) shows how ~20% of the easy job is already done.
    The other ~80% will be fast, easy, and real similar to the parts I already finished.


    You did extra, but someone else finished first.

    I'll gladly pay you this...

    ...even though you didn't exactly verify the winner.
    $4 isn't bad for second place, maybe you can win the next time. :)
    Please, PM your Paypal email (Edit: I have your email now, thanks)


    EDIT: I need to look at your feedback from my 'mistake'.
    Will update soon...

    Update:
    "Note: ignoring a new comment does not count as a "mistake","
    $4 is very fair, thanks for your entry.
