Seriously make some cash! - Off-topic

Hey guys, recently i've been doing surveys for a website, which usually pays from $3-$100 (around that range) a survey. It's a really quick and easy sign to up. Just wanted to give a brief summary about it.
Also wanted to tell you that it really works. I recieved $25 dollars (in check) in the mail. although it takes about 2-3 weeks for the money to come in, i wouldn't mind waiting if it's money. There's no minimum amount until you are able to cash it in; you can do it whenever you want to.
If you don't care, or this is a joke, just exit your screen, just wanted to help you guys out if you're ever bored online.
Honestly, part of why i am also doing this is for referrals, so if you would be so kind to refer me, umchriswho[at]gmail.com, i would be really thankful (especially if you find that this really works for you and you're getting paid for it).
!!!IF YOU are planning to do it, don't forget to do the profile portrait surveys; they enable you to get the most out of the surveys, which enables you to make more money.
Thank you guys very much and hope you enjoy!
P.S, if you have a HTC HERALD, please check out my rom if you would like, thanks again!

i would like to thanks those who've reffered me when the signed up.
thanks for all the help. and don't forget to refer your friends to help yourself out!!!

Happy Developers = Happy Users

Please bear with me as I convert my thoughts into words.
We all know that symbiotic relationships work. One benefits from the other and the other benefits from the first. Taking the concept from the Driver Bounty thread, I've started to think that it would be very useful an "open air market". No, no, no...that doesn't sound right. Ok, let me use an example.
I think that S2U2 is great, but I think whats better is to have your own specialized custom unlock signature. For example, I would writing my name in cursive and the phone unlocks. Thats hell of a lot nicer than just sliding an icon. I'm willing to pay a maximum of 20 dollars to any one who makes this.
20 bucks. I can already imagine a developer thinking that its not worth their time. However, lets suppose 10 other people are interested in this app and would dish out $20 each, with 10 other people giving $10, and 20 people giving $5. Thats $400. That 400 dollars might be the threshold for a person to "take the challenge" or want to start working on that program.
Driver Bounty thread is a perfect example. Now this is taking that idea and applying to apps.
My thought is that people begin to pour our their ideas. And as ideas are generated, the reasonable ones, the feasable ones, and the worth while ones are selected. (Maybe with a poll?) And once agreed upon a certain app, those people interested would begin to put money in an "XDA Account". This "XDA Account" would just collect money and not withdraw money from peoples accounts until this threshold is met. Meaning I put my money down and it would not be withdrawn from my bank account until a person decides to create the app that is wanted. Once the app is made, he or she can walk off with the money and we can walk off with the app.
This is pretty much the exact same thing from driver bounty thread just applied to applications that people want/are thinking about.
Here are the benefits as I see it:
1. This would generate more people wanting to work on apps and not just relying on donations.
2. This would give the people want they want.
Happy Developers = Happy Users.
Now, lets suppose that my S2U2 idea (probably already been thought of before, in fact I'm sure it has) will catch on. Lets say that those certain people mentioned above would put their money down. Well, maybe a deal would be made. Those people who put their money down would get the app first, and would get updates every once in a while. Where as those who did not put their money down, who still want the app, don't get to reap the benefits.
This way I think we can bring more developers in and generate more applications. But more importantly, those guys who are working hard on these apps would be guaranteed some money, rather than waiting for donations.
Not that I'm against donations, its great! But I think this is also a good idea.
Now, this is all just in my head. I, in no way, would benefit from this as a user other than the fact that I could contribute to coming up with ideas for applications. This is just an idea that would make us all happy.
So what do you guys think? Is this a stupid idea? Has it been done before? Is it already being done and I'm just a moron for not seeing it? Or is this a good idea?
I look forward to seeing your feedback.
Feel free to be mean if this has been mentioned before. I can take it

Donation fund for P1tater

[size=+2] NO MORE DONATIONS NEEDED[/size]
[size=+2] Phone purchased from leoiden[/size]
We all know how much P1tater has helped and contributed to this community. I thought it might be a good thing if we all chipped and showed him some support after all the help and support he has provided. He unfortunately had an accident and his phone ended up destroyed. How about we all chip in a little and get him a refurbished phone? What do you guys think???
I will be accepting the money on P1tater's behalf. Whatever you guys can chip in would be greatly appreciated.
$320 US Dollars donated as of May 5th, 2008 9:00pm PST.

I dont trust my money in your hand !
kidding , I am actually working out some hot deal for a brand new tilt . If it went through, he will get a tilt for deep discount. If not , my money in your bank.
i know its not much but i just donated $20. he's never personally helped me, but i certainly do appreciate what he does for this community
EDIT:
oh wait, i have downloaded from his 4shared folder......so there you go, thanks for that tater
Nice work guy's we are already up to $75
Can you outline what he has done for the community? I am up for donating by all means.
However, I don't believe I've ever used any of his ROM's, and I don't know what other contributions he's done. Has he made tools for use to developers and such?
Sell me with the points and things he's been credited for and I'll definitely donate. Just curious for what he's known for here. ;-)

P1 has done a lot for this forum including support a lot of people that needed help. Aside from that I am sure he has helped many cooks testing their work before they published it to this forum. He has done beta testing for ROMS that you might have used in the past or might be running now. I see him as one fo the key people that keeps information moving in this forum. Those are just my two cents.
-McMex
Here are my 10$!
Pleased to help the forum.
Still no need of specific help, but doing my homework - who knows for tomorrow???
Indeed, an oiled phone lets you always make very fluid calls.....
$25 sent just a minute ago. Don't ask about the email address... it's left over from my days of running a Video Game Emulation site...
hi,
Ok, donation made, you can add another 15$
This way he can buy a brand new castrol... ops, i mean another kaiser...
glad to helt such a great member of this community.
cheers

ohhh myyyy gooood, you have got to be kidding me, the man dropped his phone in oil, if you want to donate then do so, if not don't, p1tater has a BIG reputation, the fact that he has a FTP site for everyone to use was well worth the donation i made. you can find all kinds of cool FREE software to download for FREE. If thats not justification for a donation i don't know what is. Also if you had dropped your phone in oil and helped a bunch of people on here wouldn't you hope that others would donate. Just for the fact of being able get him a new device so he can help beta test to make the programs you download work properly. you should be ashamed of even righting what you did.
For Tater I'll throw in $40.
Tater is the bomb.

Nobody need to sell you the idea because this is a DONATION.
Engrish is my 2nd language but I do understand the meaning and spirit of the word. If you dont , please look up in the dictionary.
Extra money in the pot is good , but there is no one come after your ass for this donation. If you care, thanks for your support. If you dont, mind your own business mate.
Can you sell me your idea of writing your post ? maybe penis envy or small man complex. You aint losing no money so drink your anger management pill and relax. Or just spend that extra money on some grass and call it a day.
important factor: P1tater himself did not ask for any donation. We doing it not for benefit nor fame , not even to prove that my pocket is deeper than yours. We do it cuz he is our fellas in the XDA care bear club.
Beside working on a new cheap Tilt, I guess $20 would help a bit. Its few weeks until my next pay check , but hey, p1tater may slit his wrist with his V3 by then .
He has not directly help me anything ,but I looted his cab here and there . and we all should not ignore the fact that his ****ty attitude keeps stupid post away !!!
ATW !! you should start doing some smart to keep the pot update man
p/s , ****, my paypal is screwed upon me . will send it as long as I get home to jump on my gf account lol

Will do I will add it to the first post
$165 US Dollars so far
i know its not much but
here is another 5 from me Alltheway. I know its not much but hopefully it helps; if i could i would definitly do more. P1tater does alot on this forum trying to help everyone out and it would be great if i can help him out by my donation.
p.s. we just need to make sure he does not end up dropping this one while working on his hot rod again ...
I'm kickin' in $5 just for all the times I've shot Red Bull out of my nose from reading his flames.
Sorry I can't give more, but they upped the rate on my truck insurance because I manage a business that does delivery in OTHER LOCATIONS!!!
Thank you so much to all who have donated so far
This is truly a great community indeed.

Giving back to the community

Back when I had my Fuze and got started in scene of modifying my phones XDA proved to be a stellar resource. I tossed donations out to those that helped me. Oli and cmonex for HardSPL, Doug for blownfuze.org (I have my tilt2 now you bastard, update your frickin' site! j/k - I know you've had a hell of a lot on your plate), That dude whose name I can't remember that makes the RRE ROMs, the first one I flashed to my Fuze and loved. Maybe a couple of others along the way.
Granted it wasn't much. $5, $10, $20...whatever. But you all helped make an otherwise "Meeeh" phone into something that I really enjoyed, and that made all the difference!
At any rate, to get on with the point of the thread. This past year has been a bit of a financial struggle for me, and will continue to be I'm sure. I still flash new ROMs regularly but I do so with a tincture of guilt knowing that I'm not really in a position to give back to those that are giving their time and knowledge for the benefit of others.
One thing that I am able to offer, though, is FTP through my domain. I've got unlimited diskspace and unlimited bandwidth. I can set you up with a subdomain on my domain which is e-nanigans.com....so it'd be whateveryouwant.e-nanigans.com. Upload files. Make a webpage if you want, I don't care.
I know most people go through sites that some folks might deem a bit of a hassle. Waiting 60 seconds, throttled downloads. ads.....etc.
I'd like to extend this offer to folks that are actually going to use it, though. So if you're a chef that's developing things for XDA on a regular basis and want somewhere that's hassle free to put your files drop me a line.
A big thanks to all of you that make this community what it is.
Cheers gang,
Josh

I could really use some help [Update] Thank you all!

As some of you may know, I'm responsible for the Superuser app that is found on nearly every rooted android phone these days. I've been working on version 3.0 for some time now, but progress has been really slow since I got military orders to move to the UK. Well, I've already moved over here, but my wife and kids had to stay behind due to the State Department really dropping the ball on their passports. The problem has been fixed but they're still back in the states. The military will pay for their plane tickets but there are other expenses involved that they aren't covering, like me having to rent a van to get her from the airport. The problem is that we're between paychecks and money doesn't go too far when you're supporting two households. We get paid again on the first, but that's still a ways away...
Point is I'd love to be able to get her over here sooner, but I need some help. If you can spare anything, Me and the wife and kids would be extremely grateful. Plus the sooner she gets here, the sooner I can get back to developing and get Superuser 3.0 out.
There's a donate link by my name on the left, and one in my signature. Anything you can give would be great. Thanks!
** Update **
In the course of less than 24 hours you guys have donated more than $700 to my family. It's overwhelming to see a community so strong and willing to help. Thank you all so much. I really hope that someday we get the opportunity to give back. If you still feel compelled to donate, I won't stop you, but I'm pretty sure we've gotten what we need to make this transition a lot easier. Thank you again!
Come on guys! We ALL use SuperUser!! Whats a couple of bucks?? Being a veteran myself, I know what this can be like. I know a few of you have been there yourselves.
:shrug: It's a really good way to say thank you.
Getting a great response so far. Thanks for everybody's help!
Wish I could afford more mate. If I had it, I'd pay the lot. I've give what I can on my meagre salary.

Yea, just switch to something else. No matter what you switch to, you are always saving money. At the end you end up with Geico anyway though.
