Going through cryptocurrencies projects I found Creativechain.org it describes itself as "a multimedia marketplace for distributed intellectual property"

"Thanks to Creativechain's peer-to-peer ecosystem we can forget about the opaque and centralized models of content distribution whose intermediaries set huge fees that make the work of authors more expensive."

"At Creativechain we are challenging the centralized power of traditional systems of copyright management entities. We offer a public and transparent alternative to intellectual property registration using revolutionary distributed technology blockchain"

It sounds exciting science fiction, what do you think guys?
I signed up for beta testing and downloaded crea wallet.

Apparently cryptocurrencies are here to stay and blockchain is a revolutionary technology

If this is a random thing as you suggest I will update you about my missing $$ in a few weeks.

In my opinion is better to get $93 a week for ELs with missing $20 than getting $28 a week without $20 missing.

I will not opt out, it was a good change for some of us. Before I had +/- one EL a week and 4 last days got me 4 ELs $28 $28,50 $17,93 $18,88. You do the maths, I prefer to take photos.

two Enhanced Downloads for me yesterday, first was $28, second $28,50

well today i have only 4 sales on fotolia, shutter is  below average today, do we get money for free download or not?

This scene is becoming depressed

The question is how much will we get. Last time it was clear: 50% of 9,99$ = 4,99 buyer pays=3.30 we get. Now it seems like for the free month for new customers we get 1.65$, but it can be 0,99 (?) if buyer will sign up for one year of Adobestock https://stock.adobe.com/promo/firstmonthfree. And I have no idea how much should we get for 120 free images offered for MAX attendees.

Yes, in the newsletter they sent out, Adobe said we would be getting paid for the free downloads given away.

Where in this email Adobe said that we would be getting paid for free downloads?
"We wanted to inform you that regardless of this offer occurring, your commission will be unchanged and you will continue to generate royalties at the current rate." - English is not my first language and this is not clear for me. Mayebey they mean that commision will be unchanged for our usual sales, not the ones given for free. Don't you think that if Adobe was about to give us money from their pocket they would annouce that very clearly and give info rearding the fee?

wow! amazing videos guys

what for? for our future

any idea of approximate cost to set up a stock selling site?

tahanks jjneff, I was considering getting Phantom2 with GoPro4 but my research shows that Phantom's3 camera gives better quality still photo. on the other hand having a copter without built in camera gives you possibility to change optics when there is something new/better on the market without changing a drone. Sending a dslr into the sky is very expensive, i was thinking about compact camera, but gimbals are also expensive toys. There are some rc tech guys willing to assemble the system for compact, but I don't want to carry a soldering gun in my bag and all those sticking out wires looks user unfriendly.

Have you been exercising on smaller copters before flying P3?

I bought the DJI Phantom 3 Professional

Jjneff, is the quality of photo and video stock acceptable?

yes it is.

thank you leaf

madman - yes
ShadySue - i don't think symbio is now a threat to big agencies
Sebalos - that is why i said about investing.
Maximilian - prices similar to other sites but higher percentage for us, there would be a lot to discuss. maybe to avoid hassle with inspecion of each file we could for example accept only trusted contributors considering their portfolio.

I have no plan just the idea but if you say it is bad let's stick to the topic, sit in a circle and hold hands; my name is Anna, last month i've earned 2grands less than in the same month last year.
Your turn now

For me it's about protecting myself, I'd rather be safe than sorry.  It only takes a second to fill out a release.  And standards change, maybe next week SS won't take a release that doesn't match the date the photo was taken.  Then how much of a pain in the a is it going to be to get a new release.

sorry, i thought it was question about uploading separate releases for the exif date to match, not filling

one would work for top and middle tier and all low earners i know, except Istock - pain in the a.. upload process. 

Instead of crying how bad they treat us while we let them, why don't we invest in OUR stock site?  We could have good prices, comparing to top tier cause no ceos holiday sponsoring, only fee for site maintenance.  We are creative minds capable of good and big ad campaign in media. I think customers would like the idea that they pay straight to artists pocket, avoiding addicional agency fee.
Is it possible?

just thinking out loud..

No problems here, approved on monday, came up online on tuesday.

I had lower back pain until got an ergonomic chair with a laptop stand, also bought a special mouse pad to attach to the armrest and i love this system. Now I can work lying down, people hate me for this .-)
There is also an option with a legrest

http://www.centrumkrzesel.pl/zestaw-1-ergohuman-24h/3474/p   (price around $600)

Different one, more expensive and nicer design - http://www.mposition.pl/

Every month it is on my paypal account betweet 12th and 15th

Done, thank you. Sorry if that subject was here before - why don't we - artists - invest and launch our stock agency? Is it to complicated? Not worth it if we pay professionals to run it? We have got the power for a huge ad campaing to start, there is so many of us.

Hi, I'm fotolia emerald and want to join you gyus, please help - where do I find the opt out button?
