General Stock Discussion / Payment costs due to exchange rates/paypal cost - can I get paid in BTC/ETh ?

« on: December 28, 2019, 08:04 »

At the moment my stock earnings are mostly paid in $ but living in Europe I'm paying costs on my paypal conversion in €.
What do you think of getting our fees paid in crypto currencies like bitcoin or ethereum ? Stock agencies are by nature internet competent so adapting to crypto can not be that hard.

Off Topic / Birdlance a marketplace for pictures, illustrations and artwork while providing

« on: September 08, 2019, 08:39 »

Warning: Only for nerds -
As a traditional IT professional and amateur stock photographer I came along this 'https://www.birdlance.com/' project.
Having no knowledge about cryptocurrencies but being curious about it I opened an account last week. It was fun to dive into the world of blockchain however the project is still in a embryonic stage and I'm impatiently waiting to be able to upload and process my first picture to test. Probably we will see this technology in what format whatsoever in the stock business sooner or later.

It looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try one of the links below or a search?"

General Photography Discussion / Are there any linux users around here, and how is their workflow ?

« on: February 11, 2012, 06:42 »

As linux user (ubuntu for the moment) I'm using only soft available under that platform. This excludes all the major application like lightroom or photoshop and also the soft from nikon since these softs doesn't work on linux. My basic software used for the moment is :
darktable as raw converter and editing
picasa as library manager
prostockmaster (older version) used for tagging
eventualy:
luminance for hdr
gimp for special editing

Are there other linux users on this forum ? And what is your workflow ?

123RF / My pictures on Inmagine without reference to my name

« on: December 29, 2011, 15:31 »

I know 123Rf is owned by inmagine and i saw some of my images there. But is it normal that there is no reference to me the photographer. http://www.inmagine.com/alamy/c94952-photo
Will i be paid 50% if an image of me is sold there ?
Since Alex http://my.linkedin.com/pub/alex-p-ng/24/ba1/a71 is involved in both sites can he make something clear on this ?

Some more links to pictures of me

http://www.inmagine.com/alamy/c94k4h-photo

On Alamy one can only upload editorial images as "Rights Managed" with restrictions set. Is it still possible to upload the same images to other stocksites like DT, also editorial. (on both sites non-exclusive of course). ?
