The Affiliate Management team has been notified of the new post.
Still did not get my Feb payment. As they inform me that im located in high-risk location and the cant send the wire. Also adding my Visa is not possible at their back end. Sent them a proposal for Bitcoin payment, but still no answer.
I got paid a few days ago, the responded to my email within a few hours also.. so pretty good service on my partNothing here yet this month either
I also got confirmation that they are adding it, hopefully in time before the EurocupMarch payment. Find a solution with them to get paid by Bitcoin. Got the payment today. They are planing to add Bitcoin as payment method for affiliates.

Phew - it's not only me then!Setting up a BitCoin account confuses the f#ck out of me.
Bernie (WCD) explained it to me, in really simple terms and while I got what he said, I'm still like wtf. I'm totally clueless. It gives me a damn heachache every time I got to try and get it setup.
I've spent 3-4 days getting to grips with this.Similar to how Paypal is email address driven this appears to be a address string of up to 34 characters.
I suppose we could keep a spreadsheet of the addresses we give to each program to match it up after payment.

1/ I'm not comfortable having an online wallet at blockchain.info and would rather have a desktop download that stores a wallet on my machine encrypted.
This gives me a better feeling of security ... if I turn off my computer (and have kept my passwords safe) then I am NOT getting hacked.
But blockchain does have two-step authentication using a mobile phone - so it's probably OK - but lose that phone ... and ???
2/ In order to track payments I suggest the best approach will be to set up a separate wallet for each program - and label the wallets as such.
Otherwise it WILL become confusing as to who sent what value of bitcoins and whether you are being paid correctly or underpaid.
3/ You can then send the bitcoins into an exchange account (at Kraken or other exchanges) convert into REAL currency - and then get that wired to your bank account.
This three step process SHOULD mean that there is no real trace of the bitcoins coming from a gambling environment.
I so far have been using Electrum.. It gives you more control as it is installed directly onto your PC (or phone) and offers cold (offline) storage as well. You can create unlimited wallets with electrum its pretty simple to use. I have it installed on my PC, then on my phone as a 'Watching only wallet' meaning, I can use it to check my balances, generate new bitcoin addresses, but can not spend btc from my phone or access the private key (so no worry if my phone becomes stolen).

Not the prettiest, but basic and easy to use.. You can also label your bitcoin addresses so you know who you gave what address to (deckmedia).
From here if I wanted to convert to $$ I would then transfer my btc to an online exchange. But until then everything is stored on my PC (password protected, with my 'seed word' written down and placed in a safe, so if I should ever need to restore my wallet, pc becomes unusable or whatever, I can do that as well).
