Jobs, Features & Forum

Posted: 22 Sep 2010 08:57 PM PDT

Due to the rapid growth of PayBox, we have decided to accelerate the development of our service. That means we will soon be making some changes to the Roadmap and Launch Schedule (found in the secure log-in area).

We are now hiring Web Developers and other people who possess great skill in the field of computers and technology. Please check the job listings to see our new Web Developer job listing.

So what does this mean for you?

It means that we now expect to have usable services sooner than we originally planned. We are working to develop the most basic levels of transaction processing over the next few weeks. This step is critical. It will be the foundation upon which we build our payment processing technology.

After that, it gets even more exciting. Within a couple of months, we expect to roll out some new services that will allow you to buy and sell using the balance in your PayBox account.

Please keep in mind, all of the mentioned features and services will be experimental at first. We’ll soon need the help of our EarlyBird users as we test these new features and services. That’s exactly why we have been allowing EarlyBird users to join.

The forum isn’t ready quite yet. We are still working on it. Once the forum is online, we will need forum mods (moderators). If you’ve ever been a forum mod, or if you would like to become one, please consider moderating in the PayBox forum. We need people:

    * Who are excited by the service PayBox is building
    * Who have read everything we’ve been posting (in the blog and on the website)
    * Who understand what it’s about, and can clearly explain it to users who just “don’t get it”.

You’ll also be responsible for:

    * Removing inappropriate comments from the forum
    * Banning users who are overly negative and caustic.

We’ll be accepting applications for forum moderators soon. It’s a non-paid position, but definitely has its perks (for example, you’ll be “master of your own domain” and get pre-EarlyBird access to our newest features). If you think you would enjoy becoming a forum moderator, please consider applying when the positions soon become available.

Getting the forum and good, reliable moderators in place will take a huge load off our “customer service” requests. It will free up PayBox to begin rapid development of the service. We haven’t wanted to reduce payments to EarlyBird users, so the forum/moderator approach will allow us to speed ahead with development of new features for PayBox.

If you understand what’s being said here, you may make a good forum moderator. For those who don’t get it and are still asking, “How can I withdraw?” — don’t worry — our new forum may be able to answer all of of your questions.

We’ve got a lot in the works. I’ll let you know as soon as I have more details.
