Question

Suggestion: Being able to transfer SmartCents to Owlbuck?

Like 1000 SmarCents = 2owlbucks Etc

Answer 1

Any Ideas :D

Answer 2

The main reason for the owlbucks was to get OS money. This wouldn't help OS make money.

Answer 3

I mean were just handing them out ATM

Answer 4

Smartcents are worth medals OS will not pay employees with medals

Answer 5

I mean we can make it really high so we can still save money

Answer 6

Only for a week.

Answer 7

People wouldnt do it :P trust me this has been suggested

Answer 8

And OS needs to make money not loose it .-.

Answer 9

How about only being able to buy stuff from the emporium

Answer 10

How about, No.

Answer 11

We can do without that @MilkNCookies

Answer 12

Come on now, Jagr.. Preetha wants to make fat stacks...

Answer 13

No she doesnt -_-. No one does something for the money..

Answer 14

Psttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt. "No one does something for the money"..

Answer 15

She made this site for the education of others.

Answer 16

Well, with that many smartcents for 2 owlbucks... no.

2 owlbucks is worthless. 10 is something.

Answer 17

Then why even bother adding owl bucks?

Answer 18

How about non at all.

Answer 19

~~>

Answer 20

*none

Answer 21

The Emporium's products are worth real money. If people spend Owlbucks (without dollars) then os would only lose money.

Answer 22

You just said it wasn't about the money......

Answer 23

Why are we doing all this?
OpenStudy’s mission is to provide free study help for the world. To do this right, we support our site through advertisements. OwlBucks will be another way to raise our revenues so we can keep the site free for all, and yet have enough to support new features, new servers and new development.

And, most importantly, because it will be a lot of fun and in doing this, we can give something back to our best helpers!

I was stating a con about the idea.

Answer 26

Its not about the money its about keeping the site up

Answer 27

IT's not free for all if people are spending real money on "Owl Bucks"

Answer 28

Geez just a suggestion for the future..

Answer 29

Well OS would lose money if we did this we want to earn not lose

Answer 30

It's not a bad idea but I just want os to benefit. I was pointing out how os would only lose money.

Answer 31

I'm saying, There partly for doing it for money..

Answer 32

Answer 33

But like i said, its for future reference

Answer 34

@pooja195

Money to keep the site up and running.

Answer 36

It doesn't cost that much to keep a site up..

Answer 37

Oh, you'l be surprised, MNC.

Answer 38

@confluxepic -_- we need the money to keep the site up that doesnt mean its all about the money it means we need the people to give the money .-. my logic is diffrent than yours :P

Answer 40

the giving today was to find the QH rating bug
and to promote the idea of Qualified Questions

The social media giveaway was to encourage a mass flood of new users to come to OpenStudy in the Finals/Exams season

Oh wow.

Answer 42

Hmhmm, How does it cost to run the site then??

Answer 43

much*

Answer 44

Well, then @sleepyhead314 I guess they failed miserably since I found it. ;)

Answer 45

Hmmm idk u should ask @Preetha

Answer 46

But then again, it was still worth a shot :P

Answer 47

I bet you can run it off a toaster ~~>

Answer 48

it is @TheSmartOne

Answer 49

eric said before that openstudy wouldn't do anything to lose money :/

Answer 50

^

Answer 51

maybe 10 owlbucks when you get the 3000 title is a good enough idea
because few enough people get that far

Answer 52

"Running the site" honestly won't cost that much monthly ~> It would be fine to accept donations or so.. but paying for "Priority Help" is a bit much~

Answer 53

yea what @sleepyhead314 said

Answer 54

Yea for all the people that make it to 3000medals, then they get 10owlbucks

Answer 55

^

Answer 56

10 owlbucks seem to little for that feat. @jagr2713

Answer 57

Roasted.

Answer 58

how about 14owlbucks

Answer 59

Owl bucks are used for what exactly.. Qualified Helpers?

Answer 60

and emporium @MilkNCookies
ROASTED..

Answer 61

if they get that far, it's not like they actually need to ask QH questions :P
I think that when the Volunteer and Certificates are avaliable to purchase, the exchange should be set to that so those users can get a Certificate for basically free

Answer 62

emporium meaning?

Answer 63

Answer 64

I don't know how to read.

Answer 65

Well i dont know what to do..

Answer 66

Answer 67

I agree with you Sleepy.

Answer 68

But what if someone who got 3000 titles in history needs QH help in math? OB would be helpful then.

Answer 69

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @e.mccormick
As I have said... things that cost OS are not going to happen. OB are to gain money, not lose it. So all the suggestions for geting free handouts are simply not something they will look at.
\(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

Answer 70

Then the OB will be for all subjects @confluxepic

Answer 71

has anyone been able to get the 3000 title in histroy? o-o

Answer 72

Oh yeah let me make sure I buy me an OpenStudy t-shirt... Psttt. >_>

Answer 73

No @sleepyhead314 but @Nurali is really close

Answer 74

Not yet Sleepy XD

Answer 75

and @paki

Answer 76

I don't think this is a good idea because then OS does not get money. That's the point of OwlBucks and QHs. Plus, it will increase the amount of people who medal spam just to get SmartCents to get OwlBucks.

Answer 77

^

Answer 78

Vera has that planned out already.

Answer 79

Honestly though who here would actually wear an "OpenStudy" sh

Answer 80

true @vera_ewing

Answer 81

t-shirt?

Answer 82

MilkNCookies wins, End of Discussion.

Answer 83

What are you even arguing? lol @MilkNCookies

Answer 84

lets wait for other opinions on this @MilkNCookies

Answer 85

That Preetha is trying to make fat stacks. ~

Answer 86

....

Answer 87

Everyone knows that the primary purpose of a business is to make money. Preetha established herself as the CEO of OS, therefore OS is a business. Nobody is arguing against that lol

Answer 88

Answer 89

I beg to differ.
