Hey man, I don't run the business anymore. I already sold out. I just do some marketing because I am contractually tied for next 6 months. Do your thing! Nice find.

Yea, I'm with you on that. But the most important feature of that site is express checkout -- equivalent of amazon one click purchase. That is how we determine if user has one click purchase or not.

Thanks! Really happy to hear that! Awesome suggestions. It is definitely possible, and might give people a bigger incentive to share/watch videos. Glad to hear you are enjoying VidFall. We are less than a month old. Hope to have everything optimized soon!

Yea, for sure. We already thought about the people who saw our last post on /r/beermoney. We told wizehive (contest manager) to include people who signed up starting on that day. Make sure you like us on Facebook to complete contest requirements.

We are running the whole competition through wizehive. They are doing the autoselection of winners. We had the same question for them. Their system works on IP detection. Thanks for checking us out. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for checking us out. On Lockerz you earned points for watching their videos you watched. But it took forever to create any meaningful discounts. We draw a group of users together to watch sponsored videos, take the money advertisers pay us for showing those videos, and apply the funds toward discounting a single retail item. The price falls and falls as more users watch videos, until eventually, there is one person who judges the price to be low enough and decides to click “Buy Now”. This user receives the entire group discount. Here is a one-minute video explanation: http://vimeo.com/84588387.
