BONDED: The Annual Irish Whiskey Handbook

BONDED is a new annual publication dedicated to documenting the people, places, distilleries, brands, and stories of Irish whiskey.

Launching in 2027, our goal is to create the definitive annual record of Irish whiskey, similar to the role the Malt Whisky Yearbook plays within Scotch whisky.

We're looking for a highly organized Research Assistant to help build and maintain the database that will underpin the publication.

This is a remote, flexible, part-time contract position.

This role combines research, fact-checking, data management, and outreach.

You will be responsible for gathering, verifying, and organizing information from Irish distilleries and other industry sources.

Responsibilities

* Research Irish distilleries, whiskey brands, and industry developments.
* Build and maintain detailed spreadsheets and databases.
* Verify facts using multiple sources.
* Contact distilleries by email and telephone to gather and confirm information.
* Track key dates, milestones, releases, ownership changes, and personnel appointments.
* Maintain source records and references.
* Follow up with distilleries and contributors when information is missing or incomplete.
* Assist with compiling annual timelines and "Year in Irish Whiskey" content.
* Organize photographs, links, and supporting materials.

The Ideal Candidate

You:

* Enjoy finding answers to difficult questions.
* Are comfortable speaking with people on the phone.
* Write professional, concise emails.
* Have excellent attention to detail.
* Are highly organized.
* Can manage spreadsheets confidently.
* Work well independently.
* Follow instructions carefully.
* Are persistent when responses are slow.

Experience in journalism, publishing, archives, libraries, research, business intelligence, genealogy, history, or market research would be advantageous.

Skills

Required:

* Online research
* Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel
* Written English
* Data organization
* Communication and follow-up

Desirable:

* Experience conducting interviews
* Database management
* Familiarity with AI-assisted research tools
* Publishing or editorial experience

Hours

* Approximately 10–15 hours per week initially
* Flexible schedule
* Remote
* Potential for ongoing work on future editions

Application

Please include:

1. A brief introduction.
2. Relevant experience.
3. An example of a project that required extensive research and organization.
4. Your hourly rate.

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to complete a paid test project involving the creation of an Irish whiskey distillery profile.

The successful candidate will help create what we hope becomes the annual historical record of Irish whiskey.

*TITLE:*
URGENT: Senior Full-Stack Next.js & Supabase Developer for Live Fintech Platform (Logic Restructuring, White-labeling & Premium UI)
*PROJECT OVERVIEW:*
We are hiring a Top Rated, highly experienced Full-Stack Developer (Next.js App Router, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Supabase) to troubleshoot, optimize, and completely polish our live investment/fintech platform.
*IMPORTANT:* You are NOT building from scratch. The platform is already live on Vercel with active users. Your task is to surgically fix critical mathematical logic bugs in the backend, handle Supabase triggers/constraints securely, execute a high-end "Apple Matte" luxury UI overhaul, and completely white-label the system.
*CORE TASKS (THE BLUEPRINT):*
*1. Database, Triggers & Financial Logic (Critical):*
- *Profit Calculation:* Fix the ```Daily Profit``` distribution logic (API). Ensure profit calculations are based strictly on ```wallet.initial_capital``` (Active Asset), NOT historical deposits.

- *Top-Up / Reinvest Reset:* Fix the 400% ROI Cap logic. When a user makes a NEW Top-Up (Deposit), their 400% tracker (```total_profit_earned```) MUST accurately reset to 0 in Supabase. You must fix the Supabase Database Triggers/Constraints that are currently rejecting this API update (Preventing Numeric Field Overflow).

- *Anti-Double Claim:* Ensure strict server-side validation to prevent double-claiming of daily profit.

- *Legacy Logic Removal:* Eradicate any legacy code related to "Strategic Booster (0.2%)" and "50/50 Profit Sharing". Profit distribution must be 100% to the user based on the admin's broadcasted rate.

*2. Deposit & Withdrawal Automation:*
- *Deposit Timer & Lock:* Deposits must have a strict 15-minute expiration timer. During this time, the user's screen is locked to the payment instructions.

- *Auto-Credit:* If the payment gateway (NOWPayments) confirms the deposit via IPN, the system must Auto-Credit the Asset Wallet and instantly distribute the 8%, 5%, 2% Sponsor Bonuses in real-time. No admin approval required.

- *Automated Payout API:* Integrate automated crypto payout API for Withdrawals. When the admin clicks "Approve", the crypto must be sent directly to the user's wallet automatically (No more manual copy-pasting addresses).

- *Dynamic Withdrawal Fee:* Implement dynamic fees internally: 20% fee before achieving 100% ROI (BEP), and 5% flat fee after reaching BEP (Calculated from total historical withdrawals vs Active Capital).

*3. Rank Qualification (P1-P5 Network Logic):*
- Fix the group network volume (Omzet) calculation. It must read real-time from active deposits (```initial_capital```). If a downline withdraws their capital, the upline's group volume must drop in real-time. Enforce 3-leg requirements correctly.

- *Real-Time Genealogy UI:* Upgrade the "Network" page so members can monitor their downline's depth, names, real-time volume, and ranks perfectly.

*4. Premium UI/UX Polish & "The Victory Button":*
- *Apple Matte Luxury Theme:* Overhaul the Dashboard, Wallets, Deposit, and Withdrawal pages to a sophisticated "Matte Charcoal & Solid Apple Blue" theme. Use official HD crypto logos.

- *The Victory Button (Daily Profit Claim):* Redesign the daily profit claim card into an ultra-premium masterpiece. Fix all React Hydration Mismatch errors. The button must seamlessly transition from a "Waiting" state to an active "CLAIM PROFIT" state exactly at 10:00 AM without screen flickering or errors. Include satisfying micro-interactions/haptic animations upon clicking.

- *Premium Receipt Generator:* Add a "Download as Image/PDF" button to transaction receipts. The generated receipt must look extremely premium and include a unique QR Code (Anti-Fraud Validation) for social media flexing.

*5. Additional Fintech Features:*
- *P2P Internal Transfer:* Allow members to transfer Bonus Wallet balances to other members via Email or Username.
- *Security:* Implement 6-Digit Transaction PIN / 2FA for Withdrawals and P2P Transfers.

- *Compound Calculator:* Build an interactive calculator for users to project their compounding interest goals.

*6. Absolute White-Labeling & Mass Scalability (Crucial):*
- *Eradicate Traces:* Remove ALL traces of previous developers, default Vercel/Supabase branding, and any Indonesian language/localization from the codebase, meta tags, and server settings. The platform must reflect a 100% independent global entity based in Spain (European context).

- *Scalability & Security:* Optimize data fetching (implement Skeleton Loading) to fix the chronic "5-10 minutes dashboard loading" issue. Implement Rate Limiting/Anti-DDoS, and set up Automated Daily Database Backups.

*REQUIREMENTS:*
- Absolute mastery of Supabase (RLS, Edge Functions, Database Triggers) and Next.js.

- You must work on a Staging environment first. NO pushing to production without UAT approval.

- We expect clean execution without constant trial-and-error on the live database.

Please start your proposal with the word "VORTEX-CEO" so I know you read the full brief.
- *Internal Reinvest:* Allow members to transfer funds from Bonus Wallet to Asset Wallet (Active Capital).

I have a well-developed Ancestry.com profile with evidence linking one generation to the next.

I need a genealogist that will assemble digital proof packets using a detailed and already well-developed Ancestry.com profile. This is mostly busy work with some light research occasionally.

You should be well-versed in how to use Ancestry.com, among other core genealogical research skills.

I'm looking for someone to create 3 short vertical videos (30–60 seconds each) for Facebook Reels and other social media platforms.

The topic is Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps — historic maps of American towns and cities from 100+ years ago.

The goal is NOT to create a traditional sales commercial. I want videos that make people curious and interested in these maps.

Ideas include:

* "Have you ever heard of Sanborn Maps?"
* Showing an old map and zooming in on streets, buildings, businesses, and interesting details.
* Talking about how you can see what a town looked like 100 years ago.

* Explaining why these maps are becoming popular as home, office, restaurant, and business decor.
* "History you can hang on your wall."

I will provide map images and examples.

Style should feel natural and authentic, not like a TV commercial. Think Facebook Reel, Instagram Reel, or TikTok style content that grabs attention and makes people say, "Wow, I've never seen these before."

Deliverables:

* 3 vertical videos
* 30–60 seconds each
* MP4 format
* 1080x1920 resolution
* Ready to upload to Facebook Reels or website
* Full usage rights for website, social media, and advertising use

Please share examples of previous videos you've created.

**Italian Family Tree Organization & Presentation **

I'm looking for an experienced genealogist to help organize and present a completed Italian family history research project into a polished, shareable format.

This will be a gift for my dad and his cousins :)

**About the Project**
The core genealogical research on our family line is approximately 99% complete. We now need help transforming that research into a clean, well-organized document that family members can read, print, and keep - think a binder-style family tree with supporting documents included as an appendix.

**What We Need**
- Organize existing family tree data into a clear, readable format
- Design or lay out a printable family tree (chart and/or narrative style - open to your recommendation)
- Compile supporting documents (vital records, certificates, etc.) into an organized appendix
- Final deliverable should be print-ready and easy to reproduce/distribute to family members

**Background Context**
This research was initiated in connection with an Italian heritage citizenship application (Jure Sanguinis). Familiarity with Italian genealogy and civil/church records is a plus, though the research itself is largely done - this engagement is focused on organization and presentation.

**Requirements**
- Member of the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG)
- Experience with Italian genealogy preferred
- Strong attention to detail and document organization
- Please include samples of similar family history documents or binders you've produced

**To Apply**
Please share your APG membership status, relevant experience with Italian ancestry projects, and 1–2 examples of comparable work.

Translate genealogy report from English to Hebrew. Word count (one file): 40,841. Hoping for 1-2 week timeframe. Keep same format (Word document file, not Google document).

Project Overview
I am seeking an experienced non-fiction ghostwriter to collaborate on a 20,000-word "how-to" guide for adults interested in documenting their family history. The goal of this book is to demystify the process, showing readers that genealogy is accessible, manageable, and—most importantly—fun.
The manuscript must avoid academic dryness and instead maintain a friendly, conversational, and light-hearted tone. Incorporating wit and humor is highly encouraged to keep the reader engaged and prevent them from feeling overwhelmed by the research process.
Scope of Work
The writer will be responsible for drafting the manuscript based on a provided detailed outline and source material.
• Word Count: Approximately 20,000 words.
• Timeline: 3–4 months from start to finish.
• Structure: The book is organized into 6 core sections:
1. The "Why": Understanding the purpose of capturing family history.
2. Getting Started: Practical tips for gathering documents, organizing findings, and recording facts simply.
3. The Human Element: Best practices for interviewing family members.
4. Beyond the Attic: How to expand research using census, military, and other public records.
5. The Final Product: Formalizing findings into a permanent, shareable record.
6. Appendix: (Note: I will be providing all content for the forms, charts, and checklists contained in the appendix; the writer’s responsibility is limited to the narrative text.)
Required Skills & Qualifications
• Proven experience in instructional or "how-to" non-fiction writing.
• Ability to distill complex research processes into clear, simple, and actionable steps.
• Strong command of a conversational, witty, and engaging narrative voice.
• Experience in book-length projects (please provide relevant portfolio samples or book titles).
• Ability to work collaboratively and adhere to an agreed-upon project timeline.
Deliverables
• Full manuscript (approx. 20,000 words) formatted in MS Word.
• Collaboration on chapter-by-chapter drafts to ensure the tone remains consistent.
To Apply
Please include the following in your proposal:
1. A brief introduction highlighting your experience with instructional or non-fiction books.
2. A link to your portfolio or specific examples of your writing style.
3. Confirmation that you can meet the 3–4 month project timeline.
4. Your preferred process for maintaining a consistent "voice" throughout the manuscript.
