Printwiser Estimating 10.0 Capital/Energy Estimate Summary Format Upgrade

Posted by admin on 2024-05-07 16:43:46 in Announcements (534 views)

Introducing, the Printwiser Estimating 10.0 Capital/Energy Estimate Summary Format upgrade, effective April, 2024. It introduces three new variables in computing the cost price, working capital cost (to cover bank interest on funds), energy cost and sales discount, to better meet the changing economic environment. Energy cost could have previously been represented by a rarely-used charge like excise duty, but is now properly represented on its own. Both working capital and energy cost are calculated as percentages of production cost. The upgrade introduces new formula for calculating some items, some new terminology on the estimate summary working sheet, includes working capital list and form for interest calculation and prorating, and a new hard/limp cover estimate summary report format.

Introducing, the Printwiser Estimating 9.0 Flexible Estimate Spreadsheet upgrade, effective April 11, 2022. It features what most estimators have probably been wishing for, the ability to combine the estimate summary and detailed working sheets into one simple spreadsheet format, one that readily exports to a spreadsheet file. Not only that, you get the option to choose just the columns to show in the spreadsheet. Another useful feature is being able to set up access shortcut to standalone backup databases and copy estimates to and fro directly.

The new SFI, 2024 edition!

Posted by Lemeechi on 2024-06-02 17:07:08 in SFI Diary (349 views)

Few weeks back, SFI began preparing affiliates for a new system that had been under development for months. Its login page changed. A countdown in days, hours and minutes began showing atop the home page. The BizQuiz daily question got suspended, pending the new system. Even a “sneak peek” video was made and put on the site for people to see what was coming. Finally on June 1, 2024, the system went into effect, a more simplified one, focused on sales of its ECommergy e-commerce library. This has the potential of providing affiliates commissions from $5 to $70 per sale.

The most significant change in SFI of 2025 is, no more dollar commission payouts. That ended in November of 2024. Now, it is all about Rewardicals, in terms of what affiliates can get. The next is a new “flagship” product, Fun.Money, that offers “4-in-1” access to Eager Zebra Games, ECommergy, Elevation Mall and SFI itself. Rewardicals are basically benefit points obtained a number of ways, including FDM memberships, Eager Zebra Games, Badge Quest, Daily Grand and Daily Crown drawings, and more. You can then redeem or exchange them for Bitcoin, FDM memberships, ZCredits and other items.

Rewardicals can now be exchanged for Bitcoin

On February 18, 2025, Gery Carson announced at the SFI Forum the return of Bitcoin as an option for exchanging Rewardicals. With an exchange rate of 1,500 Rewardicals per US dollar, a minimum of $35 would be required before an exchange could be done.

My fastest sighting of 2 white foxes in HIDDEN

Posted by Lemeechi on 2025-02-13 06:00:29 in SFI Diary (72 views)

When playing HIDDEN, sighting a white or albino fox at the end of a winning round is usually a rare thing indeed! But something amazing happened on February 9, 2025. The very first fox that showed up after completing the very first word of game 6300700 was a white one. Not only this, another white fox turned up after the second word, making it two whites in a row! This happened within seconds, and so it turned out the day I sighted the pair of white foxes the fastest.
