I couldn't comment on the last changes on the payment method and the other features of helium. we do encounter a lot of problems on the internet that it takes too long to upload just one single story .If you are lucky to load one story today ,you can never know when next the machines will accept to upload your writings again .the main problems have been the connectivity and other times ,it has been the technical problems ,the log in features some times jus can not open and we have no where to go except to wait for it to open again .You just keep on trying every time that you visit the internet until the next time that you will come across the machines working is when you will add another article on to your page .

That is what is going on and it is very far beyond our powers .We have nothing to do except to go with things they way that they can be possible to happen.

That is why I have decided to use this opportunity that the machines have given me to forward this complained about the changes that recently happened at helium. The new method of payment, that is the share that we get on our articles from advertisements, isn't good enough as they expected it to be .It says that you will be paid for your articles only if you have been posting articles on your page for the past ninety days only ,if not so then you will have to start from square one ,just like a new comer to helium. That isn't very good.

Some of the writers at helium are form very away places from America and there are many problems that could lead to a person not being able to satisfy the new rules at helium .Right now ,we are talking from Africa where we experience all sorts of problems about technology. It can eve take more than the ninety days to upload another article and ,I do not think that it would be fare to deny a writer his or her few coins that she might have made oh her or his page .We ought to continue with the old system of payment where by you can go own writing all your life and go on earning your coins forever .When die and leave this world ,or ,when you stop writing for one reason or the other ,the coins that will be coming in will go to you children or any loved ones as a will .It gives more meaning and weight to that act that we do at helium that just taking pen and paper and the placing together and then going on to write

I am in Kenya right now and I really feel that things should work that way .May the helium community look at this carefully and see what they can do about it.
