Summary of TopCoder

Because the whole year unit work is too busy, lead to have no time to play TopCoder. Take advantage of the first two months a little time and participate in 3 Java dev. Got two times second. It's not easy to get the first prize. Make a record maybe later friends can be less detours.

If you want a bonus you must fill out the tax form and post it to the United States (note that you must include your handle name in the letter otherwise they will think you have not), and TopCoder not be tax The form is not going to give you money and will not email you (I was just beginning to be silly wait). The postage seems to be more than 5 fast. No express delivery (the price may be nearly 200). It'll be there in about half a month. Next time you must send a letter with a nice little envelope. The last envelope I used was bought in Kraft paper at the Post office. Very earthy (always feel humiliated to the Chinese).

In addition to the choice of payment, for me there are two options 1 Check 2 telegraphic transfer

1. If you select a check you must provide detailed personal address information (Pinyin is OK, otherwise the Chinese postman may not know). The cheque will be mailed to you in about 10 days, and the cheque is mailed in a regular envelope with only one sheet of paper in the envelope. Oh (TopCoder check and corporate logo is very beautiful, praise. I made a special copy to keep a souvenir. You have to go to the bank for a light collection. The handling fee is about 40 RMB (20 handling charge 20 postage), if I remember correctly, the handling fee is collected by 2 (20). Because I am in Tieling, so the bank that may do foreign currency business is relatively few. So I can only choose BOC. The formalities are fairly simple. But it will take 1-2 months to get to the door.

2. The telegraphic transfer is simple. Send a wire to payment@topcoder directly to register the mail contains your account information on it. The handling fee is 20. It's just the dollar. It will be able to reach the households in about a few days. I will choose this way for future bonuses. If you think the fees are too expensive, you can let them save you a certain amount of hair. In addition, I chose to open an account in BOC, the reason is still because the city is too small, I went to CCB Consulting unexpectedly told me that I do not know whether to receive money (Halo), or BOC to do foreign currency more professional, give me a piece of paper inside write all the required information (English line name, address, etc.).
Generally speaking, the efficiency of TopCoder is satisfactory. Especially payment@topcoder efficiency is very high. Basically the next day will be able to reply.
After work, it's written here today. Oh.
