Title: An invite-only legal forum Post by: ripper234 on August 07, 2013, 09:28:05 PM This Legal forum is great, really - keep up all the good work.
Still, I am wondering whether there is demand for ... something a bit different. I'm thinking of creating an invite-only private forum (Google Group) that has a high content to noise ratio.

Title: Re: An invite-only legal forum Post by: MSantori on August 07, 2013, 10:29:13 PM There is an extremely high signal to noise ratio in the Bitcoin Foundation forum, where we are always discussing legal issues. I recommend posting there.
Of course, you must become a member first, which is .23 BTC. That self-limiting characteristic is likely why the ratio is so high :) (Full disclosure, I am Chairman of the Foundation's Regulatory Affairs Committee, so I obviously want people to join) Title: Re: An invite-only legal forum Post by: ripper234 on August 07, 2013, 10:45:22 PM There is an extremely high signal to noise ratio in the Bitcoin Foundation forum, where we are always discussing legal issues.

Well thank you very much :) Title: Re: An invite-only legal forum Post by: ripper234 on August 08, 2013, 04:15:37 AM Yes let's make so people have to pay for information. Invite forums and closed groups hurt bitcoin more than helping it. Especially in the legal nature. I see your point. However, this forum is to noisy (has too many posts per day), and as a result few people actually keep track of everything that's going on here. Limiting the audience able to post is a good way to keep only serious contributors. We can post any relevant information that is generally useful back to this open forum. Or perhaps, if we find a technological solution, we could have it open for public consumption, but require a Bitcoin fee for posting.

Limiting posting is different from using the bitcoin foundation forums, which are completely closed. I agree there is a lot of noise here for some issues, but I don't see the legal area being a part that is affected by that noise.
