Bitcoin Forum

Fellow bitcoiners (and especially old-timers and miners),

I have been working on a stealth-mode startup that, IMO can help take bitcoin to the next level and perhaps even to the mainstream.  Everything will be on the up-and-up, and all t's will be crossed and i's dotted from a legal standpiont.  I'm not going to divulge here, but needless to say, I would like to talk with any established bitcoin community member who has an unallocated 100,000+ BTC around.  Please email me at chaord.btc@gmail.com and we can set up a time to chat via phone, skype, gchat, or IRC.  I have an investment proposal that you'll be interested in both from its potential return and it's inherent benefit to the bitcoin community as a whole.  Development, legal necessities, and planning is already underway.

If this is something you are remotely curious about, please contact me.  It doesn't hurt to ask.  However, at this stage, and so as to not waste anyones time, I merely ask that you be a qualified candidate (eg large amounts of BTC and good standing).

P.S.  If you don't have 100,000+ BTC, but you do have a large amount (and especially, a low cost basis), please contact me anyway.  While, I'm much more interested in having a single partner right (don't want too many cooks in the kitchen), I'm open to other options.

P.P.S.  If you are not interested in working together and simply want to give me a quote for an off-market purchase (or agreement) of nominally 100,000 BTC, please do so.

[Edit] P.P.P.S.  If you are curious what we're up to and have 10+ hours/week that you can contribute in sweat equity, please contact me and tell me about your passions, skills, and a role you could see yourself playing.

Sweat? What is sweat in this context, exactly?

Does it differ from elbow grease? If so, how?

-MarkM- (Who does, indeed, have time to spend but is curious why to spend it on what exactly, and how...)

That's a lot of money!

"Sweat equity" is a legal term in some places. It means you work for a business but you don't get paid wages. Instead, you get a share of equity in the business.

Dear friend,

I am writing you to ask for help. Since the death of my father (former minister for energy affairs in Nigeria)...

etc.

Chaord is a reputable guy, but he's asking for a lot of money.

Thanks for backing me up.

Nope.  But you do get comedy points ;)

you would be planning to setup BTCBanCorp would you?

Nope

Why not a bond issue?
