THANK YOU GUYS SOOOOOOO MUCH, I cannot even think of words right now. i was so frustrated for 2 days trying to think of a name and could not even come close. this means the world to me, all very great ideas i really like where they are going.

Nitrogen i totally agree with you on the gorilla marketing idea, I have had lots of ideas on how to move forward, but lost myself in aggravation for 2 days not being able to name it. I would really like to find a hand full of great bitcoiners and marketing brains to help me best spend some of the bitcoin to get the maximum result. Maybe a small army of people armed with knowledge to start going door to door to local businesses in metro areas and talking with local business owners to get them to accept bitcoin. Info packets, maybe a intro DVD. maybe i can get coinbase to help put something together, it would be free marketing for them anyways. I just got to settle on the name. what you guys came up with in just 30 minutes is 1000% better than what i could in 2 days at this point.

Thank you all again so very much.

I've decided its time to give back.

I have lurked quietly in the shadows of bitcoin for quite some time now, and i have came to realize that its about time i give something back to the bitcoin community. I have decided to use half my bitcoin ( about 3,300 coins ) to form a self funded organization with the sole purpose of helping to spread information about bitcoin to the world through mass media, local "troops" or small groups, a website, blog, billboards, magazine ad's, TV. and whatever else 3,300 bitcoins will afford me.

I AM NOT, WILL NEVER, HAVE NO INTEREST, AND WILL REFUSE ANY SORT OF DONATIONS. I have seen what happens when someone mentions taking donations in bitcoin first hand so please do not even bother asking, that is not what this thread is for.

What i do need, is someone to help me find a name for it. Seeing as the bitcoin foundation is already taken, i dont know where to go. Although i am very creative in terms of Media, graphic design, website design, and animation. I have absolutely 0 creativity when it comes to picking a name. 2 days now and i have scribbled down a page and a half of garbage names. I need any and all help i can get in picking a name so i can file the papers to incorporate.

Things i would like to see in the name;

1: The word Bitcoin, in its whole, people who dont know what bitcoin for sure do not know what a BTC is. so something like ________ Bitcoin, or Bitcoin __________
2: something simple to remember, I.E. if i put a web address on billboards down every major highway, i want the url to be easy to remember until the driver gets home.
3: something formal sounding that implies it is a non profit bitcoin organization.
4: Something original, i want it to be unique, not a spin off of a name someone is already using.

I know that not a single one of you really has a reason to help me, but i also know that there are some amazingly creative people on this forum, so rather than make up a bunch of convincing garbage to try and plea for help, i am just going to ask as nicely as i can.........

Please if you can spare me just 2 minutes of your creative mind i would be forever truly grateful.

So.... 10 pages of reading and i feel i am still where i started. i have been using Multiminer since there were only 2 pages on this thread, AND I LOVE IT. i recently just bought a bunch of antminer U1 usb's to add to my list of hardware, and for the life of me cannot get them to be recognized or work on multi-miner.

I have already FULLY uninstalled multiminer and BFG, wiping everything from the appdata folders and everything. Re-installed the latest release. re-installed all the sillicone labs drivers. tried every tweak i could think of. I see a lot of people who can get them recognized just not get them working, and i cannot even get mine to show up on the list of devices.

Is there any more official fix for this at the moment? if not, does anyone have any suggestions on how to run the Antminer U1's outside of multiminer on a different client without messing up all the hardware i already have running on multiminer?

Thanks,

I'm assume you are talking to me, and i fail to see what that has to do with anything? If you are trying to imply that my IP is the same as the OP then your way out on a limb which is soon to break. But i applaud your conspiracy theory mentality.

What did you have in mind Maui? Direct bank wire takes days to clear, I dont do paypal or other online deals, but i am open to others, Moneypack i guess, or whetever

Lol, so were back on that again are we? One makes an observation and instantly he is the OP. I never refuted anything other than facts that i could see as a new comer to the thread. Mainly i have yet to hear anyone say they got ripped off by the OP, or for that matter anyone who has claimed that he solicited Bitcoin from them. You can think whatever you want to think, just as i can observe what i want to observe. If we draw two different sets of conclusions then so be it. Personally i find your conspiracy theory logic entertaining, so at this point i find myself compelled to troll you more so than argue with you anymore just for some comedy.

I dont think that he was "revealed" a scam, i think it was just people accusing him of being a scam so dont feel too bad i'm still following it myself on that other site. So i must be the worst judge of character in history. Of course according to the guy half way up the page. I am him so maybe its not so bad. ROFLMAO

Amen to that Nightwatchman, I used paypal just fine for like 2 years, then about 5 months ago they froze $300 that a friend sent to me for selling him my old x-box 360 and i still cant get the money out. It seems that sooner or later everyone is going to get stung by them.

US bank at the moment, but if i need to get another account somewhere else i can look into it. it should only take a day.

Thanks Maui, Looking forward to doing business with you. Just let me know how much you need, i think WU has a $1,000 daily limit if i remember correctly.

If you have a US bank in your city sure. If not i would have to look into getting another account set up at another bank.  But either way i should be able to facilitate what you need.

I can sell when you are ready to do Wester Union again If Tomatocage escrow is ok? i already have escrow ready to be set up with him is why, where as i dont know of the other 2 escrows you listed.

I can sell you 4.5 with Tomatocage escrow. By cash deposit did you mean direct cash into my bank at a local branch or did you mean via wire transfer?

Anyways, i was already selling BTC with Tomatocage being escrow, so i have no problems with your terms, my thread got buried while i was gone for 2 days.

Hahahahahahahahahaha Missed this one the first time around, Really? 100% for sure are you now? I hope you never take up gambling as a hobby.

Ahhh, Ok, that makes much more sense now. Thanks Kouye! i knew i had to be getting lost in translation somewhere, thanks for taking the time to clear it up for me. 

Um, your a little off on the address there mate, its back on like page 4 or 5.   Hence the reason i was questioning the troll's posts from the other thread. Never mind, i dont really care, i was just stating an observation in the first place. Just seems a lot of people jumped to conclusions a little too soon. as a matter of fact it seems the OP hit the nail right on the head, dosn't look like it took more than two days for the scam, ripoff, trolling stuff to start.

?? is there something i am missing here ?? My BTC ? what? can someone please translate for me?

Sorry i'm new to this, what was deleted? Are you talking about the post on reddit? i think it got removed for begging after reading through the comments. Which makes it seem even more fishey that someone is able to publish an article claiming to be the original.

Ok, so i am new here and have been out of the bitcoin loop for quite a while now. But has the definition of scam changed in the past year when it comes to the bitcoin community? Last i thought, in order to be a scam, someone either had to have taken, or is trying to take something from someone without paying for it or in essence was stealing. It took me a while to read through all the posts in this thread, but CLEARLY the OP never asked for a penny from anyone, and as i read it only provided a donation address after a few people asked for it, and for that matter not a single penny was donated to that address as i can see unless i am looking it up wrong.

Also, after looking at the thread that finally pushed the OP over the edge, I hate to say it, but i would have been pretty pissed too, after about an hour of searching i could not find a single reference or post or even the slightest remnant of anything on reddit at all about the blog entry he was quoting or for that matter a single trace of any of what the troll was implying to be even remotely true.

I am no computer wiz, and defiantly not the most techie of people, but even i have the brains that if i wanted to seem cool bad enough i could post something on a blog, copy and paste someones address into it, then change the date and time that it displays when it was published then start to troll about it. I back date articles all the time on my blog that i didnt get around to publishing on the day the story was news, that way the date displayed and the date i am talking about in my articles match.

It may be just my opinion, but i am still entitled to one. I think a few of you went a little to far and jumped to conclusions a little to early, and worse chased off someone who seemed to contribute a lot of good information to this forum. It took me less than 2 minutes to find this thread with him helping dozens of people keep from getting scammed. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=399608.0
