i think it'd be wise to start smaller - a lower priced physical item, that is. i mean that car is what, 50k usd or something? why not an item for a few hundred first, or a couple grand? maybe a big tv?
Exactly what I had in mind--smaller ticket items of value. The only way a bigger ticket item would work is if it was being unloaded at a cost below 50% its value. Upon writing that last sentence, I now need to clarify. I'm not advocating fencing hot items, though it would work. Seriously, I want part of this action, with all profits going to administering the new Bitcoin 100. i think it'd be wise to start smaller - a lower priced physical item, that is. i mean that car is what, 50k usd or something? why not an item for a few hundred first, or a couple grand? maybe a big tv?
Who's going to offer the prize? Not me  And it has to be quite big, at least $3,000 (155 BTC). I have both aspects covered, and it's prize s (plural). I'm leaning toward ~$100 minimum prizes, but a little lower would work just a well. And yes, offering a house is not outside the realm of possibility, but a new car would be more challenging to procure, though a quality used car, or a classic, is not out of the question. If I can't partner up with maxmint on this, then I would most definitely seek out edd, or go it alone, but prefer a partner to split the tasks, couple with having more cred for the project. The name of the enterprise will exclude the word Bitcoin, but Bitcoin, of course, is the only payment option available that'll allows the endeavor to function. All other payment options on the planet fall short for a myriad of reasons. ~Bruno K~ |

This is a weird topic.. Now i wait for a ton of insults  In response to the email you sent my crippled brother last week, he told me to tell Andy that that'll be fine. I was wasn't privy to the content of the email, but by brother was all giddy. |

I can't think of anything because I'd be lying. I have nothing to offer and no capability to build a website, much less set it up to work by receiving bitcoins and halting transfers until 6 confirmations.
But by all means, go ahead and try my idea.
If it works out for you please send BTC -> 1BYJKxpntNn6TZbM5M5CWkEb8vr8vDcBrr
Actually, my comments were all in reference to the Bitcoin Gem site. Is there somebody here who can program a similar site? |

Well I can't really think of anything besides my Magic the Gathering manabase collection, or the BTC themselves as a price, or ASICs  I can think of a myriad of products that would make this endeavor viable and, at the end, nobody can lose. |

Honestly, I desire the program, for I believe I can make it viable.

http://mars-one.comI wanted to donate but they don't accept bitcoins! How is that possible, arent they supposed to embrace great new technology? Of course i wrote them, that i would like to donate if they accept bitcoins! Please do the same! Spread the word!  Email them again, and this time tell them there's a $1,000 USD for them if they simply put the Bitcoin Donation Button onto their website. Further tell them there are no fees for converting BTC to their local currentcy. All provided by Bitcoin 100. ~Bruno K~ |

- Bitcoin Only
- No Refunds
- No Proof
In my country I heard on the news of a 82y old Lady making telephone scams, dude she had a better plan than you. However I will ask one question: You admit to having so many problems, so much work, yet you still find the time to post senseless comments every few hours in this thread.How is that possible? I once asked the very same question of some other fine gent on this site. His answer--master at multitasking (paraphrased). |

Let me start by saying I am a total newb when it comes to Bitcoin and this website. I am not a newb when it comes to running a business. My entire reason for even giving a shit about Bitcoin is the ASIC technology. I don't gamble, want items secretly in the mail, need to tip whores etc.
Maybe you aren't a newbie in the business, but you've still remained remarkably naive. Bitcoin is a new frontier; very much like petroleum exctraction was some time ago. Go rewatch Dallas or Dynasty on fast forward, but this time with understanding of the business undercurrent in those shows. At least in Bitcoinia nobody is kidnaping people's children, setting factories on fire, etc. Really, learn some history. eldentyrell named his FPGA bitcoin operation "Tricone mining". Actually go to the library and research the conditions which oil drillers had to accept to lease tricone driling bits. Yes, lease and not buy. Most of you calling themselves businessmen or customers are just whiners, wannabes or effete mamma-boys. Do you really think that you have it hard? <off-topic post with apologies> I knew a guy in Tunica, Mississippi, during my live poker years who made his fortune rebuilding/repairing tricone drilling bits in Texas. |

Original idea do not steal  How much are you willing to bet to take everyone elses money? The pot starts at 0+1(or X)BTC the next person can put in 2 or 3 BTC to take whatever the initial X is then someone may 'steal' the first bidders BTC by tacking on a larger ammount like Maxmint's BTC when the pyramid is unsustainable either of 2 things happens, the initiator of the pyuramid runs with the money or the last person to bid takes all the pot minus 10% which goes to whomever started the pyramid, as a 'fee' of sorts? In my head it made much better sense. But at least the prize is actual BTC not some 'gem'. I still say this is a viable endeavor, provided a physical item is the end result. Don't you think so? |

Bitpay has still not processed the withdrawl for MyRefugeHouse, and I don't think the director will promote it until they come through. I know bitpay has been busy, and they are looking to hire more people, but it would be nice if they could speed this up a bit.
The director is very happy since I pointed out to her that the bitpay balance is still in bitcoins, and that the value is almost $20 now. Just received another PM, Seth, from Steve. ...if they want the 50 BTC converted, I need an email from them and to confirm it with the email we have on the account. Please let us know if the previous BTC50 has hit their bank account. Please PM or call me if another issue arises. Now go get us another NPO, tiger! ~Bruno K~ |

I don't want to drop the ball on the NGO I am in contact with. So I want to have definitive answers for them soon. Bitcoin to Euro transfers via SEPA, frensh bankaccount.
What would guys suggest?
BitPay with 4% fees, hassle-free?
MtGox with 0.6%+1% fees?
Something different?
They are a registered NGO/Charity in France. BitPay didn't even reply to my PM and mail.
So I fear that asking BitPay to forward costs and fees to us will result in no answers too, and just steal more time..
For now, I don't see an alternative to a diy-automated MtGox account..
Ente
Ente email me personally please I haven't seen anything about this before tony@bitpay.comNo problem here, Tony. Thanks for looking into it. Later, bud. ~Bruno K~ thanks sorry since Wordpress our new signups and inquiries have increased by 200%. There has not been much time to respond to all the people asking for special requests. Thank you, Tony. I just wrote you an email. It is all fine if you take your time. Now that I know someone will get back to me I already am happy :-) Cheers! Ente Well.. Been almost two months, I would like to pick up on that again. edit: Bruno, would you be so kind and mention this to Bitpay as you are in contact with them at the moment? Else I try again with mail and PMs.. It seems like we have enough funds for some 1000$ donations. As soon as I hear back from Bitpay/Tony (or find a different reliable solution) I will try to finish it with the NGO I am in contact with. Ente Let's get moving on this, Ente. Currently, we have $7,259.31 USD in our coffers at today's exchange rate. That's enough to easily fund 7 NPOs?NGOs with $1,000 USD each. Since basically we're offering your NGO a $1,000 gift, the fee to exchange it to their local currency shouldn't be an issue. But it is an issue with Bitcoin 100's belief system--no non-profit should ever have to pay a fee to accept donations. The bottom line is that we would love your NGO to start accepting Bitcoin as one of their donation options. And we're willing to donate $1,000 USD in BTC plus an extra $50 in BTC to cover any cost they may incur during the transferring said donation to their local currency if BitPay proves to not be an option. I just sent Steve with BitPay a PM and I'm sure he or Tony will take another look at your unique situation. Would you be so kind as to drop me a line next Tuesday at the latest if this issue needs to be pursued further? I do understand that my suggestion will only cover the fee this time around, buy rest assure that in the future if fees are still an issue with further Bitcoin donation, the cost will be covered one way or another. This is another aspect of the new Bitcoin 100 of which I will soon cover. Bitpay has still not processed the withdrawl for MyRefugeHouse, and I don't think the director will promote it until they come through. I know bitpay has been busy, and they are looking to hire more people, but it would be nice if they could speed this up a bit.
The director is very happy since I pointed out to her that the bitpay balance is still in bitcoins, and that the value is almost $20 now. As you may have read above, I just sent a PM to Steve with BitPay to address this very issue. Meanwhile, Bitcoin 100 has $1,000 USD awaiting the charitable organization you bring to us, Seth. EDIT: Steve with BitPay just sent me a PM. The first BTC50 was sent to their bank on Jan. 10, 2013 and they should be seeing soon. Bottom line, they're on top of it now. Bitpay has still not processed the withdrawl for MyRefugeHouse, and I don't think the director will promote it until they come through. I know bitpay has been busy, and they are looking to hire more people, but it would be nice if they could speed this up a bit.
The director is very happy since I pointed out to her that the bitpay balance is still in bitcoins, and that the value is almost $20 now. Hope it doesn't reverse before you handle her transaction. It won't. Rassah just sent the final BTC18 to My Refuge House. https://blockchain.info/tx/6b7d65657e5da0838561ba92919feba8c192409521ad2d5b2057e2493355e1b4Another post forthcoming. ~Bruno K~ |

Maybe I'm tired, but I'm not sure what argument you're trying to make. You clearly know that the price increases only 10%, and you're using an example of it doubling, but to what end?
No, not doubling, just going up by 10% each time. We start with 1 BTC. The next price would be 110% of 1 or (1.1) * 1 = 1.1. The next price is 110% of (1.1) * 1, or (1.1) * (1.1) * 1 = 1.21. The next price is 110% of (1.1) * (1.1) * 1 or (1.1) * (1.1) * (1.1) * 1 = 1.331, etc. ... That is, the Nth price is (1.1)^N. Make sense? At one time, I would have seen the light without it even being brought to my attention, as you so kindly done, hackj. And to think I got a perfect 800 on my SAT in math. After careful thought, this project is still viable, albeit needs tweaking. I'll come back to this at a later date. |

I'm just goin' to leave this here: By the regulation, the FCC DoC certification mark is mandatory for devices classified under part 15 (IT equipment like computers, switched-mode power supplies, monitors etc., television receivers, cable system devices, low-power transmitters, un-licensed personal communication devices) and part 18 (industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) devices that emit RF radiation) of the FCC regulations. |

In china they don't sue you.
They simply send someone to visit you. They are more practical.
No problem here. They'll have my address. We keep the doors unlocked. There are no guns in this home. There'll more than welcome to come by unannounced, but with a courtesy call, I'll make sure to have tea ready. |
