My wife and I were picking up after the cats, giving them water, food and changing the litter.
We need more info!! How many cats, exactly. And what are their names? How was the feline waste in the litter? (ie was it solid, moist, creamy...) Do you have pictures of the cats? Have the cats been known to pilot aircraft in the past (or in the FUTURE?) You should consider purchasing a battle-ready samurai sword to protect yourself from possible alien invasion. After viewing the following, you'll lean toward alien invasion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fujYoh0SXBs |

Well seeing as the convention center is less than a mile from my house, I'll be there  Is it just going to be panels, or will there be individual speakers, breakout rooms, etc? Moreover, whether all panels or not, is this the type of panel (or similar) to be expected at Bitcoin2013 shown in the following video?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poSouQFcb0Q~Bruno K~ |

Possibly to justify their upcoming 5 year guarantee: 2 X 3 = 5.  I think you need to check your math... My bad! 2 + 3 = 6  IFTFM! |

Interesting! I've included this submission in Post #2 of this thread. I like the big logo on the back though we need to start using the Ƀ symbol.
I like the orange Bitcoin logo more than the Ƀ.. or even just "BTC".. but then again T-Shirts might be the place to switch it up. Is the Ƀ symbol official? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_with_stroke B with stroke (majuscule: Ƀ, minuscule: ƀ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, formed from B with the addition of a bar, which can be through either the ascender or the bowl. It is used as a phonetic symbol to represent to transcribe the sound [β].
⟨Ƀ⟩ is also a letter of the alphabets of the Jarai and Katu languages of Vietnam, and is used in standardized texts in Old Saxon as well as in reconstructed forms of Proto-Germanic
The letter Ƀ has also been used as part of a proposed alternative symbol for the Bitcoin digital currency [1] |

From your website (Facebook) http://www.facebook.com/ATCEnterprisesInc/info ... About
ATC Enterprises, Inc. is a Baton Rouge conglomerate focusing on proprietary trading and investment. It also functions as a "parent" holdings company.
Mission
Our mission is simple: to provide the greatest return possible for our shareholders whilst practicing business in an ethical and responsible manner.
Description
As a proprietary trading and investment firm, ATC Enterprises uses its own capital to trade a wide variety of risk assets and financial instruments; this may include stocks, futures, FOREX (foreign currency), debt and bonds, physical commodities and derrivatives (i.e., options). These risk assets are traded on exchanges around the world (such as the NYSE or LSE). The company uses a range of specialized proprietary trading strategies and risk management techniques (and takes advantage of arbitrage opportunities) to earn consistent profits/returns from its trading activities. ATC Enterprises may also, at times, engage in various forms of investment. The company may, for instance, purchase real estate and properties, precious metals, stakes in investment vehicles (such as mutual funds, hedge funds, ETFs, et cetera) and other assets.
As a conglomerate and holdings company, ATC Enterprises focuses on the creation, development and acquisition of other profitable businesses. Of ATC Enterprises' most valuable assets, for example, is a small but highly capable technology and software development firm unofficially named "ATCWARE". ATC Enterprises both directly and indirectly funds and supports the growth and operations of its "child" companies or subsidiaries. We constantly search for new business opportunities; whether it is creating a new business to capture a new venue or acquiring an existing business to develop, grow and improve. ... yet you defend not using $10 USD of your own money to even register a domain name. And, all the activity shown to date with your newly founded enterprise centers around Bitcoin. Pretend for a second your name is Bob Smith. With all the evidence presented to date, would you seriously deal with this Aaron Carter? ~Bruno K~ |

Does anyone have any stories how difficult it is to travel to USA from europe? I have heard that the custom, security checks etc can be real pain in the ass. I would love to attend but I don't like traveling/flying that much, especially long waiting times in some custom queues...
I believe that if you fly into a regional hub, the wait won't be as bad. Why is that BitcoinTalk is the last to get wind of this? Not meant as a diss, but am curious.
I wondered the same. I heard about it on Reddit. 12 hours later, still nothing on the forum. 10 more and still nothing official. This really puts into question the forum's status as the go-to place for staying in the loop. Maybe TBF is just taking the time to troll-proof their announcement  . Hey, Lindsay was supposed to announce it everywhere, maybe it was just an error on her part. I believe this would fall in line with how NPOs will be funded in the future. It may be worthwhile for me to not only attend, but erect a booth and form a panel.
~Bruno K~
I would love to talk to you about this and making it happen. Ill PM you details once we finalize them Thanks <humor> Please don't tell us that Lindsay walks around with a chicken on her shoulders. I couldn't resist, and perhaps it was just an oversight. No harm! I look forward to your PM, Yankee. ~Bruno K~ |

Well my personal estimate is that they will do around 700 Mhash/Joule. So it looks like you don't disagree with me so much after all.
In any way, even if they achieved 700 Mhash/Joule, and do it late, this does not warrant you criticizing them as "bogus". 30% below expectation wouldn't be the end of the world. You and I have a different definition of this word.
If I buy a CPU I get a certain amount of cores which will run on a certain frequency. The same goes for graphic cards and any other microelectronics device. Companies deliver expected performance withing a very thin margin. Except for BFL It's their company policy to exaggerate their specs and yes we really seem to agree on that. Anyway: They this thread is about the January shipping schedule of all ASIC sellers which I say they will not meet. they are bordering on the chinese holiday season. one might not see this stuff until march. it is pretty easy to see this happening. If you're in reference to the FAB, Josh is already on record in stating that it's not located in China, and that the Chinese New Year is not a concern for delivery of chips. ~Bruno K~ |

OK.. maybe I'm missing something... can someone point me to one of his posts where he actually adds BTC to the gold/silver/oil triad? from looking at his site, all I'm seeing is that he has a bitcoin donation address... Sill a plus, but not exactly the ringing endorsement I was hoping to see... Title just says he got a wallet! Gotta have a wallet to get BTC donations  I think the OP is just assuming, and now I'm just assuming. The button on the home page is broken, linking to here: http://mogamboguru.blogspot.com/1iJrUKjj57WoUHqBVMTzpK5z1XZxq2jedSorry, the page you were looking for in this blog does not exist. Most the time I see such a button link to BitPay. ~Bruno K~ |

Being that the subtitle of the event is The Future of Payments, I believe this would fall in line with how NPOs will be funded in the future. It may be worthwhile for me to not only attend, but erect a booth and form a panel.

It costs money to buy a domain name, host a server, et cetera... and if I pay for everything out of my pocket and do it all myself there's no reason for anyone to get involved. This just goes to show how BAD scamming is in this community: you don't trust people who want to fight the scammers because you think they're the scammers (and everybody else is too)... I take that as a big confirmation that we need some change...  its more to do with the fact that in MANY countries have it so that charities cannot accept a donation until they are registered. businesses cannot trade until they are registered. and insurance companies cannot trade unless they are registered. your business plan loosely fits into all three categories. yet you request funds upfront before showing proof of work. i have invested in ESTABLISHED businesses and in businesses which show some actual assets like a website atleast and qualifications that their goals can be achieved. knowing that one man cannot change paypals terms and conditions or stop domain sellers from selling domains to scammers to create phishing sites. the chances of funding upfront is low. people are more likely to donate as a thank you for a victorious change to a companies policies. if you are unwilling to put your own money into the project, then why expect others to? a domain costs less then 2 hours of minimum wage labour. this is much like the many charities which ask for donations to change the world and only 1% of donations actually achieve anything. check out the bitcoins for goats thread as an example.. Exactly! (I think we crossed posted) |

[...] unless you run it very conservatively.
I totally agree. But any charity can be defrauded (*cough* social security *cough*).  You're asking for donations before you've created anything ?
Hm...

This just goes to show how BAD scamming is in this community: you don't trust people who want to fight the scammers because you think they're the scammers (and everybody else is too)... I take that as a big confirmation that we need some change... I think you made a grave error by posting the above. What Herodes may have implied as to what you should do at the very least, you kicked to the curb, using the excuse of not wanting to outlay a little bit of money for the necessities, then thereafter went into the discussing-of-scammers mode, trying to cement the idea that your endeavor is not a scam. For the most part, seasoned bitcoiners see right through this. Regarding the cost factor, we're only talking about the price of a domain name and monthly hosting. About $100 USD a year, whereupon you'll only have to shell out less than $10 for the domain name and host on HostGator for only a penny for the first month. Put in a little time to splash together a website, and then you would have had a few coins trickling in to pay for the next month's hosting fee. You have a great command of the English language, and it seems like you were in the process of getting a following, but you may have hit a snag with this noble cause. Case in point, you only had about a dozen feedbacks on your eBay account, with the last one being a negative tick, yet you were able to generate sales of Bitcoin items regardless as to why you receive it--you had pneumonia. Furthermore, it seems like there's a myriad of ATC Enterprises, Inc., entities throughout the nation, with you only recently filing papers to operate in Louisiana. ATC Enterprises, Inc. http://www.facebook.com/ATCEnterprisesInc/infohttp://www.facebook.com/ATCEnterprisesIncToday we submitted our filings to become a legally recognized and registered Type-S corporation based in the state of Louisiana. The process typically takes about 14-30 days to complete. We're very excited, and will soon be ready to "open the doors" and get started! |

I made a large order on Saturday, paid up, successfully completed... but the funds never came to btc-e. This is the second time it happened in like a week. Now they didn't respond to my emails.
Send an email to Charlie directly, he usually responds fast and with the solution. Rumor has it that Charlie, as well as the rest of the planet, will be out of pocket between the hours of 10PM and 2AM local time this evening. The earliest, and I'm only guessing here, is that you won't get a reply till next year. ~Cackling Bear~ |
