I wish I had better words than 'thank you so kindly' in cases like this, but I don't, so thank you so kindly, Garr. I'm sure Rassah will split the five coins up accordingly, with one going toward Bund. After posting this reply, I will surely link your name on both list. Anybody else on the pledge list want their name linked or change, simply let me know. ~Bruno K~ |

Bitcoin 100 is committed to sending the full BTC100 to Bund regardless of who or how much is donated to them via their or BitPay's Bitcoin address. I have updated the following page, giszmo and jsmithers: http://bitcoin100.org/about/partisans/I'm going to conduct a quick fund drive via PM. If memory serves me well, a member is only allowed to send 10 Pm's. If that turns out to be the case, luckily I have a couple or so other accounts I can utilize. I'll only be sending PMs to a select few on the list in the OP of this thread. ~Bruno K~ |

:/ my intent was to honor my pledge towards BUND myself but in a countable way and not via BitPay which hides the donations from the public. Anyway. Sending 1Ƀ to your address now. There is a public payment hash on the BUND site now (it was added earlier this week). It's still cleared via Bitpay but public for everyone who wants to do this public - see the top of http://www.bund-berlin.de/bund_berlinde/spenden/bitcoin-spenden/BTC_eng . It's probably the address Bitcoin100 should use to donate as well. Thank you, jsmithers, for your contribution and providing this post. Here's their address via BlockChain: http://blockchain.info/address/1BboU9QH4kcNeDqdr7xBUZ4GrFgfhNaVBdI will be adding your name to the list in the OP of this thread as well on the official site. Great idea! Good work!
Thank you, atl. pledging 1Ƀ for the BUND Berlin. I would prefer to send it to an anonymous donation address at BUND over using BitPay as theser public anonymous tip jars make the amount public and the organization more transparent but just let me know where to send the coin.
Edit: At this hour the forum is dead. Don't be surprised to get no reply. USA and Europe are sleeping now.
Thanks a lot, giszmo. I will be matching your donation. Nine more to go. Only need 9 people to pledge and they don't even have to donate anything. I'm not exactly sure what your concern pertaining to what address you want to sent the bitcoin to, but the address in my sig is what's used for Bitcoin 100. I have another option for you, and that's to PM Rassah and he'll provide you an anonymous address to send it to, whereupon he'll keep the transaction uber-private. Perhaps that's what you desire. Whatever you are conformable with will work. I hope I've addressed your address concern. ~Bruno K~ :/ my intent was to honor my pledge towards BUND myself but in a countable way and not via BitPay which hides the donations from the public. Anyway. Sending 1Ƀ to your address now. Thank you for the donation, giszmo, and my apologies for not fully understanding your desires. I'll assume if you still had an issue, you would have pressed it further until you received a satisfactory reply. I will updating the list(s) after I post this reply to reflect yours and Jsmithers donations. That makes two bitcoins I'm committed to donating toward this cause. Ideally, I would love to see eight more people simply pledge their support toward Bitcoin 100 so that I can contribute the full ten bitcoins. Anybody? ~Bruno K~ |

You could give people the world's greatest explanation of Bitcoin, but
it will remain a foreign, irrelevant concept until something tangible,
like a service that solves an immediate need is presented to them Given the above, let's then think outside alpaca pen, brainstormin' to the nth degree, musing as to what some of those immediate needs need solving. ~Bruno K~ |

...or are unwilling to point it out, all BFL threads regarding ASIC were dumped in the german off-topic forum.
You mean moved? I don't see many BFL-related deletions: - http://bitcointalk.org/modlog.phpYou learn something new every day. I never knew about that page, but now that I've seen it, I wonder what the following is all about: Remove topic: in topic #127515 by member #0
Remove topic: in topic #122581 by member #0
Remove topic: in topic #88418 by member #0
Remove topic: in topic #92052 by member #0
Remove topic: in topic #92373 by member #0
Remove topic: in topic #119534 by member #0
Remove topic: in topic #120947 by member #0
Remove topic: in topic #120951 by member #0 When I click the "member #0" link it shows that it's me. Is this true for everybody? Regarding the dozen threads moved to the German Off-topic section, I find that odd. Moreover, if I were German, I would consider such an act as an insult to the German people. There they have a section that can call their own and speak in their native tongue. Now it's just a dumping ground. Other ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=11.0) now ranks higher than the German section because of this action. Isn't it wonderful that we can opening piss off the Germans. The latest non-profit to accept Bitcoin as a donation option is based in Germany--Bund. Bitcoin 100 is having a very difficult time raising a few coins so that we can send to them what's been promised. I am so lost for words right now with the exception of the following to our German friends: Thank you, Germans, for being part of this community. I speak for a majority of the other members on this board when I say that I'm sorry your German section on this forum is currently being used as a cesspool (no disrespect toward BFL, for this could have been some other issue). I'm sure that in a short period of time you will no longer have to see/read the dozen threads in your section. I'm sure the action taken was just a mistake and the party(s) involved will make it right. Thank you, Germans, for your wonderful support in the Bitcoin community. ~Bruno K~ |

To prove to them that the task they were doing was not that difficult, I grabbed two bundles (four sheets) of 4' X 12' drywall and carrying them inside, placing them neatly on the stack that they barely started after over an hour on the site. I told them to not pull off the taps and to have a nice day.
That said, I wonder how the dialogues would have gone if the supplied picture in the OP featured a pimpled-face kid.
~Bruno K~
4'x12' sheets of 5/8" rock are ~180lbs if memory serves. That's beastly. Hats to you, pimply-faced sir. The four sheets I carried were 1/2" even though that particular project required both thicknesses. Recently I moved 8" X 8" X 14' pine and 10" X 10" X 10' oak beams. |

Would the scammer tag be removed once BFL ships?
I personally do think a scammer tag is warranted. It has been applied to others who promised something and couldn't deliver at the time, regardless of circumstance. For example, Nefario felt that his legal circumstance warranted his actions regarding GLBSE, and I kind of agree with him, but I also agree that him holding onto the coins and not distributing shareholder accounts warranted a scammer tag. Other examples are the PPTs that are paying back slowly.
The problem I have with BFL is not that they promised in June a delivery in October. At that point in time, I didn't really believe it and even made posts saying to expect delivery in March.
The problem I have is that a few months later when other ASIC vendors announced their products, BFL reiterated that their October date was solid. In my opinion, this caused people to not invest in ASCIMINER, and not preorder bASIC and Avalon, and instead go with BFL. In other words, BFL was pushing forward this statement to their financial gain. It's one thing when you are the only vendor in town, but when you are making statements as a means to block competition and get more money, then a scammer tag is warranted.
BFL really should have known that they would not make the October date by September. But we got statements about bullet runs and whatnot. The fact that BFL was making design adjustments as in possibly October, but seemingly as late as November shows that the initial slippage is not because of their fab, but because of BFL's design team. The fab can be blamed for this recent change in dates (to a certain point, BFL is ultimately responsible for their fab), but the other dates are all BFL.
For what it's worth, I think bASIC should also have a scammer tag. I don't get how they had a working prototype and suddenly have no design.
I've opt to quote the post, inferring a +1. This post makes sense. Full Disclosure: I have not voted in the poll prior, nor now, even though this post leans me toward a certain direction. ~Bruno K~ |

Japan. (He says it with courageous certainty!)
Either that, or Thailand....
Japan would be the most logical choice to state that that's where the FAB is located, for come the middle of January it could be claimed that the chips are held up on some dock (tarmac) due to the package setting off a Geiger counter. Post not quoted, but I have made the mistake before of accidentally doxxing individuals. Once, Josh was kind enough to bring one such dox episode to my attention, of which I concurred he was correct. Now knowing that doxxing can cause major harm, I will be more careful in that respect. Again, I currently have no ill feelings toward Diablo. ~Bruno K~ |

Once my two-sided chips are delivered from the FAB, my staff will be installing them into the two-sided mining rigs. The way ordering will work is that I will ship out a third of the rig to everybody at the back of the line first, then the second third to those in the middle of the line, and the final third to those at the front of line. Nobody has to pay until everybody gets their rigs. All chips used will be fully-full-full-fully-custom-custom fully. The FCC has already approved our chips and rigs, but there is a warning: Please do not put more than three in parallel like so:
They claim it has something to do buffering the whales mating calls during mating season in the Pacific.
FAQ:
Q: How are the chips cooled?
A: You're a fuckin' idiot!
Q: Was that called for?
A: Yellow, but blue will work also.
Q: When will you be shipping?
A: Minecraft.
Q: Purple.
A: Does anybody else hear elevator music?
Q: When are you going to address Bruno's questions?
A: My sockpuppets are now going to report this thread.
I am Furry, hear me roar!
The USB connector on our ASIC will be.... ON THE BOTTOM!!!!  Of course it's on the bottom because if it was on top and they were connected in parallel as so...
...doubling as a railroad spur, the connection would be severed by an oncoming train. The USB connector on our ASIC will be.... ON THE BOTTOM!!!! That's genius, the bits will fall into the cable much faster due to gravity.  And 6X faster on the moon due to 1/6 the gravity there. You can't get nothin' pass our asses. It was my grandfather's Kansas chicken that provided the feather that went to the moon to prove such a feat is fact. |

Angry neighborhood bastard mod here.
Earlier Phinnaeus Gage doxed the BFL people. This post has been reported several times. I have decided to not delete the post. I think BFL is at the very least lying to people and at the very most trying to scam people, otherwise they would have shipped the product already.
If you think I'm wrong and the post should be deleted, take it up with theymos. If you don't want unsavory characters like Phinnaeus Gage to dox you, then don't fuck investors.
I'm not sure to thank you or... In real life, I have never been known to be unsavory, but many a times been characterized as a character. I did have to Google the word dox to make sure it meant what I thought it meant. Luckily I did, for for real I was off by a mile. (I thought it had something to do with spreading FUD or the like) I am takin' aback that said post was reported several times, assuming the 'report to moderator' button was used. I've yet to ever use the damn thing with the exception of the first time I was banned, not sure what to make of that situation at the time. I also have never used the ignore button. Are there people here that are truly that messed up? Is this the reason Bitcoin 100 is having a hard time garnering donations for the current drive to support Bund? Allow me to state something: Everything I do, I do for the advancement of Bitcoin. And admittedly several times I've fucked up. Is it considered doxxing if I show that a Frans Effendi registered butterflylabs.com on 16-Aug-2009? http://www.websitevalue.us/www/butterflylabs.com And why does he go by a different name? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=129869 Who is he? Why was I first person ever to bring this up? Please don't get me wrong, Diablo, for I'm not upset with you, but I am worry that something is not right, and I'm not necessarily speaking of BFL. I don't even have a vendetta toward Josh. Please accept my apologies, all, for this tad rant. Peace. ~Bruno K~ |

The following is what I wrote on Zach's CaringBridge site: Hello Zach Your story was mentioned on the Bitcoin forum of which I'm a member. Thanks to that posting, I've met you through your lovely video singing Clouds. I'm a member of CaringBridge because I had a close friend who was a Vietnam Veteran pass a couple years ago due to cancer and his wife set up an account here for him. Just coming here brings back fund memories of him. But enough about that. The following is what's written on that thread dedicated to you: This stuff is just terrible ...I just wish bitcoin could play a bigger role with helping someone like this out .... Before I precede any further, I want you, and anybody else reading this, to clearly understand that I'm not trying to hawk any product, for Bitcoin is not a company owned by anybody. To hopefully drive that point home, I offer up the following: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/11/15/pay-another-way-bitcoin/That said, I founded bitcoin100.org, a charitable-type organization with a vision that all non-profits worldwide will never have to pay a processing fee or worry about credit card chargebacks ever again when they accept Bitcoin as their donation option. Because of you, I will now pursue childrenscancer.org, caringbridge.org, and also Amplatz Children's Hospital to hopefully have them start accepting bitcoins on their respective websites. If they do, approximately $1,300 will be their first donation from Bitcoin 100. I look forward to hearing more songs from you. Please consider, if you haven't already, putting a CD (if they still make those) together. I would purchase at least 10 copies as soon as it comes available. I'm 52, and my mom and dad both passed due to cancer. Their favorites songs were Loving You by Minnie Riperton and In the Arms of the Angel by Sarah McLachlan, respectively. I enjoy Lady of Dreams by Kitaro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLmaHefFoDsFor a living, I reclaim century old barn wood in Sandwich, IL. Feel free to contact me. I can easily be found via Google if you search for Bruno K and the word Bitcoin (or Phinnaeus Gage). Peace, bud. Bruno PS: I will be posting the above on the Bitcoin forum as well as on the Bitcoin 100 website's blog. The following image is of something they were recently selling to raise money for Zach's cause: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/zacharysobiech/photos/entry/num/3 |
