I do applaud the effort that several folks put forth to organize and get on a path that would lead to resolution.
I do want to present a viewpoint/perspective that several of us have that prevents us from jumping in too deep.
In filing a complaint, you have to also give up much of your personal information.  You have to show/prove your investment to "the authorities" and that is an official record that can be used against you.  I just cannot go on record as an investor and the amount - not without a guarantee of results.
I do have many shares - I just wish I would have sold instead of riding it down. - I was really convinced that he was going to figure things out, re-organize and keep the mining and divs going using his own system. 
(I could have bought a few italian sports cars with the profits if I had sold - I have more than a handful of shares)

Maybe I am too optimistic, but I want to give him an appropriate amount of time to get his thoughts together and reconcile before more creative measures are explored.

HELP !!!

I have not ran my multibit.exe for a couple months.
When I did... I noticed my last payment from Friedcat was March 30.  Why have I not received any payments beyond March 30?
My shares were with BTC-TC.  when they went down, they transferred my shares to direct with Friedcat.  All has been well up to the March 30 payment.
Anyone else have this issue?
Is there a direct link or website address to the shares that Friedcat has?  Does he have an email?

Thank you !!

Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future.

No, that was Ralf that had his heart broken by Lisa.

It is all the Roth and 401K money "tied up" in corporate retirement accounts - like mine.   I cannot allocate my retirement funds to anything that is not on the SEC approved exchanges.
Once the ETF is in place, a great deal of money (billions?) is then available to be put into it.

I know of many others in the same boat... ready to put a % of the retirement $ into the Winkleviss ETF.
Many of us are NOT confident in the US dollar and have already put much of our retirement into precious metals, energy, etc.
It will be HUGE and will move the btc price.

Priceless !!!!   LOL  big time.  Brings back memories...

the winklevoss guys are speaking NOW

I agree, the runway is being paved (a very nice wide/smooth runway)

not sure if someone already mentioned it but Bitcoin was mentioned in two huge TV shows last week or so.
1. the blacklist
2.  person of interest

Yes, but isn't it true that when hyperinflation has happened in the past, it has been very quick and without warning?
Based on the articles I have read and the folks who are supposed to have done a good job in investigating such events, true hyperinflation will come almost overnight and almost no one will see it until it is too late.

I have not idea, just asking...

burma at 12 million?


okay, who wants to go in with me and buy burma?

I will be your man-servant.  Just provide me with a little villa on the beach for my wife and I + a little spending money.  We will even raise your children.
(note: if BTC keeps up, we can defer the stipend - may even have to look for my own country someday)

The only dreams I'm listening to are those of Hyena.  His were right on.

so there are 2 trains now?   Yikes !!!

Hold Me !!!

correction !!!!!
since my last money xfers, they stopped using Dwolla.   OOOOOOUUUUUUCCCCCHHHHHH   !!!!!!!!
don't know what to think at the moment...

 Deposit money through:
ACH from Bank ($2)
Money Orders (Free)
Personal Check (Free)

Withdraw money through:
ACH to Bank ($2)
USPS Money Order ($20)
Domestic Wire ($20)
International Wire ($35)

Whoa.  When did this happen?  I was about to use it for pulling fiat out.  I knew about the Gox/dwolla thing, but somehow missed it with Camp.   Maybe I missed the memo.   I may have to retract my earlier comments. sorry.

I just bought some at Camp.

Hey for everyone's information - they accept Dwolla and since I cannot use Dwolla any longer at Gox, I have been using it at CampBX.  Very easy and cheap once you have Dwolla set up and running.

I'm still experimenting, but the Dwolla/Camp combo is good for me so far.

Sent PM to tbomb when you first posted.
Please let me know if you did not get it or if you have issue with the request.  Thanks.

This will be so BIG that we (the bitcoin community) need an official weekly update from an insider? or someone who knows the progress of the approval process.
My biggest concern is getting busy and distracted on life issues and missing the announcement of the ETF launch.
I am serious... this will be huge.  Immediately, most of the working class, semi-retired and full retired folk that are searching for a place to put their large stash of 401k and roth money, will be buyers.

Just in my little circle of professionals, there is a very large amount of saved money just sitting in bonds and cash (guaranteed income funds) that is just looking for somewhere to go.  My peers are too conservative to get into bitcoin in its current "wild-west" environment, but are quite excited to hear that they may soon be able to invest in bitcoin with the security of the SEC/wall street.  Were talking about hundreds of thousands of US$ in just my little middle class circle of acquaintances.  I can imagine that if this is the case in just a small percentage of the US, especially once the media does its thing with it, we will have to prepare for a large step function in the price of BTC.

If anyone learns of a method to track and keep updated with the progress of this ETF, please share.  Maybe even a special email or distribution network may be in order.  Just a thought.

P.S. I am not real confident that the Winklevoss website will do the task of keeping the public updated and informed.  I am too suspicious that the information will be kept between "insiders" until it is too late.

New virus out there.
Encrypts your hard-drive.  You must pay ransom in bitcoins to unlock your machine.

I have not been able to confirm or debunk this article yet.

Definitely gets more public attention placed on bitcoin.

I would suggest all 401k to hold gold/metals and hopefully this new ETF.  getting out of anything tied to US$ might be a good idea.  The FED reserve is out of control and not accountable to anyone.  scary stuff.
