There has been some confusion on the name. His name is "Fayçal Hanneche" but I have accidently written it as "Faycal Hanneche" on the sticker. The letter "ç" does not exist in Scandinavia where Fayçal has lived for many years so he has "internationalized" his name. The "international" version is Faysal, not Faycal. Faysal is also what he prefers.

Hold on right there! In the PM I sent you, I proved that I have known Faycal since 1999 when I was 12 years old. We both lived in Norway at the time. At this place: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Cross_Nordic_United_World_College

All this is included in the PM that I sent you. Did you even read it?

I have also answered your question on the ambiguity of the names to the best of my ability.

Check the PM that I sent you and all the replies and have written on this. I sent the same PM to "bg002h" from this forum. And he was able to use the information in the PM and a correspondence with the coindesk journalist to validate my claims. I have probably made some mistakes too so there is no reason to apologize. BUT. Please stop asking questions I have already answered. I have better things to do than sit here and press F5 in order to prove my honest intentions.

Goal reached! 15 BTC donated to 1Gt1anYr6gEuiNgacFouhy4RUNQFH3YY9Y. Donations are still accepted though. Now it is up to Faycal and the ones responsible for bringing the flag to him in Cape Town.

Thank you for settling this. I appreciate your enquiries.

The latest update on the mission is that it has been delayed for one day due to bad weather on the Novolazarevskaya Station in Antarctica.

Foxpup is correct. I am a physicist.

I have sent you a bunch of personal information proving my connection to Faycal along with my contact information and instructions on how you can confirm my claims through the coindesk reporter who interviewed Faycal by email, Richard Boase. This should confirm that Faycal is onboard with this.

Regarding the srsmoney.com domain vs. the siriusmoney.com domain: srsmoney.com is being outfased but is currently registered at Jakob Høppermann who is a former partner in my company. He is now not involved with Sirius Money. Proof that Jakob Høppermann has been involved with my company:

Regarding the spelling of Faycal's name, I have no idea why there exists an ambiguity. Maybe it is a non-western name which can be translated in various ways just like "Peking" and "Beijing"?

Faycal does not have the private key to 1Gt1anYr6gEuiNgacFouhy4RUNQFH3YY9Y, only I do. In the 1st post that I wrote on this, I requested an escrow (because I know the paranoia of the Grand Old Men of this forum) but none came forward so I took it upon myself. I run a Bitcoin broker business and my credibility in this community is worth a hell of a lot more than 15 BTC. Excuse my French. Besides, if there is time, you can contact Faycal and ask him if he trusts me on this.

You are welcome to dig as deep as you like (should be fun) but keep your accusations to yourself. They are potentially very damaging.

The only mistake I have made was not to sign the donation address but this address was first published in the Coindesk article so I thought that that added credibility/validity to the request.

Roger. I am in control of that. Does this work? Worked it out on Blockchain.info.

Edit: Since these are Faysal's money, I will administrate them as he tells me to do. For any enquiries on this, I can prove his wishes if needed.

I have relayed the information that I can. This is out of my hands now and up to the community.

Flag can be carried to the South Pole provided that it is delivered in the reception of the hotel RADISSON BLU HOTEL WATERFRONT, CAPE TOWN: http://www.radissonblu.com/hotel-capetown before Monday evening, November 4th. And provided that Faycal survives and that this mission is a success.

The flag has to be delivered in the reception of RADISSON BLU HOTEL WATERFRONT, CAPE TOWN by Monday afternoon (November 4th).

Thank you for your help! I have updated the OP to contain the most recent information.

Quoting for historical purposes. The end of the Gox era. Respect. And good call on the name change.

It is never a good time for the sht to hit the fan. But the longer Bitcoin experiences organic growth, the better.

Hi

I was hoping for some input on what you thought was the best merchant solution for a bar. Is it tablets with Mycellium installed, would it be better to use an online wallet like blockchain or are there other options where the bartender/employees can see that transactions are on their way to the wallet owned by the bar?

Should the bar use one or multiple addresses?

Sincerely,
Sword Smith

Hei

Jeg er dansk og bor i Danmark, og jeg trenger hjelp fra en person i Oslo i morgon. Det handler om at hente noen klistremerker hos Allkopi på Grenseveien og levere dem på togstationen. Jeg betaler den som hjelper mig i bitcoins.

Kontakt mig på +45 27294729 eller på sales [at] siriusmoney.com

Venlig hilsen
Thorkil Værge AKA Sword Smith

Edit: Dette er en hastesak og du kan ringe når som helst.

You know us Scandinavians. We are a bit liberal when it comes to these things

I am glad to hear that the trade was satisfactory. Thank you for your feedback and feel free to come back anytime.

It is always nice to read your long elaborations on monetary theory and history. Thank you for sharing!

A flag could be amazing! But who has one? Does one exist?

The deadlines are November 1st for a delivery in Norway and November 4th for a delivery in South Africa.
