...and wants to enjoy a paid vacation? (transportation not included) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=124314.0This event is in the preliminary stage, but would need a quality videography guy(s) to record all talks. A husband/wife(or other) team would be ideal. ~Bruno K~ |

How do you intend to go about the pumping the water out part? The pressure the plumbing has to withstand is directly related to the depth.
You'd need to hire some pretty rare to come by people to help you out with that.... My engineer, Pierre, is on top of that, and he assures me that it's not a concern. Without disclosing too much of MDM LLC's secrets, the water from the top of the well will be pumped out first. Our competition is probably planning on pumping the water from the bottom of the well first, but their attempt will be futile. We at MDM LLC believe they are planning on using the LadyByte Pump, whereas we will be using the NaNa Pump. So far, here is the list of people who have pre-ordered our diamonds:- Al the Alpaca (1-3" & 2-3.5")
- Nikki (7-4")
- Bitcoin100 (1-2")
- QUarkk (17-5.03")
- SunnnnnnY (3-201mm & 5-5")
- IamBOb (14-2")
All our diamonds can be traded in, given full credit for an upgrade at any time. MD Mines_Bruno |

Good news! I just spoke with Sheena via instant chat, and she informed me that John is handling the particulars and I should expect an email shortly. The cost for full use does include quarters for all the guests. Until this is confirmed, I'm leaning toward to having 160 premium lodging spots available, with the other 40 reserved for distinguished quests and speakers. See Post #2 for that list. ~Bruno K~ Located on the resort. One of the rooms: |

Well if MNW shows up I'm going skiing with him. dibs.  Nefario and Atlas should come too! But in all seriousness, I'd love to get to know the CoinLabs, BitInstant and other guys from successful Bitcoin ventures. At the event there should be [Will finish writing the post at my convenience lol] ... Looks like I got distracted and am posting this 5 hours after I wrote it. ah well I'll post more as I get more information from Paws Up. ~Bruno K~ |

The "Diamonds" in The Diamond Age are more in the realm of carbon quasi-crystals. The way to go there is research into grapheme and nano-tubes, a much more interesting concept.  From what I can tell, the difficulty is heat or the right amount of heat and pressure to enable the self-assimilation process of molecular structures. Anyway I think we are far away from ever building a matter compiler, at least if the current scientific consensus in physics remains the way it is. If you just wanna produce diamonds, there is no real limit to it's size except building a sufficiently large pressure chamber which is expensive to make (failure rate goes up the larger you make it) Solved!: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=124443.0 |

Forked from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=124413.0Let's see how cheap we can make the process: - Dig a 600 kilometers deep hole next to the ocean.
- Place carbon at bottom of hole.
- Fill hole up with sea water (no pumps needed).
- Wait.
- Pump out water.
- Retrieve diamonds.
- (no need to rince)
- Repeat.
- Profit.
Luckily, I'm the new guy over at MDM LLC (Monarch Diamond Mines), and we're currently taking pre-orders for the worlds first ever real synthetic diamonds. To prove that we are deeply (pun intended) commented to this endeavor, here's an image of an auger we're planning on purchasing once the pre-orders start arriving.  Yes, the above auger would not be able to dig a very deep hole, but it will get the hole started so that less time and money will be used once the bigger hole digger, operated by a certified deep hole digger, arrives on scene. The carbon will be sourced from discarded #2 pencils utilizing the 0.7mm graphite contained within, thus saving the environment, of which MDM LLC is commented to preserving. MDM LLC is registered in Delaware for tax purposes and because of its close proximity to the the Pacific Ocean. Any questions? MD-Mines_Bruno |

Are you meanwhileinaustralia@gmail.com? It says this is who registered the domain name and is also the person who registered cosbycoin so it stands to reason whoever created cosbycoin created this site. We all know its you. Or one of those shady alpacas you hang out with. I have proof The WHOIS record?   indeed. It couldn't have been me because I was out of the country at the time the domain name was registered visiting relatives. This is probably something somebody at BFL set up to make me look bad. ~Al the Alpaca~ I've never heard of Cosby Coin. Is that a new alternative coin? I guess I could search for it, but need to get to the Co-Op now to hunt some food. Douche Bag Coin (DBC) is ready fro cosbycoins collapse. You racist bastard! We all see what you did there. |

Starting happening recently? Right after the sun goes down? Could be the solar storm...
I heard there was an eclipse in town. Could that do it? |

^^ hahaha you may have gone a wee bit too far What part of I-didn't-do-it don't people understand? If I did it, I would say I did it, but since I haven't said I did it, I guess I didn't do it. Now the guy who PM'ed me and said he did it, is now back-pedaling and saying he didn't do it either. I just don't know what to believe. Whoever did it, has used Al's good name to register the domain and should be reported to ICANN. |

Seeing as this place is only 4 hours driving from where I live, I'd love to go at least for a day!
Great! The list of people is getting longer, therefore I better maintain a list in Post #2 of all who wants to attend. Any suggestions, Garr, as to what you would to see or hear at Tack & Tech: 2013? ~Bruno K~ |

 Curly: Do you know what the secret of life is?
[holds up one finger]
Curly: This.
Mitch: Your finger?
Curly: One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and the rest don't mean shit.
Mitch: But, what is the "one thing?"
Curly: [smiles] That's what *you* have to find out. |

(Poll Settings: 2 Max votes; Ability to change vote(s))
EDIT: To be clear, this is a serious endeavor.
Envisioned is not a conventional Bitcoin conference/expo, but a combination of a retreat meshed with speaking engagements and tech exhibits, not necessarily all Bitcoin related, yet loosely related. The number of days would be four--Thursday to Sunday, inclusive. That said, let's brainstorm this a little. I've already taken the liberty to contact the resort via email and look forward to their reply tomorrow. What I have in mind is not cheap, but if a vacation is planned around the event, the cost is easily offset. (EDIT: May not be as expensive as I fist thought--transportation may be the event goer's biggest expense)Location: 40060 Paws Up Road, Greenough, MT 59823 Activities at Paws Up: (EDIT: Listed to elicit emotions.)Archery
ATV Tours
Equestrian Lessons
Fly-Fishing
Geocaching
Horseback Riding
Hot Air Ballooning
Kids Activities
Lake Activities
Ranch Activities
Rappelling
River Adventures
Sporting Clays
Wilderness Workshops
Inclusive Activities Goals:- Up to
200 150(?) people will have full use of the resort for 4 days. - Talks, workshops, exhibits, etc., open to the general public (only limited due to capacity regulations).
- Top-notch videos of all talks.
- Notable speakers will incur ZERO expenses and paid
a small their nominal speaking fee to cover misc. - One talk each morning during breakfast, with 3-4 in the evening, each day (12-18 total).
(needs revising due to this morphing into a TEDx event) (EDIT: can not be a TEDx project)[/b] - Live band all four nights. (check in Thursday, check out Monday)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did MB go from being the richest Bitcoiner, securing his bitcoins for retirement to giving them all away to Wikileaks? Far out. So let me get this straight. You have just secured the ownership of the keys to 371k btc for USD$5k because the initial investors wanted out and can't be bothered to check current trading value of BTC .... and your wife is skeptical!?
That's epic.
As I said earlier, if you need to move large amounts contact me ... or have your wife contact me if she is still skeptical.
The initial investors never got the concept really. When I first started, when 1 BTC was basically $0.0001, the idea was to generate/buy as many as possible, then use it for payments. So if someone wanted a credit card that could buy $100 worth of stuff, they would insert X number of bitcoins to get that value loaded on the card. To keep the bank current, the credit card would be backed by Bitcoins at the bank basically. They initially though that 1 BTC would never get above maybe $0.20 per BTC, at least that's what I go from them. So they invested about $12k to either generated or buy bitcoins for the first part of 2010. My part was to simply compile some versions of bitcoin that could run on the Amazon cloud service. They rented a ton of CPU time and basically generated BTC non-stop for a while. At the same time, I was buying from members here (they probably remember me buying a ton from them) and then funnel everything into one massive wallet file. After funds ran out, so did the Amazon CPU time and me bugging members to buy what they had generated from the start. Then things sat in limbo for a while, long while. The project went bust and the people I was working with really still had no idea how BTC worked really. Soon, the project turned into zombie status and the initial investors (remember these aren't technical people in the least) though it was worthless or maybe just a fade that was dieing a quick death. Who am I to argue? That's when I offered a buy out back in Feb of this year and they took it finally. I think after a few more stories make it in the news about the BTC value, they will kick themselves for sure. Either way, I'm keeping my BTC in several secure places and the wallet files I'll make sure never touch my PC for security reasons. I look at it as a retirement fund, when I finally get tired of working the 9 to 5 grind, I can tell my boss to shove it with a smile Well, here goes a long spiel. Probably the last that anyone had heard from me before a few days ago was dated September, 2011 according to my profile stats. So it has been a long time of me just lurking around from time to time. I can't remember exactly when, but some story broke on the Internet about my bitcoin collection and shortly afterwards things got crazy. The first thing that happened was my inbox here at the forum exploded with people asking for a loan of anywhere from 10k to 100k bitcoins to start the next big market place. I had a few people message me here that they had been burned by a hacker or some website that had their wallet information and asked for anywhere from 100 to 1k bitcoins as a way to help them recover their loss. I always wanted to help people, but there is no well to tell if these were sincere request or just someone out to make a quick bitcoin scam. Some of those I did help people I did help just to be nice, but word must have gotten around quick. I had to step back from the forums for a while as it was a good place for people to chase me down. All the questions of what I would do with it or how did I get it, was I the one that hacked XYZ website and that's why I have so many, etc. Somewhere in this topic I think, is a another long explanation of how I came into possession of it all. Long story short, I was in bitcoin early when the network was small and basically used a lot of Amazon processing power to load up a ton of bitcoin miners all at once in their clusters (Amazon) using a custom compiled version of the CentOS bitcoind source files. Amazon had a big price difference between running a lot of windows sessions and running a lot of Linux sessions. Turns out, the Linux sessions were running kind of an old version of CentOS as well as I couldn't even get the compiled binaries to run. Well, a lot of money was spent to generate that chunk of bitcoins, but not so I could posses it all, there were plans to use it as a backing for re-loadable credit cards like service that had bitcoin powering it in the background. Needless to say, that project fell out due to (at least in hindsight) very inept investors. The project floundered and then finally as a way to get out, they (investors) wanted to see what they could sell everything for. It had cost a lot of real money to produce that pile of bitcoins, so I ended up buying it for dirt cheap (at least in terms that bitcoins really had no value to them). Maybe after the 7 year NDS I signed expires, the world will know who it was, but for now I can't name anyone or business. Once the market value was shooting up to space, the pile of bitcoins was worth a small fortune in theory at least.
A lot of bitcoins were spread around the community to help people at first, but it kind of got out of hand.
Ultimately, a large portion ended up being donated to wikileaks.org, so I'm certainly not the person sitting up top a large pile of bitcoins anymore. The rest went to paying off small debts and the very last of it was just recently donated to wikileaks.org again. I never had any intention of trying to crash the bitcoin market with a large sell-off as many theorized I would do. So sleep safe that there is one less person like me in the bitcoin kingdom. So, no matter what legend has built up, nothing amazing or exciting has happened to the bitcoins I once had. No buying a Country or purchasing Islands of the sort. Just trying to help out where I could instead. The only thing I have left is old screenshots and empty wallet files now. A large portion of my past time has actually been invested in the creation of an alternate digital currency for the last few years because I always thought there was a better way to do it. So that's where I spend all my time now, at timekoin.orgI was great to catch up with everyone though, hopefully the story wasn't too boring. Maybe not as exciting as some had hoped. |

was it the Alpaca?
Seriously, it wasn't me or any other one of my accounts. How many times do I have to state this? What do I have to do to prove that it's not me? Besides, I'm a Wordpress guy, and not a Bootstrapper. ~Bruno K~ |
