Also, why the hell do you keep changing your avatar randomly ? A psychiatrist would probably suspect that you have some kind of mental disorder as you are so unstable that you cannot decide what avatar will reflect you best. |

hi Bruno, this was probably pointed out before, but Poverty is the worst form of violence.
~Mahatma Gandhi
Meanwhile, millions of souls go hungry–every night–on this beautiful planet we all share. Bitcoin 100 won’t solve this problem (or any other for that matter), but nor would all the non-profit organizations, whether working alone or in concert with one another, produce significant results. Is pretty pessimistic. When I read this on your "About" page, I wonder why I should pledge any money, when it wont change anything (and is not supposed to change anything?) in the first place. Pls consider to rephrase what you wanted to say here. Just my advise. Anyways, thx for your efforts! Excellent suggestion, Spek (can I call you Spek, for it would've taken too long to type the full name, for I'm pressing for time?), and will address that concern. ~Bruno K~ |

Doesn't necessarily depend on place, but on your search history and how Google has YOU indexed. An 18 year old who's never searched for anything related to finance prior, would be lucky to see BTC on the second or third page. |

And Fred didn't mention it on his Twitter account because...? https://twitter.com/fredwilsonAnd Fred uses Fiddle to announce something epic because...? Don't get me wrong, I favor the idea, but present it via a standalone CMS. ~Bruno K~ |

LMFAO
his username is "nefario" for fuck's sake!
Surely he wouldn't try to pull something "nefarious", would he?
Surely he would have behaved better if his nick were "Santa Claus".  No, but if you indicate that you revere/respect/admire "evil", you already have a moral compass that is a few degrees off. If you use that as a professional monicker, it demonstrates that you have a poor perspective as well. While I would say "Santa Claus" does not signify positive or negative bias, "Nefario" does at least mildly signify a negative or destructive bias. Unless you've been goxed or zhoutanged, that is. |

I forgot to mention that your wearing apparel should be such that you're showcasing your moose knuckles and crown jewel, even if you have to augment them. |

creative ways to come back from rejection Don't put yourself in a position to get rejected. As you carry on more and more conversations with her, make sure you're really listening and not just hearing her. Never interrupt her when she's speaking. During the course of the conversation, somehow takeaway something she mentioned, but don't elaborate on it. I'll give you a real life example. One day, me and girlfriend went to an upscaled mall to do some shopping to augment her wearing apparel. After parking, then proceeding to the entrance, she abruptly stops, and with excitement picks up a dime. A quick exchange pursued whereupon she said, "You don't know about me and dimes. Dimes are like power pieces to me." (New Age lingo) I replied with an, "Ah!" Come the following day, I entered our bedroom where she was putting on her shoes. I stopped her from completing that task and told her to wait a sec. I left the bedroom, closing the door behind me. Shortly, I returned and told her to close her eyes. I led her barefooted from the bedroom to the hall and walked her to the living room. Then I told her to open her eyes. What she saw 360 o were a hundred dollars worth of dimes laying on the floor in the entire apartment with the exception of the bedroom from where we started. Immediately, she starting crying (I guess so did I). That's how powerful dimes were to her. That's how powerful listening to what she says is. Later that night, I received a well deserved piece of ass preceded by a blowjob one would die for, and it all started with some stranger losing a dime. In normal conversation, your lady friend may state that she likes such and such flower. Register it, and surprise her with the biggest batch you can afford. But don't make the mistake of asking her what flower she likes, then going out to buy a couple of them. She's already rewarded others via that approach, thus the surprise factor is already used up. If she's wearing perfume, simply tell her that smells nice and you like it, without asking her what it is. The chances are good, she'll tell you the fragrance. When she does, don't elaborate, but do retain the info. Think of it as a game. I'll assume you know how to play games. The goal is to win her without her knowing that she's being gamed. At the end of the game, please report back to your friends here, going into great detail about the epic blo.... Whatever you do, don't tell her about you being a member of BitcoinTalk or what you're pseudonym is, otherwise you're going to wake up one day while she's giving you a coffee edema. ~Bruno K~ |

The way I see it, only one of the board members of The Bitcoin Foundation (TBF) may need to get paid at this juncture, and that's the lead developer, Gavin. The others seem to have a viable income source to sustain their livelihood, albeit I believe Gavin's wife does bring home some bacon with her career, but that shouldn't necessarily enter into the equation. The sentiment has been echoed many a time that nobody at TBF should get paid, therefore save that discussion for another thread. What I'm asking is what dollar amount are we talking here, for I may have a solution, but need to know if what I have in mind is viable? Gavin has proven himself (I believe) to be a straight-up individual, and should be able to address this delicate question in a somewhat straightforward manner. My guess is no less than $30K USD a year, and no more than $50K USD a year, but if for some reason the sum is considerably higher, it'll still be doable, but at this penning I don't personally see it approaching $100K USD a year unless I'm missing something. I look forward to the replies. ~Bruno K~ |

This time I don't have a leg to stand one. I (Bruno) take full responsibility for the inaction of Bitcoin 100, offering up no excuses. That said, if in 30 days we (mostly I) do not obtain a charity to accept Bitcoin as a payment option as outlined by Bitcoin 100 terms, then by all means all funds currently on deposit should be returned to those who've donated. CornedBeefHash, among others, have been more than patient in this regard. Somebody, please quote this post for posterity. Meanwhile, I have a letter to pen, for I have a charity in mind that just might add Bitcoin as a payment option to its donation page. Thank again, CBH, for bringing this back to the forefront. ~Bruno K~ I strongly disagree. We now have everything set up: Webpage, publicity on bitcointalk, donators, even our first success! Even if we don't find NGOs accepting Bitcoin donations in the speed we like to, any additional NGO found will help our cause. So even if it takes months for each additional NGO, I say lets do it! Noone here will be shouting if no immediate success is visible. For me, my small bitcoin pledge is a donation anyway. If, after years and years, we have no single success, we might discuss returning those single bitcoins. But now? Why introduce unneeded pressure now? On the contrary! We now have a much better situation than when the whole Bitcoin 100 started! When approaching NGOs, we can point to two high-level politicians accepting bitcoins for donations. The use and infrastructure around Bitcoin is stronger too! And, as a idea I got some time ago: How about we, you Bruno, join efforts with The Bitcoin Foundation? Writing as an official of TBF, or as being controlled/reviewed/authorized by TBF, or just as a member of TBF, will make the initial letter and Bitcoin in general look more reputable. I know about the pro-and-cons debates about TBF. I know that the whole idea of being "authorized" by TBF is laughable. I am just thinking that Bitcoin 100 and The Bitcoin Foundation have a lot of overlap and would profit from each other. And, as I am sure, have the same goals too. Ente The bottomline is that I needed a well deserved kick in the ass to get Bitcoin100 back on track. CornBeefHash was just using his foot to get me to act. I penned the 30-day-this-or-else post to make sure I felt the kick strong and hard. Now it's time for me to produce. In the last few months, I've spent way too much time chasing teenage Chinese boys, pirates, butterflies, etc., nearly to the point of getting depressed about Bitcoin's future. But now it seems the excitement is back across the board, and I'm back in the game. I have a viable for-profit idea up my sleeve and feel it's imperative that something positive continues to emerge from Bitcoin100 so that later when said entity goes live, it doesn't come across as another-Bruno's-trying-to-do-something-but... placemat. As far as your noble suggestion of joining forces with TBF, I have to say that at this stage it's not practical. But further down the road, as Bitcoin100 earns its salt, most definitely that option may be explored. I am toying with the idea of somehow getting the lead developer paid via other means besides funds donated/paid to TBF. In fact, I can easily do it through the for-profit entity I have in mind. The only thing I would desire to know is what dollar amount--yearly--that would consist of, believing I can provide said funds. Thank you kindly, Ente, for your support. ~Bruno K~ |

Has anyone gathered a list of domain registrars accepting bitcoin?
I, too, desire to see such a list. If one hasn't been created, hopefully you, m@x, will maintain the list in this thread, info gleaned from any posts here within. ~Bruno K~ |

Where / when / I want to meet you guys. I live here.
MEET HELL! Record a video. (and make sure Yankee looks at the camera and is wearing a Bitcoin tie--and cut for high card at the end of the video, showing the paying off to the winner via a smartphone) |

It's actually a very old joke. "Donna" is probably an employee of the station, and this is a Publicity stunt... which clearly worked.
Interesting theory! DJ: Thank you for calling WSCK. Rarity: Love you guys! My question is how come in all the years I've slowed down at the Caution: Kids Crossing sign, I've never seen a goat? The final straw happened yesterday when my niece wanted to see a goat, so we jumped into the car and went to said site, all the while singing Mary Had a Little Lamb and that Doe a Deer song, hoping that would bring out the goats, but no joy. We did see a wolf, though. You don't think... DJ: Are you related to Donna? Rarity: Click! |
