Wow, that's pretty awesome! Not to mention Montreal is only an hour and a half away, so visiting isn't really a big deal  There are certainly a number of things you could do with 3 floors worth of space...hmm... We will have a big meetup sometime soon when we have a good plan and something worth showing off i'll add you to the bitcoin montreal meetup mailing list to keep you updated |

How should be organizes the street floor and the 2 other floors? IMO, Jake's vision is the way to go, The street floor we have a "bitcoin help desk" ( a place anyone can walk into and ask questions to a professional behind the desk ) maybe we want to allow customers to buy and sell bitcoin here? maybe we want to sell bitcoin related products here? The second floor is a lounge that is open to all bitcoiners, this is where we kick back and have a few drinks as we talk about the endless possibilities bitcoin offers. maybe we want to have some events happen here open to the general public? The third floor is the office space where bitcoiners come to work! I work from home and its a bitch sometimes having the kids constantly distract me, maybe I could be allowed to work 9 to 5, 5 days a week in the building  |

Would love to do it here in NZ, would require substantial funds though.
I feel so fortunate that its happening in montreal, since I live nearby.  |

goto the Official thread Coming soon to montreal The Bitcoin Embassy!  Thanks to a generous person who will remain anonymous for the time being, We have been given a building that we hope to convert into a " Bitcoin Embassy ". With three floors to do with as we please, we hope to organize the space to make it easy and fun for people from all over the province to come and learn about bitcoin, as well provide an office space for bitcoiners to come do in order to start bitcoin related projects, so they can work closely with other bitcoin entrepreneurs, to develop exciting projects that will utilize bitcoin in new ways! We are still in the early stages of development, but we hope to open our doors ASAP! With that said there is much work to be done in a short time, we welcome any and all ideas from the community at large, if you had to build turn a building into a " Bitcoin Embassy " how would you do it? Many questions that need to be answered: Is the title " Bitcoin Embassy " appropriate? How should be organizes the street floor and the 2 other floors? What will be our main mission? What kind of services do we want to offer? ( BTC / CAD exchange ? ) Building policy? (There is at least 21 million other questions, but this is a start )We welcome any and all ideas from the community at large, if you had to turn a building into a " Bitcoin Embassy " how would you do it?

as was said, the best way to store bitcoin is on paper. please make sure you secure your bitcoins saving this way https://www.bitaddress.org/ <- BTC paper wallet generator http://liteaddress.org/ <- LTC paper wallet generator please use the following steps go to the website click "save page as" in your browser's file menu save the html page to a usb device remove the internet wire to your computer re-boot your computer with a live linux CD plug in your usb and load the html page you saved generate your paper wallet and print it out then send the bitcons or litecoins to the paper wallets DONE! this is the paranoid way to create secure paper wallets. I recommend booting with a live linux CD because this way their is 0 chance some malware or keylogger could see & steal the paper wallets you generate if you don't know how to burn a Live Linux ISO on a CD and then boot from that... unplug your internet, generate your paper wallets, print, and then reboot b4 for connecting to the net again. ( this is probably sufficient ) there are many options to securing your coins, this is the way i do it... barin wallet is another very secure way. ( if done properly, with a strong password ) also see http://www.piperwallet.com/ for a supper easy way to create paper wallets. |

To me, it looks like it is going down now.. Many of the bulls think speculatively that by selling now, it is easy to buy back later. While this thinking is wishful (not all of them can buy the coins back - sub-100 or even at all(!!)), it is enough to take the price down in a long slide to around $50.
Only the growing usage will save bitcoin now. It may take months before it catches up. We are 2 months to the bear market now, I would not be surprised for 2 more months. 4 more would be a surprise.
Don't sell your coins. In 2011 only the ones lost who sold. I bought about BTC5000 then from somebody who could have held onto his treasure but chose to throw it away for a pittance. Read my threads (links in the sig). Don't sell.
You can't be sure the guy who sold you 5000 Bitcoin didn't buy double that back at the bottom. Maybe he did, but not in a lump sum so there isn't a rally? It makes sense for him to keep the downtrend going until he is almost out of fiat. Yeah, somebody did buy thousands of coins at the final capitulation. If there is one in the coming weeks, be sure to have your $$ ready. You're given one chance (if any). Even though I feel bearish, I still know the only sure way to get fiat out Mt.Gox is to buy bitcoins with it. So all the money is still there, and (real) asks are disappearing. My bearishness is also partly because of my living condition. you're a bear now wtf did they do?  lol MtGox can do wire transfer to anywhere in the world including US people are selling because they are scared |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRtC_SZfSk8 <- the project http://kck.st/12AIyqt <- kick starter page. They actually have some pretty cool rewards for backing their kickstarter project, check it out! ( you can pledge BTC ) Personally I think they're a little nuts and they won't be able to pay everyone directly with bitcoin... how do you buy rent/food/gas with bitcoin what are they thinking, but its seems they are going to make a serious effort and it should make for a very entertaining film.

So QE3 slowing down will cause hyperinflation? I don't follow, it's usually QE that causes significant inflation.
the thing is once QE3 stops or slows down all the money thats currently in the stock market riding the QE3 bubble, is going to leave the stock market and go EVERYWHERE!  And the market has already had a bad month... this could get interesting. Maybe time to cash out of the world's reserve currency. and cash into the new world's reserve currency  but isn't the market making new highs? even more devastating would be, a preemptive sell off which would force ben to step up QE to a new level of retarded! and then if the investors don't take the bait and keep selling... the fiat scheme is totally fucked... according to some very unreliable sources this is exactly the intent of the illuminati |

The economy has improved remarkably, and so... QE3 will now start to taper off |

adamstgBit(6000uAC) = Wallet[AC0m97S1|adamstgBit]->SendAbstractCoins( AC33M450N|OWSLEYBEATSBIGCARTEL, 250 );
Confirmed I've been busy freaking out about bitcoin price falling hard... anyway here you go some Abstract Coin! adamstgBit(5750uAC) = Wallet[AC0m97S1|adamstgBit]->SendAbstractCoins( ACGr8Day|haveagr8day, 250 ); adamstgBit(5500uAC) = Wallet[AC0m97S1|adamstgBit]->SendAbstractCoins( ACLEZ37|Darktongue, 250 ); Abstract Coin's value is abstract... for the moment  |

ASICMINER shares are blowing UP! but i don't trust it, once the hardware sells run out, dividend & price might tank.
