@crazy_rabbit

Well ok.
So we have about 20+ or more people willing to donate 1BTC to "try to convince" some other people to accept Bitcoins... I think we should start doing something Cheesy

there are some smart ways to use money...

I mean the country would be willing to take TAXES in:
gold, silver, btc and their "old currency"

THIS IS GOOD:
Quote
It would only be an ADDITIONAL official currency.
What does it take to make a currency an "official" currency? Would be enough if small state xy officially proclaims that it will optionally accept BTC for tax and other payments at a rate equivalent of 0.001USD/BTC?

@Inedible
How about to run it on gold, silver and Bitcoins?
168  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paying a Small Country to Make Bitcoin an Official Currency on: April 28, 2013, 12:07:17 PM
Ok, so if there would be anyone willing to do escrow...

I could pay somebody part of price of the plane ticket - to Tuvalu, Tonga or any other "interesting" country... just to go there, and to try to talk to some officials about Bitcoins. Somebody with good talk and good PR for sure. The full plane ticket should be less than 10 btc.

1st Bitcoin from me. I could send even now - to escrow person.

Who is willing to take a flight or to donate some Bitcoins? Smiley

@phelix

Who do you suggest for escrow?
170  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paying a Small Country to Make Bitcoin an Official Currency on: April 27, 2013, 07:44:24 PM
since  the "Principality of Hutt River" and "Freetown Christianiais" have been rejected. what about Pitcain Islands. The islands are inhabited by the descendants of the Bounty mutineers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitcairn_Islands

It could be one of the easiest...
But - Tonga could be better - it's more independent.

Escrow anyone? I want to send 1st BTC! Cheesy

Why reinvent the wheel?

Bitcoin is a virtual currency:  why not a virtual nation?

Wirtland has done all the early legwork, legal and otherwise.  And last I heard they were trying to negotiate for some real territory, purchased from an existing country (Nauru).

Seems like a marriage made in heaven...

I guess we would prefer to have 51% of votes in a small country... this way it would be "real". And some of us could move there... Wink

Ok, we need to have John K. (or somebody like him) as Escrow person... and start sending BTC Smiley


How about Tonga?

You are free to declare yourself a country, anytime, and anywhere. However, nobody will take you seriously, which translates to the simple truth that you will have no legitimacy as a nation.

http://www.wikihow.com/Start-Your-Own-Country

How about - to convince  51% of citizens (Tuvalu / Nauru) - in legal campaign - to vote for Bitcoin President and Bitcoin Prime Minister? Cheesy

http://geography.about.com/cs/countries/a/smallcountries.htm

There are recognized countries that have only 13,000 - 50,000 citizens. Imagine we can gather 1BTC from each of 100,000 Bitcoin believers. That would be quite some money for a small country that does not happen to be tax haven.

AND
What about creating our own country?

@friedcat or anyone with ASIC...

I'm going to be "on air" in polish largest business tv station... CNBC TVN
But they have a hard time to believe that ASICMINER or AVALON ASIC exist... and how it looks...

May I ask some of you... just 1 or 2 people - to make a picture, please...
holding a piece of paper with

"for Satoshi.pl and CNBC TVN" ?

If 1 of you could make a small video... it would be even cooler... Cheesy
It would be great to show something like this in TV... Smiley

Thank you and cheers Smiley
