[...] I am under the impression that theymos rather wants something solid than something thats done on time or done with a given amount of money. This has certainly limits, but as long as there are funds for the development I dont see an issue.
>inb4 Im brown nosing, have no idea, yadda yadda.
Thus far, theymos has spent 2.3 million dollars to reinvent develop bulletin board forum software, which is still only "about 85% done." "About 85% done" in devspeak is "In Two Weeks" in ASIC_manufacturer_speak. If we treat everything theymos says at face value. Which I do not. I refuse to believe that a man in his right mind would venture to spend millions on new forum software, when developed & tested open-source shareware exists. I refuse to believe that such a man would also find an obscure, zero-web-presence company, and, without ever even meeting the principals, send it $350k and $100k monthly thereafter. I refuse to believe that such a person exists. Finished forum software, if it ever materializes, will just be a meaningless byproduct of making the donation coin spendable. When you hear hooves, think horses. |

[...] Speechless. So what you're telling me is you have sent $1,950,000, nearly two million dollars, to someone you've "never even met them in person," a dead landing page, http://slickage.com/ ? And this, the most expensive forum software ever, isn't finished yet? And you're still sending 50k/mo to this Slickage? [...] Correction: In December and January I paid a total of about $350,000 of forum funds to hire Slickage Studios, a software development firm. [...] So make that $2,300,000 and counting. |

The forum money I held has largely been spent now, mostly in the forum software project. Slickage was paid $100,000 per month in all of 2014 and until May in 2015. Since June 2015, they've been paid $50,000 per month. The exchange rate varied substantially throughout this period, but the end result is that most of the BTC was spent. The rate ($85,417/month average as of the end of 2015) might seem high to people unfamiliar with professional software development, but it's normal. The project is quite a bit over-due and over-budget (the original estimate was 1 year and $1.2 million), but I've been constantly monitoring Slickage, and they've definitely been making solid, continual progress, so it seemed correct to continue to project. The vast majority of total forum revenue was from ads, not donations, but to the extent that donations were used: this software was in fact the main stated goal of donations. As I've said before: I have absolutely no personal relationship to Slickage, and I receive no "kickbacks" whatsoever. I've never even met them in person. I first learned of Slickage from Warren Togami, who had previously done a lot of work for the forum and was himself recommended by gmaxwell and others. (I've also never met Warren in person.) The current status of the software is that it's ~85% done. The core of it is entirely functional and often much better/faster than SMF, though there are still several missing features. There will be a public beta before the end of the month, I think, at which time I'll post more about what's left to be done. Also see http://epochtalk.org/ for more info. Speechless. So what you're telling me is you have sent $1,950,000, nearly two million dollars, to someone you've "never even met them in person," a dead landing page, http://slickage.com/ ? And this, the most expensive forum software ever, isn't finished yet? And you're still sending 50k/mo to this Slickage? Is there a fancy GPG-signed contract "non-legal agreement between The Bitcoin Forum ("Forum") and Slickage [...] intended to be enforced in a non-violent, non-legal way by the community"? Or was this a handshake deal? I take it the drop to 50k/mo is the late completion clause? Anyhow, cool story bro, but hope you don't expect it to fly IRL. |

After your last post it seems to me like you're trying to troll. Nobody likes trolls here. Regardless, is it really important where the money is? If so, why?
>is it really important where the money is? Is how millions of $$$ in donations to bitcointalk was spent important? >If so, why? Because the money was not gifted to theymos, it was donated to bitcointalk. Because the money is vanishing, with nothing to show for it. Because it looks like a large chunk of the money, for which theymos is responsible, seems to be missing. Because that shit is called embezzlement. Because either you know and are being evasive, or you do not, in which case kindly not clutter up the thread. This means you too, redsn0w. Need more? |

Regardless of if theymos wants to admit it or not, the forum's BTC most likely legally belongs to theymos.
I think it is somewhat of a moot point to ask where theymos's own money is. Unless of course the point of asking is to troll.....
>Regardless of if theymos wants to admit it or not A detail quite relevant to teh taxman. >Unless of course the point of asking is to troll Please don't bother commenting on things you don't understand, unless, ofc, you're just trying to suck up to theymos. |

Can you read properly? All of those apart from theymos's address have the proper amount of Bitcoin or more. However, 250 BTC of that from paraipan is lost since AFAIK he passed away a year or two ago. Sure they are. Click on the contracts.
What do you mean? The post has also been updated recently, June 11 of this year.
Yeah, I believe a treasurer was removed as he/his wife tried to extort the forum to have a post removed. >What do you mean I mean click on the pastebin links. From there on, should be self-explanatory. >Yeah, I believe A public ledger edited with an eraser? Why not leave the original unaltered? |

None of them is empty
Sure they are. Click on the contracts. The post has also been updated recently, June 11 of this year. And if splitting among multiple addys, what's the point of posting the addys where the money's not at? Lel? |

TL;DR: half of the addies are now empty. |
