Thanks for the comment and the concern. We are currently looking at multiple avenues to prove our reliability to the Bitcoin community. In our minds, this is extremely important, especially in the wake of the Mt Gox debacle.

We're excited
We've just gone live
Our first trading event
We also wanted

English isen't everyone's first language you know, but there's nothing wrong with my education you can't get much higher actually, but that really has nothing to do with the fact that some of us actually like to prevent newcummers from making huge misstakes in the btcworld.

Then you have Mpex where you can buy 4 of there own stocks if you first pay them 30 btc to be allowed to trade there,

Really! We have to get Women on Board.

You know, i consider myself a Feminist, and its just unfair that nobody helps Women to get into Bitcoin. We will all suffer, because there are no Women around. And I'll tell you the Reason why: I've just read that Thread about if Women use Bitcoin or not and I stumbled over some quote from some Woman-Reporter. She mentioned, that Women are responsible for so and so many sales (Like Trillions) and it is a missed opportunity if you don't have them on board because then they will spend the money elsewhere.

Now we have to realize that a Woman will never bother to buy a coin, because that is nerdy and Women don't like nerdy. And Woman SHOULD not buy the coin, they should WANT the coin because of what you can DO with the Coin. Women will help Bitcoin, because they wont hoard it. No Woman hoards money. They will spend it as fast as they can, thus finally giving Bitcoin the possibility to be a real currency. That is one MAJOR problem solved. With Women - Dont make it about the coin, make it about the amenities you have have with it. Women want to buy stuff that is A) expensive, B) fun, C) makes their girlfriends jealous and D) sparkles. Bitcoin has NONE of these qualities and - lets face it - wont ever have. So we can state, that Bitcoin is not apealing to Women, which is a shame, because Women are very important.

It is right, what the Woman-Reporter said. Women do buy lots of stuff, they spend so fucking much money. But they like things to be easy and smooth and to sparkle. It MUST not be complicated, it must not be necessary to think about what you're doing and it must not feel nerdy or creepy, but super-awesome. It must be as easy as opening your wallet and take the money out. As of yet you will have to help a Woman to make a transaction with Bitcoin every time, because they can't be bothered learning how to do it, be it one transaction, be it 1000. You'll alwasy start at step one. Bitcoin-Transactions are just something no Woman wants (or should have) to learn, because she really has other concerns, like dressing nice and going to the Prom and be an actress. As a Feminist I say, we as a community are doing WAY to little to help Woman come to use Bitcoin.

An Example: You know why Apple has had its huge success? WOMEN bought it because its easy. You basically can't do shit with an Ipad, because its so locked up, but its oh sooo easy to use. Everything that is hard is not for the Women! It really is not. Women are the real driving force in the economy. They have the financial power and often the say in spendings. Big commercial hits have all been EASY. Same with EVERY major thing in the last 20 years. Look at the adaption-rate of the Internet. The Women only started to come in after the modems died. Modems virtually scared the Women away from the internet, made strange noises and just did not feel right. Why should a Woman have to wait for Internets, feeling uncomfortable and scared by those strange noises? Dial-up was way to complicated, like 10times to complicated. But we managed this problem and made Internet as easy as 1-2-3 and then even easier. And -bam- came the Women. They all came! To make things short: If you want something to suceed - WOMEN must want it and then it HAS to be easy.

Bitcoin is NOT easy. Its just not. You know that. Think from a female perspective. Bitcoin is not funny, it does not make you laugh or feel good and there is nothing to feel. But these are the core-assests for Women. What is being done to enable Women to handle Bitcoins? We must motivate them and find a way to make it so easy to use, a 4-year-old Boy could handle it without a problem. Thats an exaggeration, but you get the point. I think this is one MAJOR direction we have to go with Bitcoin to really arrive at the Mainstream and get the money flowing in.

So lets make things easy for the Women, we'll all profit from it.

Edit: Had to clarify things, it was a little to feminist, I toned that down a little.

Sorry to post such an offtopic answer, but MPOE-ER, who are you?
I keep reading your posts on almost every important thread in BTT, and i see you roaming and policing(mildly ) other minor threads.
Some of your comments are so bright and funny at the same time, you make me think you are some kind of eddie izzard.

Thanks mate. You provided this noob here with lots of very useful intel and that was by your questions only..
I would love to listen an analysis from you on almost anything.

We are hoping for owners who believe in our greater mission of promoting the mass adoption of cryptocurrency.     

Here it's a practical suggestion (entirely based on free market) to Mtgox users so they can "withdraw" their bitcoins from Mtgox and recover their losses:

1) use Bitcoin Builder to withdraw your bitcoins from Mtgox with a loss

2) transfer what you get to mcxNow to earn interest from deposit. Just by depositing in mcxNow, you'll be paid interest every 6 hours. Another option is to buy mcxFEE and earn dividends in all cryptocurrencies traded there every 6 hours (each mcxFEE returns 0,001% of all fees paid in mcxNow). Other option is mcxBUX, which is the "virtual" dollar of mcxNow (1 mcxBUX ~= US$ 1). If you think bitcoin price will go down, buy mcxBUX and profit.

3) mcxNow is growing like never before. With a higher volume, everyone will benefit from using it. And off course you can trade and recover faster your losses, but I just want to show an easy way, so everybody don't have to wait until Mtgox returns (if it will really return one day...).

So my question is: what can we do to help mtgox? Can we help?

We are a dedicated team of experts and Bitcoin enthusiasts based in Mexico and Germany. Currently we are undergoing the process of establishing Tijuana’s first Bitcoin ATM which will be located at the Bitcenter, the machine will use two currencies, US dollars and Mexican pesos; our main goal is for everyone to have access to Bitcoins and can therefore easily and safely store value or make instant worldwide low fee transfers.  If you would like to know more about us please visit our website www.bitcoin42.com , or drop by the Bitcenter Tijuana to check out the ATM.

Hmm... I did not notice that! If it's truly the case that they are buying a domain just to bypass the uniqueness rule, then clearly they are violating that rule. I'll look into this.

I have had a bitcointalk account for sometime.  I just created the QuintoBTC account not to mix my personal and business.

I don't see what the funny part is?

Aside from the amount invested, this investment round is also notable for the number of investors involved. The firm lists 15 in its statement announcing the deal, which would mean an average of $40,000 each (although the investment is likely to be unevenly spread).

Bitcoin is getting bigger and that means more scrutiny.

[ ] accusation of a scam
[ x] accusation of poor business plan
[ x] hand waving
[ ] strong call out

Usually when you quote more than you actually write, your argument is dead on arrival.


good try mpoe. You should just continue to be the gate keeper of obvious scams. Your ability to analyze anything more sophisticated, as clearly demonstrated here, falls flat on its face.

Remember bitcoin startups there are others people who are accredited investors other than Erik and Roger. I really feel they get every deal, and I get invites to invest in a silk road marketplace. So bitcoin startups remember there are many investors who can bring a lot of talent and money to companies.
