I am posting this on behalf of Jillian Batty, the owner of Stateless Sweets. To order with Bitcoin, just send her an email at statelesssweets@yahoo.com. The offer is good until midnight PST. Salted Honey Caramel $12.50 for 40 pieces shipped. If you're buying with BTC today, just one coin will get you an order of these. No corn syrup in this caramel.  The raw honey was purchased with bitcoin! I have rooommates right now who brought some raw honey with them from Seattle/Spokane, Washington. He gladly accepted bitcoin for a 3 pound jug.  |

Never said it wasn't helpful.
Just.. damn. A discount is better than a mark up. That's all.
When low prices leads to the demand for a good or service being far greater than its supply, the only rational thing for a supplier to do is to raise the price. This allows them to make a greater profit, which in turn allows them to more quickly increase supply to meet demand. |

I use Armory from git, which branch should I be testing?
Use the "threading" branch. Although, I have been committing some updates directly to the threading so you are probably going to get a few more features than the others testing the installers I released (but hopefully no extra bugs! I had some problems before I realized I needed to rebuilt swig. Now it works great! It's so nice having it start up instantly rather than sit around waiting forever on my slow laptop. |

I use Armory from git, which branch should I be testing, threading? Or has it been merged into another branch already?

Shouldn't armory be writing the log to the User Data folder, not the Program Files folder? On Windows7 Program Files need administrator access.

I have some questions about using Armory in a fully air-gapped offline mode that are relevent to the same scenerio as the OP.
I want to store Bitcoins on a computer which, after the initial software installation and key generation, will never again communicate over a network or accept removable media.
Can Armory generate raw transactions without ever having any knowledge about the blockchain and display them on the screen as a QR code?
If it could do this, and if the QR code was formatted as a URL, it would be possible to create a lightweight web service that would accept raw transactions as a URL parameter, check them for validity, and broadcast them on the network.
Now spending funds from an offline wallet doesn't require a serial cable or a thumbdrive - it just requires a smartphone with a standard QR code reader app.
I think this was discussed in the Armory thread (or maybe this one), but here's a quick run down. In order to use the offline Armory split wallet method, you must also have a computer with the block chain up to date and Armory installed, with the watching only copy of the wallet. The offline copy doesn't have any block or transaction information, so you can't even see your balance. The online copy is where you must initiate all transfers. In order for the offline copy to sign and verify the transaction, it must be supplied with the transactions for all outputs to be spent, along with the transaction to sign. So you first need to transfer more data than will fit in a QR code from the online to the offline computer, and then a smaller amount of data in the reverse direction. |

I don't get it. What does that letter show exactly? |
|
|
|
Because you did not take measures to protect yourselves as "limited" partners or even to incorporate, your joint and several liabilities are in effect unlimited.
That's what I was asking for, a source for this legal opinion. |
|
|
|
If it's criminal, RICO in the US?
I thought he meant financially liable to the users, not criminally liable. |
|
|
|
And yes, since it wasn't a registered corporation, all of the share holders are personally liable.
Source? |

After reading this very long log it is clear that Neferio has the support of the majority of the shareholders of Bitcoin Global and that they want it "closed" and turned into a legal operation. Theymos was in the minority and failed on his vote to remove Nefario as CEO.
How did you reach that conclusion? [05/10/2012 16:56:18] <theymos> Aye.
[05/10/2012 16:56:18] <chrisrico> aye
[05/10/2012 16:56:21] <shareholder2> yes
[05/10/2012 16:56:22] <shareholder1> aye
[05/10/2012 16:56:24] <da2ce796> -
[05/10/2012 16:56:27] <shareholder4> aye
[05/10/2012 16:56:42] <nefario> I vote against
[05/10/2012 16:56:57] <shareholder3_> aye, as long as this leads to a solution that avoids that I get into any sort of legal trouble (yes, thats selfish, but that is my p.o.v)
That's 5 for the motion, 1 maybe for, and 2 against (including nefario, with 23% of shares). Even with CHM's vote, we didn't have enough support to get rid of Nefario. |

I've decided to release the October 5th shareholder meeting minutes. I've removed IP addresses and the names of the shareholders that haven't been outed yet. Except for da2ce7, because he supported Nefario right from the beginning. With those exceptions, nothing else was changed. http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=DRt78Vne |

Are you a BitcoinGlobal partner?
Yes, I have stated that before. I was one of the ones for which Theymos was selling shares. After a bit of thought, I'm going to release the October 5th shareholder meeting minutes. The only thing I've done is remove IP addresses and the names of undisclosed shareholders. I'm not outing anyone (other than da2ce7, since he supported the shutdown from the beginning) over this. http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=DRt78Vne |

Why don't you organize yourselves and do a new vote right now?
Because he has stated that even if he was removed as CEO by a shareholder vote, he would continue with his plan to shut down GLBSE. Anyway, there are a few reasons why the vote to remove Nefario as CEO failed. First, he has a 24% stake in the company. Second, he had a couple of minor supporters. Third, most of those that opposed him in principle were already resigned to the course of events and didn't care to actually take a stand, as even if he was removed, he stated he would shut it down anyway. |

Goat, I agree completely. You guys haven't seen this, but I've been very vocal about this behind-the-scenes ever since the tag was applied, with almost the same arguments. I was hoping that BadBear would listen, but at this point I need to start protecting my reputation by letting you guys know my position.
So you don't think that Nefario's actions toward BitcoinGlobal shareholders were worthy of the scam tag? |

Ah, I see your point now.

Miners cannot mine without users using their bitcoins. Do you mean after the end of the block subsidy, and that they won't mine? Otherwise, I disagree. Blocks can be created without any transactions... Users cannot use bitcoins without miners mining. This is true, but as long as there are users that want to use bitcoins, then there will be miners, even if just the users themselves. |

There's so many threads and related topics to this stuff.
It is really fascinating and a huge step in the right direction IMO.
I want to throw a bounty out there for 2 BTC. Feel free to link to this post.
What is the bounty for? It's for a finalized protocol specification and description
of the entire colored coin and closely related concepts. It can be in the form of a wiki (I personally
prefer a PDF download). In order to claim my bounty, the spec' needs to become the primary
reference.
Those that have run off and started coding already are doing a great service of
verifying the concept in computer programming language, but at the same time are putting
the cart before the horse if they don't take the time to "hash" out the overall protocol
specification IMO.
Thanks to all your efforts.
Taking your 2, and adding another 20 BTC donation and adding link to a public document that started the documentation : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AnkP_cVZTCMLIzw4DvsW6M8Q2JC0lIzrTLuoWu2z1BE/editAnyone who wants editing rights, simply send me your email in a private message Why not use Booster.io instead? https://booster.io/ |

He did not have the right, as CEO appointed by shareholders, to shut down GLBSE without shareholder consent. In doing so, he defrauded shareholders.
No, GLBSE is not operating. It is not collecting money from users for the service of listing and exchanging assets.
