Heard loud and clear. You'll have the news you're looking for this week. 

Sure! I should have clarified that I wasn't really directing it at you, but more at people in general for jumping into the lynch mob.

If people really want someone to lynch, they need to lynch their friends and family for making mtGox so big and making it a single point of failure in the bitcoin economy.

You're selling lemonade. You take the customer's money, and a robber runs by and takes your lemonade and the customer's money. You have no money and no product so you have to shut down. The police know who the robber's friends are, but they say that they don't want to take responsibility. The lemonade stand is a victim of theft.

Who should pay?


If you said "the robber", you're right! And that's why Tradehill is going to court.

If you said "that dirty mother fucking lowlife lemonade stand owner" then you should stop breathing now.

Those of us involved in bitcoin for its utility don't care about the spot price, we care about who we can send it to and who can send it to us. If everyone in the world was using Bitcoin, I still wouldn't think that $100 a coin is even remotely accurate. I think Bitcoin is worth about $2-3 probably.

I have no idea why your comment was deleted if it indeed was, because commenting on the article page is the correct way to dispute issues with an article and its contents. It allows not only the author of the article but the community to know the truth and allows everyone to react accordingly with the correct information.

That said, I am not entirely sure what you are arguing here, although I understand if your comment was removed for some reason that you would want to voice your opinion in this thread. Can you create another thread of discussion about this and post the link here? I would also like to get to the bottom of this and most importantly I would like to find out what exactly it is you're talking about.


EDIT:




EDIT 2: Apparently the article had to be reformatted at one point (probably due to the translations we are adding) and it caused all comments to be removed (not just yours).

US Tax day.

Appreciate it. We're very excited about this week finally coming.

For bitcoin fans, I'm confident our magazine will be orgasm inducing. The wait can be attributed to the finishing touches that allow it to cuddle with you afterwards.

In what respect? I'm positive if you asked every Bitcoiner "what's the best thing for Bitcoin right now?" they would all respond "More adoption".

Awesome! How many pages did you work? Our magazine started out at 64 originally but we've already boosted it up to 100. If you're interested and I can see some of your previous work, I'd welcome the assistance of those whom have experience in publishing periodicals.

Because it's not a two-bit fanzine full of circle jerking, but a periodical intended to bring some balance to the issues of Bitcoin in the outside world.

We're not discussing deadlines, we're discussing a first release. We wouldn't be late on deadlines. I hate that it's taken so long to get the first release out, but as I mentioned, you'll get your news this week. 

How about April 17th so that we can both rejoice and be reminded that the game is not over yet?

Did your school newspaper represent the entirety of Bitcoin to the world, have articles that needed to be cleared by an editorial board, have an art team designing complex and powerful imagery around the context of the articles, and change the majority of your staff twice the way into it?

Anyone who has run a magazine knows what's happened and are happy we're past the rougher parts. Since everything is finally coming together to a level of quality that myself and the other 20+ individuals associated with the magazine at various professional roles are willing to stand behind, I'll have the news everyone is looking for this week.

I think it's very important to note that the speed of our work has absolutely nothing to do with trolling the forums. We produce quality based on our integrity, not the loud voices of a few obnoxious trolls. This magazine has an opportunity to bring Bitcoin to everyone. Why anyone would want to rush through the process (not talking about you BitAvenue) haphazardly just proves to me how far detached from reality this forum is sometimes.

If she floats, she's a witch.

MintChip failed before it started because it doesn't solve the real problem with currency, it just makes it easier to do the horrible things they already do and gives them more scapegoats to throw blame on in the process.

Bitcoin Magazine "late" as it is, succeeds by not throwing the entire community under a bus through poor representation to the outside world, something the majority of bitcoin businesses fail miserably at.

MintChip obviously spent a lot of money on their design, branding, marketing, and technology, and is an interesting starter experiment that will end up promoting Bitcoin more than Bitcoin could on its own probably, due to its superior image and quality.

When the community starts realizing that half-assed Coineer style bake sale newsletters don't grab positive attention from non-bitcoiners, they'll be more understanding of a mere 3 months of development on something that has a chance to bring Bitcoin to new heights.

With no fee, it will take longer. Maybe even an entire day. I can't tell you why it didn't ask for a fee, but no you cannot add a fee after the fact; what's done is done.

You just need to sit it out and wait.

Seconded.

Anyone who thinks a major exchange's laundry is done as easily as your own has never run a business before.

I also wonder if there are people here who somehow than that Jered operated Tradehill in his own name out of his garage or something. He technically could just file TRADEHILL for bankruptcy and be done with it.

Not all transactions (especially ones of that size) will require a fee. Check blockchain.info with your address to confirm that the bitcoins were sent and received.

Put it into perspective. With the large amount of money they invested without doing any research, I don't think they're slow to respond so much as they are dumb-struck and panicked at the realization of how big of a failure it is. Any expectations of a response that would acknowledge their failure is nothing more than day-dreaming.
