i got the same impression XD i can see it an hour of some sweaty fat ass in a dirty white vest typing on a laptop getting sweatier and every so often reaches down to have a bite of his greasy sub sandwich... some of it falling onto his top and leaving great streaks of mess and then he jumps up the chair falls over and hes stolen bitcoins... the end now to pad it out to make it last an hour XD
I would imagine a more Hollywood-esque approach. Bankrobber 1 & 2, both wearing Guy Fawkes mask & suit. Bankrobber 1 keeping the people at the bank in check, Bankrobber 2 sitting at a laptop, copying files onto an USB stick that looks like an AM Block Errupter: Bankrobber 1: "Hurry up man, we gotta go!" Bankrobber 2: "I still have to download the Blockchain... 4 days of transactions to go... 3 days... 2 days..." Bankrobber 1: "Screw the blockchain!!! Just grab all the private keys you can and dismount the miner!" Bankrobber 2: "1 day... DONE!" Bankrobber 1: "GO GO GO" Bankrobber 1 & 2 head for the escape vehicle, cut. Also, one of the bankrobbers is Brad Pitt, the other some underdog newcomer.

Will probably give this a try and submit something tomorrow.

Any news on what you're going to do with ESECURITY? (both the BTC and the LTC denominated security)
|

So in this movie, bitcoins will be stolen from the bank?
I think he meant that the movie will be funded with Bitcoin? I like the idea of "everyone can do it". It helps putting yourself into the character's shoes.

+1 on figuring out how to do the setup by the trustee, 2 weeks of non-operation at the beginning of october would be costly.
Using teamviewer to help setting the miners up using a host machine sounds like a pretty good solution.

only half of that, at best, is worth reading at all. Most of it is self aggrandization by the poster shilling for their own reputation. lol... I was actually waiting for MPOE-PR themselves to show up to post this ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

I personally prefer Bitfunder over Havelock, but a lot of people seem to distrust Bitfunder, possibly because you need to drag your funds through WeExchange.co before adding them to your account.

What I want to know is this: after six months during which you've charged users superlative fees for using imaginary services you failed to provide, how exactly are you going to effect the refund of those BTC?
Haha not going to happen, refund all fees? He would owe me at least 2-5 bitcoin in fees probably. MPOE-PR, they are still charging fees even right now and still keeping hold of that 0.0025 reserve in the wallet. I'm sure they don't plan a refund if they are still taking as much profit as possible. I think MPOE-PR was talking about the fee to get your asset listed, not the transaction fees...

Hi! One of the bigger exchanges, btct.co, is shutting down due to some regulatory issues the next few weeks, so please be aware that cryptostocks may fall in legal grey area.
As for creating a company on a BTC stock exchange, you can for starters check out bitfunder.com and / or havelockinvestments.com. Mpex.co is also a possibility, but probably harder to get into and you will reach less people on there.
I'm pretty sure someone else will soon come along with more detailed input.

TAT, could you reply when you get our emails? I sent one, but sometimes gmail puts my messages in a spam folder, so it would be nice to get a confirmation that you received my email.

Regarding the securities markets shutting down:
Frequent emails are provided to us regarding who holds shares, so while there may be a panic on the market itself currently, the shares and dividends will continue on schedule.
As for where we will go afterwards: We are considering the possibility of adding the share trading directly onto our website as a pseudo-currency, and if that's not possible, or not acceptable, there are plenty of other security markets we can utilize!
We'll keep everyone updated on this as we decide the route we take. As always, feel free to share your concerns, suggestions, and thoughts on anything thus far!
I assume a similar approach will be taken for ESECURITY?

Dear US Bitcoiners,
Kindly to tell your government to stop acting like the world police and ruining all the fun.
Sincerely, A non-US citizen

Seriously though, I hope Bitfunder and Havelock will be able to hold on a little longer until decentralized trading can take care of business.
Sad to see btct.co go. The share prices are kinda painful to watch right now, but I'm rather blaming the panic sellers and FUDsters than Burnside so far. Yeah, you know who you are.
I think the most will be up to the asset-issuers on how they will handle the situation.
I wouldn't worry about AM-PT and the other assets that are traded on either Bitfunder or Havelock. Everything else, let's see. Here's hoping...

Making a geographical lookup I don't see any correlation between just-dice.com and letsdice.com: https://www.ultratools.com/whois/homeletsdice.com => HOST IP ADDRESS: 106.186.31.136 - Tokyo just-dice.com => HOST IP ADDRESS: 141.101.124.227 - Singapore => HOST IP ADDRESS: 108.162.207.227 - San Francisco towtoad.com leads to a couple of host IP adresses which are also located in California but in Mountain View. Of course he might still be the same person and use different hosting providers / facilities, but with the given information that's purely speculation since what Rannasha said about namecheap / whoisguard is correct.

Thanks for the updated prospectus, keep up the good work. Some issues I see / points that would require further clarification: 1) "Europegged accounts remove the risk of BTCEUR price drops from the customer onto the bank, which is hedged with company EUR reserves and an aggressively riskaverse trading desk" (p.7) I don't see the EUR reserves showing up in the financial projections. Did you just pool Fiat and BTC together to the total BTC holdings (eg. 68,295 BTC for Feb)? If so, what ratio of the holdings will you keep in EUR? Just... a ballpark figure... 1%, 10%, 50%? If not, what are your projected EUR reserves? 2) From the financial projections: "Total BTC Holdings: 68,295 - Required Reserve (BTC): 67,964" To me this likes you only plan for 0.49% of BTC holdings on top of what is required. This seems little compared to the sudden price drops BTC tends to make. Which brings me to 3) 3) The most conservative profit projection you show is based on a BTC growth of 1%. What happens if there is no growth but rather decline? Even assuming that Bitcoin will grow over the next couple of years, there's still a chance that your first year of business will take place during a time of Bitcoin decline. How much decline can you handle? Edit: Don't get me wrong though, looking at the current state of banking regulations and the reserve requirements for traditional banks you guys are still on a great way, I'm just trying to dissect and understand the aspects of your operation that I think are the most critical ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
