I'm still waiting.....

This is exactly what is happening to Bitcoin due to Core's roadmap. They may be expert programers, but they don't understand that Bitcoin is only valuable if it is useful, and their roadmap is destroying its usefulness. Full blocks and the high fees and backlog that they create are destroying Bitcoin's comparative advantage and driving people to use alt coins instead.  |

This sounds like a great deal for both of us. I look forward to ironing out the exact details and terms. I'm super busy for the next 48 hours, but would love to connect after that.

One thing that stands out in OP's youtube video, is Roger Ver saying he wants bitcoin to compete with credit cards in terms of transaction speed and fees so that "everyone can use it".
That's kind of like saying he wants to make encrypted WIFI fast enough to play video games as well as an FIOS hardline.
He doesn't seem to have a plan or idea on how to achieve this.
He doesn't seem to understand encryption based technologies like bitcoin will never be as fast as credit cards, for the same reasons that encrypted WIFI will always be much slower than using an unencrypted hardline for gaming.
He seems to think that if he continues to increase block size, he'll eventually reach a point where bitcoin can execute thousands of transactions per second, like credit cards do.
It seems like a bad plan created by a person who lacks the technical background to be involved with making key bitcoin design decisions.
Great job putting words in my mouth. Layer two technologies will allow Bitcoin to compete with Credit Cards. My main point is that we shouldn't damage layer one's usability today in order to force people onto layer two. They'll just be forced into altcoins anyhow. (As we are seeing) BU's roadmap preserves layer one. Core's roadmap intentionally damages layer one. It is clear to me which path is the safer one. |

Most pools have kept all of the fees until just recently, and many miners suspect pools of stealing hash rate from them. Bitcoin.com will never steal any hash rate, and it is our goal to pay more than every other mining pool in the world. (This likely already is the case) If the network fees continue to rise, we will be upping our pay out to 115% of the block reward. Like the current 10%, the extra 15% would be coming from the TX fees. I'd love to see some reports back of exactly how our payout compares to other pools miner for miner. Please give us a try, you won't be disappointed. https://pool.bitcoin.com/ |

I never said I want a faster block time, so please stop telling lies about me.
I am so passionate about Bitcoin because I own so many of them, so I want to see Bitcoin be the winner in the competition among cryptocurrencies.
Having a congested network with high fees, slow confirmations, and easy double spends is the formula to guarantee that Bitcoin loses to something else.

As for someone like Roger Ver shilling for Monero - it's NOT the first alternate he has shilled for, he used to shill a lot for Ripple and also Applebytes, I've never shilled for Monero or Ripple, and never even heard of Applebytes until your post. |

I still have my backup copy of the private keys and am happy to do whatever the community wants with the coins.
Of course I will defer to Rassah first since he was the main organizer.

Lets go first with 100 millions $, then $10 a coin. After that we can go higher.
Both of those things already happened earlier today. What's next? |

Maybe he accumulate when the price was 0.003, now he has tripled the btc worth of holding.  Maybe it was even earlier.  You can thank Bitcoin Core for crippling Bitcoin's ability to scale for motivating me to take a look at alt coins. |

We are updating our billboard on the side of a VERY busy expressway in Silicon Valley California. (Lawrence Expressway just south of Central Expressway) The billboard will be seen by tens of thousands of people per day. We are considering the following layout:  I would like to hear the bitcoin community's thoughts on ways to improve the effectiveness of this ad. Please give me any thoughts, ideas, design changes you may have. Thank you! Roger Ver Memory Dealers.com, Inc. 3350 Scott Blvd. Building #32 Santa Clara, CA 95054 USA Phone:+1 408 486 5650 Fax: +1 408 486 5653 Email: roger@memorydealers.com Aim: rogerkver MSN: roger@memorydealers.comFor all yor networking needs visit: http://www.memorydealers.comThat design is already good it gives emphasis to bitcoin as your mode of payment. That may attract attention to bitcoin users as well as it gives curiosity to non-bitcoin users. FUrther it may help promote bitcoin to passerby as your billboard is big and large enough to be seen by commuters and passerby. Though this is a simple billboard but it will help the bitcoin industry little by little. You are replying to a post I made in May 2011. The Billboard has already gone through several iterations since then. |

I'm glad you guys like them.
I've been paying for various Bitcoin billboards there since mid 2011.
It's amazing how quickly the time has passed.
P.S. If anyone has a picture of the previous Bitcoinstore.com billboard that was there, please share it here.
Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of that one, but I would like to.

I believe the Bitcoinica liquidators said that the MTGOX liquidators approved their claim.

He owns 100,000+ BTC,
Oft, claimed, never proved-- I bet him and Wright are great buddies. Maybe it was true at one point, but one doesn't retaining 100,000 BTC by buying loads of ripple, ethereum, and every other highly hyped altcoin that comes around. If it is true, it's remarkable and sad-- to own so much bitcoin and yet spend none of it to help further the development of Bitcoin... and instead just investing in putting a sleazy looking gambling site on Bitcoin.com (and filling the site with pro ethereum news). Greg, you should really be ashamed of yourself for attacking fellow members of this community who care so deeply about Bitcoin. I nearly singlehandedly funded the entire first wave of Bitcoin adoption with well over a million dollars worth of money that I earned before I'd even heard of Bitcoin. Since then I've spent 6.5 years of my life and about $20M USD worth of my own bitcoin promoting the ecosystem, including billboards and national radio ads. I created the first website to accept Bitcoin for hundreds of thousands of products, kicking off the entire wave of Bitcoin merchant adoption around the world. I also funded the seed rounds for most of the popular Bitcoin businesses today. I thank you for your work on the core Bitcoin protocol, but you are a true black belt level troll. |

The real question is why do you care what Roger Ver thinks? As far as I'm concerned, his opinions are as valuable as those of any other random human on this planet. He dislikes Core, he dislikes Segwit, and r/bitcoin and BTCT. Do I need to say more?
Way to put words in my mouth! For the record: I like Core, but they are misguided on the economics of this issue. I love Segwit, but it was supposed to be ready in April, and would only buy a few months of extra time if 100% of the wallets implemented it instantly. I loved /r/Bitcoin and Bitcointalk, and was a daily user before all the censorship by Theymos took over. Just look at /r/Bitcoin, people aren't even allowed to see the up-votes or down-votes, let alone post an opinion that is in disagreement with Theymos. It makes me want to cry when I see how far things have strayed from the principles that early bitcoin users claimed to support. |
