Is it possible they are the same person? I may need to do some digging.

Sympathizing more with the rich? Do you truly hate your parents or something?
You are arguing with a sociopath. He is not going to change so you might as well ignore him. Word. |

He has purchased two gemstone shipments from me. Each time, he was kind enough to send BTC immediately (even the 2nd time, when I informed him I would not be able to ship until 2 days later). Very kind, and an excellent buyer!

 All the green ones are 5830s, orange and red are 6950s. You'll notice how the cooling on the 6950s blows, no pun intended. Love the TMNT references  |

I come from a very poor family. My mum is bankrupt and my dad struggles from week to week. I barely make the mortgage payments each month.
Just because I sympathize more with the rich, doesn't mean I'm rich (yet).
I just have bigger ambitions that most, and $4m doesn't cut it, sorry.
I'd rather take a chance at $40m knowing I took a chance, and didn't cut and run when it got a bit scary, even if that means I never even make 4.
...Wow dude. I think you've blown my mind. Do you like being this stupid? I love it. Sucks wishing for things you don't have, doesn't it? I suggest you reconsider how far your thinking has actually gotten you financially... Sympathizing more with the rich? Do you truly hate your parents or something? |

Aaaaand, the truth comes out. You live in your parents house, and have never had a real job. You have no fucking clue how much four million dollars is because you have watched too much TV and your brain is a mashed up pile of burning suburban garbage. You will graduate from high school in nine months and your rich white parents will give you a Jetta and pay for you to go on a backpacking trip to Europe. While there, you will get drunk and act like an obnoxious rich white kid in some dirty bar that your hipster friends drag you to because 'it's so real', oblivious to who is around you. This precipitates a brawl, which inevitably ends with you being raped in an alley. Despite the trauma, you fail to link actions to consequences and continue about your life, dumb as ever but walking a little bowlegged. You go to college, where no one likes you and major in Economics, going on to sell used BMWs. You die cold and alone.
Me? I would sell four four mil in a fucking heartbeat. A bird in the hand is worth 400,000 bitcoin in the bush.
Not at all. I come from a very poor family. My mum is bankrupt and my dad struggles from week to week. I barely make the mortgage payments each month. Just because I sympathize more with the rich, doesn't mean I'm rich (yet). I just have bigger ambitions that most, and $4m doesn't cut it, sorry.

I also have a feeling I already am and will always be richer than you, so long as you hold that mentality.
Heh that's what poor people always say  Good luck. Back atcha, considering your decision would depend entirely on market luck. Send me a BTC address and I'll donate to you, if it's that important to you. 14Z1mazY4HfysZyMaKudFr63EwHqQT2njz Sent. Now go fuck yourself. |

Not sticking for the guy, but wasn't he the one, eye groping that hot chick in the last bitcoin video in the end? I mean he was down right starring at them sexy legs of that fine women  . That is if I am talking about the correct bruce. Haha this is exactly what I thought when I read the OP. |

do get publicity!!!!
50% of the time dedicated to preparing for the conference should entail gathering media attention. I mean like 100-200 hours of pure commitment to this and this alone. For sure - anyone with experience handling the media that would like to volunteer some time would be appreciated -even to give us less experienced ppl with the time some tips/info? I have tried emailing AU media outlets in the past and go zero responses. The more of a "community" project this is the stronger it will be, so far everyone involved is a volunteer do some stunts!! give away bitcoins, make a lottery(100x1btc, 10x10btc, 200bitcoin total, or something). make some noise, on other forums, asking people: "are you comming to the bitcoin expo in australia?" even tv ads maybe. just do something!! Good Ideas, except TV Ads are just way too expensive for marketing unless someone has a spare $100,000 to $200,000 for the TV campaigns. I am sure we will get the right Audiences and also Media through our online ways, and contacts etc. I am looking very forward to the Event! You should tell this to HelloWorld, a dude in another thread who told me that if he had 4 mil in BTC, he wouldn't cash them out because he would hope they would grow to a value of 40 mil (since, as he said, 4 mil isn't even enough to buy him half a jet). Find some early adopter to invest in a TV commercial so they can help their investment grow. Gotta spend money to earn money. |

Well, look at it this way, the way i meant for it to be looked at. Yes, I am trying to get a car, but as I do need one, and this hasn't been done before, I thought I would give it a chance. Bitcoins haven't been used this way before, and seldom is a currency used for something like this. So, IF this is completed, then it will surely help tell the world about Bitcoin, and that there do exist those who are willing to support others.
It's YOUR money, so do with it what you want to do with it, and send me some change if you feel that is what you want to do.
I don't want to argue, but I just want to say I understand what you're getting at, and I want to say, It's your money, you can do with it as you please.
As for if I don't get enough for the car, I was originally thinking of just converting the Bitcoins into USD to put towards a car, but this will run a VERY LONG TIME before then, as I won't be able to afford a car in any other way for at least several years.
I have an idea. Get a Flexcoin ID. Make your ID something like "Car Fund." As you get deposits, regularly update with screenshots of your balance. Now, here's the thing. Having someone know your Flexcoin ID AND your balance increases the likelihood that, over time, someone would want to target you account and try to steal it. But, if nobody hacks ya during the entire course of your endeavor, then not only will you get your first Bitcoin car, but you can prove that Flexcoin is secure and stable. I actually really want Flexcoin to succeed given the nature of Flexcoin IDs, due to the need of a very secure online storage site for your BTC, and due to great idea of having a place for you to earn interest on your BTC. We can also see just how close you truly are to your goal. This might be a way of killing multiple birds with one stone. And, if you lose all your BTC, well, it was more of a community loss than your own (though you of course would suffer the brunt of it). Just a thought. Would be curious about what you or others think. |

There weren't that much stuff to stream, really. We had Bruce announcing the whole thing, then we had Gavin talk about the future of the code. Next up was Stefan Thomas talking about BitcoinJS, and finally Jeff Garzik's talk about the state of the coin (his slides are online, check his latest tweets). The rest of the whole thing was just socializing and lots of very interesting discussions with other Bitcoiners. The true content was in the personal meetings. Sorry guys, that's always the best thing with conferences.
You, and others here, seem to be missing the point of the OP. If it was going to be a gathering of bitcoiners, who could afford the time and money to go, with little for outsiders who don't know much about the whole subject then it should not have been hyped the way it was with the talk of the whole event being broadcast live and wall to wall global media etc. And it seems unfair to call people who give this kinda feedback whiners who want to attack Bruce, especially when they add that they like Bruce and his show and are only posting to help improve things going forward. I think to me what was most disappointing is that this would have been a great opportunity for the media to get the RIGHT information. With all the misinformation going around about how Bitcoin operates or how previous hacks actually happened, it would have been wonderful if the media could've actually heard the speakers and presenters and to actually hear from merchants and vendors. Meh... |

I'm ignoring the parasitic and sociopathic rantings and going back to the topic.
We should focus on improving the bitcoin client so the non-geek population can use it. I suggest strong encryption of wallet.dat as a start as there are already trojans in the wild that steal this file. Also some very easy way to make encrypted wallet backups should be provided. Encrypting the wallet isn't as easy as it sounds as you have to protect from keyboard sniffers as well as rouge programs with filesystem access.
We could also use some easy way to handle bitcoin addresses. It would be really nice if I could send BTC to a name I can actually remember and write down. I suggest storing these addresses in DNS ( using DNSSEC for security ) so we could use addresses like sd.name.bit or sd.mycompany.com instead of the awkward internal addresses we use now.
We also need unitex or something like it to allow people to change local currency to BTC and back again quickly and hopefully cheaply. BTC won't really be mainstream until it can be conveniently converted to other things.
There are already have a number of sites offering products and services for BTC. These will develop and mature over time bringing more people into BTC.
I agree with this. Flexcoin already is trying to tackle the Bitcoin Address problem (e.g. send BTC to "coffeeshop"), but, unfortunately, I don't yet trust ANY online Bitcoin service with holding my money for any long period of time. For me, TradeHill is as close as it gets yet I still have paranoia in the back of my mind of losing it all. It's a big problem to me when the terms of service imply that they are under no liability to owe you anything should their site say, 'happen' to go down, or 'happen' to be hacked. |

do get publicity!!!!
50% of the time dedicated to preparing for the conference should entail gathering media attention. I mean like 100-200 hours of pure commitment to this and this alone. It seems to me that time would be better spent making it newsworthy than pestering reporters for attention. Get something interesting going on, get a list of people to notify, notify them. Yes, that would be the other 50%.... |

Also provide us with some brief details of what you would like us to mention in terms of date, location, time, # of attendees, purpose, etc. once these are finalized so that we can include these in the emails. |

Agreed. There should have been way, way, way WAY more dedication to getting media coverage. An economy can't grow without investors, and you can't get investors if they don't know what the hell it is.
