I for one am pro-electrum. We're using it in a new product of ours.

Regular bitcoin client just isn't scalable, especially on mobile platforms.

Imagine 2,000,000 people downloading the blockchain but not serving it also. It would kill it.

Classic. Password compromised, blame service for thief's actions instead of own insecure habits.

And receive it you shall.

I don't agree. We've already apologized for being late and at this point so late in the production process, anything ingenious ideas to 'speed it up' more would involve even more setbacks. We're being very smart about this, as painful as it is to see people annoyed, I stand by my decisions and smile at the work we've done so far, knowing just how many people will be surprised when they finally hold the glossy #80 industry standard perfect binded 64 page 4-color treasure that is the first ever magazine representing Bitcoin.

Who's excusing them? I'm proud of the current delays. The previous delays were due to lack of foresight. The current delays are just flat out man-hours. Full page illustrations aren't cheap and they aren't quick. Thanks for waiting though! I sure as hell won't be calling our artists and telling them to "hurry up" since they've been given an actual contracted period of time to complete them which requires additional review after the fact. The system that is in place now however, will make subsequent issues a timely and satisfying experience for all.

We've already produced something, I'm just not letting it be published without achieving some moderate level of perfection. You'll thank me later. So will Wired magazine when they write about us.

I think what you mean is, "Waiting on you to set a deadline that can't be guaranteed so more people can have more reason to be upset". No thanks. As much as I troll, I'm not dumb enough to fall into that trap. "I promise we will deliver on Monday!". What happens when we can't deliver on Wednesday because of a printing error that has nothing to do with us?  We'll announce it when it's ready, and it will be the happiest day of the year for us.

There is no delay. We are on schedule. The schedule itself was delayed before. We're running full speed now on a system that actually works. Just because I'm not going to make shit up and tell everyone a definite date doesn't mean it couldn't happen tomorrow. I understand the frustration, but it's unwarranted at this point. Jimmy has fixed the flat tire and is riding home now. You can stop calling his cell phone to ask where he is.

Agreed. And I haven't stopped hearing the end of it from the other professionals I work with. "Matthew, why in God's name did you tell these people 2 months ago that we'd have a magazine? You should have waited until we actually published it." Lesson learned.

Can't wait till next month when the complaints will be in a subject other than history.

This auction ended.

The last bidder (and highest) was Jonathan Ryan Owens.

I'll PM you with instructions.

Thanks guys!

Except when in their own naivety they have come to believe that the ignored party in question is even remotely related to any negative outcome in their flawed investment "strategies". I enjoy being hated by ignorant people so it's a small price to pay to keep 5,114 times that many people entertained and educated.

Because I paid theymos to make it that way?

I assume the reason it's the specific color it is though is because there are 10 people (out of 51,168 total members here) who don't agree with my criticisms but don't possess the linguistic savvy to articulate their defense so they resort to complete avoidance of all challenges. Either that or proof positive that I'm one of the more entertaining people here.

What country are you from, Dansker? I don't know about other countries, but at least in the USA it is common practice to sell what is called "subscriptions". It is basically pre-ordering and reserving a fixed amount of issues to be delivered at a later date.

And his lack of response is not from his teddy bear advising him to remain silent. (It's because he knows he's wrong.)

o.


Then ignore my entire post.

... and Bitcoin, and its' developers, and most of its supporting userbase.

Aww. You're handicapped, aren't you?

Check this out.

I can do a search for my name and find 20 references to being a teacher, what I've bought in the past 10 months, and all of my businesses, even my home address! Not impressive faggot.

(Also, lol@thinking I'm a teacher still. That was sufficiently years ago now.)

Now go on about your idiotic non-lawsuit which is not happening anywhere other than your imagination.


EDIT: Back on topic:


Has your lawyer / teddy bear dressed in her sunday best at your imaginary tea party told you yet that in a lawsuit you need evidence? I haven't seen any yet.

Also, you're going to get a huge surprise if and when you actually do try to sue Bitcoinica. You'll find out soon enough.

Okay, meelba, let me start off by saying

Aww.  

I saw already. You look-up a friend.

I would gladly subscribe.

He knows. This is like the 40th thread on 2 years about this

Obviously it's irrelevant if it's related to your private business. Thread title was "Our Bitcoin spokesperson". If people wouldn't want Bruce Wagner as the spokesperson..

Now that it's been clarified that's a private endeavor unrelated to the forums, our opinions, butcoin community, etc, there is nothing to say. ^^

They're trying their best to stop me.

I'm a Velociraptor. Although the guy dancing in my avatar does reflect my inner energy (although even I think he's insane when I look at him. I mean. just look at him. What is going through his mind when he dances like that. I mean, just wow. Wow.)

Oh you mean as opposed to the existing criminal element better known as the legitimate world?
