So, how's the " Road Trip " coming along? Did you stop by Cointerra?
Hell, I'm still in Pensacola, FL. Got the turkeys outta the ground this afternoon of which, BTW, weren't fully cooked, but the process is continuing in conventional ovens as we speak. I'm finishing up the signs tomorrow, then hittin' the road to Biloxi. From there, it's to Austin to visit Cointerra's lab, hopefully see Atlas, and meetup with edd. From there, Laughlin, NV, then Las Vegas. Looks like it's goin' to be a 5,000+ mile trip. Can't wait to be stopped by the cops, asking me why there's two shovels in the truck. "Officer, you're not goin' to believe this, but I first drove down from Illinois to Pensacola to cook six $100 turkeys in the ground to feed homeless people." "And who does the tutu belong to?" "Thats mine! I'm going to wear it when I get to Las Vegas for the Bitcoin conference..." "Did you say Bitcoin?" "Yes. You see, I'm The Most Interesting..." "OMG, can I have a pic of you and me together? It's for my... my... nephew." ~TMI BTCITW Glad to see this post, Phin. I was just about to PM you to find out when you'd be in the area. If you don't find Atlas, I'll join you for a micro-pizza. I can't believe you're delivering them in person! You're not going to believe this, but all the micro-pizzas were eaten by a horde of homeless locusts.  We're going to have to settle on a conventional meal. I'm leaving Pensacola, FL, later in the afternoon, spending the night it Biloxi, MS. After that, I'm heading to Austin, TX, to visit CoinTerra's Lab. It's after that I wish to meet up you. Give me a call at 815-508-1668 so that I'll have your number and to make arrangements, edd. Bruno Kucinskas |

The man you just shook hands with probably masterbated using the same hand within the past 72 hours. Also, on average, they'll less likely to wash their hands on a regular basis.
That said, consider going for the full frontal hug if you're a compulsive hand shaker.

I almost didn't click the link, thinkin' it was NSFW, and I'm not quite ready for that this morning, but clicked I did, and have to agree that the pics are awesome. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I saw one that excited me.  ~TMI BTCITW |

This certainly helps building up hype.
There were these two guys, one on each of my shoulders, advising me on whether to quote the above or not. Guess which one won. |

Before you file the Form 1023 (the IRS application for 501c3 status) you need to...
1) Incorporate as a non for profit corporation in your state. Go to your state's Department of State and you can file the paperwork. NOTE make sure you include the required IRS language in your incorporation docs so when it's time to file Form 1023, you have it covered. The required language covers purpose, beneficiaries, dissolution.
2)Once the incorporation is done, file Form SS-4. Can be done online at irs.gov.
3) Then file form 1023 to get 501c3 recognition.
4) Also you will have to file a state equivalent for the form 1023, depending on which state you are in.
5) Also a good idea to have by laws written for you during step 1, although by laws are not required in the form 1023 process. by laws for non profits can be found for free online. These boilerplate by laws usually work for 99% of non profits out there.
If you still need advice or service, let me know. I'm not on here too much. I've sent you a PM.
Thanks, bud, and I did receive your PM. I have another question, of which can be answered by anybody in the know. Since the donations are all going to one entity (an NPO), with Typhoon Haiyan Relief Fund acting as an intermediary, of sorts, could donors use the 501(c)3 tax ID of that NPO, if named beforehand, for their tax needs, i.e. donation write-offs? Again, thanks in advance. Bruno Kucinskas |

More Frankie Dear Sally, Please meet my friend Dmitry. We met in business school and he now runs a foundation that is looking for worthy nonprofits to donate to. He just donated $1,000 each to my friend Jessie's IBME and my friend Amy's Primate Education Network. I think he will really appreciate the mission of The Nexus Fund. Dmitry's foundation is called BitCoin100. They arose out of the generosity of a few early BitCoin adopters to promote the value of the currency for nonprofits: when donors make their donations in BitCoins, the recipient nonprofit keeps 100% (hence the name). None of the funds are lost to credit card or processing fees. BitCoin100 donates $1,000 to selected nonprofits who agree to accept the currency on their donation page. It doesn't take much work to get it set up, but I know the money could do a lot of good helping your grantees fight atrocities. @Dmitry, Sally is a friend of mine who works at the same coworking space as I do. She is smart and friendly and works hard to make sure organizations on the ground in Africa are able to prevent and respond to mass atrocities in the most effective way. A $1,000 donation would be a big help with their projects. Good luck! I asked for a description of what it is they actually do, since the website just has vague goals without specifics. Here, do some light reading while you're on vacation  : http://ceas-serbia.org/root/images/2013_Global_Convening_To_End_Mass_Atrocities_Summary.pdf |

Good news! https://coinbase.com/securityCoinbase employees must pass a criminal background check as part of the hiring process. Whatever happened, it probably wasn't by an employee. |

I did get contacted by FinCEN... I probably can sell still, might have to KYC and/or report anything beyond $10k to Feds. Possibly might be other ideas to steer way clear of any definition of money transmitting. Don't know yet, and I need to err on side of caution. Will learn and then see what to do. Am still taking steps toward production of 2014 coins and a Bitcoin-enthused legal team working on it in the mean time.
Wow, I'm sorry to hear that happened. Everyone knows how much you did/do for Bitcoin awareness. I hope you get it straightened out soon. If you don't the collectible value of my Casascius coins will skyrocket but don't go out of business just for me. lol Good luck with your fight. How are casinos able to put these silver rounds in slot machines?  Upon winning them, you're able to redeem them at the register or sell them on eBay. Here's what I'm thinkin'. Don't sell them, but give them away via a carefully constructed raffle, where everybody that enters wins. Just thinkin' outside the box on this one, albeit it may not work. Sorry to read about your situation, Mike. ~TMI BTCITW |

@naphto: Thanks a lot for that link. At first glance, and with my limited French, it looks legitimate. Of course it could be doctored, but publicly uploading a photoshopped police document when you are a legally registered finance service provider would be a very bad idea. Also, looks like it was indeed filed with the French "cybercrime department" (not a literal translation), like Boussac said earlier.
Too bad that Paymium has a horrible way of communicating their decisions lately. A few days ago, I wrote an extremely polite (and not too long) PM to Boussac, asking for a scan of the police report, before deciding whether to open an account at bitcoin-central and transfering a substantial amount of Euro to them. Never got a reply, so I took my business to bitstamp instead. :/
@Phinnaeus: Jeez, could you perhaps dial it down, just a tad? I mean, your posts usually are pretty entertaining, but you're not helping anybody (including yourself) with your method. One moment, you're all official "Dear Mr Boussac, I politely request that you upload...", only to be followed up, in BRIGHT RED LETTERS, by something like "Hey Boussac, you fucked me in the ass and now you don't even go for a reach-around, what the hell?". I get it, responses by Paymium are frustrating (and I didn't even lose money or time to them), but it'd probably be more helpful to make up your mind if you want to address things seriously or go for a vulgar style.
@Boussac/Paymium: Your company's communication with the public is terrible. You really need someone to do better PR for you, for example by speaking for your company on this forum. I remember that davout was pretty good at it, but he probably has more important things to do at the moment.
Please consider hiring someone for that role (communicating properly, and in time, with your customers and potential customers), or set aside some time to do it each day.
I can guarantee you, you lost several potential customers for bitcoin-central because of that problem, and it's kind of sad, because I actually like the approach you're taking with bitcoin-central, trying to legitimize bitcoin trading by registering your business in France, and partnering with aqoba.
Looks like heeding your advice didn't help either. I'm still out 1,132+ BTC (claiming 1,123+ BTC due to a lapse in memory, giving InstaWallet the benefit of the doubt). Three wallets were submitted on the very first day that option was available, in spite of glitches. One wallet contained exactly 1,000 BTC. The second wallet contained either 132 or 123 BTC, albeit I believe it's the former, but claimed the latter. The third wallet contained exactly 0.835 BTC of which can be viewed here: https://www.instawallet.org/w/sMceOus2wYrDVAHxA5BssBwB7kgDqC9r4QNeither one of those two claims are mine, and am not sure if my claim is included among those two, even though not shown publicly. The other two IW URLs are: https://www.instawallet.org/w/rL2DhMWW9tDvs24oFwtiq99zhh7A3ii6bghttps://www.instawallet.org/w/gZh1afVVl5aAtjNwXo0BiYChTxjwln33abUp until recently, I've learnt that the final part of the URL is what's considered the key, in spite of trying figure out what was meant by a key each time it was used by Team InstaWallet, namely Boussac, in the main IW threads. I've since resubmitted claims to the two IW accounts above and have yet received a single email sent to me from anybody at InstaWallet stemming all the way back to when I first submitted all three claims. The disputed 1Jpp... wallet I am unable to resubmit a claim, for it's locked with no such options available. We are now 8 months out since the hack, and I was assuming that I would be returned my bitcoins at some point after the 90 day period due to the size of two of the claims, with no problem receiving the smaller wallet early on since I was one of the first, I believe, to submit a claim(s). To date, in spite again of a myriad of requests, no InstaWallet principle has share with us who their independent auditor is/was, though there's no reason for this information to remain secret. All three of these claims are legitimate and, according to the "block chain", as far as I can ascertain, InstaWallet has more than enough in their coffer to pay back what is rightfully mine. This has gone on far enough, and I've held my vitriol attacks, mostly, due to the fine post of which I've quoted above. My next course of action may consist of a full dox of all principles involve in the scam section, and perhaps elsewhere, if this is not resolved immediately. Apologies, if the above comes across as a threat, but currently I'm left with few options, seeing that I've yet received any communications from any principles of InstaWallet. Bruno Kucinskas |

don't worry, they are cops.. you can bribe them with a generous paper wallet. at least you could convert them to the dark side Interesting! What stops a person from giving a cop a piece of paper that has a useless public and private key on it, stating it can be redeemed for one bitcoin, currently valued at $1K(?)? Also, tell the cop it's untraceable. The above may work until Bitcoin becomes more mainstream, eh? ~TMI BTCITW |

A little over two years too late: http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/11/mf_bitcoin/When they weren’t busy mining, the faithful tried to solve the mystery of the man they called simply Satoshi. On a bitcoin IRC channel, someone noted portentously that in Japanese Satoshi means “wise.” Someone else wondered whether the name might be a sly portmanteau of four tech companies: SAmsung, TOSHIba, NAKAmichi, and MOTOrola. It seemed doubtful that Nakamoto was even Japanese. His English had the flawless, idiomatic ring of a native speaker. |

Heh, talk to Goat. He will tell you that VIPs and Donators don't get special treatment when it comes to moderation. That being said, I'd imagine it has to do with the logic, that the majority of donators and VIPs aren't going to pay the money to get the title, and then cause trouble and get themselves banned. They have a financial stake in their account, so it would make sense that they would be more conciencious.
That being said, Satoshi is the only person who gets special consideration. It is strictly against the rules for anyone to touch Satoshi's posts, not that anyone would want to.
I think it should be forbidden to even read any of Satoshi's posts, except by a Satoshi Lama when the moon is full, tide is high, AND when bitcoins are going up, up, up. One could still quote Satoshi if they are a card-carrying Satoshite, but only if their paid membership dues are up-to-date. ~TMI BTCITW |

Yeah. You can double-check the SSL certificate if you want. SHA1 fingerprint should be 29 0e cc 82 2b 3c ce 0a 73 94 35 a0 26 15 ec d3 eb 1f 46 6b
All letters in my SHA1 fingerprint are full Caps. 29 0E CC 82 2B 3C CE 0A 73 94 35 A0 26 15 EC D3 EB 1F 46 6B Let's pretend for a sec that I don't have a clue as to where to look for the above. Remember, we're only pretending, but any help would be appreciated by those who don't know how to pretend. ~TMI BTCITW |
