Seems like crowdfunding websites aren't that flexible. Seems like what I'm asking for isn't out there. I'll perhaps contact BitPay directly to ask if I could use their service to host a donation page redirecting payments to a bank account meant for donations without being related to the receiving party.

So long story short, neucoin's foundation got people not really experienced with investments to put their name in there to expand their influence on audiences. Right?

But that's quite different from when pro athletes wear a brand of clothing. This brand of clothing is perfectly functioning, the athlete wearing doesn't risk his reputation. That's what makes me question the involvement of all those people mentioned in the coin. Are they actually involved in any way or were their names dropped solely for marketing purposes? Because contrary to other advertised projects, neucoin is so far very average at proving it's concept and many of it's promised features are barely functioning. How could the foundation afford getting all those people on board while they weren't even able to employ people for development.

It was obvious that the development was moving somewhat slowly, I think it was a wise decision to attempt handing the venture to a new owner. I'm positive that this could benefit development.

My humble opinion is this: You should pay some attention on if the new owner is going to be able to keep developing the next version of 2.0 based on the work that has already been done.

bump

I still refuse to believe that such high profile investors would bother with this...

account overview above

The marketing attached to this coin gives me a feeling that the super-majority of the budget was spent on ads instead of actual product development. Think of when the coin was announced and their major services aren't even fully launched yet.

I'm interested into selling my only mybitmine account.

This is allowed according to one of the site's admins. Full details available if anyone's interested.

If you don't know what this website is, it's a very fancy faucet where rewards get bigger as you upgrade equipment etc. The 2.0 version is coming out too which is going to be a more advanced game. Here's a link http://mybitmine.co/

People get salty when it comes to new released. It seems like bringing development under covers and moving to a dedicated forum worked worked for the team. We'll be able to judge them by the innovation after the release, even better after the source is out after the release.

Update: I tryied to sign up a BitPay account with the details of the party I mentioned. Steps require Government document as proof of identity to start having access to services. So BitPay is 100% out. I'll might try a crowdfunding website tomorrow.

It would be help private so it can remain profitable for a longer time. There would be no reason to flood the market with such a thing.

Old post, but you guys should have a look at this website. http://orderbook.info/

Basic design but Very useful

I'm not sure changetip would do the job. There are certain organizations that already accept donations through means like bank transfers or paypal but won't accept bitcoin. I'd be looking for a way for me as a third person to set up a campaign where donated BTC would be converted to FIAT and sent to their bank accounts. Without people having to put their trust on me on ebing honest with the liquidation of BTC though.

Sorta how bitpay converts received BTC and sends them to a bank account of the recipient, but this service would have to be set up from someone other than the party on the end of the transaction.

Hmm.. I'd be more interested on finding a service backed by a company to do this. Like bitpay for example. But I know bitpay in specific isn't available for individuals to set up donation campaigns. IMO there a are trust reasons that would prevent some people from donating through an anonymous third party.

Hello there. Ι was wondering if there's any service out there where I as an individual could use to direct other people's bitcoin donations to a publicly used account meant for donations.

Example, I want to urge people to donate to x party with bitcoin. x party only accepts bank deposits. I would need a trusted service that would convert all incoming transactions for the operation I set up to FIAT and send it to the bank address.

I'll agree that some of the people who followed the laucnh hype got burned. But then again, I don't think this 'dump' can be compared to any other altcoin. WHat was usually the case with altcoins without innovation was that just days after the launch the price would have reached the bottom low as the promised woul;d have proven unreachable. Ethereum still shows potential, although the press release from Butterin saying the foundation lost $9m worth of funds was met with a 20% drop, the price somewhat recovered.

That's true. I helped a friend of mine set up a cheap VPS for him to host a VoIP sever on it and he told me that he had to go through questioning after he filled the hard drive of the VPS with seemingly unrelated in one day.

For being what is is, I'd say that ethereum's launch wasn't as catastrophic as other launches have been. The price rebounded but it's not clear what'll be happening in the close future. While there was a lot of buzzwords and praising, I'm confident that Butterin spent more on development than advertising. The release proves the context to some extent, but as Butterin said, if no innovation comes from the community Ethereum won't be much of a success.

Read the ToS of the provider. Some applications might not be allowed, you wouldn't want to have what you're doing shut down. Perhaps hos a website, a server, store some files or all of those.

Today's the day Mike went 100% cray cray.
