haha everyone who is involved must contribute SOME amount of BTC, else they risk the possibility of what that may mean if any of the funds are recovered 

@virtual spade,

whats the best case scenario for investors who got ripped off if the law suit goes well?

Regards

Joey

Hello everyone,

The news we all have been waiting for has arrived...

Alberto Armandi will be prosecuted in Italy this September for the Labcoin case following the complain.

More details on how to claim your BTC from the case will become available later, after I discussed it more with the lawyer.

That is a worry if it is true, considering his company was the major sponsor of the bitcoin beltway conference. When was the money paid to Jasin?

Exchange timeline is not firm, we are ensuring security above all else. That was the first beta test, we are running more even now, partly for performance and partly for further debug.

We will be disclosing a timeline for the ASIC soon, that was what was referenced in that quote.

Hosting via proxy is correct, moustache wrote the base code, other team members took over from there and it is nearly finished.

Hello!
Please have a look at my new game. It's a Bitcoin inspired Action-RPG Game where you can earn REAL bitcoins by doing quests. It's still beta, and I really need some feedback! Does it run smoothly on your PC? It won't take you more than 5 minutes! Help us to make this game the best it can be! Thank you in advance!

We should know by mid June some firmer dates.

Αγαπητέ ιδιοκτήτη του btcgreece.

Όπως ήδη γνωρίζεις υπάρχει ανασφάλεια γύρω από το bitcoin σε όλο τον κόσμο.
Εγώ δεν θα κρίνω απλά να επισημάνω μερικά πραγματάκια:

1. Το να ψάχνεις πελάτες εδώ πέρα και να τους ειρωνεύεσαι δεν θα κερδίσεις κάτι
2. Δεν αναφέρεις πουθενά το ΑΦΜ, την διεύθυνσή σου, ένα τηλέφωνο επικοινωνίας. Οι πελάτες έχουν ανάγκη να ξέρουν ποιος επιχειρηματίας είναι πίσω από μια εταιρία, έστω και προσωπική.
3. Λες είναι προσωπική επιχείρηση. Και προσωπική επιχείριση να είναι έχει ΦΕΚ σύστασης. Γιατί δεν το εμφανίζεις.

Αυτά δεν στα λέω γιατί είμαι καχύποτος. Τα αναφέρω για να βελτιώσεις την εικόνα σου προς τους υποψήφιους πελάτες σου.
Χωρίς τα παραπάνω δεν θα βρείς κανέναν σοβαρό πελάτη και οι Τούρκοι συνεργάτες σου δεν θα είναι ευχαριστημένοι... Αλήθεια αυτοί έχουν ονόμα και φωτογραφίες τους (https://www.btctrader.com/#AboutUs).

Δεν νομίζω ότι χρειάζεται να κρύβεστε...

I have dealt with contractors from India just like this, take a job they cannot finish or even understand. Turn in code that makes no sense and is no where close to the guidelines set forth. Then getting mad when you tell them the work isnt correct and you will not pay them for it.

Thanks for the heads up.  If you have specific companies with details post them here when i have time I will do my own additional digging but untill then if you find anything else let me know.

Thanks again for the heads up.

Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding has undoubtedly become an important way for emerging and innovative companies to raise money. Look no further than Soylent (the high-profile and controversial food replacement product), which raised millions through crowdfunding.

Not surprisingly, entrepreneurs are developing bitcoin-powered companies and applications that could revolutionize both the crowdfunding field and the cryptocurrency space.

With the assistance of the bitcoin protocol, a company that wants to crowdfund can potentially avoid using current and perhaps more costly third-parties like Kickstarter and Indiegogo.

Examples of bitcoin crowdfunding platforms that are in development include Mike Hearn’s Lighthouse app and Joel Dietz’s Swarm (which describes itself as ‘the Facebook of crowdfunding’).

Unfortunately, crowdfunding’s (and thus bitcoin’s) ability to reach its full potential is stalled, for the time being. This is because the SEC has not yet issued rules that would allow crowdfunding as a way to sell equities in a company (ie: stock).
The background

In April 2012, Congress enacted the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (or JOBS Act), legislation meant to make it easier for small businesses to raise money. One way that Congress sought to do that was to allow companies to use crowdfunding to raise up to $1 million in a 12-month period.

However, because Congress believed crowdfunding could increase the possibility of investment fraud, it put in place some significant limitations. Those measures include limiting the amount of money that an investor can invest – up to $2,000 or 5% of the investor’s annual income (whichever is greater) – as well as requiring companies to crowdfund through an intermediary and to make certain disclosures to potential investors.

Congress also directed the SEC to issue rules to implement fraud protection.

Crowdfunding through an intermediary means working with either a registered broker-dealer or a funding portal registered with the SEC. For a crowdfunding website to qualify as a funding portal and sell equities, that website will have to be a member of FINRA, be registered with the SEC, and be subject to SEC examinations. As for the disclosure requirements, they will be substantial.

In October 2013, the SEC proposed rules to govern the offer and sale of securities through crowdfunding. If those rules are enacted (as is expected), a company will have to disclose:

    The identity and business experience of its directors, officers, and anyone who holds more than 20% of the company’s shares
    The nature of the business
    The risk factors in making the investment
    Any related-party transactions between the company and directors, officers, or family members
    Information about any other exempt offerings in past three years
    How it will use the funds that it raises
    Financial information about the company
    The amount and the terms of outstanding debt
    Information about the number, type and price of securities offered
    The target amount the company would like to raise and the deadline for reaching the target

Adverse consequences

It is now June 2014. When Congress enacted the JOBS Act in April 2012, it gave the SEC 270 days – until January 2013 – to adopt its rules. With that date now long past, and with the passage of eight months since the SEC proposal, one can only hope that the rules will be finalized by the end of this summer.

In the meantime, offering securities in a crowdfunding campaign, regardless of the country of origin, may and likely does violate SEC regulations, among other potential problems. Failing to wait for the SEC to finish its rule making risks an SEC investigation and significant adverse consequences, potentially even criminal consequences.

The SEC needs to enact the crowdfunding rules as soon as possible. Doing so will help everyone, including bitcoin enterprises that are developing crowdfunding applications, or that are hoping to tap into crowdfunding for raising money. Innovation should not have to wait any longer.

Dear River boat GOOD QUESTION.

I will reveal all once the list is mature.

At the moment it will serve as a warning and a reminder to prospective investors to do proper research on companies before they invest.

If someone else "invests", your dividends go down?  How's that?

Management Fee Bonus

100% of the management fee will be distributed to partners until 100% of their initial contributions have been recovered.

Example: If one person claimed 1,000 units and no more were sold that person would receive the full 10% of daily gross until their initial contribution was fully recovered. Paid daily.

I agree with this completely. Even with last paragraph - as you might read about Slush's stolen BTC some time ago.

On other hand(unrelevant) I don't believe that those USB sticks are more durable to situations like house fire(very high temperatures) or house beign destroyed(like earthquakes, etc.).


Hopefully there will be services in future that will guarantee your BTC won't be stolen/lost by some kind of insurence or something similiar so everyone running service with lot of BTC could use it for everybody's sake(even the owner). Because let's be clear, after BTC will become legal tender there won't be any difference between stolen/lost BTC and default/scam.
