I likely won't be offering my services starting now for the foreseeable future.

If you are interested in inquiring about purchasing any pre-made scripts, I will still sell them.

Any updates?

Still working on the software!

First parts I got I had a defective touch screen shield and had to wait another long period of time to receive the replacement.

Many of the kickstarters dont do anything after getting all the funds they receive.

Very true.

We will be posting an announcement thread with pictures and videos showcasing the prototype most likely mid June.
We are going to be raising capital through VC and other private investors.

Will provide more updates soon.

Looking to buy bulk BTC.

Will use trusted escrow of my choice.

Payment can be made via cash deposit into any major US bank, cash via mail, wire transfer, or any other easy method of payment from a bank account that's manageable for all parties (buyer, seller, & escrow).

Message me if you're looking to sell.

Thanks.
5  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Coinbase Cheating on my BTC as price fluctuates on: May 29, 2014, 08:57:01 PM
They have to comply with governmental policies and restrictions.

If it's cancelled it's because it has been deemed high-risk.  PayPal does the same thing except they limit your account and make you wait 6 months to withdraw your funds.

They didn't cheat you at all.  They are an MSB and they're doing their best to prevent any financial wrong-doings.

Whether or not you were doing anything malicious, they will never know.  Their risk dept. decided that for them.

From January to December every year since inception Bitcoin has risen AT LEAST 2.50x it's value.  If the pattern doesn't waiver, you should profit.

It could be a difficult act to follow this time around. The fact that it shot up so much means that trying to maintain at least 2.5x growth is nuts. Hell, we may be looking at shrinkage this year, who knows.

Interesting point you make though.

You're right that we're not on track but I remember when I thought the same thing when it lingered at 100 USD for months until it shot to 300 and then eventually 1,150 within a month.

We'll see -- hopefully it does follow the trend we've seen thus far.

Interested.

Can I ask why so cheap?
9  Economy / Gambling / Re: Dice Game for any crypto coin on: May 25, 2014, 09:04:00 PM
Still for sale if anyone is interested.

2 BTC or the equivalent via USD is the price.

If you want to purchase it and have exclusive rights to the code and project PM me to discuss.

Here's a video of a ticker running on Raspberry Pi (still connected to PC though): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBOvH2jCFwM

Cool stuff.

Raspberry Pi is great but it's not practical due to its price.
11  Economy / Services / Re: Bitcoin Web Developer&Designer/Make your ideas realities - iOS/Android apps too on: May 24, 2014, 07:16:16 PM
If you have any questions or are interested in talking to me about a project feel free to contact me regardless.
12  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Kickstarter idea (bitcoin price LED ticker) on: May 23, 2014, 08:51:51 PM
Primary drawback is they don't take bitcoin.
On Indiegogo you can set up "Flexible funding" where you're given the money even if your goal is not reached (Indiegogo takes 9% fee vs 4% when goal is reached), and you can let people know in the campaign's text that they can contribute with bitcoin as well. It's not against the rules, I know from personal experience. Not sure about Kickstarter, they might be more strict with this.

Indiegogo is what we'd use if we did crowdfunding.
We are looking to go the same route that https://onlycoin.com which is accepting pre-orders once everything is established and we have perfected the prototype and release videos and pictures.

That way we could accept both Debit/Credit and Bitcoin for pre-orders, and use the funds from pre-orders to buy materials.

You'll know once it hits the market.  Don't worry. Smiley
14  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Kickstarter idea (bitcoin price LED ticker) on: May 22, 2014, 09:16:55 PM
We considered indiegogo but we are now talking to investors too.
There are pros and cons for both and hope you understand whichever route we take.

It is wireless and will connect via WiFi.
Ah, okay.

Cool. WPA2/TKIP and all that? And what price range are we looking at? And what's the physical size?

It would have to get FCC approved too, right? How long does that take?

And just to throw some more ideas at it now, lol: Red color when price lowers a lot, orange when it lowers a little, green when it grows. Maybe 24 hour graph if it's not too complicated for the display.

Another idea: give me a discount for being the catalyst of this project, lol!

FCC approval isn't required to sell the product, however, it is something we will do.

link to indiegogo campaign if we go that route
So you are going to fund the batches all by yourself? Why NOT go the Indiegogo/Kickstarter route and let people help you fund it? Unless you've got a lot of money to spend...

And are we talking wireless devices, or connected to router/PC with a cable?

We considered indiegogo but we are now talking to investors too.

Update:

We are waiting for our Federal Tax ID number before opening necessary bank accts. for both Stripe & Coinbase accounts to process payments.
Announcement thread is looking like it will be posted around the beginning of June at this point.

So this is a sign that you're 100% going through with this now, right? The EIN and whatnot being obtained.

Yes we are 100% going through with this.  We think we can fill a demand and want to be first to the market.
We are going to have two options: one with and one without a touch screen.

When we first release it will have the ability to toggle between currencies and 3-5 different exchanges.

I probably shouldn't have made that post  I'm just really excited.

Patiently await the announcement and hopefully you'll like it.
Ah, no problems man. And I think I will. Could you post the link to the announcement on here as well? That way I won't miss it.

Of course!

The announcement thread will include the landing page for the website, pictures of the prototype, link to indiegogo campaign if we go that route, prices of each one, twitter, facebook, etc.

It will most definitely be posted here and advertised around forum.
18  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Kickstarter idea (bitcoin price LED ticker) on: May 22, 2014, 07:00:52 PM
General, I mean no disrespect, but could you a picture as proof of the prototype (with you holding up a piece of paper with your name on it)? People on Bitcointalk and Bitcoiners in general are very suspicious about pre-orders. Could you also link us to the website, Facebook page, proof of LLC, and so on?

Of course.

Completely understand.

When the announcement thread is posted everything will you mentioned will be in it.
Ah, glad to hear that man! Can't wait Grin

The issue is the goal is to keep it to where it doesn't need a device like a phone to handle it. It would just be a ticker that uses like your router and automatically updates or something.
Yeah, exactly. Needing a mobile phone to control it or a computer running 24/7 to control it just isn't that useful...

Well I won't be building it, so it doesn't help me, but hopefully it'll help an engineer. A little too big for my taste, though.

It'd be great if somebody found a wireless module for $10. All I found were $40+...

There have to be cheaper wireless modules, being that you can even buy USB WiFi adapters for $10-15. Sadly, I wouldn't even know where to start with any of this stuff.

I've got a prototype, registered an LLC, registered a domain, got a website, established financials (bank acct., etc.), custom emails, setup Stripe & Coinbase accounts.

Within the next week or two we will begin taking pre-orders or go to Indiegogo for crowdfunding.  The only potential drawback of indiegogo is that people interested in backing the project wouldn't be able to do so using Bitcoin.

We are going two offer two different versions: one with a touch-screen, and one without.  As you could expect the ticker with the touch-screen will be a bit pricier.

I have created a twitter, facebook, and separate bitcointalk account just for this project and business.  If anyone has any questions feel free to ask here or when we post the announcement thread around the beginning of June.

I can't wait to start producing these and shipping in the coming month or two!
