so did anybody get wire transfer details yet? or is this delay what they meant with serving bitcoin buyers first?

Jalapeno @ position 1924, but I use bank transfer so by the time they get the money the counter will probably be at 3000

did I understand you correctly that you will also invest in real life conventional stuff and not only in the bitcoin sector? I respect your decision to keep your investment strategy to yourself but could you give us a rough estimate of the % off your funds invested irl? I ask because there are few companies listed on glbse that are part of the "normal" economy so your fund would be more interesting for diversification reasons.

Depends, if you want to look at "percentages to meatspace" right now I try to keep it pretty low because I don't want to take the chance on being short bitcoin at the moment. More importantly though, it's starting to get to the point where I am using bitcoin in real life all the time, facilitating trade without being converted to fiat.  A reliable way to hedge would change this though, it was pretty bad timing that I launched this asset and bitcoinica went down almost right away.
thank you for answering quickly. I didn't mean capital tied up in real physical assets only, something like a digital brokerage account with classic "normal" stocks would also count. One of my perceived weakpoints of glbse is that if you look at it most stocks are preoccupied with the currency itself. I think that for long term growth it will be necessary that I can use my bitcoins to invest in stuff like real estate or pharmaceutical companies or the like and not just in the equivalent of the banking sector.

for your information, your site gets blocked and flagged as potentially dangerous by my antivirus, "ESET NOD32 Antivirus". I know that this might just be a false positive, but you should probably look into solving this.

I see my bitcoin holdings as gambling for nerds. Acording to http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=21000000+%2F+world+population evenly distributed everyone would own 0.00309 bitcoins, so even owning one bitcoin gives you the theoretial buying power of 323 average people. I'm part of the 1%  Grin (of bitcoin)

I don't know about the others, but Bitcoinmarket24 has a german bank account so if you choose the germany option while ordering you don't even have to do a sepa tranfer, just an ordinary national one. Lowers the entry barrier a bit in case he is not familiar with sepa transfers.

I'm all for supporting open source project by donations, but if you want people to give you money you should also give them a reason to trust you. neither you post nor your sites faq reflect this so perhaps you should work on that.

I mined a little when I upgraded my gpu to a 6870, but stopped rather soon again. I would have had to get into cpu untervolting because of a wastefull 125W amd, and I have several internal data hdds who would have idled uselessly. So instead of having my pc run 24/7 forever I just spend a few bucks and got the same result.

I can't really judge the necessarity of this measure, but it is quite inconvenient for me, since I want to do 99% reading and have only felt the need to comment a few times since I discovered this forum a few months back and have therefore always been to lazy to make an account so far.
anyway, posts ++1, now where to find those 3 other opportunities to have something to say.
