Friedcat just confirmed via email that he transferred my shares. Thanks Goat and John for a great auction!
Great, I'll be contacting Goat enquire about which address should I use again. If everyone's shares have been confirmed, it would be better if I could release everything in one go. Same address as before will be fine, Thanks. Same address is fine but I would rather use 13twB8MBNxbjMDvHrXdyh15T2ZKfsEhz8g I have asked John to hold onto the coins for 24 hours or so just so we can do this all at once. Thanks. I haven't heard from friedcat yet, I assume I'm not the only one and he's still working towards it though. I know he's a busy man. |

i'd strongly recommend share-alike and non-commercial is optional if you are worried about other sellers.
This is a business, I think you are describing something else. |

I have a suggestion: I think you would have much higher quality shirts if you offered a shirt designer tool (and maybe share of profit to the people making designs). I say this because I considered ordering a t-shirt, but couldn't find one that suits my taste (I want much smaller logo (chest) and a better anti-bank slogan).
I think this alone would be a great tool. Especially if it allowed use of pre-created images that could be 'placed','sized' etc. Not only shirts, but other objects as well.  Having a shirt design tool gets into copyright issues for sure. There are plenty of great designers that can do work as contractors. If you really want a bunch of random designs from the public, just use a crowdsourcing website, no? Super cheap, and you get tons of options. Personally, I think the best route is to have a process for determining great ideas, implementing them as great designs, and avoiding clutter in the store with unpopular designs. |

My guess is that there's room for at least a few more similar competing currencies to thrive, re: LTC is silver to BTC as gold.
No If they function similarly, couldn't there be a ton of value in having LTC as a hedge? No If this is true, why is the price stagnating while BTC is rising so steady and fast? Because it's not true If Litecoin is useless, does that make all other alternative cryptos useless? Let's rephrase your question: "If Bitcoin provides all the functionality that people need right now, how can another currency provide usefulness?" Litecoin is crap. This is narrow-minded BS. To the OP, you are getting the right idea. Bitcoon can easily work in tandem with litecoin. The stagnation of ltc is more related to it having to compete with every other altcoin and scamcoin for 2nd place. Altcoin miners are more likely to go whre the short term gains are. The irony is that if everyone supported only btc and ltc, ltc woiuld start appreciating much more. Hang in there. |

Why does this look exactly like the ZigGap OP? Are the issues related? I'm thinking, they were written up by a PR man working for BitFunder (i.e. it might not be a 'bad' reason). Please inform! ty
Has nothing to do with ZigGap. We have been around much longer than they have.. Thanks for the question. It didnt really answer the question. I noticed the same thing and it looks suss. It also opens a can of worms if you copied and pasted and broke the authors copyright and now they can sue you for it. Not that it is likely but you never know, the way copyright is these days. Copyright infringement on a bitcoin stock description? Probably a stretch. I'm pretty sure Bitfunder helped write both of them, hence the similarity. |

BFL takes refunds for anyone who ordered in 2013, I'm told.
Customers could probably take the money and buy some SDICE shares or something, and make more BTC than whenever those ASIC machines show up...

I could just see the impending bump in the charts. However, that invisible wall at 30.40 might be real.

Mining stocks and maybe the bonds issued by them seem to be the only thing currently besides gambling that seem to be stable enough to survive in a bitcoin only economy.
How are mining investments more stable in the face of an unknown number of ASICs being released at an unpredictable pace? |

I expect for the profit to increase in the coming months. This will be mainly due to us opening up retail sales of Bitcoin. We are currently working out a deal with PayLeap which will enable us to take debit card purchases for instant Bitcoin. If this deal goes through we will be one of the first Bitcoin Retailers to except debit pin codes. We are also exploring more ways that we can safely deliver Bitcoins to our growing fanbase. We have made these profits with virtually no paid advertising. We are now going to be investing in a variety of paid advertising options including taking out a FULL PAGE ad in Bitcoin Magazine, and getting some community giveaways going to promote sales and awareness. I am heavily invested in Bitcoin myself, and I only seek to increase the value of my investment, and with that said I make sure everything I do is done for the betterment of all Bitcoin not just a few. Find out more about me here: http://bitcoinmagazine.com/uptweet-social-media-and-bitcoin-meet-again/BTCPride sells bitcoins? Why don't you have this advertising info in your stock description, that's good stuff! |

Would guess they saw ZigGap sell a ton with no real plan, no record, no projections etc and figured they may as well copy the contract and get a load of BTC themselves. Heck I'm tempted to make an alt, register a domain and sell 50 million shares myself - just need to sell 10 million 'cheap' at an Early Bird price and people will just throw their money my way to get in on the 'bargain'. Have you gone through our products? We worked really hard on the site. We seek to continue the same level of quality that we are achieving now. What I see from your limited gfinancials is that you launched 3 months back and sales have declined ever since - suggesting once you'd tapped your initial fan-club of purchasers there was little revenue left to be had. Generally when investing I look for a company whose sales increase - not decline: hence my mention of projections. What dividend/share do you expect to be paid in March, April, May etc? That's the sort of information I'd like to see - but can't really fault you for not giving it given the willingness of the community to throw money at people who provide no information at all. We all saw how everyone got burned first time round doing that - guess it needs a 2nd round to drive the point home. Hopefully you aren't one of the companies proving how idea + marginally profitable business + investment does NOT automatically mean profit (but statistically there's probably about a 90% chance you are). Looking at sales, it's possible the exposure from the IPO alone could keep them on track... I wanna see marketing plans and projections too: Advertising (Google Adwords), PR (hype machine and customer/investor support), better web designs, etc. In general, bitcoin businesses seem to be pretty lackluster at communications. Maybe I should start a bitcoin marketing biz... Sorry I think this thread might be getting hijacked a bit, I'll stop. |

Healthy skepticism. I do think exchanges and IPOs will improve over time. Bitcoin investing is still much more risky than most people admit to themselves. Plenty of room for improvement. |

If you think its a low volume day you are mistaken. Usually a low volume day is a signal for a storm; same day midnight or next day. Be ready and don't forget to fasten your seatbelt  The "day" just started 18 minutes ago. About to start going up again. |

25% of the shares sold in the time it took me to take a shower, good job |

How will you handle that you accept both BTC and fiat? Does one currency get converted to other daily, monthly, or?

Also note that I've contacted with you to warn about that I will not pay. (I've not just disappeared at last moment...)
Thing is, no matter whether you notified me or not: the bids you posted are binding, it is irrelevant why you did not finalize your part of the deal. I don't really mind, since I am not loosing anything by keeping those shares. But since you are active on other auctions, do yourself a favor and bid only for what you can afford to pay. You get banned from eBay doing this once and you might get your account on this forum tagged if you end up with someone who is not equally lenient. +1 |

Anybody got their shares already? Quite a few are popping up on Bitfunder.
@ Goat: Your spelling "betatester" instead of "Betatester" in auction #1 list won´t cause any probs, right?
I see no ASICMINER on Bitfunder, are you sure? |

Erik could use that as promo. As Ukto noted in chat, something like, "I just won a new car from Satoshi Dice!" |
