Question about Forum finances

[Jhanzo]

If you haven't donated why is this anyone's business much less concern?

It's true that this is none of the 'normal' users' business but I do like to see how the forum is going.  The auctions and adstats tells a lot but knowing more doesn't hurt, the forum might be in a bad shape and the users won't even know it (to do anything about it).

That's how much it cost to rent the yacht out in the Bahamas for last year's Staff Christmas party.

I thought blockstream paid for that, or at least them paying for that party would explain all the blockstream speakers there. I was also under the assumption that the party cost a lot more then $40k

Well, I am happy to know that the forum is doing well. This talk about listing it on the stock exchange is interesting, does that mean forum members can buy shares sometime in the future?

Hi theymos,

I wanted to open this public thread just to ask you if it is possible to post the current forum finances. Basically a thread/update like this : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=780707.0


Thanks for the attention.

Wow they spent a sh*t tonne on this forum in 2013. I wasn't on this forum when it happened, does anyone know what changes occurred? I also quite curious to see what it has become since then.

Not exactly. 2013 was the time just before Gox, when the bitcoin price was $1200, wasn't it? The value of bitcoin was multiple times more expensive than in the year before.

It's good to see forum is covering it's expenses and making sime profit from ads. Except the expenses for new forum software are covered from forum reserve.

No, he was being sarcastic.
