That would be a crowd puller for forum.bitcoin.com. I am awaiting for a signature campaign to kick start at that forum.

[dothebeats]

Wow, the schedule is kinda jam-packed! That's a lot of AMA speakers, the question is, would there be anyone who would gladly ask questions to them?

[neurotypical]

That's a lot of money invested into trying to get traffic on his website I guess.. it's just a lot of people. It's a good way to get traffic tho, get interesting people on board and people will follow. Of course I expect plenty of XT propaganda around that forum which is not worth my time to be honest. Maybe if they deliver better signature campaign deals i'll consider dropping by but this is still my main forum.

[coinpr0n]

Nice list, I guess. I'll be looking forward to the TLDR by CoinTelegrah xD ... also, noteworthy: the list is in alphabetical order.

[knight22]

Impressive list! I'll certainly stop by and ask a few questions.

[gentlemand]

I think a drip feed would've worked better. That's AMA overload in anyone's books. There might be a bit of thumb twiddling from the people in the list.

[iCEBREAKER]

I think a drip feed would've worked better. That's AMA overload in anyone's books. There might be a bit of thumb twiddling from the people in the list.

Ver is desperately rushing to get his faltering XT forum back on track ASAP.

I doubt anyone will bother to show up for the AMA overload, besides astroturfers wanting to win his 'please use my crap forum' bribes.

Here's a sneak preview.

"If you had to pick one, what is your favorite thing about XT?"

"What are the top ten reasons you hate Blockstream?"

"Which infamous mass-murdering authoritarian head of government does theymos most remind you of?"

"How can Bitcoin.com beat the fierce competition from bitco.in, and /v/bitcoinxt?"

"Is Bitcoin Unlimited the future of XT?"

"When you are able to trade your 1MB Bitcoins for XTcoins, how will you celebrate?"

"My connection is fast enough to access much larger blocks, so why are those Core dorks so worried about the verify and amplify stages?"

"Can we blacklist Chinese miners and pools from XT, to save us from the yellow peril?"

"I set up an XT node using a free DigitalOcean trial, but nothing happened; will crying moar help?"

"Is it true that every time a transaction gets priced out of Bitcoin and uses an altcoin instead, Satoshi orphans a block in anger?"

"How harshly should the UN sanction Reddit and Bitcointalk for their censorship, oppression, and human rights violations?"

"Why does XT get blamed for setting back the price, when it was clearly all Adam Back, GMAX, Szabo, and Wlad's fault?"

"Do you find it strange XT has united inveterate Buttcoiners like Jorge Stolfi with Maximalist Monopolist Supremacists like Frap.....BBZZZZT TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES...PLEASE STAND BY....

I just read that earlier Today. That will certainly bring more attention to his forum.

[chek2fire]

i dont like roger ver. Bitcoin community seems to split between the ideologist anarcho capitalist and to them that they want simple to do business. Roger Ver is among them the person that want to do business with bitcoin and that try to organise a hijack of it. The first attempt was with BitcoinXt nonsense. Now the same "business team" team try to split the community and lure them in his own copyright forum. Good Luck with it..

If you followed him on Facebook (or Twitter), you'd know that he's pretty much an anarcho-capitalist. He gave up his U.S. nationality for a St. Kitts and Nevis passport and is now living in Japan.

[MemoryDealers]

To be clear,  I'm in favor of Bitcoin scaling.
I don't care if it is with bigger blocks, lighting network or something else, as long as people maintain control over their own money.

I love the Blockstream team and the projects they are working on too.

I don't hate Theymos,  I just disagree with his moderation policies,  but respect his right to do what he wants with his property.

I'm involved with bitcoin because I want to separate money from the control of governments.

I would love to discuss these ideas with more of you on the forum that actually allows dissenting opinion.

I just read that earlier Today. That will certainly bring more attention to his forum.

More importantly, it ll get even more attention to BTC. Also, the timing could not be better, BTC s going up and up and this additional press coverage could push it up even more. 

[iCEBREAKER]

I'm in favor of Bitcoin scaling.

So say we all.

Mr. BTC Jesus, why are you so enthusiastically willing to sacrifice BTC's decentralization/survivability for a chance at non-orthogonal scaling?

Did you cut a deal with the feds?  Something like 'Support XT, and we'll keep you out of Gitmo' perhaps?  (Where is your secret warrant/national security letter canary?)

Or do you simply disagree with with my (and Sztorc's) definition of decentralization, wherein it is equated to the cost of running a full (access|verify|amplify) node?

If you do, please explain why.

Fredo, you broke my heart.  You broke my heart...

 

[NorrisK]

Impressive list! Unfortunately for them their forum is acting all weird, keeps sending me back to the landing page as soon as I want to open a thread.

Also, can't get used to their lay-out. Simple > "good looking".

But this will definately be a crowd puller!

[mezzomix]

Bitcoin is money so poeple want to do business with it. Heresy!

And Bitcoin is a P2P system. For the ones that need a leader/master we have fiat.

[Lauda]

-snip-

This seemed like a nice idea until I came across of your post. Where did you get those questions from? Can you please leave a link as I'm unable to go looking for them myself at the moment.
I loved the one about UN. How should the UN sanction BTCT for not wanting to listen to someones bullshit? A real violation of rights indeed.  

[Corealz]

The bitcoin community deserves competition just like anything else. Having multiple active forums will just show how popular it is.

[Proxiebuier]

The list includes such big names as:

    Patrick Byrne CEO of Overstock
    Andreas M. Antonopoulos
    Gavin Andresen
    Erik Voorhees, CEO of Shapeshift.io
    Dan Moorhead, CEO of Pantera Bitcoin
    Wences Casares, CEO of XAPO
    Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Circle
    Stephen Pair, CEO of Bitpay
    And dozens more CEOs from the Bitcoin industry!

it's very Good news
