I can confirm that very big, positive things for bitcoin are happening behind closed doors

If u can't give more info let's play a game. Choose a word that decribes these things in the best way and let us know how many letters in the word and what the 1st letter is.

I'd call bull $#!t if it wasn't Vlad. What are you up to bro?

[SgtSpike]

This from the guy who has Bitcoins in the 6-digits worth USD in the 8-digits.

I'm going our on a limb here, but I have a guess:

Hats. All kinds of hats.  bitcoinhats.com

A thread befitting of Matthew.

I doubt this one, cause bitcoin foundation hasn't done anything beside have someone else redesign a website, after they asked too, and throw an overcharge conference.

Who said it has anything at all to do with the Bitcoin Foundation?

You conspiracy nuts are... nuts.

What more closed then the bitcoin foundation, but if it has nothing to do with that, which I doubt, then share what does it involved gives us more information. LOL I like how you call me nuts indirectly, cause I am pretty sane LMAO

[Herodes]

Well,

While having absolutely no idea what Vladimir is talking about,

I can confirm that very big, positive things for bitcoin are happening behind closed doors

Yes - we have no doubt that things are playing out in the background. As you're one to trust, I take your words at face value. However, you must be aware of Vladimir's grandious personality, and due to his russian heritage (chuckle), you can be sure to know that at least 10% of what's coming from him is worth believing. With the current momentum bitcoin has, it's no wonder that things are happening behind the scenes. It will be interesting in the future to see what this is.

The places you haven't even heard about.... Vladimir is not a member btw.

[chmod755]

Wasn't talking about vlad, we all know he aint a member and I was talking to jgarzik, you can read the context right in that post.

If you stopped reading every post and taking other people on bitcointalk.org serious you'd have enough time to provide a good alternative to the Bitcoin Foundation....

are you surfing the forums without pants again?

[lebing]

While there is a good possibility he does actually have insider knowledge, this 2 year, big things for bitcoin is a bit obvious, no? I would be VERY surprised if in two years we werent well on our way to ubiquity in some meat space niches and considered "mainstream" on the internet by then.

[sgbett]

When Cyprus end up one of the richest nations in the world because it switched to BTC first how much whining are all the other countries going to do about the unfairness of the early adopter advantage?

[Manticore]

My guess: he is referring to plans to bring Bitcoin to the stock exchange - making it tradable with any online broker (e.g. stocktrade) and accessible to billions of investor's funds. I myself have a few ideas about how this could be pulled off.

That's exactly what I was thinking....but it would take a great deal of time and a much much much larger market cap. If BTC shows growth & resilience over the next few years, this would be an obvious outcome. I assume it would fall under CFTC jurisdiction. This kind of talk is extremely premature, of course.

And there's no mystery to how it could be pulled off. FOREX.

For what is worth. Based on some information that is not public and that I have no intention to disclose, things are happening behind closed doors. There are some serious projects are being underwritten and financed and negotiated right now. If these projects come to fruition, which is likely to happen within 2 years time frame, the accessibility of Bitcoin investments to general public will be ubiquitous.

Anyone parting with his coins at current silly prices is going to deeply regret it by year 2015.

That's a pretty fucking sleezy post.  It adds absolutely  nothing to the consciousness of the situation, there is no information, only blarney and it is a blatant attempt at manipulating the price for a quick gain. I'm embarrassed for you.

And I'm a bitcoin enthusiast!

You appear to be a manipulating opportunist.

That certainly seems to be his MO, from what I've seen over the years at least.  He's one to ignore.

[DoomDumas]

I'm not sure if your being sarcastic or not, I was under the impression the cap was always 1MB and set by Satoshi himself.

Your impression is incorrect, possibly because the idea that the 1 MB cap has always been present has been deliberately fostered by some people with agendas upon which I can only speculate.

Prior to September 2010 there was no protocol limit on block size, and Satoshi's email messages clearly indicated that he intended the network to scale to very large blocks in the future. MAX_BLOCK_SIZE was added as a temporary anti-spam rule and was always intended to be raised in the future when the network was capable of handing it and needed the extra capacity.

Those who say the limit was always present as a deliberate economic rule are dissembling.

Wow ! This is an informed and toughfull post.

Gratz & thanks

[oakpacific]

Vladimir, what about putting that into a piece of text, timestamping it and give us the hash?

[oakpacific]

Thank you very much, seems that you are really onto something.

I will store it in a safe place.
