Bitcoin Businesses and Developers, Let's Get Started!

[danystatic]

Our Vancouver-based Cooperative is going pretty well. We made Bitcoin outreach the focus of our activities so far. We registered several venues to accept Bitcoin through BitPay, and are hosting events at said places through our Meet Up (http://www.meetup.com/bitcoinvan/). The full list of business we've registered to accept bitcoins can be found on our website (under construction) at http://vanbtc.ca/merchants. We have some affiliates already, and are quickly acquiring more; you can see what's been going on on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/bitcoincoop. We also buy and sell bitcoins locally ourselves.

The next step for us right now is to continuing signing up business to accept Bitcoin, and generate a wider Meet Up and Facebook following so we can speed up the outreach. We're considering various different charitable outreach initiatives and gathering the funding to do so. We developed the first Bitcoin Student Club in British Columbia of which we're aware; they're at Simon Fraser University, a pretty prominent one in Canada (https://www.facebook.com/SFUBitcoin). We'll be holding our first presentations there, bringing guest speakers, and finding more--there's a professor there who is teaching a class about Bitcoin right now!

If you live in British Columbia, we would love to hear from you. Vancouver's Bitcoin community isn't yet as organized as in some other cities, but we're working on it and our Meet Ups are popular. If you own a Bitcoin-related business, or if you have a proposal, please do not hesitate to message us.

I live currently in México,
I have certain useful skills ( not many really ) and home-grown software that is especially designed for Cooperative charity funding, using Banking and Automation principles. Is not open-source software, not yet,  ( it will be, I guess ), and is not for sale (  I could set it up for free (or for the VPS cost, or whatever ) or we could discuss.

We should discuss. It would be hard for you to come to our events to do so in person, though, given that you live in Mexico. You can still join the Co-op if you want to, however.

Despite our Meet Up following, our system is fairly informal. We do not have a centralized financial or banking program to handle our Bitcoin exchanging, expenses, or the charity fund we have not yet had the time to build. I can see how it would be useful if we did. So far our primary accomplishments have been public outreach, events, and all the venues and businesses we have or are setting up to accept Bitcoin. We are likely to expand our services in the future.

I beleive you do not understand,
but I will be to go to Vancouver or wherever, in a couple of months, for the proposal I could give,  you really wouldn't need my presence.
Your system is fairly informal?   mine is fully functional, and semi-professional, it has being built with what I was able to get my hands on and my head around too.
You do not need a system at all, because this system would be all you need.
Public outreach events, is all you need to make something big out of this little system.

However, I rather not share this system with a close minded group of  red-light stopping excuse finder people, I would really ask you to beleive, and make this program grow, other wise, I would find other way to use whatever I can get from you to setup or partner-up with other Vancourvish-charitish kinda of institution. In the  year plus in the making certain strategies have been written in several notebooks.

I'm still interested in Canada, would love to live there, some summers.

I actually meant to imply that I was curious to learn about your system, and that I would seriously consider any information you would send to our inbox. I'm not sure how I failed to do so. I was joking that it's unfortunate you cannot hang out with us at the Bitcoin parties downtown; I am aware that your system can probably be utilized from far away. I assumed that because this is a community of Bitcoiners, that fact was mutually understood by all to be obvious.

If you really want to not stop at a red light, we can start over. We are a very open-minded bunch; we selected the Cooperative model rather than a standard corporation for this reason. But when you say "use whatever I can get from you," it sounds like you're saying you plan to invade Vancouver and destroy us somehow. If you really are in such a position that you could do that effectively, I think it should not be worth your time, and please do not. I'm not even sure what we did to earn this animosity. It's not very newbie-friendly.

The fact that I was educated by Canadian teachers isn't enough to hide the fact that i'm mexican, and communication barriers due to language are commonly to show up every now and then,

for example: But when you say "use whatever I can get from you,"  , yes,,, when I said that I meant:   That I will love to utilize every tip, suggestion, and skill I can learn from you,  to really help the Vancourver community, people, and in whatever possible way this system could help.

I would love to tell you more about this system, it was created specially for helping a community or a CAUSE, or crowdfunding, or crowd-investment, for it is all easily covered.   It is not state-of-the-art software.... but if you need to travel 10km, a bycicle will do. and if you need to travel a millioin km, dozen of thousands of bicycles will do.


I hope you understand, this proposal comes in peace

[danystatic]

destroy you?

no no no on the contrary....

I am willing to share the tools , strategies, and plans, I built , for  building a real community, with you.
Of course do not expect a zip file full of PDF files.

but sure we can talk further,
I am better at answering  short specific objective questions.
example: What is the purpouse of the system?
The purpose of the system is to demonstrate
that by fine and high principles of honesty and copperativity
your world and the world around you have an opportunity to grow better everyday.

[The Bitcoin Co-op]

It's cool; I don't speak a word of Spanish. I was gonna talk to the rest of the team and then PM you (some forums don't like posting clutter, I've learned) tomorrow, unless you sent me some stuff first. I am not one of the best programmers in our group, so probably the better tech guy want to see it. I'll PM you my email, for now.

I'm a developer currently working on a stratum server for Node.js (and some other side projects directly related to Bitcoin)

https://github.com/pocesar/node-stratum

Doing this on my spare time, it's open source afterall.

Have a lot of experience with PHP, Node.js and a bit of ruby, but been jumping through hoops to learn from the overwhelming python sources that most of developers chose for Bitcoin development...

awesome... I've been afraid of migrating my php tool , too Node.js

I am not sure I can trust my mind working around Node.js super smarter type of coding....

[dsynth]

I am a security researcher who has a keen interest in bitcoin. I have been responsible for finding and disclosing critical vulnerabilities in Coinbase.com and Predictious.com. You can read some more about these bugs on my blog at http://donncha.is.  I am hoping to  begin offering web application security testing and consulting to Bitcoin related startups where web security is obviously key to keep your customers safe.

I came from a PHP background as well (11 years of it). I also don't enjoy Node callback hell, that is much different from PHP, so I usually stick around using promises and defer (until generators / yield come to Node without --harmony flag)

[sikerdebaard]

Hey there, developer here. I'm playing around a bit with node.js + bitcoind to develop a transaction platform for a local brewery. This account will be used for questions and communicating with some of the Dutch people in the subforum Nederlands.

Sounds interesting

[nairna53]

Yeah, sounds very interesting (but i didn't read, lol, http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/237/621/c8a.gif ).
Of course, I am writting this just to jump out of newbie mode.

Not sure if I'm being dense, but I don't get what your are doing. What service are you providing? And is it for startup companies that are based on crypto currencies, or for people actually starting new crypto currencies?
