Well, at least I got my Coineer magazine now.
So it did end up being the first physical bitcoin magazine after all...
No pics? Do tell. When will mine arrive?

Meanwhile, nothing is being kept secret ( except some big announcements being saved for the event )..... We're just VERY busy. And as for the numbers of registrations... that is a moving target.

And here's the promised big announcement! ... I am Matthew's sockpuppet! Didn't see that one coming, did you? ... As Matthews sockpuppet, I can of course do announcements in the name of Matthew, of which the previous announcement was one. As well as this: ... Bitcoin magazine will be shipped to you through a wormhole going back in time! I mean, we don't have that technology yet, but we will at some point in the future, at which point we will ship the bitcoin magazine through it, making sure it arrives today to each of you! Also, it will be >9000 pages thick and will contain a complementary copy of The Youtube Collection for people who have bought or will buy a subscription. So all you need to do now is wait until we have wormhole technology, and then un-wait back to today! Thank you. That will be all.

I don't think he owes us anything if the magazine is as good as it should be. The expectations could not possibly be any higher, anything less than superb after this delay, would be a disappointment.

Hasn't he been telling you people to ask for refunds since forever ago? And since when does bitcoin earn interest? That's a fiat concoction.

Everyone is welcome to a refund though if they don't want to purchase the magazine. I'll be back in a few hours with the announcement.

Hasn't he been telling you people to ask for refunds since forever ago? And since when does bitcoin earn interest? That's a fiat concoction. You can earn interest and dividends on your BTC in many ways. There is an entire sub forum for the lending of BTC for interest here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=65.0There is an entire sub forum for buying assets (including bonds) that pay dividends and/or interest here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=78.0 Sure there may be some stupid people doing this but they are not all stupid. And since when does bitcoin earn interest? That's a fiat concoction.

Hasn't he been telling you people to ask for refunds since forever ago? And since when does bitcoin earn interest? That's a fiat concoction. Actually, there is no problem with bitcoins (or sound money) earning interest. Personally, I don't like interest, especially anything over say 1%, but from a purely monetary perspective a non-inflationary currency can support interest and still induce a sound economy. People might ask: well, where does new money come from to pay the interest? The money to support the interest comes from within the existing system. This means as more interest bearing loans are created the economy does become deflationary as interest payments are made. In a true free market economy this slows the creation/availability of jobs. At this point new interest bearing loans should be lessened as well, since default risk rises. In other words, the job market should act as a cut off valve for such loans at the point which the economy can no longer sustain them, or banks risk default. The economic problem (and added moral hazard) with interest arises when banks don't accurately fear default, due to either creative financial mechanisms (like CDOs, or credit default swaps), or assurance of being rescued (by bailouts). A true free market allows lenders to go bankrupt when they run afoul of the actual tolerance of the free market.

The economic problem (and additional moral hazard) with interest arises when banks don't accurately fear default, due to either creative financial mechanisms (like CDOs, or shaky credit default swaps), or assurance of being rescued (by bailouts). A true free market allows lenders to go bankrupt when they run afoul of the true tolerance of the free market. No such thing. Since money is an idea, you can create as much as you want from nothing, so it makes sense for interest to exist there. Bitcoin isn't just an idea, but a digital implementation of a finite resource, barring fundamental changes to the system, there won't be more than originally designed, so the idea of interest in such a system is incompatible.
