He was most likely using those funds to pay slickage, the company that is designing the new forum.

Where did you see that? Oh, that is why they call it the 1 Million Dollar Forum. But seriously, a Million Dollars? That sounds high. And, Yes, they do tend to run over budget. |

Yes the budget was 1mln of dollars (in bitcoin?) but no one know if all the budget was spent or not. Most probably not. |

Yeah, that's Slickage's $100k monthly fee. The amounts aren't exact, though. I send approximately the correct amount to an intermediate wallet of my own, and then it gets sent to Slickage via Coinbase.
The total cost will probably be around $1.5 million, which is more than I'd hoped, though not entirely unexpected.

Jesus Christ that is 50% over budget! I seriously hope this dorum is going to be slick or it is a 1.5 Million not well spend. Sorry if this has been anwsered like 100X already, but who and how many people are beta testing? I guess thats a must but I can be mistaking. For 1.5 they better deliver hahaha, I bet they will though.. |

The forum must meet your and almost everyone's expectation then. That's quite a large sum of money. Do you know exactly how many developers are working on the forum? |

I have seen the github contributors page, this: https://github.com/epochtalk/epochtalk/graphs/contributors and it seems there are 6 contributors , but maybe there are few other work at the new forum software but have never been registered/used github. |

They could easily build in backdoors of which we would only found out about if things already were to go south. I mean, I won't question your judgement but are you really sure they can be trusted? |

Holy Crap, this is going to be amazing the total price is actually around a million dollars although generally speaking these kinds of projects tend to run over budget. man are they reinventing the wheel? This forum (SMF) is free to use, why the hell would anyone spend that much money on new forum code? Why not donate it to smf and work with the devs there to make it better? Obviously it has held up quite well for the last 5 years too; which seems like a pretty good testament to the code. |
The New World Order thanks you for your support of Bitcoin and encourages your continuing support so that they may track your expenditures easier.

Yes, we are creating a completely new forum software to compete with SMF. SMF has a lot of issues, it just isn't suitable for our needs. As far as how much money it costs, I hope that it will be well worth it, but frankly, creating new forum software is pretty much the only thing that the donated coins are to be used for. What else do we need? Might as well go all out. |

I did a little bit of research on Slickage and I wasn't able to find much of anything. Does anyone have any details on this company or how they managed to land such a large job without having and PR or advertising (at least from what I could find)? I see they're based out of Hawaii and they have a twitter page and a github account. The twitter page only has about 75 followers. They also have a website but all it does is link to their Twitter and Github accounts. I'm curious how they were able to get this job.
