Sorry about that. Everything should be back up and running now.

Still Nothing on my end.

When I said still nothing I was referring to you transferring bitcoin to my account.

OK I received the BTC. Thank you!
In regards to your endeavor or BTC in general. Now that I have my first wallet with some BTC in it what is the simplest easiest way to convert FRN to BTC into my wallet or visa versa? For Bitpools or BTC to be effective people need to be able to easily take their cash or that number that is in the bank account and turn it into BTC. I think you have a good idea with Bitpool. I have had 4 children and my youngest is now 15. I think Americans spend more money on their kids & pets than anything else. It saddens me that school fundraiser are always linked to a middleman profiting from the fundraiser. Kids have fund raisers all the time. Who wants to purchase an overpriced years subscription to some magazine so a fundraiser can make some minuscule amount of $??
A newer trend is for a local enterprise to donate an undisclosed % of sales to a fundraiser effort. Lets say Moes diner will donate a % to xxx fundraiser to anyone that comes in on Tuesday between 5&7 pm with a piece of paper saying they are there for the fundraiser. It would be much simpler to purchase a certain meal online and be able to use it anytime and have the funds go to the fundraiser instantly.

Easiest way to convert FRN to BTC is at http://www.coinbase.com

Just put in your bank info and buy some bitcoins.

I like the idea of paying for a meal and having a percentage go to a fundraiser's bitcoin address. You would be able to verify that the money goes there directly.

Nice, I'll be sure to spread the word. You may want to add an image and some sort of description so people have a better idea of what the goals of the pool are.

I don't see a way to add a pic or description anywhere. The only place I seemed to be able to add anything was under the messages section.

evilfunnystuff, I like "liberty activism pool". Maybe you could do a "how to get started" mining guide for newbies like me. I purchased a 24 hour mining contract on eBay once but it didn't pan out. I would love to mine on my own, but have no clue what equipment I would have to buy and whether or not it is worth it.

Generating income through mining seems like a very risky venture these days.

I would not recommend it to someone who doesn't know what they are getting into, or doesn't have money to gamble with as it is expensive and risky.

Hmm, something I need to tweak. When you log in, go to pools and scroll down to your pool instead of clicking the link to your pool it should show you edit buttons for the title, description and an upload/submit button for a picture. (icons are 100x100, 200x200 on the main page)

Nice. Unfortunately the site never took off. Nobody wanted to pool their bitcoins to crowdfund things.

However, something that would be relevant to all the folks here is this:

I haven't been on Ron Paul Forums in a long time but since then I accumulated enough bitcoins to retire and I am living in Tahiti working on getting the world's first seastead built.

We'll have our ICO in May and get to work on making it happen from there.

My favorite bar used to have a sign hanging up that said Free Beer Tomorrow .

Nostalgia. It was fun checking out 2o14's prices...
Think of ten bitcoins back then verses last summer.
