I've been in and out of the Bitcoin scene since it's start. More and more, over the years, I've been overwhelmingly convinced that it is worthwhile. I believe there is a need to get more people to accept Bitcoin as something very real and useful. It will help with the growth of the community and help to insure the future use and growth of Bitcoin in general if we show people that they can be a part of it. I do not have the money to do something like this alone, but what I do have is passion, tenacity, and of course time. Personally, I see a huge opportunity here and hope others do to.

I wold suggest that you must give more detailed data about such important thing. Even if you will wanted some nuts everyone will thought twice before giving those. Not because of their cost but because don't see valid reason and argumentation to give those. And not when it is talked about money. You tell that have a long experience with bitcoin. Since its first day. And you are entered in its forum only two weeks ago. How is possible this? A first bitcoiner who join its forum after 6 years. Then at your third post in its forum you ask money. Another question-mark in the mind of everyone: without telling any word about bitcoin and giving any kind of data except the above three-four rows, ask money using the name of bitcoin?

If I would be a normal person, my thoughts about you (and this doesn't mean that can be true; would be only mine) would be that you are an impostor. Someone which make as its third post a post with four-five rows in which request to have money for something "big" which can be read in other tens of posts make before its enter in bitcointalk, cannot have other name.

But I am not normal. I am a strange person. So I don't think that you are an impostor. As a strange person I would advice you that, to ask money, needed more than your rows. Much, much more. Give a good detailed project and a very good plan about what you want to achieve and in which way (exactly and step by step) think to realize that. Then put all here in this thread or in a new one and then try to ask money. After reading those things all the strange people (because the normal ones wouldn't believe again you having this kind of experience before) can read what you have invented and, if will like it, maybe will give you the needed money. Or that they can.

I understand you completely and no offense taken. As I said, I've been in and out. I'm a very private person in general. I don't typically come to forums and voice my opinions, and this is the only forum I'm even part of. I'm not asking for money. I'm gauging interest in this and seeing what peoples' opinions are. As for a detailed plan, this is part of the process for building it. Everything has to start somewhere.

In your poll you ask if you would have support for that you want to do and in your post you tell to not have money to do alone that you want to do. As I wrote in my previous post EVERY normal people would understand this as a request for money. Only the strange people like me don't. Wink

As such I have no doubts in your good intentions. But you most know (if you really don't know this) that what you want to do, is the most normal and common thing that needed to do regarding bitcoin. Known by everyone which is involved with it even within few days. And learn from the beginners as a first thing about it. So nothing special or new in your words or in your idea for which you want support (and according to normal people even money). If I would borrow the words of a very big writer I would tell: nothing new under our "bitcoin" sky.

Anyhow to many speaks and only few acts. The number of those who achieve that they want to realize with their projects is irrelevant. Maybe you are irrelevant. So go ahead, show to everyone that you are such kind of people and forget my posts. Wink

I wouldn't call you strange for your thinking or opinions. From my point of view, I think I'm mostly talking to people like you here. The fact that it is such a normal concept and talked about constantly only shows the further need for it. I'm not good at talking in general. You can look at that from many different angles. Most of my life I have had to accomplish everything alone, but ruminating on this for so long and seeing how big of an issue it is has made me realize that I need to ask for help to be able to be successful. I won't forget your posts either. Feel free to post more if you wish. You state valid points and give me insight. Thank you.

Good. I see that you have taken the good and the right meaning of my words. And this make me feel satisfaction. Even the fact that you have the courage to accept such kind of words and have reflections about those. This make me double happy because at least my words (that are only words and as such don't need to much or at all fatigue to be made) had some value. Reading your answer and seeing that you in your life have made everything yourself, make me to be interesting in participating in your initiative. But the problem is that I have very few to offer. Mainly my words. I have not other important resources. Me too have build everything myself. I don't know about your results but mine can be considered sufficient only to maintain my family. My situation is another fact who justify my above posts about the need of a concrete project if you want really to have support. If you will present a good or, at least, a real project everyone can see when and where can help. And offer real support. If are offered only words by you (as it is) may be to many them who want to help and will offer their help but when the project will be ready and will be presented, many of those may not find themselves on it. In other words may see that the kind of help they can offer may not be necessary or may be not at all needed. Anyhow these are only (again) my words. You have yours. See and act as you will think is better according to you. You are the "owner", you will be even its implementator. Cheesy
