11,000 BTC

Why do you keep repeating this incorrect figure when theymos already told you it was wrong?

Reportedly 11,000 BTC were donated toward creating this new forum software.

That's not true. 3116 BTC was donated, with a total value-at-time-of-transaction of just $68k. The remainder comes from advertising/fee revenue, with a total value-at-time-of-transaction of $3.2 million. (A lot of spending was also at these sorts of low prices.) Furthermore, donations were meant to be a way of supporting the forum in general terms; it wasn't like some Kickstarter project. The main pages about donations didn't mention the software project at all, and almost all donations were made before that project even started.

Obviously you're aware of his response as you quoted that same post.

I think the main question is - how much BTC is left?

If you didn't donate any BTC, then its not a question at all as it doesn't concern you.

Actually it doesn't concern the donors much either, hence the use of the term "donation."


Pretty appalling from two members who are respected by the rest of the forum.

Consider taking your own advice:

While disappointing and sad, I guess there is no choice but to move on.
