Can't wait for the 15th.

When is the next talk you all are giving?

faro re: alpha, make sure you are on email list. I don't think it's too late to join.

Best project ever, and the first I will actually buy.

What're you all planning for the proofs in the email?

Great news, and I'm interested to be an alpha provider on the cloud.

Ubuntu boxes with 16-128GB RAM (more if needed), some with NVIDIA GPUs, gigabit Internet connection
Android 6, 7.0, 8
iOS 11 (iirc)
Windows 7, 8.1, 10 with NVIDIA
a few DD-WRT and OpenWRT wifi routers

Bitcoin prices are high and seem pretty stable (I'm guessing you were waiting for stability), is Hadron going to do the presale soon? Eagerly waiting.

51% to the crowdsale, 49% to the company and "reserve". Are your 49% of coins vested/locked up?

So true, it's important to get in early. You don't even need to put that much in.

Is there a list of team members and their LinkedIn profiles?

How do you join this email list? PM?

Interesting in theory.

What is your time tracking app? Tht is essential for upwork and related.

I'm surprised how many people chose gold on a btc forum. Gold seems like a pretty crappy "investment", more like a hedge against collapse. Is it going to appreciate by 10% a year? I'd chose stocks and bitcoin.

Not sure why there are so many people recommending real estate purchases and then renting them out. Is the OP's dream to be a slum lord? Airbnb is even worse, the upkeep and cleaning fees destroy returns.

The ROI on real estate generally is very unimpressive unless you get lucky with capital appreciation or make massive developments (with massive bribes).

The general stock market returns around 10% per year, just dump some of it into index funds and then buy some btc, ether, and a few other top coins.

I agree that $4000 is kind of high, but mainly because it's hard to read prices when something is like 0.0004 btc.

Many people can't do math at all. Try teaching them 1x10^-4 or other notation and it's going to hurt adoption.

It's nice that he's supporting the community, he's actually one of the coolest billionaires and has also spent a ton of money to help cure diseases in developing nations.

Interesting how he was super cutthroat and aggressive when he was young and stupid.

That being said, the scaling debate end and hard fork survival is probably what led to the price spike, not an old Bill Gates quote.

Good advice, computers are buggy as heck and, seriously, hw wallets definitely have bugs, too, and can also crash. Heck, Windows might just decide it's time to install some bug patch and reboot while you're trying to transfer keys.

Even just static shock could fry any electronics no matter how "tough".

If you really want to be safe:

Virus scanners are mostly useless.
Always keep your OS patched
Browse websites in a virtual machine
Don't download and run any programs unless they are 100% trustworthy and signed.

If you have enough money, have a dedicated inexpensive computer that you only use for banking and bitcoin, don't visit any other websites with it. No games, no apps, no programs. Turn off the computer when you're not using it and always keep it patched. Set LAN to public/untrusted mode, use hardline ethernet connection (no wifi). Keep firewall in router on. You should be pretty safe then.

for the OP's situation (sending to many people), it's not possible without fees.

If you just want to send to one person, you can theoretically just give them the priv and public keys if the balance is the right amount. you will lose that address, of course.

I think paying the fees is just easier, though.

Just buy btc, don't spend it (your public key will never appear in the blockchain), and write down the keys on a piece of paper, then hodl

Good advice. It's hard to not get fixed that one has missed the boat, but no one can predict the future perfectly.

Not sure what country OP is in, but try wiring money in to GDAX. If you have a Coinbase account, you have an account on GDAX.

Coinbase (who owns GDAX) is too painful and slow to increase available money from bank accounts and credit cards. Wires are fast, but they do have a fee.

Yes, I agree, asking for an ID seems against the spirit of bitcoin.

Saving this thread, thanks for starting it, OP.
