Bytemaster will be traveling this weekend and so this week's hangout with him is cancelled.

We will be having a hangout with bitscape and roadscape Saturday sometime after their appearance on Bitcoins and Gravy.

And a community hangout thereafter.

More to come.

Glad to see the site now really teaches the concepts without forcing it.

Listen to bill still here. It is hilarious that we are still so unknown...even though the solutions proposed are so close to (though technologically inferior) to BitShares.

He even mentions bitcoin AND the problems of crypto volatility (ie bubbles)--which BM has solved. I am done reaching out to bill however because he literally ignores every email about bitshares I send.  Urg.

So frustrating to listen to these historically literate,  indeed brilliant thought leaders so absolutely incompetent in terms of the tech.   And they are guiding people directly to a future more likely more dangerous than that of today.  God help us if Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin are the currencies of the future.  "Meet Intel, top ASIC manufacturer and new God's of money."

The Beyond Bitcoin Poll is revealing some interesting things. 

If you are interested in joining me for the next phase, please join up on Mumble tonight for the emergence of an informal and on-going discussion on moving forward.

Or better yet--Join us!  For updates on upcoming events, attend, record and report live from our Mumble Server!

I get this when importing my bitshares wallet backup json.  I am certain the json works because it used to work.  I am certain my password is correct.  What is going on with this?

Our hangouts draw a number of people interested in cryptocurrency.  We have many episodes available for listening, but we up to now have not been advertising any outside businesses. 

I am reaching out to the community to help me with this next stage of the plan.  It is time for us to begin organically increasing the usage of bitUSD, and having businesses who accept bitUSD is how we can do it.  I am reaching out to businesses outside our ecosystem to ask them to consider accepting bitUSD and bitAssets for their services and products, but I want to utilize our own community's networks as I believe it will be the path of least resistance.

Oh damnit...just get to the point fuzz!

Ok ok joey (jeesh)...

In this stage, I will gladly help produce advertisements for any business connected to the internet and accepts, at minimum, at least one of our bitAssets and will have our editor place those advertisements into our hangouts. 

If you know anyone in your personal or business life who has a business that would add value to our growing community, I ask that you kindly inform them of this possibility and help them understand the value proposition on their side.  If they say yes, I will organize a hangout with them so they can learn from our community how to better serve the cryptocurrency-using demographics that will no doubt grow as we move into the future and will also make a 20-30 second advertisement for them to be placed at various places within our edited hangouts.  If they have their own advertisement, I will gladly have that added instead. 

Additionally, if they offer significant (10+% discounts) to those paying with their bitAsset of choice, I will offer to hold occasional Delegate hangouts for them to help them make their case for getting a delegate voted in to help subsidize their operations. 

Although any business will do, the businesses I am most interested in are new tech-related operations and businesses offering privacy/security-related products. 

It is preferred that the blog is BitShares-based, but it is not absolutely necessary.  Please give your opinions.
