Title: Specially Scheduled BitShares Announcement Tomorrow @4:00 pm EST
Post by: fuzzy on June 07, 2015, 06:00:54 pm
To all who are wondering why the hangout from Friday has not been posted, it is because the Friday hangout was obviously trying  to reach into topics that cannot be announced until this Monday (tomorrow).  For that reason, we largely cancelled it and moved it to this Monday. 

So make sure you join up to be among the first to hear and report on the news.  Looking forward to seeing you all there :)

Given the amount of hype, this news had better actually live up the the billing and really be amazing.

Will the announcements be posted on the forums as well?

Or will only mumble listeners hear the news live?

At 4:00 PM Fuzzy and Bytemaster will hold a special Mumble to answer questions.
More videos, interviews, articles, blog posts, and forum dialog will appear throughout the week.

so.. will it be posted before once it's the 8th at the forums and then at 4pm will be talked about in the mumble?

Why would you schedule a major announcement the day after the penultimate Game of Thrones episode of the season?  Fools!  When all the major characters get killed off, the internet is not going to be paying attention to anything else on monday. :P

I'm sure it's just me, but for some reason I feel to need to hear some Great Pyrenees barking before every hangout from now on.  Can we get that started on Monday?

Good luck everyone. Let's try to keep cool heads and shallow emotional analysis to a minimum. Whatever happens, everyone is doing their best to move Bitshares in the right direction and it's almost certain that the devs have been working their asses off.

Good luck fuzzy.  Good luck BM.

I'll take some of that tequila!

I got three nannies suing me right now -- one of them for no reason.

No, I’m totally kidding, I’m defusing tension with humor -- we settled out of court.

Boys, BitShares will soon be joining me in the 3 Comma Club!
