so, I talked to Max Keiser briefly at the bitcoin conference in Prague (the conference was great).
I think it's now finally public info: piratemyfilm will be accepting BTC for payment of shares and they will start to pay dividends in Bitcoin, too.
I think this is great news.
The gust of my conversation with Max is that it is not possible to enable my account to reserve more than 5 shares. The background for this is that he wants to avoid few people to buy all of the shares.
I'm unsure what to do know, but suggest we wait for the "bitpay" buttons to actually appear on piratemyfilm.com. Currently I think the best route would now be to give you people back your bitcoins so you can buy shares of the project yourselves on piratemyfilm.com.
Stacey Herbert and Richard Bluestein where filming material for the project in Prague (at the conference and at the pub(s)). They interviewed Amir, for example, and of course filmed the panel discussiond and Max' talk about himself and PMF.
It seems Max is now officially a bitcoin supporter (see his recent tweets).
Thoughts?

So I will meet Richard Bluestein (the producer) and hopefully also Max and Stacy in Prague.
Will hopefully be able to answer all questions about the project after Prague.
Keep donating if glbse permits

So I'm leaving for Stuttgart tomorrow and from there I'll go to prague with a friend to visit the Bitcoin Conference.
Hopefully I can talk to Max there, he's been hard to reach via email.
Unfortunately GLBSE is frequently down so I'm having a hard time calling for the last round of donations.
I still don't know the deadline for funding the film.
We still have a chance to fund it. The needed sum might be lowered for a reason I cannot currently disclose, but I'm no sure it'll happen.
So, if you want this film made, see the first post on how to contribute some BTC (even without using GLBSE)

Nice project. But are you sure that the guy at PMF is really Max Keiser?
Please make sure before you send the funds.

I made pretty sure by asking Richard Bluestein, the director/editor of the film via email:
Quote from: molecular
thanks for your quick answer, let me add one more question that was asked by the bitcoin community:
* are you sure it's really THE Max Keiser starring in the film?
* are you sure it's really THE Max Keiser starring in the film?
he answered
Quote from: Richard Bluestein
Yes it absolutely is.
It says "Max Keiser" in the cast section of the project and Stacy Herbert is, together with Richard, producing: http://www.piratemyfilm.com/projects/291
Pease note: I reserved 5 shares of the film on PMF with our funds (don't have to pay at this point). That's the maximum I can reserve.
I asked Richard some more questions, he said he couldn't answer them and would ask Max and then get back to me.

I'll donate 2000 LiteCoins if you can provide a LTC donation address (that's about BTC 13~15 at current exchange rate).

I'm happy to receive litecoin donations. However: I will convert these to BTC using btc-e.com pretty much immediately (trying not to crash the market, though). So in case we don't get to deliver our money to the Project, I might not be able to give you back the full amount of LTC you donated.

I would've loved to wait for a better exchange rate, but didn't want to risk having to take an even lower one and since I said I would exchange "right away", I just did it.

The Project Info on PMF says the following:
Quote from: http://www.piratemyfilm.com/projects/291
owner: rishey
producers: sherbert, rishey
executive producers: PMF Fund
directors: rishey
editors: rishey
cast: Max Keiser
producers: sherbert, rishey
executive producers: PMF Fund
directors: rishey

cast: Max Keiser
I'm assuming (also the pics match): sherbert = Stacy Herbert, rishey might be Richard Bluestein.
Now, I know this is not proof. I twittered him about it, if this doesn't work, I'll mail him ([email protected]). I've been in email contact with that address talking about making bitcoin payments directly to PMF.
Should he answer on twitter using @maxkeiser, we can be pretty sure it's him, right?

down to 35.59% funded due to lower exchange rate.
Please donate. Notice you will get your money back in case we don't reach 100% in time if you use GLBSE to donate (see previous post for instructions)

38% funded down from 40%, because some share reservations on PMF vanished 
. We made good most of that loss by a slightly risen exchange rate, though

that's up to you, really. wouldnt it be nice if a real "market" were to develop?
someone put up a buy order at .5 !
someone put up a buy order at .5 !
I have to agree. Unless we know for certain the seller's intention here. We have to assume they are just there for 'test' purposes or some such. I mean, unless they contacted you and said they needed to back out of their purchase.?
Noone contacted me about this.
Also: it's now only 5 @0.99BTC left (15 previously), so either someone bought 10 (to be expected and hoped for) or (part of) the order was cancelled (also good)
Someone put up a sell order at 2 BTC, no harm.
I decided to not buy back.

Someone seems to want to "get out" and is selling 15 shares for 0.99 BTC.
This is perfectly legitimate.
We could play nice and just buy them back. It would set us back 14.85, of course. Considering that we probably have to sell most of the shares anyway, this wouldn't make a difference in the end, because new donators will buy the 0.99 BTC shares first anyway.
What should I do?

November 11, 2011, 10:06:24 AM
Do you guys think I should sell some of the BTC at this point or hope the exchange rate will go up?
Maybe sell the BTC when/if Max calls in the pledges.Yeah, I think that's most appropriate because that way I can give everyone their bitcoin back in case it doesn't happen.
