Nice job Bitcoin peeps!


Really makes the bitcoin community look good.

So glad Dorian is not cashing them out into fiat!  Smiley  I am sure Andreas explained to him the reasons to do that!

better everyday ♥
Well done Andreas Antonopolous and Dorian S. Nakamoto!

This is what the Bitcoin community should really be about.  The charitable and fundraiser aspect.

Glad to see Dorian in good spirits, and Andreas always shining a bright light on Bitcoin.

Bravo gents, bravo!

I'm pretty sure Andreas has delivered the funds already and is just waiting a week or two to announce it, so it's very old news and the media won't bother to pick up on it. Smart.

But why do we still see 47.55582895 BTC in the blockchain?  Huh  I think we will know when the funds move.  Wink
Because Andreas isn't going to give away the date by moving the coins. He probably will use his own coins. And once he provides proof of the funds going to Dorian, refund himself the 47.x btc from the fundraising address.

I don't have any inside info, I'm just am guessing he'll do that.

But he has said he does not intend to create any more media attention for Dorian. So by doing everything as unremarkably as possible, he'll keep it low key.

I doubt there will be a photo of Andreas and Dorian provided as proof. It might exist, but you are more likely to see Osama Bin Laden's mortuary photos Cheesy

Well - there should be some proof of delivery that can't be refuted, like an official statement from his lawyer for instance, posted on the very webpage of that lawyers offices or similar.

No matter if we believe Andreas is the real deal, which I think most people do, there should be some sort of accountability, and I think Andreas would agree to that, blind faith has proven to be not a good thing in the bitcoin community. :\

I hope Dorian get the money and can put it to good use, then be left in peace. He's an old man. Give him a break.

Maybe Andreas just wants to meet the creator of bitcoin in person.  I'm sure he must be a fan.

Maybe Andreas just wants to meet the creator of bitcoin in prison. I'm sure he must be a fan

I say that if it were most anybody else, I would suggest getting out the pitchforks, but truly believe that Andreas Antonopolous WILL deliver even if it takes upwards of a month.

The sad part is that Dorian's lawyer may end up the biggest chunk of it since he probably had to retain counsel.

No one has take me up on my 10 to 1 odds bet that Andreas will deliver.  I could always be wrong but like others have said, makes no sense for him to trash his reputation for a few dozen coins.  Plus, when something rings true, you can feel it.  I feel this man's integrity.

Touchdown
I'm confused; has this been delivered to him?

I donated BTC under the pretense that it would be delivered to Satoshi... wth?
Read the post immediately above yours.

within the next 3 weeks
Can't decide whether this is better than Two WeeksTM or not. Grin

Seriously though, he has to convert the BTC to USD and set up a meeting.  Three weeks is perfectly reasonable.

Because relying on reputation isn't always the best thing, as has been proven tons of times. Everyone slobbered on Neo & Bee, look how well that turned out. People defending Danny even when he goes MIA for 2+ weeks with no answers.

What is the hold up to deliver money to Dorian?

UPDATE - April 9th, 2014:

I am in contact with Mr. Dorian Nakamoto and I will be delivering control of the funds to him, in person, within the next 3 weeks. I will post an update once this is done, as verification.

Approx 19K USD worth of btc is collected at the moment (47.55 btc): https://blockchain.info/address/1Dorian4RoXcnBv9hnQ4Y2C1an6NJ4UrjX

I guess 3 weeks timeframe in the real world to have something done is not unreasonable..

This is the attitude that lets so many Bitcoin scams flourish. People making excuses for red flags.

You hit the wrong target.

What are the red flags here, please elaborate.

Wasn't Andreas advisor to Neo Bee led by scuzzball Cryptocyprus Danny who is the latest big scammer on this list (only Mark K. is missing)?

http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinStocks/comments/1swo6w/andreas_antonopoulos_is_advising_neo_bee_look_at/

So he didn't pay Dorian Nakamoto diddly squat as of yet when it only takes seconds to make a payment? Quelle surprise...

Well, even the man with the best of intentions might become the advisor for someone not that good. Andreas is probably busy and don't have the time to research everyone that contacts him. But he's probably well meaning and if anyone reaches out for help he gives a helping hand. By action, he's repeatedly shown that he wants the best of Bitcoin. It could all be a play, but I doubt that.

As for the Neo Bee situation I have no idea how that's played out or what's happened, if there's anything criminal going on, that's highly unfortunate, and the last thing bitcoin needs.

Dorian Nakamoto is reportedly not active when it comes to bitcoin, and I saw some reports of him not even having an internet connection, he had to drop it because of emotional distress. Through traditional channels, communications might take longer, and if there's an exchange to dollars involved, and possibly a flight so the money can be transferred in person as well, it will all add to the time required to finish the deal.

If however it turns out it's a scam, Andreas has forever burned himself, somehow I believe that's not very likely, so as long as he's not provably failed, I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

By mid April the price might be $600 or more so maybe it is a good idea for Andreas to take another week or two.


at this falling rate, he'd be lucky if it's $60  Cheesy

Hopefully Andreas will give him the option to hold the coins without cashing them in.  Seriously, by Summer they could be worth 5 times as much as they are now.  But even at $400 per coin I am sure Dorian will be appreciative.
