Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
Hey, Matthew. Some wiseguy has an idea. Perhaps it may be a useful feature of your Ellet. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-for-the-blind-94627

Peace, bro.

UPDATE: I've been notified by our legal that direct investments into the Ellet Systems company in the UK would require signed HNWI statements before even discussing investments so I won't be discussing any investments in this thread in the future. Please contact by email so that we can sign the proper paperwork (either High Net Worth Individual or Sophisticated Investor statement) before discussing.

Revolutionizing Brokerage of Personal Data
Am I the only one that thinks qr codes and flexibility are cool ?
QR codes might be cool initially, but they quickly become a hassle if you need them for day-to-day transactions (ever watched two guys with shaky hands try to scan QR-codes off their smartphone displays in bright sunlight?) I always considered them as somewhat of a hack for conveying Bitcoin addresses. NFC or similar (non-optical) wireless transmissions are clearly the way to go for the future. I'd even go so far as to say that QR-codes are a big hurdle for Bitcoin on the way to mainstream adoption.

This looks promising. Watching closely.
I might want to invest in this, but 250k might be slightly above my "play money" budget  Undecided
No listing on glbse  Tongue
$250k is only the lower limit after the first round of investments. For the first round, it's much lower.
If you're serious about wanting to invest some money, you might want to contact Matthew directly though (through a PM for example).

So you're Pro Crowdfunding now? That's not what you said to ...
Ignoring the contradiction in your post ('now' = present tense, 'said' = past tense), yes, I am pro-kickstarter and crowdfunding for non-software initiatives. I always have been.

The thread you referred to was someone trying to crowdfund a free piece of software, which I am still against. Crowdsourcing is the solution for projects that have no material costs (like software).

I've updated my post there to be more specific. Thanks for pointing that out!

Hello!
nice video, is it flexible?

EDIT: what about a camera, or some way to read qr codes (this is probably really important, or at least some way to use firstbits)

Current valuation for the company, assets and resources is $900,000 USD as of September 10th, 2012.
Cool, you can see into the future! Can you read my palm, too?

Wow, shows you how overworked I am these days. That's the date of availability for the Bitcoin Magazine in Barnes and Noble  Roll Eyes

Fixed.

UPDATE: Through continuous difficulties with our current design and manufacturing manager in Shenzen, we've decided to part ways and I am inviting another well known manufacturing specialist from Smith company in Shenzen. I'll update here when it seems prudent to. It's still looking like about a 4-6 month wait on this before you'll be able to order, but I'll try to push the investors a bit more so we can speed that up.

Cheers

I'm posting the other thread in a minute. Need to clear some details with investors.

How long could a Matthew minute be for the rest of the world?
Let's try:
Bitcoin Magazine: "weeks" -> "months"
Ellet: "next week" -> "not anytime soon"
So are are there any mathematicians here that can compute this?


Sorry, right when I was about to post the thread that took 20 or so minutes to write, I was asked to handle it privately instead.
So we aren't getting any news?

Haven't you figured it out yet? He's colluding with BFL to offer the longest delays ever!
