January, if Bitcoin doesnt crash within 5 days.

My opinion is not really important because I don't have enough BTC to celebrate $1000 yet. When we hit $10,000 or $100,000 perhaps, but wouldn't it be a good idea to have the party around the 1st? Many people are on holiday around that time anyways and it might be convenient. It could be a great New Years Eve/BTC reaches $1000 event.

I would rather wait a few weeks more after the trigger than originally planned and have a really great party
than to have a hastily organized party just to be within the 8 weeks after the trigger.

There doesn't need to be a crazy rush. The time can be well used. I'd still like to help out and ensure there is a charity element and so on; the idea of rich mostly male geeks having an expensive party and showing off their money is not endearing. Bitcoin Friday has shown what can be done that's positive in one way.

I suggested to the team that we set up a Bitcoin charity day for the same day as the party, and try to get supported by the Bitcoin ecosystem in various ways. I'm sure it'll be worth my time to try and do it if people are supportive.

we welcome this. what about getting a initiative/team started that does take care of charity connected to the party?

if you wish you could go ahead. as soon as something is worked out we add it to the website and op.

January, if Bitcoin doesnt crash within 5 days.

should it really stay above $1k on stamp for 5 days, 8 weeks later would indeed be early february, but we can´t stick to the original plan.

the entire logic of the planned party is being over-run by this incredible rise of bitcoin.

we do have a (first world Wink

) problem:

we have to see how ticket sale is going: the number of sold tickets influence the the size of the party (venue/catering/line-up...)

at what number of sold tickets do we close ticket sale ?

waiting for 1000 sold tickets could prolong the time until it takes place. pulling the trigger at, let´s say 250 tickets would result in a scaled down party.

we cannot run it as a conventional concert with a set date and then try to sell tickets accordingly since this would not be a crowd funded event anymore but a normal concert/party and in this case v.a.t. would apply for ticket sale. this would eat up 19% of ticket funds before the first drink is mixed.

we are being fucked over by success of bitcoin. Grin

I have an idea, let's invite Max Keiser to the party!

He is kind of a Bitcoin star and also a funny guy.

Also, IIRC, he lives in London/Paris or so, in any case not too far from Germany.

We should invite Satoshi.

Maybe he'll come undercover.

Give the job to Kuzco (one of my alpaca), he can handle it.

Bring him to the party. It's not a Bitcoin party without an alpaca present.

who thinks this part is bound to make the headlines? and when that happens, and people see everyone celebrating over bitcoin, even more people will chase the cryptocurrency.

we're bound to see this on huffingpost or something.

I'm not sur i'll enjoy a party with complete strangers
To much different taste would make impossible to find the equilibrium
So if it's for drink beer and talk about bitcoin with some random dude, no need to pay 1BTC for that

But good luck and i'll follow the livestream Cheesy

Huh. Only found this thread now. Guess I'm late to the party.

Sorry for not reading through the entire thread, but what's the current plan? Selling tickets starts in 3 days (that seems to be the countdown on the webpage), is that right?

What's next? Are the details of the party known already? It will take place in Frankfurt, for sure? Personally, I also would have preferred a nicer place like Berlin, but I guess Frankfurt makes sense logistically.

EDIT: One other thing... I know many in the community are at least somewhat critical towards fiat money, etc bla bla, but for now it is simple reality that btc is extremely volatile, while fiat (Euro or USD or whatever) is not. So I think it would have been a much wiser choice to define the entrance price in a common currency, and then ask for the corresponding btc value on the day of reservation. The way it looks now, the already pretty high entrance price just went up another 20% in fiat terms. Maybe I'm just a frugal bore, but much as I'd like to join this party (really would like to meet a bunch of you guys), I'm not too happy with the pricing model.

And that's exactly the fun.
Paying 1BTC, doesn't matter where the price is.
The higher it is the higher the fun, because more money to organize the party.
