dear people who wait for the refund:

we have spent another 3 hours of tryin unsuccessfully getting this going. it seems we made it very very very (very!) safe a year ago to protect the btc1k funds from theft. turns out that it is so safe, that we now have difficulties of getting it to work properly. currently we cannot access the coins. we will keep working on it.

i apologize for the ongoing delay.

we will keep trying.

Will there be a refund?

yes, we are presently involved in the refund process. there are technical problems i don´t fully understand. conflicting versions of software since it was all put together almost a year ago and now newer versions of software are not compatible anymore. we have a 3 way multisig application but three different guys with different computer skills in different locations (from zero to expert; me counting as zero) with three different pc/mac setups in different upgrade versions. on top of that we never seem to find a time spot where we all can get together, since we all moved on with other projects, jobs - we are all busy like hell.

we are working on it. if we fail i refund from personal stash.

Honestly, I don't care much what the official reason for the party will be, as long as it's a party and it's excessive! ;-)

the excessive part we took care of long ago. first thing we did is to order coke for all 1000 attendants. now with the party being cancelled, we have to live with the consequences... Cool

thank you for your support. we did not expect that so many of you would leave us some percentage or even the entire amount to cover costs. i´ll have the stats ready in a few days.

we plan to start the refunding by 15th of november. originally it was planned to get this done by the end of october, please excuse the delay. the delay is due problems with different versions of java when accessing the multisig implementation. the funds are still here:

please send us a note & answer the following:

A) send back my bitcoin to the paper wallet = btc1k ticket (be sure you still have it) & keep yx % to cover costs

A) send back my bitcoin to the paper wallet = btc1k ticket (be sure you still have it) & keep 50 % to cover costs

I confirmed I have the paper wallet and imported it into mycelium.

thanks!

I would be willing to pay a small share of the expenses, say 10% of the ticket price (by ways of only receiving back 90% to the paper wallet), so you don't have to carry that financial loss all alone. Maybe others will chime in?

I wouldn't mind.
OTOH, what I'd rather love to see is funding another project of some kind with the money.
Maybe we could at least fund a decent little gathering / conference for Bitcoin-beginners with it?
Not a fancy big party, but just a small hang-out at a decent hotel (with a Spa) Wink

That's something I've wanted to see for a long time.
All those business-like conferences for the "Pros" are beginning to bore me Roll Eyes

And that's something the team could could probably organize with minimal effort, just to make up for the missed opportunity of getting completely wasted! Shocked

havent noticed this when you posted it. i like the idea, though. what do you guys think ?

I think you should do it.
Davad Latapie manages the Bitcoin Castle in Estonia. You should contact him. It's purpose is for such things as this, and is very fit for the purpose.

dear party animals,

the btc1k party is cancelled and we would like to send the btc back to you. we can send them back to the paper wallet, that you have printed as the party ticket. if you do not wish that we send them there, please foreward us a bitcoin adress.

you can do this via pm or via this forum thread:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/btc-1k-party-attendants-list-368601

we developed the btc1k party at our own risk and will not complain if we have to eat the expenses. (not to mention the time spent on the project - which was exiting and it was fun, but it was a lot of time). we had to cover expenses of about 5000,- €, you can support us by telling us which fraction of your bitcoin(s) you want to donate towards the orga team.

again, we still believe btc will go back over $ 1000,- and we are sure there will be some kind of party, but the btc1k party as we imagined may not happen.

please send us a note & answer the following:

A) send back my bitcoin to the paper wallet = btc1k ticket (be sure you still have it) & keep yx % to cover costs

B) send back my bitcoin not to the paper wallet but to the following adress: ________________ & keep yx % to cover costs

C) you can keep the coin, thank you

thanks to everyone for all your helpful and fun comments and suggestions. thanks for the support. thanks for the fun. btc community rocks.

your btc1k orga team

Yeah, I'm in too.
Maybe this helps as motivation for a regular excessive Bitcoinparty, huh? Wink
