I don't understand what the wait is for. Is there some special event for it or something? Doesn't make much sense to me personally.

Hopefully they're not going to planning to announce it at the London Conference. The devs specifically chose to disconnect the forums from the Bitcoin Project in an attempt to keep the Project itself neutral and professional. They can't maintain any appearance of neutrality if they make major announcements at an event being organised by shonky operators whose behaviour calls Bitcoin into disrepute.

No.

Isn't Genjix putting on the london conference?

You are right, that would be very bad.

Wow is this thread still going on?

Someone in the first 10 pages got really close

Anyways, we are not long until the announcement.

Hmm, I trust you guys, allot, but you statements about an alleged announcement, about the whole project, that you know about and the whole community doesn't have a clue, is rather suspicious for me. So you better say it out loud or STFU

You are 100% right. I'm not to familiar with the matter, but all I know is Gavin should not have leaked that.

I'm no one to talk, since my last leak cause massive worldwide panic.

So you tried to teach the entire community a lesson at the expense of your own credibility?
I dont know whether I should be amazed or sorry for ya.

That's the crazy thing about this game. Nobody knows what's gonna happen next! How do you know when to announce something when the industry in general announces sometimes more than a year in advance and then keeps pushing back release dates? Things seem to be moving slow, but really they are developing pretty fast.

I am looking forward to the announcement. A little misstep here and there is fine by me...since when did we come to expect our revolutions to run smoothly?

You'd think a government would announce something like that. And any change in the law would require an act of congress or the supreme court...I doubt Uncle Sam is ever going to be happy about Bitcoin unless they can control it. Will we see a fork for UncleSamCoins? I doubt that too. Is Uncle Sam gonna allow banks to hold Bitcoin as currency for meeting reserve requirements? I doubt it.

But now I really am curious...

Me too. "Absorbing" bitcoins would be the same as the Borg in the Star Trek series.

Assimilated. But.. I could be wrong. Its quite the suspense story.

The earlier hints in this thread pointed towards something government-related.
