I have a suggestion: I think you would have much higher quality shirts if you offered a shirt designer tool (and maybe share of profit to the people making designs). I say this because I considered ordering a t-shirt, but couldn't find one that suits my taste (I want much smaller logo (chest) and a better anti-bank slogan).

I think this alone would be a great tool. Especially if it allowed use of pre-created images that could be 'placed','sized' etc. Not only shirts, but other objects as well.

There's many tools like that out there and integraton / licensing is not free. I think however it could be worth the cost. It's something to consider: shirts designed by bitcoiners for bitcoiners. Monetary incentive can produce great results.

When I search for bitcoin shirts, I see sponsored ads of "Shop for bitcoin shirts on Google" at the top, and bitcoin gear as the first organic result.

I haven't clicked on anything relating to Bitcoin tshirts, and if you have then it's going to be ranked higher for your personalized search results.

Thanks. I managed to buy a good chunk of shares.

When is the next issuance planned? (Please announce the issuance in advance.)

Hello wisard.

Thank you for your support!

We do not know when we will be releasing our next batch of shares.

We are going to release more shares along with a press release.

We will let everyone know in this thread 24 hours before.

Thanks again.

Hello Molecular

Dividends
Dividends will be paid between the 1st and 5th of each month for the prior months profits.
A monthly statement will be provided at or around the time of Dividend payout.
First public dividend payout will be for the profits of the month of March at the beginning of April.

Ah, thank you. I must've read right past that last sentence Wink

All good. I have high hopes in your business and am confident you will do your best (already great job, not to downplay anything you've done so far).

Oh, and also:

you are #1 on google for "bitcoin tshirts" from "my google view".

Why does this look exactly like the ZigGap OP? Are the issues related? I'm thinking, they were written up by a PR man working for BitFunder (i.e. it might not be a 'bad' reason). Please inform! ty

Has nothing to do with ZigGap.

We have been around much longer than they have..

Thanks for the question.

It didnt really answer the question. I noticed the same thing and it looks suss. It also opens a can of worms if you copied and pasted and broke the authors copyright and now they can sue you for it.

Not that it is likely but you never know, the way copyright is these days.

Copyright infringement on a bitcoin stock description? Probably a stretch. I'm pretty sure Bitfunder helped write both of them, hence the similarity.

This sounds like a real bitcoin company with a dedicated management.

I'm happy to invest, however...

Quote from: FlipPro on February 25, 2013, 04:09:18 PM

Bitcoin Pride currently holds 25M shares that represent our 50% cut of the total profits.

We have exclusive right to 2,500,000 of those shares for operational purposes. So when dividends come in 2.5M shares will be paid first.

...what does this mean "will be paid first". Are these 2.5M shares somehow different than the other shares?

The shares are normal shares, they just happen to be used by the company to maintain growth, these 2,500,000 shares are part of our 50% stake.

"2,500,000 shares will be retained by BitPride to maintain a growth and expansion fund. Possible uses of this fund may be used to
cover up front costs for bulk product production. Should it be determined that the growth fund is not needed, all amounts held by
the growth shares will be equally distributed per share at the following dividend, and the shares may be posted for sale."

Right now BitcoinPride.com owns 50% of the shares. It's selling the other 50% over the coming weeks. Eventually we hope to have a community owned site.

I understand what's written in the contract. What threw me off was you writing here: " will be prayed first". Still don't get what that is supposed to mean.

Unfortunately the difference between "scam" and "investment" when it comes to bitcoin is so thin as to be virtually identical. Bitfunder doesnt have a feedback system either so its difficult to know what is legit or not. Sadly most of it is shit.

I think the community needs the scams to mature, but I agree, I do not care to BitFunder that much, too hard to get enough info to make any choice, but this forum is giving us that opportunity.

Not really. This forum promotes some of the largest scams and indeed makes them worse than they should be. For instance hiding posts about BFL which would have a negative impact on companies that are relying on BFL equipment to ever make a return.

I wont even begin with the Pirate stuff and how many of the operators and promoters of that massive scam dont have scammer labels.
