wangbus is not a admin at this forum? but hes only doing external work and not part of this forum.

He's staff now apparently. I'm sure it'll cause some confusion and complaints when people see a newbie on staff  Grin.

Hes was probably made a staff member so people would stop mistaking him as an imposter making a joke (myself included)

Why not! He vetted Matt Carson, the first ever double vetted person in all of BitcoinLand.

BTW, I just learnt that MNW deleted his Reddit post. Odd!

Who vetted Matt Carson and who is Matt Carson?

This would be good news actually. Honestly, nothing would get done if this had to be discussed endlessly in the community, hiring a professional studio may actually get it done.

it is not a professional studio. they dont even have a website, or people who work for them.

that $350,000 is to help them start one so they can start on the project.

i just wonder how much this will end up costing and if we end up with anything.

What if the $350K was put in escrow via John K., paid out once the task is completed?

It is $1,000,000 plus now, but this "firm" is not able to do the work with out being able to hire staff and workers. I doubt they would trust that escrow anyway.

You expect him to run a secure forum for a multibillion dollar industry but spend not spend big bucks?

This is A Bitcoin forum, not THE Bitcoin forum.

This is A Bitcoin forum, not THE Bitcoin forum.
De facto, it is.

Anytime a complaint arises, there's someone who emphasizes that this is just a forum, not the forum. See the access over tor thread for example.

I am sure many moderators and staff around here know me as a large pain in the ass, but for once I have to support Theymos on this. You expect him to run a secure forum for a multibillion dollar industry but spend not spend big bucks? As long he is not compromising on security or privacy I think this is a great idea and I hope it gets done ASAP. (PS please don't force us to use Google services for stuff like captcha etc, there are very few free places left where their tentacles don't reach)

FFS people - not that I'm a long time member or anything, but $350,000 for forums? Is that a joke? Are we reinventing the wheel here, or just rediscovering electricity? You could freaking hire a team of MIT students for less to build a state of the art forum on new tech, meanwhile leveraging MIT and the international exposure that would bring. Better end product, and huge free advertising.

Instead you choose WangBus? I guess it's good to be friends with whomever runs these forums, but this is all I need to see as a user to never, ever donate even 1SAT to these forums. That's just a crazy (and irresponsible) use of funds. No one needs that kind of cash to build a forum - no matter what you plan to do with the forum. Everywhere you look, there are better solutions that have already been developed and work just fine.

Anyway - your party. I'm glad I didn't donate, because supporting another man's 'Wanger' just isn't my cup of tea. Of course, you're welcome to all the tea bagging and wangs you can fit in your mouth, or wherever else they're being put for that $350,000.

For $350K I can do the whole forum, and in less than a year. Also what happen to people that had to build the most of the forum software and show it to the community thread? Theymos we need answers and now.

Thank you leak, you did this community a service!

nobody picked up on his play on bangbus? wangbus?

This is the first thing that came into my mind.. Grin Grin

Wondering, if this is only a coincidence or has something to do with Matthew N. Wright's in the meantime deleted Reddit post (mirror).
