This will just be an overarching statement to those who have posted here and those who have PMed me about taking over my ventures:
No. I will find suitable people who I know and trust and who I feel are competent to continue them in the right direction. If your name doesn't come to my mind naturally and you have to pitch the idea yourself, then I obviously don't know/trust you well enough to hand over such ventures.

Sorry I offered.

You are still keeping a little stash that you can tuck away "for a rainy day", right?

If you still wanna unload some BTC, the address in my signature line would accept it. No donation is too small or too large!

The revolution will be monetized!

You could just be less active, right? In any case, you would always be welcomed back.

#RIP freemoney

Hello,

I am looking to become more involved with the bitcoin community and have already built a small GPU farm and established some good credit here and there. I am not quitting Bitcoin EVER, in fact I am planning my own BTC venture soon.

If it may help at all, I would like to step up and deal with any matters you are involved in if all parties can agree. Just an offer.

You could PM me with some details, or if surely, I am way out of my league, just ignore me.

Best of luck to you, please don't quit.

Away on an extended break

And I've still not reconfigured my miners yet. Tongue

I'm sorry to see another valued member of the community go, and be sure to come back when bitcoins trade above $30 again! Cheesy

Best of luck to your career and future endeavours!

Quitting is easy... I've done it a thousand times.

Ah, so this isn't the first ponzi you've run? xD

On a more serious note, I do not think pirate is running a ponzi nor a money laundering operation, in case anyone was wondering. Wink

Since you're leaving anyway, no reason to butter me up.

Anyway, I wish you luck in your travels. See you in a few months. Tongue

Wasn't me buttering up anyone, only stating my opinion on a rather controversial topic.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I think you're leaving Bitcoin as a major participant or programmer or coder or services developer. The actual bitcoins in your wallet that belong to you, you should get to keep it.

If you can't trust that you will retain it when you move (because your computer or laptop can get lost or compromised) and you can't afford to have it on paper, then the best way would be to send the bitcoins to the people here.

My suggestion is to consolidate it into one (or a few) private address, print that out, and keep it with your passport. You're not going to lose that. You could also just email it to yourself, encrypted of course.

If you just let it go, then of course, no one else will ever have access to the bitcoins, and it will be eaten up or absorbed by the bitcoin economy.

Yes, whatever I don't donate away to people I will keep in cold storage.
I already have some keepsakes like a 10 BTC Casascius silver coin with the extra gold plating.

I am voluntarily donating the coins I hold as a gesture of kindness. No one is "forcing" me to give them away, so I am keeping the coins I want to keep.

Keep your bitcoins offline. You know, cold storage, paper wallet, whatever. When you're in London, you can sell it there to someone. By that time, you'd double or triple what it was worth.

Or send it to everyone who posted here, divided as you see fit. I'm a nobody, but if you're leaving bitcoin, help a newbie out? (This is how I got twinked in an online game a long time ago, someone was leaving, and I was the lucky Level 1 character in the same area that inherited Level 50 equipment.)

Thanks.

P.S. I can sign a contract that says "Don't touch my bitcoins until 10 years from now, but we'll split it then when I get back."

Then I will destroy every computer that has the private key after printing it on paper, engrave it on stone or something, then hiding it in a hole. I live in Asia, in a third world country, with a battalion of armed guards/soldiers. I have a wife and a kid, so I'm not going anywhere. Your bitcoins are safe with me.

I am going to distribute all of my bitcoin assets to people I feel helped me get to the position I am at.

Was an announcement necessary? lol

Yes, it was. I owe it to the parties involved in the deals I have partaken in and to the shareholders of the GLBSE asset which I co-operate with Smickles. I can't just get up and leave without letting people know what's happening, why it is, and how I plan to deal with it.

Bitcoin is the future. If you want to build a great future, dont quit Bitcoin it will be a misstake.
Take a break and come back with new energy in a couple of months when price has doubled.
