"This proposal has reached 100% commitment. We are preparing for its launch and expect to create it soon."

Just in case anyone isn't aware, once we do hit 100% there will be a bit more waiting for the Stack Exchange staff to actually set up the site, according to what I've read. Might be a few days? After that the site will be in private beta for a week with just those that are currently signed up, and then will be opened to the public.

what was the problem with shapado again? http://bitcoin.shapado.com/
of course this has to run non-commercial and with a couple of well trusted moderators.

This was discussed in one of the original Stack Exchange threads. Some folks are of the opinion that SE has better features than the alternatives, though I can't comment on that myself. One big advantage is that the Bitcoin SE will get traffic from the rest of the SE network, which will allow it to grow faster than an alternative Q&A site would. Bitcoin itself will also gain more attention as a nice side effect.
At this point there wouldn't be any value in switching, as the site will launch in the next few days and will have a pre-existing userbase. The Bitcoin Shapado site doesn't appear to have any users at all.

One more bump before bed. Need TWO more high rep users, and 4% more commitment score (so maybe 8 users total). C'mon guys, I want to see this thing done when I wake up tomorrow.
August 19, 2011, 06:02:51 PM
95% commitment score. Probably need about 10 more signups in total.
August 19, 2011, 12:20:34 PM
Hey guys, guess what?
Bump.
Bump.

Our "commitment score" now seems to be the limiting factor that we need to increase, at 94%. We need more users regardless of reputation level (though not many more) in order to increase it. We only need 4 more high-rep users.

Might want to post some comments on the bitcoin questions over at the personal finance SE inviting them to check out the bitcoin proposal:
http://money.stackexchange.com/search?q=bitcoin
That could help to pick up some interested users.

I tried that with one of the bitcoin questions on Stack Overflow, but it felt too much like spamming. Not sure if it's actually against the rules, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is.

See how different this dialog is going oppose to me calling you a (insert any bad word here), and it all would of started because of a simple misunderstanding. I'm sure you've witnessed many back-and-forth exchanges on this board that didn't end well. I'm 51 with a lot of life experience under my belt, therefore I know how to handle ridicule (for lack of a better word). There's folks here a heck of a lot younger that simply post FU at the FIRST sign of being criticized. But enough said of that for it's Bitcoin...(needs a great Water Under the Bridge analogy--any suggestions).
Ironically, being more argumentative and confrontational would probably gain this thread more attention. Just look what happened with ixcoin; I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have taken off (such as it did) without all the haters repeatedly bumping that thread when it first showed up.
Also, 94%. O_O
I don't know where you get off tearing my post apart like that. I put a lot of work into into that post. Never in my wildest dreams did I even imagine that my post would be used in such a fashion. Why don't you take your teeny ass fingers over to the Justin Bieber forum and type your crap. I want this member banded for life on this forum.
How's that for being more argumentative and confrontational? I could have done better, but I was laughing so hard while typing. I enjoyed your post, Chris. Cheers.

...We just need more SE experts (apparently they don't hang around here much).

Well, 224 committers in 3 months is not bad at all. We just need more SE experts (apparently they don't hang around here much). Anyway, it should launch next week, at most.
