Title: Hold Sign "Stop the FED! Use Bitcoins!!!" Bitcoin Bounty! [BOUNTY PAID]
Post by: jimbobway on January 04, 2011, 06:40:12 PM
See the pics here: http://www.bitcoinblogger.com/2011/01/power-of-bitcoins.html


Hold the sign "Stop the FED! Use Bitcoins!!!" in big large words near an intersection with busy people.  Take a nice pic. Send it to me and only to me so I can post it on bitcoinblogger.com.  I will give you 32 bitcoins.  Willing to take suggestions for sign text.

It's also first come-first served.  First person to have a nice pic will get the bounty.   Video is nice but not required.  You must also have fun.  ;D  If you wear a crazy outfit I will send you 0 to 10 extra bitcoins.

Send pic to my email:  bitcoin.cryptocurrency  AT  gmail.com

Crazy outfit is subjective.  I will pay 0 to 10 extra bitcoins depending on the outfit.

I'll pledge 15 bitcoin to the first person to do this and present said photo.  The details of the event would also be nice, but not required.

A short video would be better, in order to better evaluate how many people could have seen the sign, and during how long it was visible.

(a photo could have been shot in 1 sec and then the sign would have been removed).

A video would be better, yes.  But if the sign was put up, and then taken down by the cops 2 minutes later, I'm still game for giving the 15 bitcoins.  So as far as I am concerned, the photo is enough.

How about "Unemployed.  Will work for Bitcoins."  When someone gives change or a few dollars, the person refuses and says... "These are worthless."

Cops? Ohh, they could go all suffragette and chain themselves to railings and stuff. That would get much more publicity.

i just wanted to announce that i claimed the bounty. of course you are all still welcome to jump into your silly costumes and hold up signs. :-)

as the bounty description says "send it to me and only to me" i will not post them here, unless jimbobway gives me his ok.

Anybody willing to donate a decent amount of bitcoins if I stand in front of a Federal Reserve branch with the sign. Obviously, I won't be able to stand there very long as their security guards are quite aggressive.

If you do a video in which you are not braking any law and just pacifically teaching people about what Bitcoin is I will give you 5 BTC. Maybe more will join. :)

Well, I won't be able to teach people about Bitcoin on the federal reserve's property. They would certainly throw me out and possibly have me arrested for trespassing. All I would have time for on the federal reserve property would be to take a quick picture of the sign. I would gladly teach people about bitcoin across the street from the federal reserve if enough people contributed.

Maybe.  I was also thinking about a guy getting naked with the words "Bitcoin", "Bitcoin", "Bitcoin" on his chest.  He get's within earshot of the President and yells "Bitcoin!" three times.  I don't think I have enough bitcoins for someone to do this.  It worked for BattleCam.

I guess that's an other reason why we want videos.  Much more difficult to forge.

Of course it's a "fake" (a stock image with generated text). I didn't claim otherwise. In my post I mentioned how people can make their own.

Anyway, I wish I had that much hair.

I'd be willing to pay $10, but for the flier I'd like to have www.bitcoinblogger.com on it (along with other info).  Also, I don't watch that show so maybe if I could get a youtube vid or screen cap somehow of him on national tv.

I'll pledge 5 bitcoin for a video of you in a stormtropper outfit, on a public street, with pedestrian traffic, for at least 10 minutes, promoting bitcoin in whatever manner you feel is most appropriate.
