Accountant Jonathan Day (www.carpediem.je) talks at the July 2013 Tech Tribes Talks in Jersey and explains his thoughts and experience with crypto-currency Bitcoin. Jonathan has been involved in mining for a fair and shares his thoughts on his various setups, including a Butterfly Labs Jalapeno, ASIC USB Block Erupter & ASIC miners.

The audience was made up from representatives from legal, banking, private finance, education and tech industries and the general awareness of Bitcoin was pretty high. Jonathan (not being from a tech background) did a decent job of explaining the general ideas and methods behind Bitcoin.

(ignore the fact he keeps on referring to it as bitcoins, and that the mic placement led to some phone interference at points).
