Title: Bitcoin video demonstrating advancements in the bitcoin universe
Post by: Mr.Bitcoin on September 17, 2011, 04:31:01 PM
Hi all.
The team here at MrBitcoin.com (3 brothers with too much time on their hands) have decided to create a video that discusses recent advances to the bitcoin economy. One of us is a film and animation professor, so it won't be half assed. This video will hopefully feature a few core awesome new technologies (ie bit-pay) but it will harp on smaller ones as well. The purpose of the video will be to educate non bitcoiners and to hopefully draw them into the bitcoin experience.

In creating this topic we hope to get suggestions from everyone in the forum community on what to feature in the video. Products that can be purchased (I know this topic was explored in the original bitcoin video, but much has changed since then), websites that offer bitcoin services, b+m shops that accept bitcoin, etc. will be it's focus.

FYI: nowhere in the video will there be an advertisement of other cryptocurrencies, nor will there be slander of other cryptocurrencies (even though we would love to, it's not professional). This will be all bitcoin and only bitcoin.

Thanks for any and all constructive advice.

Then you definitely want to touch on http://www.casascius.com

Also, as person-to-person (P2P) purchases increases with recent innovations such as AirBNB and Zaarly, for instance, or even for purchases with the older P2P methods, eBay and Craiglist, there are instances where escrow would be useful.  One of the more widely used Bitcoin escrow services is BTCrow.com -- perhaps that would be a great service to feature.

none of this has to do with Bitcoin directly.
