Blog (WIP): www.roadtrip.falltime.de

We are 2 german guys (brothers) in the age of 33 and 25.
From July 29th, through September 9th (42 days) we'll be on our Bitcoin supported road trip across the USA.
We're offering you the possibility to stick your advertisement/message/etc. of/for your company/web project/girlfriend/etc. on our car and take part of the trip.
Additionally you can promote in a different way (see below).



We're going to attach your advertisement/messages/etc. to our car with some magnetic decals.
These decals (or other items, see packages below) should be prepared by yourself and delivered to us in time (No later than 28.07.2014).
It is also possible that we order the things you want in germany, so you don't have to send them to us, or that we pick up the materials in the US.



Route:
http://s1.directupload.net/images/140716/mhg66f59.png

Yosemite National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Mount Rushmore/Crazy Horse, Chicago, New York City, Washington D.C.

End: Fort Lauderdale (Florida)

Of course we're gonna see a lot more, this is just an overview.
A more detailed view is available at: http://www.roadtrip.falltime.de/route/

* Refers to available space when maximum dimensions are chosen.
** Refers to the maximum transportable size of a sticker / billboard. Thus, for example the place on the hood is larger than 50x35cm (100x100cm) , so it is possible to combine 2 decals with one motif.

All packages and additional services can be combined.



If none of the packages are what you're thinking of, or you have a completely different idea, we'll do our best to accomplish it.
In any case, just write a PM or ask here in the thread questions. Alternatively, it is also possible to contact me via Skype.: polarstormelite



Upon request I can create the labels/plates/etc. Costs are negotiable.




Refund&warranty:
It is not guaranteed that: The route is driven as described. The car is an Ford Mustang convertible. The trip is not prematurely interrupted/canceled.
There is no possibility of a refund , with the exception of the case the trip is canceled even before 29.07.2014 due to own fault. In this case only booking costs are refunded, other expenses are not.
The latest possible cancellation of a booked package is 07/25/2014, 10% cancellation fee.
If an item/sticker/etc. is stolen, or gets damaged, or something happens that makes it impossible to fulfill a booked package, there is also no entitlement of an refund.




Support:

We show with this sticker on the car


http://s7.directupload.net/images/140716/syw7ponj.png

that the tour is possible through and with bitcoins.


So people, away from the Internet , hear about it, which otherwise would have never heard about it.

If you generally find the idea a good one, but you don't want to book one of the packages, we would appreciate a small donation.

If all donations together reach an ammount of 0.5 BTC one "Zeus Blizzard Miner" will be raffled under all donators which have donated at least 0.01 BTC.

At the end of the trip we donate all the things we don't need any longer to an charitable organization, or to an waif of our choice.

Nice idea, good luck with it, sadly I'm not US based so it is not suitable for me :(


Title: Re: USA ROADTRIP POWERED BY BITCOIN
Post by: Polarstorm on July 17, 2014, 08:36:43 AM
You don't have to live in the US.

Everyone from every country can participate.


Why do you think you have to be an u.s. citizen ?


Title: Re: USA ROADTRIP POWERED BY BITCOIN
Post by: jonanon on July 17, 2014, 08:39:51 AM
I should also mention that I have nothing to promote  :(


Title: Re: USA ROADTRIP POWERED BY BITCOIN
Post by: redhawk979 on July 17, 2014, 08:44:44 AM
Ugh please give it a break. Didn't some couple come here a year ago documenting their "Life on Bitcoin!" which was nothing more than "Well we exchange it for Gift cards and trade for dollars everywhere we go"?


Title: Re: USA ROADTRIP POWERED BY BITCOIN
Post by: Polarstorm on July 17, 2014, 08:48:00 AM
I don't know what you are talking about red.


Anyway, the trip isn't about "life on bitcoin".



You could promote "Bitcoin" jonason.

Maybe a sticker with "Obama loves Bitcoin", oder "Bitcoin beats Wall Street", or anything you could imagine. :)

Ha-Ha. What about gas costs, hotels, food, etc?
And wouldn't people rather want the Bitcoin Car more, they don't have to pay?
Why did you pull a image off Google for the car?

Why is the topic self-moderated? Censorship?

The idea seems poorly planned for me.

Dude, the trip is already booked...there is no "need" to donate/book packages that the trip can happen, all is already paid.


It's selfmoderated, because some people love to troll.

The picture from the car is from google because we get the car when we are in the u.s. so logicaly i can't show a picture because i don't know which car exactly we get.

Didn't you read the post ? We are germans, we fly to florida, rent a car and so on...


Title: Re: USA ROADTRIP POWERED BY BITCOIN
Post by: jonanon on July 17, 2014, 08:53:38 AM
I would only look to promote something that would, or could potentially, offer me a return on investment, how would promoting Bitcoin benefit me?


Title: Re: USA ROADTRIP POWERED BY BITCOIN
Post by: Polarstorm on July 17, 2014, 08:54:44 AM
The more people know about Bitcoin, the Network benefits, and so do you.

So you're stating you don't need to charge for packages? I mean, seriously, more than $100 for a photo?
If there's no need for packages, why do you have them?

Do you have any proof you proof you rented that car, or that you even have a plane ticket?


Title: Re: USA ROADTRIP POWERED BY BITCOIN
Post by: Polarstorm on July 17, 2014, 08:59:37 AM
I think you missunderstood something acs.

Its not "one" picture. We take pictures all along the trip, or wear the clothes you want us to do as long as you want and in the places you want, the stickers are on the car the whole trip, and so on.


Sure i can proof that we have the tickets, and the ESTA (entry clearance). The car will be booked in 2-4 days.

Hardly, if someone invests x amount they want to see x back +++.

Oh! Because a amateur photo is worth so much!


Where's the proof, mate?

Look, if you have nothin to advertise, and also don't get the point in "bringing the bitcoin message to the people" i can't help ya.

We thought it is a good idea, if you don't, well ok, thats no problem. :)





Acs, has anyone said that we are pros ? No. Beside this, where is said that a picture cost 100 bucks ??? I think you should read the entry post again.

What proof do you want ? The ticket bill ?

Am all BTC if would happen maybe get 2 weeks off the normally day to day job and get some BTC flowing in and maybe some sponsorships. Am already considering getting an event going myself but lots to plan first and see if would be worth while for every to take part in.

Post by: Polarstorm on July 21, 2014, 05:14:08 AM
It will be rented, as i said before.

Thats why  i can't show a picture of the real car, beacuase i don't know if we really get a mustang, or maybe a chrysler, or something else. We will see what Alamo gives us when we arrive.

Also we will complete the tourbook in the next days.
