Hmm, pretty good, but still a bit over the head of most people, I think.  You should add a blurb about www.bitcoinme.com near the end.

I liked the video, but your average internet user will have no clue what they are talking about.

Hopefully, understanding the operation of bitcoin won't be a prerequisite for average people to adopt it :)

good quick effort, noagenda, your video is much more understandable for average folk. :)

However, I don't really think these xtranormal videos are the best way to communicate the concepts underlying bitcoin.  I think that a shorter (1-2 minute) visual animation showing a transaction getting verified in a network would be the best way to communicate the concept to average people so that they can *see* how bitcoin works.

I agree. Visual animation would work better than talking heads.

I don't get that.
Why do you people let the computer speak for your characters ?
Why don't you just use your own voices ?

Robo-speaking is totally distracting for most people.

Good effort, but PLEASE PEOPLE stop making xtranormal videos!!!!!!!
just because theres a cartoon face with some monotone voice doesn't make it any more interesting than just reading it on paper.
if you're gonna do a cartoon, do something along the lines of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVkFb26u9g8
