Do you know *where* on the expressway it is so some of us can drive by it? Should I look for corn?

Now if only Google would drive by again while it's up!

"The Honey Badger"?  LOL!

Awesome!   :D

Need t-shirts!  Shirtoshi.com are you here?

i'd buy one

Same here!

me likeey...

now who's brave enough to replace those bank billboards and replace it with bitcoins? lol

Great! But why not drawing any coin on it?

I'm sure there will be much more drawn on it after midnight.

I had never heard of the honey badger (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg). Had to look it up. Thank you!  :D

Kupsi, THIS is how you learn about the Honey Badger:

That looks like the old Corn Palace property - well done, Roger!

I already linked to that video, but thank you  :)

Egg on face...didn't notice that.

Thanks for not ripping me too hard.

 ;)

I too was not up on the honey badger reference. That video was awesome. The narration was perfect too LOL

"Here comes a King Cobra. I wonder what's going to happen."

Sweet!

We need these all over the place.

Amazing!

Lol, this video is awesome. I can't stop joking.

Love everything about this

This is awesome. Great way to increase awareness.

I'd get a shirt

I would love to buy some shirts as well.

As long as evoorhees is okay with it, I'll make it! Maybe without the stripes on the left? Just awaiting a confirmation... or roger are you allowed to confirm it? Lemme know!

(I am Shirtoshi.)

Please consider the image part of the public domain or copy left or whatever.
(Feel free to use it however you want)

Thanks for the image.

Now available on Zazzle.com for those that want to pay with fiat (or if you want to be able to choose a specific kind of shirt), but otherwise I recommend Shirtoshi.

Honey Badger don't fiat!

Great, now can we crowdsource this onto 10 more billboards?  ;D

Awesome.

I'm not sure if that's such good advice!

I'd ask the creator first as he's selling it on shutterstock. https://www.facebook.com/patrick.guenettebusby http://www.morphart.ca/

How can he hold a copyright on an engraved illustration from 1895? I believe the max on a copyright is 95 years from first publish and that engraving was published by Larive and Fleury in 1895...

I think he redrew it as a vector, not sure. Glad I looked it up though.

So the design is not owned by anyone here?

It's likely that the 1895 source image is no longer copyrighted, yet the vector created from said source image is (if that makes any sense). I'm not sure if one cancels the other.

The idea here is Bitcoin don't give a shit à la the meme/YouTube video? I don't get it. Is that the image we want to present for Bitcoin?

Try to imagine the competition using the same advert. Would it work? AmazonPayments - the Honey Badger of money. No, doesn't really work.

Love the shirt and the video.

Here is an alternative voiceover for the video, using Bitcoin ...


This is the Bitcoin. Watch it hash in slow motion.

It's pretty badass. Look. It hashes all over the place. "Whoa! Watch out!" says that bank.

Eew, it's got encryption! Oh! It's chasing a merchant service! Oh my gosh!

Oh, the Bitcoin is just crazy!

The Bitcoin has been referred to by the Guiness Book of World Records as the most fearless currency on the Internet. It really doesn't give a shit. If it's hashing, it's mining.

Eew! What's that in its block chain? Oh, it's got a double-spend? Oh, it runs backwards? Now watch this: look FICEN's up in courts. Bitcoin don't care. It just takes what it wants. Whenever it's mining it just -- Eew, and it mines, transactions... Watch it reward! Look at that mining.

The Bitcoin is really pretty badass. It has no regard for any other currency whatsoever. Look at it, it's just hashing, and mining blocks. Eew! What's that? Silk Road? Oh that's nasty. Bitcoin's so nasty. Oh look it's hashing things and mining them.

The Bitcoin has a fairly long block chain, but a distinctly thickset encryption scheme, and, you know, its developers are loose, allowing it to move about freely, and they twist around.

Now look: Here's a house full of gold bugs. Do you think the Bitcoin cares? It doesn't give a shit, it goes right into the homes of libertarians to get some liquidity. How disgusting is that? It mines silk road transactions. Eew, that's so nasty.

But look! The Bitcoin doesn't care! It's users get hacked like a thousand times. It doesn't give a shit. It's just mining. It doesn't care about being hacked by the feds. Nothing can stop the Bitcoin when it's mining. What a crazy fuck! Look, it's mining anonymous transactions, that's disgusting.

It's hashing in slow-motion again. See?

Now, what's interesting is that other currencies like the dollar here, they just wait around until the bitcoin crashes, and then it swoops in to pick up the scraps. It says, "You do all the work for us, Bitcoin, and we'll just profit whatever you mine, how's that? What'daya say, stupid?"

Look at this currency: "Thanks for the treat, stupid!"

"Hey, come back here," says the Bitcoin.

Currencies don't care, and you know what? The alt-coins do it too. Look at these little alt-coins. They're like "Thanks stupid! Thanks for the mining! See you later." The Bitcoin does all the work and all these other currencies just pick up the scraps.

At nightime the Bitcoin goes mining, because it's hashing. Look! Here comes a fierce battle between a government currency and Bitcoin. I wonder what will happen?

Look at this, there's the Bitcoin just hashing a block, and then look, "Get away from me!" says the government, "Get away from me!" Bitcoin don't care. Bitcoin smacks the shit out of it. And the government comes back and it lashes at the Bitcoin.

Oh, little does the Bitcoin know, FYI: it's been hacked! It's been forked by the 51% attack, so while it's hashing the block chain -- eew, that's disgusting -- all the hacked blocks are seeping into the Bitcoin's block chain, and it forks out. Look at that forked fuck.

Now the Bitcoin is going to fork out for a few minutes, and then it's going to get right back up and start hashing all over again, because it's a resiliant little bastard.

Look at this! Like nothing happened! The Bitcoin gets right back up and continues hashing the block chain.

How disgusting.

And of course, what does the Bitcoin have to hash for the next two weeks?

Transactions.

The Bitcoin.

WTF does that billboard even mean ??  ???

ROFL! Bitcoinchecker, did you really write all that out yourself? or has this been used before?

This should answer your question there bigdude.

"Honey badgers favor bee honey, and will often search for beehives to get it, which earns them their name. They often follow a honeyguide (a bird that eats bee larvae) to find the beehives."

Unfortubately, I didn't write it.

I found it on reddit ... http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1gagle/lol_new_bitcoin_billboard_in_san_jose_honey_badger/


The guys over there are now on about getting a new video made using this voicover.


Brilliant stuff.

Okay so after speaking with MemoryDealers. It seems like we can proceed forward with this funding.

I set the price for $13 to help keep costs low enough so that you aren't spending much on it.

Profits will be shared towards funding the development of the IOS/Android version of Bitcoin Feeds app: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=220659

What do you think?

Nice. I want a T-shirt just like that! I am getting the Wallet ready!

I love this...! Would be awesome with a bitcoin voiceover!  ;D ;D

No, no, see it is portraying how Bitcoin is all hip and new and avantgarde and right at the top of things by... clinging to the coat-tails of a 2 year old Internet Meme.

Why the secrecy? I'm still waiting on a public explanation of the copyright so we can all be sure its okay to use. Getting sued sucks.

that's  Great  i want one  ;D

LOL - Where's the beef?

awesome lol

Nice!  ;D

Just one more order for this to "tip" (where shirts will be produced and orders shipped).

Done : )

Hope they're gonna print them ASAP.

The graphic was bought from ShutterStock (by myself) with proper license for commercial use.

Oh I figured that much, I was just under the impression that to give it to *others* (like the t-shirt guy) that he'd need to also buy a license for use on t-shirts and such. I'm no expert, but last time I wanted to use an image like that for a product, I contacted the creator directly and bought all rights to it less the rights already sold to others to make sure (he removed it from stock sites afterwards). Probably better than using shutterstock actually!
