Migrating this here from the main thread. Just a suggestion, so please feel free to take it or leave it. But I think you might discuss what email did to the post office, as an example of how bitcoin might effect banks.
Instant free messaging, independent of the Post Office.
Instant free money transactions, independent of banks,.
I think its an opportunity to get a profound point across to your audience. |

I like the sentiments of OP ... though 'network currency' can sound like 'networking marketing .... pyramid, etc.
"Internet Currency" could be more appropriate, useful and correct , since it operates on layer 4 and above, not on the network hardware anyway (yet?)
Bingo! I was wondering if this point was going to brought up, for if it hadn't I was going to pen something similar. Amway, et al., were considered MLMs, until it was remarketed as Network Marketing. Insurance companies are base on the same principle. There's probably a large demographic that has a negative cognition toward the term network, although I do see the beauty in its usage. One main problem I see with the term "Internet Currency" is the number of syllables it has. Perhaps, if it were shorten to something like "Netcy" it may have a chance. |

David Spade and Christina Applegate fighting back completely losing it never gets old. Their expressions to Farley going off-script are better than the skit itself. I thought that was Christina when I first view it. |

You could just transfer bitcoins to an exchange and then withdraw them sometime later - the bitcoins you get back will not be the same ones you sent. The exchange will have the same information about you either way.
So, in essence, the exchange acts as a mixer or laundry service. |

Litecoin: Where Obfuscation Rules
Seriously, if this is the case, then Litecoin has a shot of becoming more viable for those whom cherish their anonymity.
If not the case, make it so, then market it as such.

Seriously, no suggestions? Not even one for changing the name of documentary?

Since they're having problems testing on the test rig, simply test it live. Any coins earned, they can donate to a charity of Frizz's choice. |

Technically an adult but not old enough to drink.
Au contraire (that's French), for we're speaking in terms of internet years, akin to dog years, of which there's a formula to calculate the real age of a dog. After penning the above (seriously, even though it uses the same analogy), I hunted Google and found the following: http://www.fatdux.com/blog/2009/09/22/calculating-the-length-of-an-internet-year/And that means X = 4.7 years. So, it seems that Bitcoin can legally buy and drink NEFT Vodka most anywhere in the world, for it's clearly over 21. |

LOL! Trust me I'm still working on it... I literally have to weed out some app specific bugs...
Stupid example, on the site it renders fine in the Android browser, when I put that in app format it scrolls side to side on some android phones... for no apparent reason.
I am completely trying to get this fixed now, but in the meanwhile I did modify the rss feeds and cleaned them up because they were getting hammered big time with the Bitcoin price increase.
Perhaps, if you would've made it a pre-order option, it would almost be completed by now, and you wouldn't be posting so often. Have you considered hired a PR guy to handle public relations while you work on this epic app? I would help, but don't know a damn thing about app building. Does the Android have clock buffers? Seriously, I'll probably won't be using it, but was very happy to donate to the cause so that others could have it. Later, bud. ~Bruno K~ |

WTF am I watching, glory holes are actually wall pussies? TIL LOL
I don't even know where to begin in choosing keywords to hunt Google so I could submit a GIF. Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury. It was been shown that the defendant once Googled 'Fucking a Brick Wall' while searching for an animated GIF. Ask yourselves this question, "Would you have this ANIMAL house-sit your puppies now that you're aware of this tidbit?"
The Defense rest! |

I just realized that I'm who started this. Sorry, vite, but my post was only meant for humor purposes, and in no way was it a personal attack against your sorry half-bolding ([/b]) ass.  Later, bud. ~Bruno K~ |

Haven't heard too many suggestions so far  As promised in my mega post above, I created a thread for just this very thing: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=12.0I, in now way, am connected with this endeavor, but am doing everything within my power to help them bring this venerable documentary to fruition. ~Bruno K~ |

Currently, the official page of Bitcoin The Documentary is located at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149892.0Their official site is located at http://bitcointhedocumentary.org/Their donation page is http://bitcointhedocumentary.org/wordpress/?page_id=61And the Bitcoin address they are using to accept donations is 1MuNPrfNMho5UP9312m3idzauwaCi57fLe This thread was created for the sole purpose of allowing users to submit ideas, no matter how offbeat they may seem, so that those producing the documentary would have a dedicated thread to read all your submissions. The producers may, or may not, comment on any of the suggestions, but they'll be located on one thread nonetheless. ~Bruno K~ |

 Surely, they're not planning on playing the Hacked card. Good news, and some not too good news. First the good news: The units are almost ready to be shipped, albeit a tad late, but you'll be pleasantly surprised with their performance. Now the not too good news, which isn't as bad as our competition's lack of communication, or like being stuck in some muck a hundred feet below street level. You've probably notice that as of late our sites have been going offline quite frequently. The causes were due to DDoS attacts by unknowns, but we're pretty sure we know who in China is behind it. Long story short, we got hacked last night. To be clear, none of our assets were stolen, which is a tremendous blessing. Thank you, Zeus. But, and I say this with much regret, all the ordering information is now missing. What does this mean? Well, in layman's terms, all the ordering information is now missing. You're probably now asking yourself why we didn't have backups. Honest Abe, that is what we were exactly doing late last night, but it was during another DDoS attact that sidetracked us, when the files were deleted. We're pretty sure there wasn't enough time for the hackers to save the files before deleting them, but to be on the safe side we are asking all users to log in and change their passwords when we get back online, hopefully within the next 48 hours. As always, I'll be providing regular updates as they become available. The following is our projected timeline to resolve this issue: First 24 Hours:- Post this good news, not so good news post.
- Take a break.
- After eating pizza, me and the engineers descend to the lab like a swarm of locus.
- Take pictures of idle equipment.
- Point fingers at the problem, making sure no mirrors are present.
Final 24 Hours:- Post that no updates are available.
- Enjoy second anniversary party, eating chicken and Raspberry Pi.
As you well enough know from past hacks, though ours is in no way that severe, it'll take time to reconstruct all the ordering information, but with the help of BitPay's records, the task at hand shouldn't take too long. Our biggest concern is that somebody doesn't receive a 1,500 GH/S BITCOIN MINER when, in fact, they only ordered a coffee warmer. In closing, BFL sincerely apologizes for this delay, and there was no way to prepare for it short of backing up our systems of which I've proven we were in the process of doing prior to the deleting of files by them sorry ass HACKERS.
