Hi all, Hadn't had a chance to say hi yet but hi! So I'm able to to create both a physical/in packs and digital asset of trading cards and in this case it would be of you guessed it you guys out there!  I have a few rough sketch up's already done - but each card will have a QR code that uniquely ID's it as yours ( meaning the buyer of it ) - gives its current value etc., etc., . Obviously, the fewer that are in circulation the more valuable it becomes. So you could have only a few runs on of say Phinnaeus Gage or go to some poor rookie but has potential such as x0Jakeyboy0x ( he is creating Oybee ) . There could be even a legends pack that would have Matthew N. Wright or Atlas or Bruce Wagner yes I said it . Anywho, no money invested yet just the cranking of my brain so any brainstorming would be great ....you can flat out tell me dumb idea or whatever it's all good thanks! I haven't even read the OP yet. Just the title of the thread, then quoted the OP, just to quickly say that I like the idea. Of course, the higher the post count, the more valuable, hence scarce the card would be. I'm just sayin'!  Hi! yes, that is exactly part of the "value criteria" actually the back of the card is your Forum profile lol I'll have a sketch-up done tomorrow and will post here for critique and feedback. edit: glad to hear you are blushing  haha.... you want to become the Hank Aaron of Bitcoins don't ya -minus your skin color! FWIW, I like how you think outside the box. Don't forget the sockpuppet set, for if I remember correctly there was this Nikki the Bitch character briefly appearing here. Search for her on this forum. Once they become popular, perhaps some outfit like, I don't know, maybe Mt Gox can set up a trading exchange.  HAHA.... sockpuppet set Wait, was Nikki the Bitch also aka PinkPony? Mt.Gox the magic gathering place haha ...its back ! I think you meant Pinkie Pie, and no! Try again! |

I wonder how close he lives to San Jose and does he need a ride. Someone should buy this guy a ticket to the conference. Let him even speak at the conference in SJ lol Keynote! Seriously, he could do a stand-up routine discussing Bitcoin off the top his head. And check this shit out: For only $10/wk, you can have an ad on all his videos that are currently (and ongoing) uploaded: http://fiverr.com/jerrylittlemars/give-you-50-or-more-real-youtube-subs-subscribers-fast Here's the sweet part: He accepts Bitcoin now. I like this guy! |

Lower turnout due to having the event freely live streamed would be a major concern.
Hopefully, the event will sell out quickly...and thus the Foundation would have enough attendance certainty to consider doing some streaming (free, or paid as thefiniteidea suggests) as a means for widening the reach. Alternatively, what I've seen some companies do in order to give an event higher visibility without risking empty seats, is maybe livestream a keynote or two (or post them online soon afterwards) while leaving the rest of the talks unstreamed and unposted for a few months. But in that case, as thefiniteidea points out, it's best not to announce such a plan beforehand, so as to encourage maximum attendance. So my guess is that there will be 100% silence from the Foundation on the topic of streams until the event is confirmed sold out...which should be easy, given that Bitcoin is unquestionably the most exciting technology since the Internet itself, and the chosen location has the highest concentration of nerds/VCs/entrepreneurs per square mile of just about anywhere else on earth. If executed and advertised properly, this event has the potential to be massive wrt. spawning new Bitcoin startups and generating millions in funding for Bitcoin ventures. Valid point on the streaming aspect being withheld up to the event date, whereby whatever is announced, we shouldn't be that disappointed, but what is paramount is that close to 100% of the event is filmed with utmost quality and released to the general public ASAP. It would be amazing to see the venue sold out, thus creating a secondary market by the scalpers at its entrance. |

Sleek site! Is there, or will there be, a directory?
Thanks for the feedback Phinnaeus! I'm taking all suggestions for new features. Kind of liked the idea of people spreading the urls as they saw fit. But if a directory is wanted, I'll definitely make it happen. Perhaps I'm missing something, but are there products available now? And if yes, how can I browse what's available? Bottom line, this is like ClickBank on steroids: Paid instantly without fear of chargebacks or returns. |

Done correctly, I see this getting legs.
Watching! (first thread I've ever put on a watch list)
~Bruno K~
For only a second time I've added an item to my watch list (Oybee.com thread), and opt to see what's happening with this one. Just curious as to updates. |

@ Yankee or anyone else familiar with the conference proceedings - will reliable WiFi access be available in the events room(s)?
I've attended conferences at the proposed location. It is a premier venue with whatever facilities you can imagine. Technically, anything you require, they can provide. However: I have no clue whether communications services (e.g. WiFi for attendees, or a large pipe for streaming) are standard or will require separate purchase as an add-on from the organizer. Also, possibly the convention center will frown on 3rd party attendees doing A/V work instead of hiring their onsite personnel and equipment. The Foundation will have to figure out all these details based on whatever budget they have for the event, and based on a ticket price that people can afford. From a financial standpoint, announcing that everything will be livestreamed for free could be counterproductive, as it would reduce the incentive for people to fly in and attend. If the event doesn't sell out and break even, it would look very bad for PR reasons, and would likely mean either higher prices for those who do attend or, even worse, possible cancellation of the conference. Lower turnout due to having the event freely live streamed would be a major concern. |

I think you may have done the math correctly, but for a different problem entirely! This is a futures stock market.. you can get all the right picks, but if you pay more for them than somebody else, you'll end up with less money than them and still lose! I believe that with with the use of game theory, there's a way to get a mathematical edge with the way it's currently laid out. EDIT: I get it now! I thought this was the person with the most wins, wins the entire pool. |

Heya! It's been a while, but I just had to make a new NFL playoff pool over at http://www.bitmadness.com/ in honor of the Redskins qualifying! Here's how it works: You start out with $1,000 in your bankroll. Each Monday of the playoffs you get an additional $1,000. You place offers to buy and sell "shares" of various game outcomes (e.g. home team wins, game goes to overtime..). You can trade shares at any time until a game ends, even (especially) during the game! Once a game ends, shares in a successful outcome are worth $1, unsuccessful outcomes are worth nada. The winner is whomever has the highest bankroll after the Super Bowl, which the Redskins will win. Make sense? No? Good! It's pretty nerdy. Sign up now for the free pool to win up to 30 BTC at: http://www.bitmadness.com/pool.php?g=XSUS6U25And/or make your own at: http://www.bitmadness.com/newnflmarket.phpConsider inviting your friends to the free pool.. if only because you get 10% of whatever they win! josh! If I did the math correctly, if I created 2 11 accounts, would I guarantee myself a perfect score for one of the accounts? Moreover, I have 6.26% chance of correctly picking the wildcard winners, thus only needing to create 128 actual accounts to guarantee myself a perfect ticket. Is that last statement correct? |

Another question: Will the discussions/talks be record with quality cameras, manned by competent individuals? There should be no excuses for inferior productions. Who here has quality equipment and is planning on attending? Do you lack anything or have questions or concerns pertaining to the event? Exactly what do you need to make sure the recording process proceeds seamlessly?
As an A/V technician, professionally, I handle a lot of events like this. As a Bitcoin Foundation member, I will be attending with some solid HD gear. All I would request is for a good spot in the back and a direct XLR connection to the mix for high quality sound. I'm also a Newtek Certified presenter, and can run a TriCaster 8000 if we want to do this thing live over livestream.com to the world, which can simultaneously integrate live social media streams. Let me know! I don't think anyone would argue with you livestreaming the events! After all, that's what the community has asked for and attendees have promised, but not delivered on, for all the prior conferences. The question is, can you actually pull it off, unlike all the other who have said they would do so, only to have irreconcilable technical difficulties when push came to shove? @ Yankee or anyone else familiar with the conference proceedings - will reliable WiFi access be available in the events room(s)? And another question: Have you considered a price break for those who are members of TBF? Here's my line of thinking: Assuming $X is the desirable price point you're pegging for, price the fee at $(X + Y) in such a way as to make it worthwhile for a person to become a member of TBF to enjoy the price break. Perhaps I could have sent a PM pertaining to this scheme (for lack of a better word), but opt to present it for all to see. Besides, it's just a suggestion. ~Bruno K~ |

Let me know! This is wonderful news, thefiniteidea. Assuming the organizers are keen on the idea of having some talks/discussions streamed live, do you have assess to a TriCaster 8000 or only informing us that you're capable of operating said device, being certified and all? Over and beyond the streaming aspect, is it safe to assume that you would put the videos on YouTube or, at the very least, make them readily available elsewhere? One more question, and please understand that it has nothing to do whatsoever with your abilities, for they're not in question, but is there a video you can link too, thus showcasing your talent and the equipment in use? I look forward to seeing you at Bitcoin2013. I'll be the guy with scraggly ass beard. ~Bruno K~ |
