Would you invest your bitcoins in it .  Definitely, providing the guy in charge can convince me he is motivated, competent and powerful. |

A bitcoin-aware bank would be a major breakthrough for the bitcoin community, for it would provide a gateway between bitcoin and national currencies via smartcards (VISA or other).
Basically when you need to purchase something, you first buy the appropriate amount in the national currency with your bitcoins on a global bitcoin exchange place. Your bank would allow this and provide technical solutions to do so. Once you bought the national currency amount, you can proceed to paiement as any normal banking paiement.
This would be enough to claim a 100% success of the bitcoin project, imo.

I voted "debasement".
"Theft" is a bit too hard a word, imo.
Inflation is theft only if you hoard cash during long period of time. Very few people do that, precisely because they are aware of inflation.
Also: gold exists (and so does bitcoin, now).
So there is no way inflation can steal you any significative fraction of your wealth, unless you are very financially unwise.
PS. You could have added "Tax" as a possible choice for your poll.

I guess it is possible to convert the difficulty into a unit of power (in watt, assuming everyone use a common market graphic card). But this would give only the consumption for the winning nodes.
Some statistics should allow to evaluate the number of nodes, and thus the total consumption.
Quite a difficult maths problem, though.

This video is a seriously great bitcoin achievment.
I mean: it has been funded thanks to a bitcoin bounty. It's kind of a proof of concept by itself.

This video has qualities making is suitable even for TV ads!
This is an idea. How much would it cost to air it on US national TV? Maybe we should start a bounty for that  |

What's the difference between bitcoin.org community and bitcoin community?
They just are not the same people. I just think that if, on bitcoin.org, we use a video that redirects to weusebitcoin.com, then the visitor can be confused, and thus we should give some eplanation. PS. We could place the video with an introduction such as: << Here is a short indroduction video made by our fellows on weusebitcoin.com: >> |

It is done by members of the bitcoin community.
Members of the bitcoin community? sure. Members of the bitcoin.org community? Not so sure. Otherwise they would have mentionned bitcoin.org at the end of their video. But again: it's ok if they mention their own website. It is their work after all. But if we want to use this video, it worths warning the viewer. |

Ideally if we were to add it to the bitcoin.org home page, it would be nice to keep it neutral and edit the last part of the video to mention bitcoin.org instead of the author's site.
This video is the product of their work. I won't blame them for taking credit for it and putting their own website link at the end. So I don't think it is necessary to edit the video. However, a small textual note could be added above the video, saying that this video was not done by members of the bitcoin.org community. |

It is indeed a bit fast but imo it's ok for a quick introduction video. It also gives energy and rythm to the thing. If it were slower, it could be boring.
People who want to have a deeper understanding of bitcoin will just have to visit the given link.

This is actually a pretty good video Well done! PS. Am I the only one who thinks that this video could replace Gavin's speech video on bitcoin.org? |

Hum, do you think this is the reason for the recent surge in Wikipedia's article number of wisits? |

I whish I could think of bitcoin more as a protocol than as a software. But I can't since there is no RFC or clear protocol description document. Satoshi's white paper is nice, but it is not enough I'm afraid.

Nefario, please don't take it wrong, but what about you teach them english as you are supposed to do, instead of forcing them to sell themselves on the web for bitcoins?
|
|
|
|
|
So basically your teacher is having you make some work and earn some money for him!??
Tell him bitcoin is money, it's not an educational toy or something...
