Watch the entire game, and call in happy. Work will understand.
I guess most people in Europe haven't even heard of this 'Super Bowl'. Told my gf, - she had no clue what it is. Doubt my mum would know either.  I wunder why that is.  |

Thanks, Bitcoinwunder. You da man! BTW, all, Bitcoinwunder is the one that created the graphic, placing all the design elements in place via my instructions without a hitch. He's a good guy, to boot.
Well I hope you guys are successful, even if this is a nuts idea. I'll be watching as much as I can of the superbowl to see if I can spot it, but it doesn't finish till 3AM over here and I have work in the morning  . Watch the entire game, and call in happy. Work will understand. BTW, bringing a nuts idea to fruition is better than letting a brilliant idea sit idle. ~TMI BTCITW |

He's a good guy, to boot.  A couple other aspects explained pertaining the banner above. The first line "THE FACE OF SUPER BOWL XLVIII" corresponds with the helmet/mask in the center of the graphic design. Also, "VIRES IN NUMERIS" can easily represent the 11 players of a team on the gridiron at any given time during plays. ~TMI BTCITW |

Hey, Spinner, not being an ass here (seriously), but this thread does needs to be in Project Development, of which you're capable of moving yourself.
Good luck with your endeavor, bud.

Thank you for the heads up. Bump, to say no prob, bud. |

Hope that the banner is out of fabric, so the banner-guy can stuff it under his clothes. Otherwise security might take it away. Which would suck hard. edit: Date Registered:June 15, 2011, 01:34:08 AM Epic Banner Waver Guy's credibility is proven. A real bitcoiner. All good! I only read less than six posts my him and was convinced, not wasting my time to Google-fu. Due to time, the banner had to made using vinyl. I'm sure two layers, grommeted together, measuring 3' X 4' each, can easily be folded and hidden under several layers of clothing donned by one of our guy's confederates. If not, anybody here have a backup plan?  ~TMI BTCITW |

Phinnaeus, we really needs to make sure this get's on twitter if we have a picture of it from far away in the crowd (or better: a video!). Tag @Overstock and hope for a retweet. That would be immense.
But even if that wouldn't happen I can imagine that some reporter picks it up and it get's added in some reports, as a side comment on how the Bitcoin community supports each other or when they talk about how Overstock recently adopted Bitcoin, and how they gained lots of new customers/supporters by doing so: This is a prime example!
500$, everyone. This is how much this man spend on this. We should all support this. (Better late, then never, eh? (Re: 5 threads dedicated to come up with the idea))
Actually, that's Part B of the plan, predicated on what images can be gleaned from the live broadcast. Tweets with @Overstock and/or #Overstock would only be a part of the follow-up campaign I have instored for this particular endeavor. If all goes according to plan, that'll be that much more oomph I'll have in my court for the Great Flag Race to atop Mount Everest this summer--with or without Dogecoin. I'm sure our friends over at Let's Talk Bitcoin or Bitcoin Magazine (online version, at least), among others, will pick it up first by Monday morning, whereupon those mainstream entities having RSS feeds from them will use it as fodder for their growing Bitcoin audience. Hopefully, I won't have to hunt something formal to wear if I'm invited on Good Morning America to sit next to Richard Sherman. Now, who's in charge of embedding a kickoff countdown clock in some subsequent post on this thread? Mongo want clock, or he become . ~TMI BTCITW |

Even Litecoin is a scam
I would remind you many people to this day think Bitcoin is a scam. At some point though that probably doesn't matter. I think Bitcoin has reached that point, and so has Litecoin. At least Bitcoin doesn't have dozens of security, reseller, and bitcoin miner hosting outfits all attached to some vaporware bitcoin miner hardware supplier backed by a myriad of pseudonyms, each vetting each other. Oh, wait! Let me try this: At least Bitcoin doesn't have... ~TMI BTCITW Great post, there PG! I LOVE IT! My $.02.  <I edited the original post> Actually, it would be fuckin' funny if it weren't true. Then again... |

Oh the horror of it all.
Actually, when it comes to data mining, some folks are seduced by the glamour of it all.  |

Dude, that's where I draw the line! No way in he... Nevermind! I thought wrote Bitecoin. Back to reader before the big game starts at 5:30 PM on FOX.  |

The parasitic day traders are always around the alt coin scene.
Then there are those who use alt coins to "mine bitcoins" because mining bitcoin directly isn't easy anymore.
Then there are those who feel alt coins are a good testing ground for future bitcoin features.
None of this amounts to a hill of beans for the success of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin will succeed. Its past the point of speculation in that regard.
You think the day traders are bad, wait till you learnt about those selling securities.  Now where the fuck did that image come from? Damn, there's some strange shit happening on this forum. ~TMI BTCITW |

This thread was inspired by another having a similar title. We seriously should tax all miners to save the planet. Do you realize how much resources, e.g. silicon sand and water, it takes to build bitcoin miners, not to mention the extraction from the Earth for all those resistors, capacitors and diodes, possibly from third world countries exploiting the poor with its cheap labor. Please help save the planet by supporting this noble idea. Discuss. ~TMI BTCITW  Skrojii hits the motherlode! Earns 0.00000019 BTC a day. |

When the Bitcoiner collects the banner could we have a picture of it before you go to the super bowl?
Good idea, bud! I should've thought about this earlier. You DID think about this earlier: I sent him a PM telling him that this thread's a buzzin' with people asking for a pic of the banner prior to heading out to the field, ergo somebodys please ask for a pic otherwise I may be viewed as a liar. Hence the wink! I PM'ed CC first, telling him that people where asking about pics, then came here requesting from bitcoiners to ask such hoping he doesn't connect the timestamps of the PM and posts on this thread. Chalk it up to weird humor, bud. ~TMI BTCITW |

I just checked with the front desk and the banner is in house waiting to be picked up. I will post a pic in the next hour or so after I have a chance to go grab it.
That's great, CC! We look forward to seeing the final results for the first time. ~TMI BTCITW |

Hi.
Maybe im completely clueless, but consider me a litmus test for "the general public".
Looking at the banner you posted on Page 1 of this thread leaves me scratching my head.
How does this promote Bitcoin?
If I was my 52 year old Aunt, I would see that banner and it would make absolutely no sense to me. At least as far as the "B" in the middle.
The QR code is blocked by a helmet so its not usable to send money to right?
The text above and below it ... shutting down peyton manning - makes no sense to me either.
Seems like a fail on numerous levels as far as doing *anything* to promote Bitcoin.
Could have done something way more creative / interesting / fun with a Bitcoin banner at the superbowl.
Something that people with zero Bitcoin awareness would react to.
For example: The college kid saying "Hey Mom send money" <--- brilliant.
This banner? Makes no sense to me.
I guess having five threads dedicated to garnering design elements for this epic banner wasn't enough. For those wondering WFT this banner represents besides just filling a quest to get anything Bitcoin related broadcast during the Super Bowl for the first time without having to pay millions of dollars for advertising, I present the following: Where the QR-Code and Google tiny URL link to: http://www.overstock.com/search?keywords=seattle+seahawks&SearchType=HeaderThis is why: http://www.coindesk.com/overstock-ceo-holds-millions-bitcoin/Why did I select Richard Sherman?: https://www.facebook.com/RichardShermanFanPage/posts/1444165912468032?stream_ref=10Why was the top line used?: http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/story/0ap2000000317035/article/richard-sherman-perfect-as-the-face-of-super-bowl-xlviiiWhy was "Shut Down" incorporated (one example of many): http://www.mercurynews.com/sports/ci_25008892/richard-sherman-and-great-trash-talk-debate“I am not saying I am going to 'shut him up,' but I am going to go out and try to make some plays so I don't have anybody coming up to me saying I got shut down by Sherman,” said Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas. And why this: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/richard-sherman-beats-tom-brady-taunts-pats-u-104646336--nfl.htmlRichard Sherman beats Tom Brady; taunts the Pats with ‘U MAD BRO?’ after the game On to the other symbolisms/elements incorporated, mainly gleaned from http://store.richardsherman25.com/ Richard Sherman's iconic phrase.  Inspiring the overall color scheme. Note the bleeding aspect, of which was cleverly incorporated into the banner design.  Associated mainly with Richard Sherman.  Look familiar? I even incorporated RS' logo: http://www.amazon.com/Richard-Sherman-Seattle-Seahawks-Hoodie/dp/B00HES1G0Y Ergo, a lot of thought went into the final design, and hope the above illustrates that thought process. Finally, Google search images with [richard sherman xlviii banner] (no brackets) and see what's number one. ~TMI BTCITW |

Well, a big "f*ck you" to Hashfast for figuring out another way to screw batch-1 customers even more. They shouldn't be doing anything at all with subsequent batches before honoring all commitments to batch-1, like the damn MPP that got us all to buy from them and fund the operation in the first place. The same MPP that they now refuse to give any shipment-timeframe information about.
I think we all lost. I paid 22 BTC for a miner that's going to return me 3.3 BTC. Equating to 0.15 NROI. To paraphrase the late Bob Stupak: You'll lose on every order, but'll make it up on volume.  |
