Update, week 1:

- 42 press contacts
- 13 countries
- 10 languages

Keep it coming!

This is definitely looking more like a world press center every day.

No Hindi speakers have been nominated yet.

There is a big gap in Indian bitcoin experts on the bitcoinpresscenter.org.

Please nominate people you have read in interviews, heard on radio or seen on Indian TV as bitcoin experts!

We need Hindi speakers!

To help: Go to bitcoinpresscenter.org, register an account, then "Add Contact" and nominate someone else, or yourself.

Franky,

1) There is a filter on the left for language, country and timezone. They are cumulative filters so you can narrow down to exactly the right person even if there are thousands. So if you want a Finnish speaking, bitcoin miner with development experience who lives in Poland, you can find exactly that.

2) I would welcome any help to spread the word and add materials. I'm planning on breaking out the "citations" into a separate section where all bitcoin mentions and articles can be submitted and rated.

You can send me donation stroopwafels to my home address in the USA.

I cannot find them here, otherwise I would be very very fat.

Done!

Added Portuguese.

Alex got the CSS done sooner than expected and it is not live. The header and footer shrunk by 2/3rds and various little CSS issues fixed. Also a new 'hint" icon points to the filters so that people see them and use them.

With that last change, the site is now officially launched and I will switch focus to making it as rich and detailed as possible..

Keep nominating good press contacts. See an interview you like? Add that person!

Thanks to those who nominated press contacts getting us to 30 contacts and 8 languages. There are more than a dozen more records to add over the weekend.

Thanks also to all for the great suggestions, bug reports and feedback.

The bitcoin press center is a list of bitcoin experts, organized for the global media and press.

We need volunteers to be listed as contacts for interviews in Greek for radio, TV and print.

If you are interested, please register on bitcoinpresscenter.org, click "Add Contact" and add yourself, or someone you think will make a great contact for Greek-language press.

The more qualified people we add, the more great articles and interviews we will see.

Thanks!

πατρίίίίίίίίδααααααααα!

This is a request to add a listing on the site.

Journalists may find this listing and ask you for interviews. If they ask you, you can choose to say yes or no.

That's all this is. The site is run by volunteers and paid for by donations  (well, my pocket for now).

Yes, I've asked the designer to cut the size of both header and footer, shrink the logo and graphics and make the main content more prominent.

I will upload a new set of CSS changes tomorrow morning, or very late tonight. My designer is in the Ukraine, I'm in San Francisco, so we have almost perfect around-the-clock handoffs.

No they do not need to speak English - this is a global press site. They can check whichever languages they speak and will be found by journalists interested in that language

I need native Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese speakers.

The design is by bitcointalk user 75RTUGA.

This is one of 24 designs submitted and released to the public (CC-BY-SA) through a bounty. They are all available for free at openpaperwallet on github.

Just wait (Wednesday next week) till you see this printed on heavy, textured paper using linotype process and brilliant inks. It will be STUNNING.

This is for journalists to find people to interview for print, radio and TV.

Each contact can list expertise in business, hardware, software, economice, cryptography etc. We need experts in many areas.

See bitcoinpresscenter.org for examples of existing contacts.

Mike, I am a fan of.. YOU. Your business is a shinning example in the bitcoin universe and your integrity is legendary!

I will be launching 3 more designs with the next print order, once I have the basic product features fully tested with customers.

Thank you so much for all you have done, and for commenting on my little project ;-)

SOLD OUT in 4 days. Thank you!

New orders will be accepted on May 19th, with the official launch.

Thanks to all the customers who pre-ordered the SafePaperWallet kits.

Pre-Orders are now SOLD OUT, in just 4 days.

Orders re-open on May 19th with our new site, product pictures and different kit-size options.

It is a nice shop and merchandise, but you do not take bitcoin payments?

OpenBitcoinStore.com allows you to open a store that takes BITCOIN payments. The store and hosting are free.

Update:

24 press contacts from 8 countries, speaking 9 languages.

and growing fast!

Apparently Google Translate made a mess of my message.

Since you all speak at least 4 languages (as I remember from visiting Holland 8 times!), I will ask in English.

I am a volunteer and i manage the bitcoinpresscenter.org site. This is a site for journalists (print, radio, TV) to find bitcoin experts who speak their language and can offer expert opinion for interviews.

It is built as an alternative to the bitcoin.org Press page that is static and only has 8 people (all English speakers).

I want to feature 500-1000 local bitcoin experts, so that journalist can find *exactly* the right person for an interview.

I need many many Dutch experts: users, miners, developers, business people, investment experts, economists, media experts.

Anyone can list, just register an account on bitcoinpresscenter.org and add someone you think is a good media contact. If you want, add yourself, that is ok!

For now, add in English. Later I will turn on the multilingual options and I will need help for translations in Dutch of the various press contacts.

Any help is appreciated.

Congratulations on your new king! I previously visited twice during Queen's birthday. It was fun (a bit crazy, but I was young!)

If you want to help, please go to bitcoinpresscenter.org, create an account and add a new press contact. Nominate someone who does good interviews (including yourself if you like).

Thank you!
