It is crystal clear in my mind no one a that company has any estimating or forecasting skills at all.

I'm not sure what would make you think that?  Huh

Oh. Ok.

Could you at least make sure the links work when you provide them?

Wow. This is actually their lowest blow.


This may be their lowest, but after this i really really want to see their next move. Any bets?
Didn't you know, they're taking over Laz's refund offering business so they can get paid for refunding people money.

Speaking of moving, bcp19 and I could easier win that bet. You see, they have this trailer currently being used to burn in units...

Here's the plan: Find out where Jimmy hangs out. Enter Bitsie. After a few drinks and laughs, they hook up, if you know what I mean. Prior to Bitsie leaving, she thanks Jimmy for finally accepting bitcoin donations on Wikipedia.

Question: Who's acting as escrow for the escort?

Headline: Wikipedia Finally Accepts Bitcoin Donations

Upon further review, Jimmy...

The bounty will be donated to Sean's Outpost via https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=295211.0 in $1.25 increments for best or funniest submissions. Probably both, for that's how I roll.

As promised, I have a many quarters to bump this thread daily, and I will continue to do such to keep the mind share alive.

It's simply amazing that Sean's Outpost can feed a person for only $1.25.

No qualms with Meni, and maybe he'll consider my blackmail (for lack of a better word) approach.

Austin and Beccy Craig, the Utah based newlyweds are going around the world with the film team on bitcoin.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMsHpaHP9f0

Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks to all who have offered support of every kind for the project. There is a big thank you in the video description. The bitcoin community is awe-inspiring.

Cheers,

This is terrific news! Beccy and Austin have inspired me to take a similar journey only I'm going to use Goldcoins.

Love the videos and awesome vibes!  Smiley Cheesy Grin Cheesy Smiley

First, a quick aside: Who'll be the first to travel the globe only using alt coins/cryptocurrency? Maybe a slightly easier task, though I'm currently only a Bitcoin guy.

Excellent, excellent video presentation.

Seriously, this is top priority, and in no way this issue shouldn't have been fixed already. This is a disservice to everybody who has donated one satoshi or more toward this noble cause.

FIX IT!

Now, I want to supply that piece of barn to have it carried with them around the world to be signed.

Would they like to be on at least one radio show in Chicago when they pass through this way?

Never lose your bitcons to scammers again ever! traders can onter into cryptographic contracts to carry out bitcoin exchanges

Here's my take: If an entity doesn't take the time proofread their copy, honestly, how much time would they take to protect bitcoins entrusted to them. Think about it!

EDIT:

We do not store any money and neither do we store any bitcoins here.

Looks like they don't store bitcoins. Now, only if they can fix the home page so that it doesn't jump and down while I'm trying to read the page. Seriously, I'm turned off by its aesthetics.

go to talk to the mod's of this forum ? Is there a thread?

Why would anybody want to go outta there way to talk to mods? Isn't it bad enough that we allow them to interact with us serfs?  Grin Grin Grin

I challenge anybody to fine a better word than serfs.  Wink

Quote
Serfs who occupied a plot of land were required to work for the Lord of the Manor who owned that land, and in return were entitled to protection, justice and the right to exploit certain fields within the manor to maintain their own subsistence. Serfs were often required not only to work on the lord's fields, but also his mines, forests and roads. The manor formed the basic unit of feudal society and the Lord of the Manor and his serfs were bound legally, economically, and socially. Serfs formed the lowest social class of feudal society.

Lord of the Manor = (I give you three guesses, and the first two don't count)

I vote yes because its the edgy thing to do.

I voted used yes prior to reading the OP. But, upon further review, I have reason to believe that BadBear was texting while driving, hence wanting to change my vote.

Finally, I get to use this image:

“It’s incredible the way people are attracted to live sports, and certainly the NFL is at the top of that,” Mulcahy said. “You know exactly the audience you’re getting. You can figure out the kind of return on investment, because it’s always there.” Citing an independent research study conducted a few years ago, Mulcahy estimated a $4 million investment in the Super Bowl would bring a return of between $11 million and $12 million.

That would equate to an exchange rate of $450 the week after the SB.

I wonder what the average demographics is of the average SB watcher. On par of a NASCAR fan? With 90% of them owning smartphones.
6519  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Super Bowl Commercial for bitcoin? on: September 19, 2013, 09:17:58 AM

$4,444.44 per frame.

Working with that number, sell frames for $5,000 each as in group buy. A website will already be in place to take the orders, all payable via Bitcoin only, and use the same site to showcase each and every frame on a dedicated page. Sure, the ad will suck overall, but imagine the press it will receive, whereupon the website will get mega traffic.

Producing the ad would be at a minimum. The website would have to be topnotch, easy to load and navigate.

I believe there's enough average Joes with a little depth in their pocketbooks that would be wiling to dole out five grand to have their liking on a Super Bowl commercial placed somewhere between a BitPay screenshot and a bottle of Coke/Pepsi. Hell, since the ad will look like shit anyways, those that order would have the option of picking what frame number they want if it's still available.

I'm sure BFL would dole out $5K for such an ad, as well as Satoshi Dice, along with a handful of Bitcoin millionaires for prosperity reasons.

The 5K figure is based on 30 frames per second.

Can anybody provide a link to a video that depicts 30 fps of random images?

I like this idea, makes me wonder if there's enough interest to get something like this done...

The first 25 secords would consist of nothing but all them frames streaming by, with the last 5 seconds consisting only of the words: The previous X (whatever the number will be) frames in this commercial were paid for with BITCOIN.

No company mentioned! Now, tell me how this wouldn't be the most talked about commercial come Monday morning. Gavin would be on Good Morning America.

Here's the important question: Is there still a 30 second slot available?
