Meet and Greet Tatiana Moroz and Jordan Paige in the bitcoin booth!

We are sold out of Casascius coins.  I need to bring more tomorrow.  Magazines and BeesBros are selling well also.

I'm just thinking it's hard to know we have actual Bitcoin reps there standing by  

Don't worry, we've got 3 of the bitcoin polo shirts from CryptoAnarchy.us that we will be wearing tomorrow and Sunday. We've also got Alison's sister in the booth.  There won't be any doubt that bitcoin is here.

wait a minute!  hold on right there!  Alison has a sister?  OMG

Team Bitcoin!  Stephen, Heather, and Tony promoting Bitcoin at Paul Fest





Vette's for Ron Paul!



We sold a bunch of the Casascius bitcoins today and we were accepting credit cards in the booth.  We sold out!  I will have to bring more tomorrow.

The samples from BitPantry and BeeBros were big hits!  

We met some of the RNC Delegates from Oklahoma and Louisiana.  The big C-SPAN bus was there today also.

And incase you are wondering, YES - Heather has a blockchain wallet on her iphone, she has a BitFloor account, and we paid her in bitcoins today and she knows how to use them!

Tomorrow's schedule includes Peter Schiff and Adam Kokesh.  Should be another great day!

And so far during 2 days of Paul Fest, our Butterfly Labs FPGA single has mined 0.4 bitcoins while at the event.

That's probably not the best way to promote bitcoin right now.

That's probably not the best way to promote bitcoin right now. 

Why not?  I'd say about 20% of the people coming into our booth were interested in the mining aspect of bitcoin.  They understand that this is the heart of how the distributed architecture of bitcoin actually works.

I'm just trying to put myself in the shoes of the unknowing bystander, and well "I've earned 4 bucks using this 1000 dollar gadget" isn't that good of an argument.
No need to become defensive... I appreciate your efforts, but just like to play devils advocate once in a while

4 x 365 = 1460

1460 - 1000 = 460

keep on dreaming
But luckily most people know about moores law, you might fool them. (that's not nice though)

But one thing people: Ignore my post I don't wanna derail this thread

the FPGA single we have in the booth is $599.  It is this model listed here on the left:

it makes about 0.35-0.40 bitcoins per 24 hour period, out of the box with no modifications.

Heather has a blockchain wallet on her iphone

Apple is not amused.

I think they should sue everyone who install things they don't want on their iphone!

hehe, they thought about that but received the US banhammer not long after trying and failing to sue the guy who programmed the orginal jailbreak.

The blockchain wallet is in the Apple App Store now with full send and receive bitcoin functionality. There is no need to jailbreak the phone.

We have helped at least a dozen bitcoin newbies install this App so far this weekend.   And let them buy their first bitcoins.

Hey Bitcoin is great but lets not forget the point here: Ron Paul.  Thanks to all bitcoiners down there at the rally for supporting Ron Paul and having a hope for the future of the USA!

I've never seen so many USans stand for a politician before.  Never seen tens of thousands turning out to see a politician, nor a polititician who continuously demonstrates a factor of 10 more interest than any others in polls, search trends, and turnout at rallys at speeches.  Take a look at all the professionally done animations and support videos for Ron Paul by citizens on their own dime.  There are several pretty decent rap songs about this guy.  Even video games.  I'm not old enough to remember JFK but I think this outpouring of support and love is the biggest seen by any politician perhaps in the history of the nation.       

Has there ever been this kind of support from the populace for any DC politician?  How will these RP folks feel about paying taxes and supporting DC when Dr. Paul is gone?  What do people turn to when hope to save the system from the inside dies?
