[ANN] FIRST Feature-length Documentary on Bitcoin, 100% BITCOIN FUNDED!

[DeeSome]

Ask Max Keiser to appear, he's been pushing Bitcoin on his RT show and reckons he is already a BTC millionaire. Maybe even good for a sizeable donation.

@ Bruno:

When we stayed over at Bratislava on Alex Breadman's invitation (he also organises this year's other big Bitcoin Conference), I was introduced to his charity program that he runs together with his fiancé and a friend; its called BitcoinTablet and is based on an interesting idea. Basically they want to raise funds (Bitcoins) in order to ship tablets for the lowest prices available at no additional costs to schools and rural communities in Africa. The twist is that these tablets run on solar power and can communicate with one another and with the internet through a meshnet from device to device. That way no additional infrastructure is neccessary and only one device connected to the internet enables all of them to take part in the global community. Oh yeah, and as a bonus Bitcoin Clients are already pre installed;)

Its still in early stage but they will receive the first batch of tablets next month and have already arranged some schools in central Africa to ship to.

Have a look and if you like it, pls consider to support them!

Cheers,
JR

This sounds like something I would be interested in buying. Wonder if they are for sale for others?

love this Johannes!  would be great to be involved somehow.  kann Deutsch sprechen und wohne in Kanada, bruder wohnt in Asien und spricht Mandarin, freund in Kanada (auch Deutsch) hat film in der Uni studiert...

Hi thx buddha!

Im sure we an work something out!
Where exactly are you located? Others have also pledged their support and have even offered to conduct interviews for us over in the US. Maybe you guys could join forces on the right occasion. Do you have any skills that you could help us with?

Well, since I am in Taiwan at the moment, for now I could offer to interview someone involved with Bitcoin over here.  I haven't looked into the possible existence of any 'players' in Taiwan but if you know of any bitcoin action occurring here it would be fun to go and film an interview with them.  I have time on my hands so it's no problem.

I'm a short flight away from Tokyo, but I'm guessing you'll probably make it over there yourself at some point.

UPDATE: David Birch confirmed for interview in London.

He is financial consultant, author of more then a hundred columns for the Guardian and a book about Digital Identity Management as well as director of Consult Hyperion, a specialist electronic transactions consulting firm that advises governments and large companies on electronic identity and electronic money. He is also outspoken critic of Bitcoin and has offered his perspective on the young currency in the past, for example in this enlightening speech during the Prague Conferece 2011:

UPDATE: New Assignment!

- SENT US SATOSHI NAKAMOTO! (open for public, receiving submissions)

We will talk about Bitcoin's mysterious creator and maybe visit some of his early peers to tell his story (or what we know about it). For that, we'll need a lot of cut away footage from him. If you have any ideas on how to portait him take a camera and start to film!

We need footage of him basically being himself in any way you see him: sitting in a sushi bar, using the subway, sitting in front of his screen, devicing Bitcoin, being a NSA spy, earning a shit ton of money,..

Any scenes that you can imagine we can use. In this case its not even important to record superb sound because we will most likely lay music over it or to use a good camera because those "memories" will fall out of the standard look of the movie anyway.

This is your chance to make yourself an idol of Satoshi Cyber Christ™. Please post or send us your ideas and footage and we can put you in the credits for ever lasting fame!

Are there plans to have interviews with silk road vendors or just darknet figures in general? Huge part of bitcoin I bet is being ignored.

Are there plans to have interviews with silk road vendors or just darknet figures in general? Huge part of bitcoin I bet is being ignored.

Yes, we will! This is a very important aspect that we wont leave aside. Because it is a bit delicate to talk about details rigth now, only so much: Expect both parties of the legal spectrum to be on the movie!

Have a look at Trace and Gabe talking about how Silk Road contributes to a more peaceful world;)

UPDATE: Musical artist Seven7hwave has agreed on a collaboration with our movie and has pledged a couple of songs (some currently under review)!

UPDATE: LadyBytes agreed for interview, need help to figure out TOR+VoIP set up


Hi everybody,

Famous Reddit model LadyBytes best known for her appearance on reddit's notorious /r/GirlsGoneBitcoin (NSFW!) sub reddit has agreed for an interview. She insists to keep her identity a mystery and to hold the interview via TOR. I did some research and it seems possible to have a decent Skype call or similar with this set up. I am not tech savvy enough to figure out how, though (Im just the Director ).

So please help prepare the stage for Bitcoin's most famous/notorious woman and let her tell her story: LadyBytes.

- What software is the most suitable to perform this?

- What needs to be set up in the menus?

- How can we assure a good sound and picture quality?

- What else needs to be taken care of?


Thx for your support, the full interview will be made available to donors (unless LadayBytes objects)!

There is an MS-20 in the OP. MUST SEE
