[Zooey]

Great quality live audio stream being broadcast by a lone champion via his smartphone at btclondon:

This man deserves respect for making an effort for the community to compensate for a badly dropped ball by the organisers.  We're trying to promote Bitcoin are we not?

Many thanks!

Great work. Hold the phone up a bit though would you?

Our sole crusader was last seen upholding the principals of free, open reporting (and the right of batteries to long-life) in a btclondon crowd near you...

Can you elaborate on this ball dropping thing for those of us who don't kep F5ing any old conference?

The missed opportunity to live stream this event.

The missed opportunity to live stream this event.

I thought it's a Crazy Fin type invitation-only event. You know, to make it seem exclusive and to reinforce the cargo cult behaviour among coiners. Of course they wont stream it.

Such a position would be highly controversial and contrary to so much that this line of argument does need any evangelising from me.

Haha, just doing my bit for the fellow bitcoiner unable to make it to the event.

I decided to stick with audio only and just had my phone on my lap, was behind a few people and the stage wasn't raised so all I (and thus my phone) could see was the backs of heads ;-)

My phone cut out a couple times. Every time I got a phone call ustream would stop, also had some connectivity issues.

There were professional film crews filming the whole thing and I hear they plan to upload those, so definitely worth looking for those when they appear :-)

Event was awesome though, met loads of top notch people, well worth the trip. Here's a photo of me with a few of the Bitcoin greats (I'm third from the left) http://twitter.com/Azelphur/status/352167414965891072/photo/1
