First mentioned here on my bounty thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=433842.msg4763286#msg4763286Before I pen more about the subject at hand, have you read the rumor that somebody is still seeking a fellow Bitcoiner that's attending Super Bowl XLVIII to wave a banner I he had designed, then printed, inside MetLife Stadium during the game so that FOX Sports can capture the event, live, to be seen by their 100M+ viewers?Although there's not an official name for this race yet (suggestions?), the goal is to have several dozen flags (bounty in place to garner designs) in the hands of seasoned mountain climbers who are planning to ascend Mount Everest this summer, 2014 (maybe this'll become a yearly event).
Once a domain name is procured, based on the name of the race, I'll have Rassah (he loves me) act as escrow to secure the bitcoin donations to be paid out to the first climber who completes the task, viz. document the planting of the sponsored Bitcoin-themed flag atop Mount Everest.
Ideally, the
B2ME Prize (just brainstormin') should be over $1,000 USD to make it worth their wild, of which would offset the high cost they have to dole out to climb Mount Everest regardless if there's a possible prize to be won or not. I remember reading that required insurance is $10K USD, or more, alone
More info forthcoming, but meanwhile please express your support or otherwise by posting in this thread.
