Thanks, Bitcoinwunder. You da man! BTW, all, Bitcoinwunder is the one that created the graphic, placing all the design elements in place via my instructions without a hitch. He's a good guy, to boot.



A couple other aspects explained pertaining the banner above.

The first line "THE FACE OF SUPER BOWL XLVIII" corresponds with the helmet/mask in the center of the graphic design. Also, "VIRES IN NUMERIS" can easily represent the 11 players of a team on the gridiron at any given time during plays.

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

Well I hope you guys are successful, even if this is a nuts idea. I'll be watching as much as I can of the superbowl to see if I can spot it, but it doesn't finish till 3AM over here and I have work in the morning  Cry.

Watch the entire game, and call in happy. Work will understand.

BTW, bringing a nuts idea to fruition is better than letting a brilliant idea sit idle.

I guess most people in Europe haven't even heard of this 'Super Bowl'. Told my gf, - she had no clue what it is. Doubt my mum would know either. Cheesy

I told her it's something like the final match of the UEFA Champions League. The most important American Football game. But I'm not even sure if that's entirely correct, tbh.

I'll assume that's code for you like it. Before Bitcoin, I was a master tweeterer, quitting at 18239 tweets.  Grin

Possibly, but it could also be code for, it has the flu.

I could tell you the truth but then I'd have to kill you and you're too "sick" of a guy to kill.

Tell him to check with other people coming in for seat position and if they're Seahawks fans, so they can try to get it in.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Sad story. Guess they confiscated it, so it's a dead end. Nobody else can pick it up.

Too late, for he's already inside, probably unable to exit out, then back in again. Status of banner is unknown.

If only I were able to speak with the security guard, there may have been a chance that he would have let them pass with banner in hand, for I've used this secret weapon twice already: Once with Kinkos, after being told that it'll be impossible to produce and deliver the banner, for they were extremely busy, then again at the front desk of the Waldorf when told that they had a policy that no packages are accepted for guests not listed as registered at their hotel. On both occasions, they changed their tune, bending over backwards to accommodate me after I unleashed this secret weapon on them.

SO SAD!

Hope that the banner is out of fabric, so the banner-guy can stuff it under his clothes. Otherwise security might take it away. Which would suck hard.

Epic Banner Waver Guy's credibility is proven. A real bitcoiner. All good!

I only read less than six posts my him and was convinced, not wasting my time to Google-fu.

Due to time, the banner had to made using vinyl. I'm sure two layers, grommeted together, measuring 3' X 4' each, can easily be folded and hidden under several layers of clothing donned by one of our guy's confederates. If not, anybody here have a backup plan?  Undecided

Don't they do full body checks at the entry ways, nowadays?
