Yes, I spoke on the behalf of the conference. I hope you don't mind considering this man's presence there, edd. I apologize in advance if this is not in your will. He has quite a circle with minds that are similar to this community's. A larger gathering brought in from Mr. Woods could only be a gain. Anyways, the comment/email:

Hello Mr. Woods,

The main thing that is hindering individual liberty in our world today is our centralized monetary system. This might be debatable but it is unquestionable that who controls our money can hardly be phased by the force that it funds. Our community has fostered an innovation that challenges it's very core; it brings the means of monetary distribution down to the individual. It's called Bitcoin and it's based on sound principles of liberty. If it is in your interest, I ask you to consider this innovation in your thoughts. We are hosting a Bitcoin conference in March and we would love to consider you as a paid (or otherwise) speaker and proponent of the innovation. I will restate with a good faith belief that this can revolutionize our world. I can't explain this technology soundly in a brief email. The best I can do is direct to http://bitcoin.org and recommend that you read the Satoshi paper and about the key principles of the currency. I am certain you will not be disappointed. Respond to me at my personal email if you are interested in speaking at our conference or if you would wish to share your thoughts about Bitcoin in general. My friends on the community would love to hear what you have to say.

Thank you,

Harvey

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

Great! He could bring copies of his books for sale at the convention. In fact, that would be a great way for him to get paid--a pledge to buy at least 100 of his books at the convention. Or we can pre-order, paid in full, and we pick them up at the convention, signed by the author. Hmmm!

Find us another author, Harv. I like this idea!

  very interesting gentalman here. I had never heard of him until this posting. Checking this out now; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5oAFGd88nY

If you're not excited by the idea of being an early adopter 'now', then you should come back in three or four years and either tell us "Told you it'd never work!" or join what should, by then, be a much more stable and easier-to-use system.

Good thinking! If he responds, I'll definitely discuss this with him.

It would surprise me if he hasn't heard of bitcoins already.  A bitcoin conference seems like exactly the sort of venue he'd speak at.

BTC accepted at my browser-based MMO, Minethings.com.  ~1500 active players mining now.
