congratulations !

It was a great day for Bitcoin when that video was made, but I think it was an even greater day for Bitcoin when this bounty was paid.  The system works!

Good stuff. I didn't vote (because I did not contribute) - but I believe the video portrayed the message beautifully.

I showed it to my somewhat tech savvy mother, and 3 of my friends, and they all "got it" by the end of the video.

I say this is a job well done. Kudos to the creator of the bounty and the video.

I am surprised that this isn't publicized widely yet.

Me too but it's the kind of thing that could chug along doing nothing for a few days weeks or however long then explode.

Awesome video.

Yep, this is a great video and a major step towards wider adoption (and a corresponding increase in public legitimization), imho.

We are hit heavily with HNers coming to read this announcement.

HNers?

HNers?

Hacker News readers. It's a computer/startup social news that like to visit us every once in a while.

The video is great, actually it's the perfect introduction to bitcoin, and it's what I'm going to show to my friends and family.
