We're having a small bitcoin attention and awareness thing at London. There will be people in panda suits and other strange things too. We'll have some "less than appropriate for the weather" girls giving out leaflets from various Bitcoin companies (and bitcoin its self) and we'll be holding signs and those not in strange animal costumes will be wearing Bitcoin t-shirts.

Get involved! If you live in England, say so- is it possible for you to come?

Where: Still being debated(In London)


Buy a bitcoin london t-shirt!

(The more we get, the more we can do, this is almost completely donation funded. (So if we don't get enough for t-shirts, we can't print and give out t-shirts, etc)

So... you want 120 USD an hour to stand around holding a banner?  Seriously?

That sounds a little absurd.
I changed the prices to better suit what it is.

Lol thats still like $20 a hour

hell i live in the US and some of my friends have dressed up in costumes and waved banners for companies around where i live before they only pay like $8-$10/hr max

Idk man, I'm not expecting to be payed for an hour. It's a simple tiny payment to attract attention at a whim, I didn't expect people to buy, I thought it'd be great to just see more unusual things out there.

[Inaba]

I dunno, $20 an hour doesn't seem terribly unreasonable.

[DoubleIcaras]

We'll even give out flyers if that's wanted. Wear a panda suit. (we own a panda suit) whatever~

[Inaba]

If I had something to sell, I would pay you to hand out flyers in a panda suit.

That means a lot to me<3

The panda suit was £400 xD

If you were in a panda suit, and could upload some video of the event i would kick some coin in if you were promoting bitcoin.

It'd be pretty choppy video. (None of us have a decent camera) But we have our profisional photographer friend coming along, so HD photo's.

[DoubleIcaras]

We'd happily have a mini bitcoin rally.

If we got donations we could probably lend out some fuzzy animal suits too.

This could be the start of a great idea!

[Inaba]

I'd kick in a couple coins.

[DoubleIcaras]

Edited the main thread, donate to the event, let's make this something awesome!

[DoubleIcaras]

Okay, i will send 2 BTC but i want a photo of the Panda and the pretty girl holding up a sign saying TyGrr.com and have the bitcoin symbol. You only need to show the sign for the photo as TyGrr.com is not even up yet, just want to use it later. If this gets bigger I might send a couple more coins.

thx

This will be done!

Thanks.

1 BTC sent

Send pictures!

[Inaba]

Just sent 5 BTC on behalf of myself and EMC.  Pics of the scantily glad girls are welcome   Oh yeah, and that bitcoin thing, too. 

[sethsethseth]

When are you doing this?  I'm in Central.  We really need to get some shop to accept bitcoin around here

[damnek]

And where will this take place?

Small donation sent.

The location is being debated right now, we want to achieve the following.

1) Be in an area where people might GENUINELY be interested. (Go in stores, hand out leaflets)
2) Not be 'moved along'
3) A place that is convenient to meet at.

Right now we need to sort out funding the event and we'll see what we can do.

If that was a subtle anti-Wales joke.....nice job
