That is all up for discussion.

I like the idea of using the technology to prove that voting/elections can use for validity of results.

has a single female replied to this thread?

It's Summertime and the season for Bikini's
My question would be how the contest would be done
Webcamera photos etc.
Or get as many people in an area to go to one place and make it an annual Bitcoin event
The prize pool is easier a donation address and a ticket address if their is a venue for Bitcoiners to unite and visit

I like the idea though however we need more women who use bitcoin to make this viable

Not really.

You just give the entrants incentive to enter. You can say $10,000 prize winner in bitcoin or fiat.

I'm sure you will see many contestants show up.

Your right it wouldn't matter if the prize was converted to fiat with a Bitcoin claim option available
If there was 10,000 dollar prize people will come probably not worldwide but from fairly far away to try out
Could even make it a bit more to see if they will bite in terms of Bitcoin versus the fiat rate

That said the location still matters and what type of Bitcoin themes / sponsors you could get for the event
Besides the challenges of course besides the traditional bikini contest some fun games to compete in would be nice.

Something like beach volleyball or pool soccer, capture the flag in the water (or two people work together and you go for headbands with 3 needed for the next round) as an elimination game those sort of things.

That's neat but would that mean the winner of that contest was known as Miss Dope
Seems a bit off although I guess the winner here would be Miss Bit (Bitty) as a nick name
Still a cool contest though and a good example that it could be based on

Yes, Miss DopeCoin. Obviously, that was for DopeCoin. But , if people wanted to do something like a Miss Bitcoin that works.

Also, I have the models who wanted to participate still interested and would enter this contest for Miss Bitcoin if we want.

oh noes don't tell PG he might enter.

lol

i like the idea of having different types of competitions to determine the winner and not just looks.

[zimmah]

Well there's a a subreddit that's kind of like a bitcoin bikini contest

only it's not really a contest

and there's not really bikinis either

but there's bitcoin, and girls, and that's what matters, right?

[franky1]

bored now...

smoothie, your right i didnt know you were married. but that why i said GF or hobby.. so that if you had a female in your life, then maybe its a hobby you need.

now back on topic. turning bitcoin conferences into bikini contests are why women dont go to conferences .. too many geeks that visualizing women for their beauty and not their mind.
(research the many threads where the men of bitcoin think there are no female bitcoiners, simply because they dont see them at conferences)
from the other perspective, there are lots of females, but none like to go to conferences due to the males impression of why females are there.

how about spending more time on good bitcoin PR rather then the already male centered industry becoming more male centered

You could undoubtedly come up with all kinds of prize sub-categories as well:

1.) Smoothest looking QR code cheek
or
2.) Hottest girl with ugliest mining rig setup (assuming you can actually find any that mine :p)

[cypherdoc]

for those of you who don't know, the BitPay founders Galippi and Pair, were very involved in bikini magazines before Bitcoin and as they transitioned into BitPay.  they used to use them as click bait in the early days to bootstrap their business.  i for one was always clickin'.

this explains why their booth at conferences are surrounded by babes; they have a ready and willing population of girls who'd probably be thrilled at such a contest.

I think it can start online. The format may be like this...

1. Participants may post their pics online. The highest votes received from verified FB profiles will cut through the second round.

2. Second round will have youtube video posting (may be introduction + a performance). Then again highest votes received from verified FB profiles will cut through the third round.

3. Third round needs to be hosted at some place for final selection of the winners. Judges panel for the final round may be those contributing highest BTC for the whole process (may be top 5).

How to run the online episodes ? We may learn from MTV Roadies.

come to think about it. if the contest was done by voting for the favourite girl using dust amounts of satoshis as votes.

this may be a way to get a few neanderthals to start using bitcoin, instead of just the old geek crowd that usually attends bitcoin events.

but if it is just going to be don, "inhouse" during a pre-booked conference, then the only attendees are those already 'in the know' about bitoins and the whole PR stunt is not about helping expand bitcoin. but simply be some entertainment between geek-talks

something like this should be done at a sex industry conference
where maybe a female model (in agreement of course) will slowly strip down when her QR code displayed address, gets certain value targets hit. EG for very 2btc total received, item of clothing is removed. - then watch all the attendees throw micro payments at her qr code whilst learning how to buy bitcoins and use them for the first time

I vote for a bitopless contest

[bEGPO cNuPTA]

Miss Bitcoin is probably the best btc marketing idea I've heard. Good way to get attention for sure.

[Nerazzura]

I think this may be an interesting way to get people involved with bitcoin.

Not all of the details have been thought out but I figured I would put the idea out there to spark some discussion and thought on the topic.

There could be more than one Bitcoin Bikini Contest.

It could be called the BITKINI CONTEST. 

Anyways I'm interested in other people's thoughts etc.

it's an incredible idea and silly,: p. but if it really exists then for election by doing bets or vote in mintpal and the like. and I want that to be one of the main judge is Mr. satoshi: D
