Confirmed. I actually agree that it was a non issue you controlling the bounty as no one else stepped forward. I will give the username and password to both bytemaster and kiba. I guess mybitcoin also has a copy as its on their server....  Does anyone have a problem with that ? |

Kiba probably wouldn't throw away his whole reputation, but as long as the reputation hit is shared 3 or 4 ways it might be attractive. |

I don't agree. Even if bytemaster has shown himself as not a scammer eventually, he shouldn't have any control over the bounty. He isn't known for anything good but very well known as the money seizer. On the other hand, kiba and noagendamarket did a lot to promote bitcoin so they definitely should dispose of the money. |

I can understand everyone being cautious, but I was never a money 'seizer' as you claim. I started the bounty, purchased BTC to back my bounty, and took only 100 BTC of escrow from others before I 'disappeared' for the first time (due to lack of progress and a busy life). The fact that BTC jumped up in $US value and that a 8499BTC donation was made should not give me bad marks.
The only thing I care about is that, as the individual whom started this bounty, I get a significant voice in who gets the award.
In general I think it would be wise to make personal contact with someone before sending them large amounts of BTC. If I had been run over by a bus then there would be no 'mal-intent', yet many here would immediately attribute 'mal-intent'.
I want a bitcoin-like solution to succeed. So I would appreciate the benefit of the doubt. Clearly, I would not hand over $1500-$2000 if I were a scammer!
Thanks for your support noagendamarket.
As an aside, if you demonize someone who has not violated any "agreements" then you have already damaged their reputation and you increase the likelihood of that individual saying "screw it" and just taking the money because people tend to live up to your expectations. On the other hand, if you defend someone like noagendamarket has then you motivate them to 'live up to' the good expectations. I encourage everyone to exercise caution when giving money to someone and restraint in judging someone until there is proof that they did not live up to what they agreed to do.
Until someone stepped forward to claim the bounty the most that could be said about my 'character' is that I am non-responsive.
Noagenda, if you wish to 'remove' me from the access list then I would be OK with that. Clearly, my reputation (wether deserved or not) is only doing harm to the cause.

Well he initiated this bounty. That's good. And he hasn't seized the money. That's good. So as far as I'm concerned he's not disqualified in any way. |

Hey bytemaster, I concur that you should retain some rights as initiator of the bounty. We could get kiba and you on committee to judge "best" or "best of" for the bounty. Grab a quorum of long time forum guys to judge and set a time limit (say 30 days), then we all vote if no one else steps forward. If it does turn out to be a competition, then voting could eliminate contenders or split the prize accordingly.
I myself do flash and would like to make small clips based on the adventures of bitcoin & 2b(2 bit). Just to add fun and profit to my resume.
I don't think an all-inclusive video (45 min or less) can capture the economic/social/technical ramifications of bitcoin just yet. We should concentrate on the pre-existing script here or break it down into smaller projects - ie. blurbs, commercials, infomercials, and documentaries.
Just a thought...

I sent follow-up email to cyriak to see if he is interested in this video opportunity yet. I still haven't received any word back from him since my original contact attempts.

If all pledgers are still pledging after all this time then the bounty is now worth $4000. Maybe instead of waiting for someone to do it we could start thinking about hiring a professional.

A professional animation similar to http://commoncraft.com would cost upwards of $30 000 I spoke to one of their reps awhile ago about this project. |

I heard that FreeRange Studios are a little bit more accesible. They have an annual contest were the viewers get to choose the project of their liking that is going to recieve 100K dollars value of their service as rewards. They worked on The story of Cap and Trade and The Story of Stuff. They could like this proposition. |

Mine still is. As far as I know, no one has won. |
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'
