[LightRider]

Really good job with the Weusecoins video guys, really excellent work.

Did Satoshi ever give his OK? It seems that the community has more or less accepted this?

Satoshi did not communicate, so we substitute him with Gavin.

So what was the final outcome? Cause the thread title still says 13622 and growing... I'm confused.

Sweet! I'm only asking cause apparently I pledged on page 2, but I didn't visit the forums in a long time and I was never PMed about it.

It doesn't look like I already sent the 50, so, where do I send it?

Sent away! I didn't think 50 BTCs would be worth as much as they are now ... I should have loaded up back then

Thanks! The logo is just based on the name and the name was a nickname I randomly picked when I was 11 years old or so. Hope you're not disappointed at the total lack of a deeper meaning.

[ChupacabraHunter]

Wow! This is really amazing and I know what I'm talking about as I edit videos. What software did you use for this? Adobe Aftereffects?

Yes, Adobe After Effects CS4 I believe.

In other news we've just submitted the video to http://www.webcuts.org/2011/ . It was free to submit so why not.

If any of you come across any contests, awards or film festivals with an animation/motion graphics category, let us know and we'll try and get it in. I don't know how high the chances are since the video is kind of a commercial, but hey Bitcoin is open-source and this is all indie stuff plus we've got nothing to lose in submitting it.

I have to agree here also!   I am new to this forum but not new to teaching the world around me about geeky developments that may interest the 'masses'... I have been having HUGE difficulty convincing/introducing people to Bitcoin.  Non-technical, and non-conspriatorial minded ones.  The few that are curious, got lost or hung up on the issue of it being created by "anybody"

I like the other description (which is much more correct) about all bitcoins having been created when the first block chain was generated by the protocol... but the word "protocol" also looses 99% of "normal" people.  So please, let's try and find a really snazzy and easy-to-understand way of communicating this.

I think we need to link it to some aspects of the computer world that the general public understands.  Things like Google, and Facebook... but alas, I have not got a good idea (yet) for how to do it.

Please help me (us)

Count me in as I'm doing a film making degree @ uni atm.If the bounty hasn't already been claimed then sign me up.Can some1 PM me the brief and format I should make it in (HD,web friendly e.t.c) plz?

[theymos]

The remaining part of my bounty is canceled. The value is way too high now.

[MoonShadow]

I'm canceling mine as well, in part because one of my conditions was approval of accuracy from Sataoshi, which now seems unobtainable.

[film2240]

So this project is pretty much now cancelled then? It was a promising project as well.

Once again, amazing work with the weusecoins.com video guys.

Happy birthday us! 

Thanks everyone for making this possible! A lot of people have asked about a followup - right now I'm very busy and I can't promise anything, but WUC was certainly an awesome experience and I'd love to build on it in some form in the future.

One thing I can promise is that there is a (much needed) website relaunch incoming! If you have any comments or suggestions for that, please email them to info@weusecoins.com.
