Just thought I'll share with you what Bitcoin 100 would expect if you accepted our offer.

Source:  http://bitcointhedocumentary.org/wordpress/?page_id=32

PRIORITY AD SPACE ON SITE: Just one clickable link would suffice.

OWN LOGO ON FRONT PAGE: Not important, but may take you up on the offer.

HALL OF FAME: Not sure what this curtails, but probably won't need it.

THANK-YOU DVD & FULL MOVIE: We'll pass on this, opting to pay for it.

LOGO IN DVD-BOOKLET: Might be interested in this, but no big deal.

MENTION IN CREDITS: Text only will be fine.

SPECIAL THANKS IN CREDITS: Again, text only will be fine.

MENTION BY DIRECTOR IN EVERY INTERVIEW: Only if you wish, but won't be offended if you don't, even if it's the majority of the time.

You can even leave us out of the contest, thus distributing prizes to any of the other donators. I'm not sure if this was ever a concern on your part while thinking about accepting our challenge.

Unless I'm mistaken, I'm the only one offering to donate $10K-$20K USD through Bitcoin 100, in essence surpassing your initial goal of $13K USD.

Once you say the word GO, I'll even start and man a thread to help you reach the ten non-profits goal within 90 days max.

Hi Bruno,


Since your cause has donated ~14 BTC so far you guys float between the 10 BTC ('Wood Sponsor') and 25 BTC ('Gold Sponsor') mark, which means you should at least have all the privieges a Wood Sponsor would get plus some things from the Gold Sponsor Tier. PM me to discuss the details for not cluttering the thread (or post it if you insist to make it transparent at all cost Wink )
Id like to aid you guys in your cause as I think everybody profits from it!

Greetings from Germany,
Johannes

Let's pick some more:

Segment about Satoshi: "Who are you", The Who

Segment segueing from the first big rally & crash to the current rally: "You aint seen nothing yet", Bachman Turner Overdrive

Obviously, "The Taxman" by The Beatles has to be worked in somewhere too.



IMO this would create the effect of 'taking you back in time', which would not be appropriate: it should be futuristic.

There's a term that describes this progression, but it eludes me.

I think I know what you mean, a lot of Hollywood films use it, especially if the score is very good: 'Titanic', 'The Bodyguard', 'The Lion King'.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

It would be really nice to open the film with just a screen of the text appearing letter by letter, with the sound of typing.


I believe it's a legal requirement, mandated by international treaties, that any such documentary begins with Pink Floyd's "Money"

First the silent typing opening, then after the first scene has ended "Money" with the opening credits and some kind of 'sequence'. I believe that is a pretty standard film opening which works very well.

If someone remembers a film that starts in this way: post a link. It's always good to look at examples.

Not exactly what you requested, but a damn close second option. (short) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tubw0JDlyQU

If nothing else, borrow the concept.


Another way to incorporate the song is at the beginning of the doc, show a busker picking Money, later in the film, expand the song further, then further, then toward the end, a full orchestra playing the song, and finally a choir, as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNsI54-26k8

Example (I'm sure we can find more): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z9WVZddH9w First 9 minutes (2 scenes with small and big music climax, then the main film with longer scenes).

"1) The mining pool operators (aka the people that operate "BTC Guild", "50BTC", etc) - 2) The software developers (those working on the main bitcoin client, as well as those who work on others apps and mining software) and 3) The hardware developers - these would probably be the hardest people to get interviews with, but all of those with successful (and possibly even unsuccessful) created ASIC hardware."

Add Satoshi Dice.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

Thank you very much for putting so much effort into getting us the dough we need to make this happen!
I really appreciate the amount of work you are committing to shoulder! If only part of what you envision works out, you can be sure to get a top notch Thank You Present from us as well as any other privilege you would like for yourself or Bitcoin 100.

First I would have said, just give us whatever amount you would like to donate and we try to get you some organizations to accept Bitcoin wherever we can. So I was confused at first about the amount of rules you put up there to formalize your commitment.
Now after carefully reading it again I understand that this is not only between us, but everyone that may want to donate or would possibly give more to the cause. It is set up like a bet and because I know how enarmored this community is with bets, I think its a pretty good idea to propose a personal bet to them.

Just to get this straight, you are trying to get at least 10 NGOs/NPOs by the end of April to accept Bitcoin for donations, that formerly havent and no involvement by the Bitcoin -The Documentary- team would be required to meet your target, correct? If we wanted to help out we certainly could aid you in adding to the list of 10, right? As can anyone?

Not wanting to spoiler or anything, but have you got some good candidates set up already? Because what you attempt here seems REALLY ambitious! 10 new organizations means 1 every 3rd day for a whole month!

Cheers,
Johannes

P.S.: Are you located somewhere near Bratislava btw?

To be clear, I only used the word bet to help explain the challenge aspect, and in way try to associate the term with its common meaning.

The goal is to get 10 non-profits by the end of April that do not currently have a Bitcoin donation option embedded on their websites. Changes are, most would never have heard of Bitcoin until they're approached by a Bitcoiner.

During the course of accomplishing that task, I hope to have at least 10 business (or individuals) pledge at least $5,000 USD total between them in the form of a challenge if I accomplish said task.

If I accomplish both of the above (10 non-profits AND at least 10 businesses to pledge $5,000), I desire The Bitcoin Fountion to donate $1,000 USD in bitcoins.


I'm sure the shorten version is now easier read, but if I would have presented this version first, I would still have had to detail the objective.

Apologies to all if my approach came out ass-backwards.

Please feel free to ask me any questions.

BTW, Rassah has sent the $1,000 USD donation. Please let us know if there's a problem with the transaction.

Calling it a Vite, for I need to go back to Chicago in the morning. Wish I knew if Josh was in town, for I would buy him dinner. Seriously!

I can't really contribute much at this time but if there was a pre-order page, I'd jump on (providing the price is reasonable).

Hi Richy,

There is no pre-order page so to speak, because the final product will be entirely free! If you would like to support the project however and hold something in your hands that others dont, try out our Donation page and Thank You Presents !

Better be quick, before price rises into undefinable hights!

Maybe the guys can do an interview with the legendary Phinnaeus GageGrin

Doon't encourage him. Besides, that wouldn't be too healthy for Phinn, as it would likely cause his already overinflated ego to cause his head to explode.
