edit: just saw my site in the trailer Grin

The trailer really got me btw.

you got a typo in the trailer at the beginning, it's bitcoinica not bitconica You might consider having the film reviewed by some "experts" as even little mistakes can drive nerds nuts. Wink

I can arrange some footage with a criminal, carder/assassin/fullz/computer hackers, etc, if you like.

This was a completely serious post lol. If you don't think organized crime is a relevant part of bitcoins then you are on some good acid.

UPDATE: Trace Mayer, entrepreneur, lawyer and author of a variety of books including: "Bitcoin Beginner’s Guide" and "A Lawyer’s Take On Bitcoin And Taxes" has confirmed an interview with us on March 18th in Vienna!
He also hosts RuntoGold.com and HowtoVanish.com and is known to be a strong advocate of personal and financial liberties.

We have our very first interview set up as a chain of appointments in the coming weeks. On Monday we will make the trip and meet Trace in Vienna, where he is invited to hold a presentation at the Global Payments Forum. If everything goes as planned, the venue of said interview will be the divine halls of Bitcoin Card's work shop next door. Who knows, maybe we will even have the chance to get hold of some more interesting people to question that day..

First snippets of the interview will be available few days after the filming with exclusive digital content accessible only to commited supporters,.. see our Donation page for details on how to unlock this special privilege!

Thank you to all our supporters so far!

@Spekulatius

Besides $/BTC and video submissions, is there anything else you desire to see this project to fruition of which can be donated, whether a physical object or time (read providing some service)?

Thank you for asking.
You can donate anything you deem useful to this project, especially:

- Contacts of interesting people
- Suggestions on how to improve
- Animation work for animated sequences, like explainatory animations on how Bitcoins work or what you can do with them (free of any tendencies or opinions pls!)
- Anything really, just the other week some benevolent user has quasi donated his domain to us. Have a look at his gift here: bitcoindocumentary.com
- If you like making music we would love to have someone writing one or the other song for us to use in the final movie. Pls contact me if you are interested!
- Have a look at our OP in this thread, I will try to keep it up to date with assignments, users can take part in. Right now we need a Spanish translator for the Argentinian interview I recorded, while I was there. !Por favor envian mensajes a: [email protected] o usa la función de "PM" en este forum y contactame, si están interesados! !Gracias! (and dont mind my Spanish Wink

)

i could help with the spanish-translation ...

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

And if you accept the above offer, during the interim of you obtaining the ten non-profits we obtain one some other way, we'll still shoot you $500 worth of bitcoins, thus one less you have to secure. But no promises.

Perhaps, a selling point to the NPO/NGO's could be a mention of their noble causes in the documentary. That'll help give them further exposure as well, especially if the film was nominated for something--or anything.

If you paid for a Spanish program from psy, there's a scammer tag section on this forum. Also, Dank is the best musician I can think of on this forum. I just came up with an interesting idea while penning that last sentence. Image Dank as a busker, playing(?) his guitar, accepting donations only in bitcoins, whereupon if he reaches a certain amount, he'll stop playing. Otherwise the song(?) remains the same.

Seeing that there's four of you, and the documentary's based on a financial aspect, what better place to start it than here?

After filming a similar work, head on over to Bank on Dave and try to convince him to start accepting/dealing-in Bitcoin. Explain to him that you're making a documentary and looking for a short term Bitcoin loan.

For starters, everything you guys are doing now that's Bitcoin related should be filmed, for it's all part of the project.

Back to the Bitcoin 100 proposal.

Currently, we have ~$20,000 worth of bitcoins setting in our coffer. All we're asking in return for a $1,000 donation is a link on your official site and a tiny mention in the credits, something you would do for some other entity willing to donate a chuck of change. You would do it for Bank on Dave, wouldn't you?

But I'm willing to go one better--a lot better. But it would entail a little effort on your part, but worth the footage. I'll explain in sec, but first the following.

Originally, Bitcoin 100's intent was to dole out 100 BTC to any non-profit that would simple embed a Bitcoin donation option onto their website, provided they met a couple simple criteria. Four have done so, and $400 to $1,200 worth of coins were donated to them, depending on the exchange rate at the time. The purpose was, and still is, to further the awareness of Bitcoin. Now some of those early entities we approached declined when bitcoins traded in the single digits (US dollar speaking). Now at $46 a coin, they may have second thoughts seeing that there's $4,600 to be had.

But I foreseen this as a possibility early on, thus suggestion that at some arbitrary amount like $20 per coin should be the cutting off point for the 100 BTC donation. Since we've surpassed that mark, and Bitcoin is obtaining more exposure, it's time to cut that figure down to $1,000 per charitable organization, but not lower, as I've mentioned a few times already in Bitcoin 100's main thread.

And what more venerable cause then your endeavor to start, leaving us with ~$19,000.

Here's what I propose. First accept the $1,000 donation. Then seek out an NPO/NGO willing to embed a Bitcoin donation option onto their respective website, and they will receive a $1,000 donation. For your efforts, $500 worth of bitcoin will be transferred to your coffer.

Ideally, it'll be nice to be filming your efforts, showing beforehand how easy this sounds, but hopefully you encounter brick walls which makes good cinema.

Do this 12 times total, and you'll receive an additional $6,000 on top of the $1,000 we hopefully gave you, leaving $1,000 in our coffer at the current exchange rate. Hypothetically if the exchange rate remains the same after your team/network-of-friends garner the 12 non-profits, we'll give you that $1,000 as a bonus. At the end of the day, our coffer will be empty and your (ours, as in bitcoiners) documentary is well on its way. I'm sure you brainiacs can figure out a way to weave the story line in on how you had to give away thousands of dollars worth of bitcoins so that you can make this fine documentary.

Think about it! It'll probably be the first ever documentary funded via the giving away of money opposed to the trying of obtain it. And it would only take some effort on your team's part, of which you should be able to collect some fine footage during the process, provided camera's in hand.

Fuck it! Make it only 10 NPO/NGO's you need to obtain at $1K a pop, and the rest is yours. And if the exchange rate goes higher in the coming weeks, of which it may, I pretty sure you'll have your $13K from us. We'll still dole it out at $1,000 per charity and $500 to you, with the balance transferred once the tenth charity is obtained.

Image the footage when you receive a yes on that tenth entity. The jumping up with joy knowing that you have earned the money hoped for to make said documentary.

What we get out of the deal is eleven more non-profit entities (ten, plus yourself) who've added Bitcoin donation options onto their websites. That's all we ever wanted in the first place. And if the exchange rate wouldn't have risen, the best we would have hoped for was only ~4 more with the current amount of bitcoins we have on hand.

The way I see it, it's a win/win for all parties concerned. The worse aspect of the entire deal is that there would be some effort on your team's (and your network of friends/associates) part. But the filming of said effort would make the quest that much more valuable.

If luck is on your side, you may even approach $20K worth of bitcoins.

The other option is doing it the old fashion way getting a dollar here, a dollar there, and in no time (no pun intended) you've have a sawbuck.

Let me know what you think.

There is more to Bitcoin than bitcoins.

No time to read through the whole thread -

Bitcoin may turn out to be of historical importance. Therefore, everyone here should make sure these early days are documented. If you do have home footages of your mining rigs, bitcoin discussions, in-person trades, bitcoin firsts, bitcoin disasters, angry wives - by all means preserve these footages and share them with Spekulatius!

If the general consensus is that this endeavor is viable, I see no reason why Bitcoin 100 can't donate $1,000 worth of BTC toward the project. We would ask that some credit of sorts be placed on the final production, and definitely on your website.

What is the projected release date?

We'll reveal the release date in the next days, stay tuned. And thx for your suggestions! I realize a lot of people want to have a say on where to spend the next tranch of funds from Bitcoin 100. We would of course be happy to accept your donations, but please hold on a couple of days more before you start any official polling! We will make some announcements in the days to come to make it clearer what we plan on doing next and what we already accomplished! Next announcement tomorrow..

I lol'd when I downloaded your game and had a look at the cards! Cheesy

Really funny! I encourage everybody who's part of some Bitcoin cracker barrel to print the game out and bring it on your next meeting!
For added fun, you may wanna gamble for some Bitcoin bank notes Wink

You could be the kind of guy we are looking for our main story. You seem very much involved in Bitcoin and have some projects on the side we could show. I would like to learn more about your Bitcoin history and plans, pls PM me if you are interested!

Cheers,

Please come to Finland guys. We have a very lively community here, probably one of the biggest in the world. Relative to the population size, I'm confident that Finland has the most Bitcoin users anywhere.

I had you guys on my list already. Now that the donations roll in I think its not too foolhardy to think about paying a visit.
