heading down to Venetian in a bit, really excited to meet the bit-pay guys.
I have been playing a little BTC poker on seals, and have just been fascinated by the entire BTC idea and consuming tons of information the past few months.

Yes we've sold some physical bitcoins already!
Glad to hear things are going well so far!
Any direct sales of BTC to people at the show?

The show is really busy and we are seeing alot of traffic in our booth. I've given demos already to people from Citibank, Diebold, and First Data. I sent photos to a few people to post here for us!
Tony asked me to post these pics from earlier today...

Yes, it's Vegas, after all, not Pattaya :-)

The Bit-Pay brochures look very slick and professional, and really convincing. I can see selling a lot of merchants onto bitcoin with them.
Thanks! We printed 1000 of them. If there are any left after the show we will mail some of them out to anyone who would like to use them to promote bitcoins where they live.
The LoveBitcoins site is updated with the donor list. Thanks guys, I will post pictures of our booth tomorrow.

I'm leaving shortly to head to Chicago to meet up with Rashid, @ChicagoCabbie.

So, CES is live now... your booth is up and running? Any sales? Any interest? Any reporters? Any pictures to share?
nope, tomorrow morning 10am the exhibits start. Today is just the conference talks...

Thank you for your contributions, BitPay!
That deposit card is just perfect. That's the system of the future and the best way to explain bitcoins to 'regular' people! Also a perfect gift including the physical coins casascius issues to get your friend/family member started.
I see you're doing your best to get the word bitcoin out there and I think you're doing a good job! Keep up!
Just one thing: I think a company stands or falls with the way it presents itself and I think you can improve this in one way: I don't like(understatement) the voice in the video on your site and I think I'm not the only one. Just my two cents.

Thanks for the feedback! Right now the voice in our videos is Alison because she's the only one of us with professional speaking experience (she works for Fox Sports video covering college football). But as we grow we will probably look for better voiceover talent.
And yes these make a GREAT gift to give to a newbie bitcoin user. Its something they can hold in their hand and they can understand the connectoin "use this to receive money, ok, I get it!".
Once they get past that first step, moving on to the wallets and stuff is easier. But too many people get confused too quickly trying to get the whole virtual currency thing. This card helps them grasp the concept first.
Some photos of the booth, for those who aren't at las vegas?
