Topic: BITCOIN booth at CES Las Vegas! Tell all reporters! - page 7. (Read 23565 times)

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.

Embargo Lifted!

I have updated the OP with the new video, sample photos, and brochure of the newest Bit-Pay product!

Also we have rolled out an update to our website.  Things are much better organized and more visual, and very easy to navigate around on an iPad.

Hey guys, this sounds great! I live here in Las Vegas

I don't think I'll be able to go though, I'm still too sick with my CMP problem.

Hopefully you'll do it again next year.

oh my gosh I've never heard of that movie going to check it out ahaha

I'm on it: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.681239

epass didn't keep up on KYC policies and regulations, once they could not operate the same way from US , epass moved their operation to offshore islands (somewhere around that time few years back epass also processed for illegal online gambling too); anyone could have gotten account and their epass visa card almost anonymously for limited usage. at one point Visa put a break on due to non compliance with their own program policies  leaving epass card holders and epass without access to those funds  - that's when everything went sour for everyone who used epass. since virtual epass wallets and visa cards funds were in separate banks, eventually people were able to get their visa card balances offloaded but whoever had money in virtual epass wallets were stuck as there were very limited options withdrawing money from there and lots of delays. basically most people in US were able to get their money out via limited ACH and wires as those funds were kept in another bank. international users were pretty much screwed. as rumor goes Mallick had used epass account holders money to fund his movie and when visa shutdown card program, i guess the discrepancy on amount of available funds had surfaced effectively running down epass to demise when everyone wanted to get their money out at the same time.

ok that's good to know.  I was going to talk to him about bitcoin, and ask his recommendation on how we can avoid getting our bank accounts shut down or seized.  Maybe he can give me some advice?  LOL

The new Android dongle with HDMI connection looks quite promising (bargain).

Pfffft
They are just saying "there is no new iFail device"

I'm not sure if you'd want to ask him anything about it, but if you do

ask him if he's planning on making and releasing second MM movie "money in motion" - i bet he'll be delighted ) or what was the story with epass, will be interesting to hear his side of the story

i'm sure adult webmasters would like to know if he funded the movie with funds of epassporte account holders and if not where did their money go?  the estimate of missing funds was in several million dollars - how accurate that is i have no idea, exact number is unknown. the movie production was in range of somewhere 20-30mil

i was lucky enough to pull all my funds from epass just a day or two before access to accounts was disabled, from what i understand many others were not that fortunate. GFY members would love to hear back from Chris with a status update about their funds at the very least.

I'm actually meeting Chris Mallick next week.  what should I ask him about epassporte?

i refuse to watch that movie for a simple fact, the guy who produced the movie managed to screw up many people adult industry in the end (epassporte fiasco), i'm guessing that part isn't in the movie though, maybe he'll make "middle men 2 - funds in motion" later on

You should rent the movie Middle Men.  it's about the guys who invented the way to accept credit cards over the internet on porn sites...

when you get to the scene in the movie about the different alert tones, you'll get it

get me a video of the cabbie and I will play it!

I'll assume that's a good thing. What about the Chicago Cabbie idea?

Consumer Electronics Show lacks the Next Big Thing

Despite what is expected to be a record number of exhibitors and attendees, many analysts agree that no single device or technology has emerged to define the show.

I once read, or least I think I've read, that newsmen are somewhat lazy and need a lead feed to them. Introduce them a talking point and an established back story, and their now able to pump out a quick copy and call it a day. This is no way a diss toward newsmen. I'm just relating something I think I remember and trying to put that into perspective. The equation would look like this: Chicago Cabbie + Social Media (Twitter) = More Customers + More Customers Paying With Bitcoin = MORE PROFIT!

~Bruno~

Now you're thinking like the guys from Middle Men... 

Actually there should be three sounds: buying; selling; and when a new block of 50 BTC is found (I suggest Boo-yah! for that one).


I was going to suggest something like that. Sex sells!

There's not enough time for this idea, but it would've been nice to have a half dozen or so people donning uniforms to represent products and services which use Bitcoin, e.g., a cabbie...WAIT!!! It's not to late.

What IFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!

Chicago Cabbie started accepting Bitcoin prior to the start of CES and put together a video of him doing it in action. He's even a video guy with the equipment. I'm sure he'll jump at the chance of being at CES even if only on video. Put that video in the loop, and I believe it's capable of going viral.

Awesome!

Question -how easy is it to use a different ding sound? Something attractive as opposed to abrasive would be good =) Something like this: http://audiojungle.net/item/message-16/804200?WT.ac=category_item&WT.seg_1=category_item&WT.z_author=JavaSiS

If you find a sound on that site that you like, pm me and I'll compensate you with btc as a donation.
