If you load this YouTube link, it will loop these four Bitcoin videos. All. Day. Long.

Please post your Internet connectivity experience during and after the show. I see the shared packages are in the range $595 to $1495. I'm really curious if you manage to get Bitcoin working reliably while the exhibits are open and without the need to get a dedicated circuit.

Roger will be selling virtual and physical bitcoins in the booth for cash, credit cards, and PayPal. Yes, virtual bitcoins for credit card, right in the booth!

Edit: Also, please post if you manage to sell any bitcoins for cash/check/credit-card on the show floor without getting your booth closed. I'm extremely curious if they have any effective enforcement of their rules.

Heres my initial attempt http://blockchain.info/new-transactions?format=webgl. Needs a bit more flash, but i'm not sure what i could add.

Also Can't seem to remove markers using WebGL earth so flags won't be cleared on a new block.

You've been doing an awesome job with Blockchain.info, keep it up! I use the site almost every day.

Cheers evoorhees, glad your finding it useful.

BTW guys, If you can't find any booth babes, I'll put on a Bikini and strut around for a few Bitcoins.

This youtube video would be a great presentation to be running from your booth:

http://www.weusecoins.com/

It's less than 2 minutes, very professionally done, and covers the basics of Bitcoin.

Allow me to suggest, if it has not been considered already, that a variety of possible displays planned in advance and queued up.

It would not surprise me to see some of the possible services DDOS'd for lulz (if nothing else) during the show. If not simply fail for shit-house-luck reasons.

Not sure if you have table space for this... but a laptop or LCD sitting on the table with the bitcoin WebGL globe on it would be a great attention getter and conversation piece. You could also show the BitcoinMonitor.com page... these things should demonstrate visually how Bitcoin is something new and different, and the tech crowd should be quite receptive.
Even better - put one of these visuals on a large LCD tv behind your booth.
Good luck!

Even better - instead of those, we'll have the Blockchain.info set to ding every time a new transaction appears
http://blockchain.info/new-transactions

Hot damn I hadn't seen that! Awesome :)

Heh, I have to see it during my pool's payout :))

Blockchain.info also has a WebGL globe (updates live) http://blockchain.info/nodes-globe

I could try and put transactions on the globe, could be cool.

YEAH! popping and dinging transactions on a spinnable globe would be awesome! The show starts Tuesday morning

is it just me, or is that map missing significant portions of the world?

It seems to center on where the transactions are. If you click it, you can grab and move it.

There is more to Bitcoin than bitcoins.

The blockchain.info map and list of new transactions is great, but it is cluttered for someone not familiar with Bitcoin. I still think the WebGL globe is a perfect attention grabber for the uninitiated walking by. Perhaps you can have both, with the globe being more prominent, and blockchain.info available for a guided tour?

Anyway, it's great you decided to do CES. Keep us up to date.

Bitbuy.nl!

This is great! Curious what the reaction of most people will be, especially since you have to give them information in a short timewindow. What my experience is is that people without any basic knowledge aren't convinced very quickly but it's important they at least had their first glimpse in the awesome world of bitcoin!

This would also be pretty cool to use at your booth:

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.

it sounds like we need a little email campaign to Mr. David Sarno. Booth 70018

large LCD tv behind your booth.

small hint from my experience: a small projector is better!!! much easier to transport and just hang up a small bedsheet (or whatever the correct word is) to project onto and you are set. that's very flexible and a good attention grabber.

good luck from me, too!
