Topic: Bitcoin Foundation Final Debate (Read 2786 times)

I will vote today.

Homogenized version finished. http://pastebin.com/kGAY4mU6

(too long for a forum post, both because it'd take up the entire screen of those maybe uninterested, and by hard forum limitation)
(I also am quite fond of Bjork, which I wasn't expecting.)

I know, I sometimes feel a little cheap for my low bounties. On the other hand, for myself, such a transcript wouldn't even be worth 0.001 BTC, so I'm actually overpaying by a factor of 100, and that's all I'm willing to give. Try to see it as an incentive rather than as a payment.

Carlos Danger?

Bwahahaha!

No pay to keep me engaged. Turning speech into more of a caricature provides the engagement, instead. I think it helps in accurately determining inflection, too. More the engagement, though.

You must've missed the first draft I put up before going over it again. Liz: ... so we want people to be encouraged to jump in and share ideas in the BTC marketplace, whether it's for soft porn development, or communication, or how we get off on the message.

If it were live captions, that's what would've shown up for people with CC on. 

Will finish transcribing & edits tonight, give LTB a no-fun version while fun version will stay here. Won't start in on it for ~4hours, until daughter's in bed.

ETA: @ qwk, it takes me ~5x as long to accurately transcribe something as there is audio length. .1BTC/ep is still basically free work when they're 30-60m each. Maybe there's someone else who can do it in real-time or near real-time who'd take it up - definitely people faster than me. I don't do it often. Idunno - I've bitched about their lack of transcriptions before. I guess I'll do it for tips over the next couple months if I still can't find replacement FT work.

ETA2: Actually... it'd be a lot cheaper/efficient in these cases to actually do text interviews, then re-enact them on audio. Would make the audio version more efficient, too. (no "umms," corrections, cut-offs, miscommunications)

vhy vould you change a thing?! transcribed phonetically might be more accurate than not =P

Thank you again, Kluge.

I'd like to point you to my new bounty for LetsTalkBitcoin transcripts:

You might want to rework your's, though 

"Bjork" + "Joerg" = "Borg"? 

An obvious reason would be a personal bias against a candidate, and that certainly seems in ample evidence in this "transcript".

Still, beyond cheap potshots, it could at least be useful as a starting point for somebody else looking to make a more serious, neutral effort of it.

The effort to make the transcript is appreciated - but is there any reason to be putting *accents* into it?

"Bjork" = "Joerg"


Hahahahhaha.

Hm, just how do we get one of them onboard:

Last time LTB partnered with BitcoinMagazine, who paid one of their freelance writers to do the transcriptions, and they were out two days later.    Dan Roseman is going to do transcripts towards the end of the week if they're not done by someone else in the community, but everybody is very busy and transcribing (as Kluge knows) is quite time consuming.

ugh, Bitcoin + politics = a million (more) contradictory and confused messages and impressions that cannot be made sense of.

Why can't we have some kind of mechanism that ensures the one person who least wants to be on the board wins the seat? Is it too late to endorse Bill Still for Bitcoin Foundation?  

"They" are "we",  the members of this community. Did you volunteer to do transcripts like they volunteered to produce and participate in this debate?

Kluge,  thanks for transcribing.

And thanks to everyone involved in producing this debate.

I'm continually impressed by the talent and commitment and the passion of this community.

Be grateful they are doing this free service to the community.

Thanks to LetsTalkBitcoin for hosting the debate on very short notice and thanks to Andreas for moderating.
I appreciate all of the candidates making time over Saturday to participate.

Thanks a lot for the transcript. Nice mimicking the accents and pronounciation.
By the way, the name is Joerg, not Bjork.

Also, agreed, why don't they do transcripts?

That was the point I felt it was the most interesting, I see no reason why Bitcoin foundation should have anything to say about Bitcoin-QT, the fact they are a US based organization is a liability, I hope we see many Bitcoin Foundations popping around all around the world and some can pay for developers, or a developing model similar to the Linux model, I often refer to the Bitcoin Foundation as the US Bitcoin Foundation, bitcoin is global and decentralized, related organizations also have to be.
