Team Bitcoin! Stephen, Heather, and Tony promoting Bitcoin at Paul Fest

Vette's for Ron Paul!

We sold a bunch of the Casascius bitcoins today and we were accepting credit cards in the booth. We sold out! I will have to bring more tomorrow.

The samples from BitPantry and BeeBros were big hits!

We met some of the RNC Delegates from Oklahoma and Louisiana. The big C-SPAN bus was there today also.

And incase you are wondering, YES - Heather has a blockchain wallet on her iphone, she has a BitFloor account, and we paid her in bitcoins today and she knows how to use them!

Tomorrow's schedule includes Peter Schiff and Adam Kokesh. Should be another great day!

Thanks for all of your hard work promoting bitcoin! I should have sent more stuff!!

I'm just thinking it's hard to know we have actual Bitcoin reps there standing by Grin

Don't worry, we've got 3 of the bitcoin polo shirts from CryptoAnarchy.us that we will be wearing tomorrow and Sunday. We've also got Alison's sister in the booth. There won't be any doubt that bitcoin is here.

wait a minute! hold on right there! Alison has a sister? OMG Cheesy

Presidential Nominee Gary Johnson speaking on stage, with the bitcoin banner!

Heh, I believe Gary Johnson might have been the first politician to have received a bitcoin (at least the first presidential candidate to have received one):

That makes sense. Thanks for the update!

Do people seem to have heard of Bitcoin?

Any chance of a banner with a more prominent Bitcoin logo?

We have the bitcoin banner ON STAGE with all of the concerts and speakers. That gets alot more eyeballs than our 10x10 booth

Yes, I just added an edit. Any chance of getting the banner size from the stage also on the back wall of your booth (or front of table)? Just so people can know to stop at the booth? I don't know the environment there of course, I'm just thinking it's hard to know we have actual Bitcoin reps there standing by Grin

That gonna be the first time I saw a BFL mini rig on photo.

Is it operational?

the Single is operational and mining at ~880 MH/s (with the red light on)

The mini-rig is just an empty case, there's no hardware inside

heh, I imagine people gonna ask similar questions alot, better be prepared for it Wink

Lookin good! Grin

Just one small nitpick about the booth. It looks like if I'm walking by I'd think "hey, a BitPay booth, not sure what that is...". I wouldn't even see the Bitcoin logo if I didn't stop at the table. Any chance of a banner with a more prominent Bitcoin logo? By now many people may have heard of Bitcoin, so seeing the booth at the PAUL Festival could be a major call to action.

I'm thinking more like this:

EDIT: or maybe the banner that's on the stage also on the back wall of your booth.
