This was really cool, thanks for sharing. If you don't mind I may use some of this information for my presentation for class (see here .. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/doing-a-presentation-on-btc-for-class-could-use-some-advice-please-109315)

If you have anything that you think may be interesting to add, please let me know.

Thanks-

Use whatever you'd like!

Can you elaborate more on what you did to transfer those coins to people that sent you an E-Mail?

I wanted to do something like that for the class, but was going to pass out USB sticks with individual wallets on each. Then send them coins in real time after the presentation is finishing up.

Thanks

To every attendee who sent us an email, we emailed back 0.1 BTC via Coinapult.com

“well, then it’s likely the regulators will go after the infrastructure – they’ll go after the server farms.” To this, Charlie held up his laptop, and said, “but this is the farm!” Clearly the speaker didn’t yet comprehend the awesome power of Bitcoin. He didn’t realize there are no farms to seize, and this is one of the top legal counsels to The Federal Reserve.

This is why bitcoin will crush them. They don't even understand what they're up against. They won't understand it until it's running over them. I'm envious as hell that you two got to do that. Is there video?

Great story! I have a bad feeling that once these bankers and regulators find out more about Bitcoin, they may become a lot less friendly. Keep up the good work! Grin

It will take a long time before they ever take Bitcoin seriously. During that time, we need to work, build, and develop.

In other words, BitInstant was processing 1/5th of the monthly payments of Chile’s internal payment.

Brain exploded.

As some of you know, Charlie and I were in Rio this week for NACHA's Global Payments Forum. NACHA is the organization that sets rules for the US ACH system. Our presentation went very well, and we made some great connections with those in the "traditional banking" world.

I prepared a (fairly long) blog post about the trip, enjoy!
