Topic: Bounty for Bitcoin Animated Movie [won] - page 6. (Read 88199 times)

Nice job! Sent 25 btc as thanks to 17eSZivDJpuJp9TxezTXVxkgLbsr3XZM1i.

Of course not. Probably even Gavin himself thought of that video as a placeholder until a newbie friendly animated video was made.

I disagree. I think the speed is perfect for such a basic promo which should only serve as an inspiration for people to read more about it and research more on their own.

This is excellent video, however much too fast.
Especially for people who don't speak fluent english. Actually i think that it will even be difficult to make subtitles that can keep up to the speed.

If you can slow the speed of events a little, it would be absolutely awesome.

What about a 30% slowdown ?


I'm sending X BTC now.
If you can slow it down, i will send more.

Wouldn't it be smart to make a new thread about this specific video and website?

Awesome promo. I've already shared in on Facebook, and on 4 other forums that I know have people who will be very interested.

That's good anyway.

No, directly to justmoon. I prefer to select recipient directly .

To the address I listed right?

Justmoon, well done! I will be happy for next, mode in-depth video, so I hope that you'll give at least part of the bounty to cover video costs and save a bit for next one . I also like the marketing budget idea. I sent 50 BTC right now directly to your account.

I send my pledged 23.05 BTC to the escrow account.

This is for the mybitcoin account. Feel free to donate even more bitcoin into it.

Also, do not donate to the address listed at the beginning of the thread as a precaution. The address I listed in this post definitely belong to the mybitcoin escrow account.

Overall, it looks video good. A bit too fast, IMO, though-- I had to skip backward to keep up a few times!

Only other suggestion I have is to mention tradebitcoin.com on the webpage.

This is actually a pretty good video

Well done!


PS.  Am I the only one who thinks that this video could replace Gavin's speech video on bitcoin.org?

Awesome video indeed, and thank you for reinvesting the bounty! Your efforts are much appreciated.

Btw, maybe it'd be a good idea to repost in the main forum because probably not many people check out this subforum.

Awesome video! It wins three of my goal bounties:
- How to get started.
- (Professional-looking animation and audio.)
- (Long-term value for the Bitcoin community.)

I have sent 300 BTC.

This is excellent work! I hope you have good luck getting Gavin or Satoshi approve of it.

Also, how come it said no fees at the end? Maybe it should said "very cheap".

Thanks for the CoinPal mention.  I'll keep a close eye on my inventory to try and meet the buying rush as this excellent video goes viral.  Thank you to all involved.

I love your idea for continued Bitcoin marketing efforts.  My vote is for more videos.  When I first heard of Bitcoin, I spent a couple hours trying to find decent ones to help me clarify my understanding of the PDF.

Ok, well, the website is only half done, but I'm tired of keeping everybody waiting.

I'll strive to quickly improve the site - feedback is welcome. And if you have a cool Bitcoin service that could help a newbie that isn't on there yet, please let me know.

Now onto the subject of bounties: If we win the main bounty I will recoup the costs for this video (exactly 2000 BTC b/c our motion graphics designer gets 2000 BTC minus audio costs) and the rest (6400 BTC) plus any other bounties or donations we receive will become a fund for promoting Bitcoin. I'm thinking of things like:

- Additional, more in-depth videos
- Updates/improvements/features for weusecoins.com
- A donation to the faucet
- Sponsorships (e.g. paying a popular podcast to mention Bitcoin in their opening)
- Posting bounties for usability features etc.
- Other ideas are most welcome!

The reason I want to reinvest the bounty in this way is that I think with Bitcoin being an open source project the marginal utility of having even a small marketing budget is rather large. I own a lot of Bitcoins and I'm good at doing a lot with a small budget, so with the bounty as a permanent Bitcoin marketing fund, I'm hoping to be able to do some good over the next year or so.

The address for the Bitcoin marketing fund is 17eSZivDJpuJp9TxezTXVxkgLbsr3XZM1i - we will make a page where everything we spend from this address will be listed and of course the block chain will allow you to confirm the amounts are accurate and how much is still there.

First step for winning the main bounty is getting Satoshi's approval for the video, so I've emailed him and will let you know how it goes. If we can't reach him, I propose asking Gavin for approval instead.

As for Reddit and Digg bounties - I have no interest in those sites and no idea how to promote something there so I won't bother. Feel free to post links to the video on those (and other) pages if you like, any bounty we win from theymos will be added to the marketing fund and will go towards further videos etc as stated above.
