hi all (especially the sponsors)
the video is online for your evaluation. I panicked a bit and am not overall happy with the result but here it is for your review and accepting comments. I got distracted while playing with the redeeming part (lot of time passed since the first video was published). I spent some time but do not show in the video how I used pywallet script with a browser and
https://blockchain.info/wallet but that might be a good material for sequels. I added the redeem only via mtgox as requested. In the first part I show two different block exploring sites checking the first bits of the bitcoin and that they show the same balance.
If you want I can retry and speak over the video once more and include your comments. Otherwise PM me for contact details.
It was my first video ever. I thought editing would be easier and / or I will use nice effects but now I'm happy it's finally done. Raw but hopefully useful. Again, I welcome 'constructive' feedback and could rework parts of the clip if needed. Just let me know which part is not clear or needs improvement.

Two minor complaints.
1) there's no explanation as to where you got the number to enter block explorer. Watching the video it's not obvious it's printed on the coin.
2) You don't mention the website you're redeeming the coin on. I can read it in the title bar but it would be nice if there was a better indication.
I'm not sure how it works, but I've seen people add notes to their videos after the fact taht show up as pop-up balloons. If you could easily just do that I think it would be awesome. No need to re-record the soundtrack.
Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, you met all the requirements, the above will just get you extra credit. I'll PM you to discuss the payment of two physical coins.
Comments noted, to be fixed soon (some other night).
As I mentioned this was my first video ever so while I'll improve the synchronization of the spoken commentary with the video I will
1) add the description that the firstbits or address come from the sticker, they are printed on the surface
and 2) add a readable URLs in the video.
I'll see what parts I could remove from the video and work on the font size on the websites so that they are readable also at lover resolution.
Just finished viewing the video. Looks good! Where do I send your 0.5 BTC?
please see PM, I've send you an unique donation address
