Is there any press there, besides Max and Stacy?
BitTalk.TV would have streamed it live unfortunately there are no 'press passes' and I think that's probably what's keeping any serious media out.
There was press, spiegel.de was one that stands out but Its been a very busy few days and I can't recall the other names right now. Press passes were available definitely, sorry we didn't get the message out to everyone.
Usually a press pass means that the press are allowed in without needing to pay an admission fee (since they are not there for the purpose of enjoying the show, but just helping the presenters to spread the word). If I am wrong in my definition then I'll be happy to clarify.
There may be press passes, but press needs to pay to get in, and that may be what is keeping many serious media out.
I hope somebody is going to stream it though-- this lackluster history of bitcoin conventions we have going on in our community isn't help us much.
No dude, we are not slandering our name and we are not commenting on the conference itself; rather we are reacting to previous comments, including Mitchell Bourne's, since he decided to retaliate by slandering us, and we will not stop, we will not be censored or shouted down. We will take this to the financial press if need be. Count on us, dude. And we dont need the approval of the trolls on this forum or the forum admin, and frankly we dont need your business dollars either. This forum isnt really about business anyway, its about arguments, and we will win this argument.

Don't even bother with him. His post is off-topic and it will be removed. He'll also be banned if he keeps posting off-topic. As for his arguments about 'never giving up', frankly he's already lost and he's going to have his ass handed to him in front of 30,000 viewers on bittalk.tv come this Christmas during our Christmas Special. People need to learn that when you mess with the bulls, you get the herpes.
Press passes were available for free,your definition is correct.
We had a guy coming for free that was offering professional streaming however he pulled out and we just had so many things to do, we didn't have the resources. Would have taken you up on the offer in a heartbeat.
We did focus on content and we have so much of it we will be releasing it every day for the next month. Unfortunately I didn't get to talk properly with many people or even take in the talks as there was just so much to do, tomorrow i look forward to chatting with people at lunch and the hackerspace as my official duties are pretty much over.
I'll be heading back home to Romania Monday and start on some production Tuesday so we can share with everyone what just happened.
I'll at least get some photos up tomorrow, there were a lot of cameras so others should too.
