i am gonna concentrate some of the replies in a post, so i will edit a lot in one post, you may see my reply at the earlier post instead of new one, i do not cheat the sign campaign in my thread.

so i would wish to plan a form of bitcoin related carnival, with what you have in the major fair like pirate ship, so-called game booths.

probably, it should mainly accept bitcoin as payment, but we would allow fiat to convince people as well. Huh

what should we plan about it? like:

games/ prize of games
thrill rides
family rides
admission fees
the system
the foodstuffs
so on

if you have any idea, please post some of the good ideas here. if the plan did a success, it could even make that kind of carnival into a true form. (unlikely, but depends on the range of success.) i would add up everyone's opinion when possible.

voting of idea plan(PM me if i forgot to post result here):

admission price 6/1~10/1
average game booth fees 10/1~13/1
prices on food (part 1) 13/1~16/1
part 2 16/1~19/1
thrill rides? 19/1~22/1
further voting coming soon

please move this thread into a proper thread if i did it wrong here.

That is a great idea. I really think that you should work on it and try to set it up. I'm sure the whole community will be there to help you!

many thanks.

i am gonna change the vote soon, stay tuned. if you are wishing to vote, then go for it as soon as possible.

I'm not a hacker, but I can easily envision a rogue entity frequenting such an event for the sole purpose of sniffing packets. A conference is one thing where most patrons are versed in protecting their hardware, whereas an outing enjoyed by less tech-savvy folks becomes enjoyment for those feeding off said folks.

Not dissing the endeavor, but we must take all things into consideration, OP.

A good idea would be to organize this about a theme, like pirats. Then you could organize pirats-related activities and sell pirats food (not need to be real pirat food, but you can do cakes that have the shap of ships for exemple). The best advantage of having a theme would be that you would be able to sell your tickets to enter at a bigger price that you could in a normal carnival.

Interesting concept but is it a good idea to focus the carnival on the negative aspects of Bitcoin while charging more than normal for an entry fee? It's not very subtle. How many times can that work on people?! Do we even know what pirats eat? Perhaps limes? The only pirat(e)s that come to mind are pirateat40 who will be sentenced to jail time on February 3rd, 2016 and altoid (aka dread pirate Roberts) I'm pretty sure they're not allowed to have contact with anything bitcoin or anything remotely investment related right now but we might be able to ask them what pirat(e)s eat. At this point in their lives, I would imagine they just eat "jail food" three times a day but jail food probably wouldn't be a big draw at a carnival. I'm sure there are many more pirates her; they just don't refer to themselves as "pirate". Hey pirates! What do you eat? Feel free to weigh in as an alt.

Funny text Cheesy

. When I meant pirates I meant historical pirates, like Black Beard. But after all, this was a suggestion. You can do it about knights if this a problem.

A Bitcoin carnival sounds interesting to me, where everything is bitcoin related. I agree that the admission price should be free, so that outside people can come take a look, and perhaps get interested in it too. Use the idea of buying tickets to play, where every ride/stall uses the tickets as the currency instead, maybe a limited bitcoin token will do too.

You should charge cheaper for the tickets for those who buy it bitcoin, and there could be rewards in the carnival too, like if you win a game you get 1 bitcoin reward token that can be used to exchange for more tickets, or real bitcoin!! This could be an incentive, to win, but make sure its not that easy! Tongue

Supporting you for creating a bitcoin carnival, all the best!

A monetary reward, could classify it as a gambling operation and that comes with it's own licensing requirements. These licenses will make it too expensive to operate. I would

much rather work on a token system, where you could exchange tokens for "fluffy" toys. You make a excellent point in giving discounted rates for Bitcoin payments, and this

would be a perfect incentive for adoption. Grin

Admissions fees for carnivals and fairs are why the attendance and profits are so low. Stop charging admission fees and more people will come to spend more $ with your product and service vendors, who are already paying for space.

Most all carnivals here in Illinois are free to attend, with purchase of tickets given to ride operators for riding on so that patrons don't have to worry about being short-changed by those considered society's lower class handling actual moneys - patrons trusting a central [on-site] local to purchase their ticket allotments. Operators and vendors pay the organizer to participate predicated on if it's profitable and schedules, the latter with most having their calendar filled at least a year in advance unless they are just starting up.

The more prestigious the event (carnival, in this case), the higher the fees are for vendors and operators to set up. Food vendors charge what they feel the local market can bear, taking into consideration, again, vendor fees, and the distance they have to travel to attend. If inclimate weather is forecast, vendors will back out at the last minute unless it affects participating in subsequent years due to not showing, whereupon another vendor in line takes their place, paying in advance to lock in participation.

Insurance and bond costs are major considerations when planning such an event.

Yeah, this is what it some carnivals seem to fail at understanding. If you charge a bit more for the physical space used by vendors, and charge less to get people to enter the carnival, they'll spend way more. But the carnival probably understands the economics of it better than I do, so I'll let them do the admission fees.

What a great idea!

So where would this fantastic festival be located? I hope I can make it...I'd easily pay $10-20.

L3X 0H8, not too far from where master-P is located in Aurora, Ontario, CA. L3X 0H8 was gleaned from one of lottery248's posts which have power supplies for sale, just like what master-P used to sell. Yes, lottery248 has distanced himself away from master-P, just like some of 100%-proven master-P sockpuppets have distanced themselves from Alex.

That would be one hell of a drive for me, but I think I'd come up there just for the drama. And fried dough. A good carnival must have fried dough.

L3X 0H8 isn't even suitable to setup a bitcoin carnival for that matter, the area avaliable is too low. Sad

gleb i would wish you not to joke excessively here.

I apologize. I misread the post by you because of the sentence structure: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1306301.msg13452849;topicseen#msg13452849

I'll safely assume you live in the US, thus ask, as others have, exactly where would such a carnival take place?

so, can anyone here to provide some of the ideas about the admission fees?
unlike county fair, it is larger than it. and there are a lot of stuff which could be disputed. Huh

i would recommend for $15 at this moment after reading the ideas.

$15 USD or Canadian? Can I call you Alex?

Yeah i guess u can call him Grin

i like the beef going around the carnival Tongue

As for the fest sure its a good idea, for starters admission must be free for a certain time or dollar an hour Grin

because i have being to shit fairs paying money and the feeling you gets after that is cannot be explained Cheesy

, if the fest catches the attention then you can increase your price.

This idea is very nice.
however is the admission your telling is only for entrance?
and the rides fees is separate? If so, I choose the cheapest.
because At first you really need to invest money. almost all people
will just ignore the carnival. As they dont know how the payment process is.
But if you give them a very cheap price for beginning of your carnival.
They may be considered using bitcoin as payments as its very cheap.
Then after a long run, you can increase it little by little. As if they will not even notice it.
As for your profit, you can still have profit. its like. cheap but many. or high fees but few.

Interesting idea, I like this idea. I would probably pay around $10 - $20
I think if you would go over $20 for admission that it would be a bit expensive for just a carnival.

$15 is normal, $40 (in total) covers all of the thrill rides.

and for that matter, we would need to flexibly accept fiat and cryptographicals together.

I think your going to have to build a system to help incentivize the Bitcoin Aspect to your Carnival. I believe a system similar to Dave and Busters or Boomers will help you build proper revenue from small time stuff like what your more or less offering. Something like Allowing Fiat as well as Bitcoin but offering a significant discount for using Bitcoin only. Maybe a 40% markup?

doesnt have to be discount.. could be something like "queue jumping", or front row seats for shows, extended ride times. bigger teddybear prize for knocking over all 3 tin-cans. etc etc

making bitcoin feel more of a VIP currency rather than a less valuable discount voucher
