Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
Exactly how many will be going? 4 or 6? Would you consider all wearing shirts with a Bitcoin logo on them and have your picture picture taken by a Kenyan using the Kenyan countryside as the backdrop?

The reason I'm asking is I feel that with such photos (I mentioned Bitcoin Magazine earlier to be used in a photshoot), a great article can be written about your trip for inclusion in an upcoming Bitcoin Magazine issue this fall (before Christmas).

I have already contacted edd telling him we would of course wear them and post pictures of wearing them in kenya.

As for the articles we have no problem with that as long as we get to see (and correct it) beforehand.

Boy, that's a tough one! I'm not sure if Matthew will allow anybody else to "Doctor" his baby, but I'll ask him.  Grin

~Bruno~


You have to understand they are under a very watchful eye of the section of tropical medicine, and there can't be any "sloppy press" (and we all know how quickly that happens with all the sloppy bitcoin articles floating around). (not accusing anyone of anything, just stating the concern)


Do you desire free copies of Bitcoin Magazine as well to bring to Kenya?

~Bruno~


I have to admit these guys aren't that technically savvy, so I don't know how much good that would do, but if you want pictures of the magazine in kenya I'm sure that could be arranged.

Well, that saved me some money. I guess two copies would suffice. No use having six individuals arrested at the airport for being in possession of horse-head-porn. (explain the joke to them if they're not up to speed)

Please PM me where I should have the copies delivered to. They will be delivered via whatever entity over at Bitcoin Magazine has in place to deliver said issues. I'm simply paying for them.

If anybody else has any other ideas of what other Bitcoin related props we can send to Kenya, please let us know.

With that, I'm reopening the other two threads that I closed, and will keep this open.

~Bruno~


That is very generous of you (as is everything you've already done for us), Bruno, thanks! I can pm you my address and I'll give them the copies in person, if that's ok with you?

No problem at all with all you've mentioned above, vuce.

Hi guys,

I'm sorry if we missed some questions, turns out ipad isn't the best thing for doing this, but my laptop keeps disconnecting from wireless so we were stuck with that. We were at the coffee shop until they threw us out Smiley but I hope she now knows how to use the forum and will periodically check for new questions.

Seems to me this would be a request the subject of almost any article would make if they could. Whomever writes the article might want to conduct an interview to glean more info.

Ok some more questions then:

Have you already raised all the money you need or are you still fundraising?
Have you made any prior arrangements with any of the locals or are you going in blind so to speak?
How long do you intend to stay?
Have you thought about how you're going to ensure your safety?
Do you have any mental strategies prepared to deal with probably not so rosy circumstances you about to find yourselves in?


I think that's enough for now.  Cool

We are still collecting funds and in case if we dont collect enought we will pay the difference from our pockets...after all it is an interesting experience for us and we dont want to miss it...

On every location earlier expeditions set up temporary little houses where we try to provide continous medical care and educational programs.

Every three months goes another team there...or at least we try to be there as much as possible....

Section for tropical medicine organizes every year many lectures so that we have knowledge about tropical diseases and we also take the needed immunizations and drugs for us as well.

well we will just have to go with the flow...

Oh, yeah that makes way more sense  Wink

I've edited my post, but the quoted reply is in reference to my post which, in retrospect, saying the same thing (sans the edit), hence making more sense.

BTW, where did the Slovenians go?
