Topic: Mass Awakening Documentary, featuring Bitcoin. Intro, Rough Cut. (Read 4709 times)

Sharing food? This sounds like socialism. A North Korean bitcoin economy is a fun thought though.

That's a good point. We're updating things now...

Thanks for your input. Marxism? That couldnt be further from the truth, but a ten minute vid wont get the point across. I helped write a PDF which gets free market ideas across a lot better.
 

Nothing but idiotic Marxism. I suggest people get in touch with the reality and empirical evidence: John A. Allison(chairman and CEO of BB&T Corporation), "Leadership and Values"

And remember wishing things were one way does not make them so.

That's the biggest example of corporatism that I have ever seen.

OMG, why didn't we think of this before?!? If enough of us request it she'll probably do it and it would be MASSIVE publicity for BitCoins.

I look at these kind of "know it all" documentaries as only mere distraction from the real problem which is:

Our freedom and our rights to private property.



None of the problems would exists if we had complete freedom and absolute rights to private property. Also I don't ever pretend I know the answers to problems, no one does for that matter but the free market. That's what we need to focus on if we ever want to have a prosperous world and a bright future.

Hi Everyone,

Been very busy working on a Kickstarter fundraiser... Genjix, thanks a lot for all those links. Some of them fall under our mission statement, others don't. For example, Mars Direct is interesting but Mass Awakening wants to inspire direct local action, so Space falls outside of our area of interest, although I'm personally fascinated by the subject. Squatting is cool but I want something that can work large scale.

Kwukduck,

Haha thanks for contacting hotforwords. Did she ever respond?

Here's a new version of the intro for yr viewing pleasure. The project is still a work-in-progress, and will continue to be one for months. Watch in 480 if you can.

Maybe we can get HotForWords to explain to the people what a bitcoin is

(http://www.youtube.com/hotforwords)

I'm prety sure that will boost our audience massively.


[edit]

I sent a request, we'll see if it gets a reply...

Good luck

Excellent video!

Someone else mentioned that, I'll change that for the next cut. Seems we're still making elementary mistakes.


OK will do, prolly no more than 2% gaussian blur in future...

Creighto,

I don't have the time to debate every angle but the points you make will be dealt with in the video so thanks a lot.
Quickly: By 100 per cent, or 50 per cent 'efficiency'- I meant that a free standing room AWG can generate 25 liters per 24 hours in a humid environment, this goes down to 12 liters per 24 hours in dry climates. I understand that wasn't a scientific use of the word efficiency. I suppose I meant: Output drops to 50% in dry climates.



Thats good enough for me... Even if there are other factors such as expense and processing its still worth looking at.

I guess we'll have to let the public decide.

Thanks for the commentary and I'll read any further posts you make with interest, even though I can't respond in full.

Your fuzzy text is killing my eyes.  Make the text crisp and clean plz.

Good work.

I don't like the on-video captions. They are hard to read. See 1:11 for instance.

Also, DON"T TYPE WITH CAPS! It is like shouting.

You might want to give a shot at the Bitcoin Animated Movie pledge. It is near the 14K BTC.

I am familiar with the technology, and it doesn't come close to 100% efficient in *any* context.  Perhaps if one is judging efficiency on the amount of water in the air that the system can extract, but even that isn't ever 100%.  Dubai has a lot of interests in many things that will turn up turkey.  That's not an argument in favor.  Air-water extraction isn't new technology; and although these companies have done wonders for improving the efficiency, the fact of the matter is that these technologies still require large energy inputs, and the production of these devices are resource intensive as well.


First off, I'm not the one who needs references, but yes I could come up with such a source if I was inclined to do so.  Regardless, it's an intuitive result that hemp cannot be all things in the chemical industries.  It can replace 95%+ of the hydrocarbon inputs into manufacturing (many consumer forms of plastic, most petrol based products, etc) as well as many other things.  However, there is nothing that says that hemp can do all of these things cost effectively, nor can hemp replace many of the (other than hydrocarbon based) toxic chemicals in use in industry today.  There are very sound reasons why most of these things are used, presently, that simply cannot be replaced by other processes.


25K uses, but those uses are generally in related chemical classes.  All of them are hydrocarbons, no exceptions.  Hemp wouldn't do anything to reduce the toxic nature of the manufacture of electronics; at least not beyond the plastic cases.

Nor would I recommend investing in any of those companies trying to make a buck from air-water extraction in the Middle East.


Fair enough.  Remember that you asked for commentary.

Update: A couple of people were asking for a BC address.

We just got one, it's in the vid description:

Thx.

Just quoting this so I remember to stick it in the film at some point.

Exactly dude, its a direction not a finished product. By releasing earlier cuts we get a buzz going and get to refine things. Just like bug testing for software. A documentary is just a piece of viral mental software, right?


lol not at all. The atmosphere is good here. Exactly, tighten the argument. Better hear it now than after we release the final cut and it's too late.


I love that vid but I see your point. It'd be better to balance it with something.

Hey, if you guys get something better together, by all means give me the link.

Or the founder could write a 2 minute overview in his own words and we'll stick it in. Give me some jpgs too.

Peace

Genjix: There's section called: "The open source revolution" in development. We're looking forward to all sorts of advice.

Yes, crowd-sourcing is exciting and the potential is *huge.

Re: "Things not being mentioned." -  Remember everyone that this is just a snippet of what will ultimately be a much bigger project. Don't expect it to fully get into gear for another 6 months or so.

We're hoping to get advice as we go along.  

Esperanto may get a mention if we can prove it's being used on a wider scale nowadays.



Absolutely. If you can give me a list of the ten most exciting open source programs, ideas or websites we'll check them out. The cutting edge moves so fast it's hard to keep track. We prefer programs that are in open alpha right now. We really want to give a voice to all the amazing things going on.

As you can see, giving a comprehensive overview of so many subjects is a big mission. We have a half decent jack-of-all-trades knowledge of each field but need to go deeper into each one. The only way to do that is contact the experts. Slowly slowly.

Secondly, if you can point us to high quality vids of cutting edge software commentators we'd love to have a look.


The big picture is exactly what we're aiming for. Hopefully as the whole project unfolds it'll develop more clarity and become more comprehensive.

The Bitcoin discussion is currently the most productive and helpful.

We're not looking for praise or back-slapping, we don't deserve it yet. Just decent advice, criticism and weak-spot testing.

Keep it coming if you like...
