This conference is a huge success.
I can't count how many VC company execs and decision makers at various payment companies I spoke with today.
I set up more blockchain.info mobile wallets than I can count, and gave each person 0.01 BTC to get them started seeing how easy it was to use.
Everyone was super interested and were brainstorming ideas on how they can use Bitcoin in their current business model.

I am sure lots of new products will come into existence thanks to this conference.

Awesome shit boys.

The bitinstant boys were certainly busy and this time, unlike CES, I noticed most of the people coming up and talking to them really knew what they were talking about.  Maybe I got lucky, but a guy asks about limits, claims he already has bought bitcoins, wonders what they think the price in the future will be, etc.  Another had bitcoins in a blockchain.info wallet and was firing them on satoshidice while we watched the live feedback from both a laptop with recent bets streaming and his phone-wallet.  Others inquired about bitinstant merchant services - from the short time I was there it seems to me like the buzz around the room was there, something I didn't feel in CES.  Again, small sample size, and this conference seems more likely to have bitcoin on the various entities' radars, and bitcoin maybe grew up that much more since whenever CES was.

Having a bitcoin presence in these conferences make me very happy.   Seeing an increase in understanding of bitcoin was even more awesome.

going to have Charlie Sherm on representing the bitcoin foundation on DD radio on the 31st of this month, was glad to meet him.

obv the Paypal giant super-booth that you have already seen:



and "Mastercard worldwide" on the other side:




and obviously just for the lulz




Was awesome to meet Erik, to shake the hand of the blockchain blower-upper himself, and of course the operator of the most popular BTC gaming product ever. 

Keep spreading the BTC gospel boys!  Awesome setup, hope bitinstant prospers and anyone needing to make SealsWithClubs deposits I always refer them to bitinstant first.

Being close to PayPal was a fantastic idea. They have a HUGE customer base. I would imagine being close to them further legitimizes BitCoin, and peaks a lot of interest. Plus, it gets you closer to the people of influence. I hope you guys get a lot of attention. Very well executed!

Agree !

You guys work hard for sure, this is so awesome, you must keep up with the hard work !  Bitcoin community needs you, and more peoples like you, that gives everything for the success of BTC !

You rule !  have a nice time there

nice gfx of Charlie here    (From featured speaker)

Very cool! I'd wish I could be there to meet you 

This Again.
Congratulations this is amazing.

It's amazing!!!

This is great. great publicity. I am soon going to venture into the UK market with a bitinstant concept and I hope one day I will have a "meanwhile in UK" picture of the exact same thing. This is what bitcoin needs, some positive publicity that it is a meaningful currency without a single cannabis leaf insight.

I have never been to the Aria, but hear that all the rooms are outfitted with a commercial version of a home automation system called "Control4", another pet hobby of mine.

Great strategy guys!
We do this with our competition too at conventions.  They hate it!
Good Luck!

Heading over the Aria now, can't wait to meet you guys

The booth looks great!

I agree with this niko.  We won't be throwing tomatoes or anything at them, don't worry   We're here to make friends, not enemies, because we'll have enough enemies as it is.

Charlie, Roger, Erik ... I love you and I want to give you money.

WOW, you are great.

Awsome,

simply awsome!!!

Good luck guys!

spiccioli

Yankee,

I want to underline that i always liked the professionalism that you put in presenting yourself.

You are one of the best PR we have.

As much as all of us here understand the clever ideas behind Bitcoin, and as much most of us have vested interest and biases, we should try to see things from outsider's perspective. Presently Bitcoin is an obscure, niche experiment in p2p networking and economics. Smart people from PayPal and and similar corporations, even from governments, will appreciate and embrace the underlying innovations only if we help them to.  Bitcoiners bashing on big guys at this moment seems pathetic and laughable, and in case is not productive.

 , I want to see that

Wow, good luck.  Would love to stop by but not in Vegas this week, damit.
