Topic: The Bitcoin Bus - We will print it on a real bus! - page 3. (Read 13949 times)

Yes it is hard to imagine how some cheap plastics slapped on a bus would cost that much. But they probably know it is an great advertising method and therefore the price.

Damn! For some odd reason I was under the impression that the ad would stay up much longer than that. Not a deal breaker for me, and will continue to support you, but damn!

And on that remark, here is another example.



From what I can read, and the people I talked to, I think we can manage to get a great deal for 4 weeks, IF we get all the pixels filled up. But right now, One week maybe 2-3 days is the goal, depending on how things develop.

Of course I am not saying that - every person in the world doesn't take bitcoin deposits. 

But it's not ridiculous when you combine it with anonymity.  A person starts a bitcoin service and remains anonymous to keep the option open of one day committing theft and getting away with it easily.  I'd love to hear other reasoning, but I won't comment further in this thread, as I don't want to derail it any further.

Just put CoinDL on the Bus! Best of luck to Kris with this project...I'd really like to see an IRL picture of it when it happens.

Great idea! Will you be selling physical Bitcoins to people from the bus? That would be cool.

I will try and email them, see what they say.

That would be a first! 

There's the hacker bus tour right now where you can pay cash to get bitcoins should it come to your euro town
http://www.hackerbus.eu/

Organized by the guy who runs Torservers.net ... haven't seen the design maye he could use your bitcoin ad (:

Bob: Father Christopher, the Church needs a new paint job.
Father Christopher: And?
Bob: (After a short pause.) New plants around the Church would be nice.
Father Christopher: AND?
Bob: (Still puzzled.) A new organ?
Father Christopher: AND?
Bob: (Gets it!) Four young lads have recently become members.
Father Christopher: (Drooling) Fetch me the checkbook, Bob.

Tomorrow, I'll post a conversation with the Dalai Lama.

Unless you're first to do this: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/719475/media_intergration_t_shirt_video_screen_shirt/

You're saying that there doesn't exist a single honest person in the world. That's ridiculous.

Awesome idea. Good luck!

You are more then welcome to pitch in on this address: 1MjyWLY1Rvx7rtqKwymA6Mo1gXF1UaFB8G

For one full side of the bus, we would need ฿2,113.20 in terms of ฿0.30 per 10 x 10 pixel block

I am betting on some big players, buying big spots, or like austonst idea, which is also awesome by the way.

Yes I would like to place the finished pixel image on the bus, hopefully both sides and the back.

Kris, you _could_ have edited those terms that you copied from other site. I guess no paint in a bus can be animated

I think it would be better to gather bitcoins to buy several bigger btc-related ads/images to be printed on a bus rather than 1000s of small ads that nobody can read. A big "BITCOIN"-text on a side of a bus for example. And everyone pays a little bit of the ad and you could see progress somewhere etc.


Anduck

Can you clarify a few things Kris. You are proposing a bus covered in hundreds of small ads. If everyone buys the minimum 100 pixels, then there will be 15,983 ads on the bus. Are you sure such ads will be even readable on a moving bus?

Maybe the minimum purchase should be 1000 pixels? That would mean 1598 ads on the bus, which is still a lot for people to read on a moving object.

I'll assume that the contact info is in the form of an image to ward of email scrappers, though that no longer works since the advent of imagereaders to overcome that ploy.

That said, I'm happy to report that finding Kris would not be a problem for, as another user has already pointed out, he's not that hard to find. Although I won't post any of my findings, one can easily locate his home address, see family members, and know what kind of dog he owns.


This post alone, Kris, should get a few more pixels sold, thus helping to get this bus out of the mud.

For clarification purposes, is it the finished sold pixel image the one that is going to be placed on some bus, or some other content? I'm referencing the following image from the Million Dollar Homepage as an example of what I'm inquiring about.



Although I'm well aware that this project of yours is meant to bring more awareness to Bitcoin, and the following suggestion may be premature at this stage of the bus-idea-game, but I'll offer it up nonetheless.

Warning!: Justin Bieber is about to mentioned by me--again. Please bear in mind that he's used only as an example.

(possibly for the States or Canada) Picture, if you will, the first ever fan generated, pixelated advertised bus, where all the pixels MUST be purchased with Bitcoin. A true fan would bend over backwards to lay their hands on bitcoins so that they won't miss out on this unique opportunity. Sound far-fetched! Then the person reading this isn't thinking outside their mining rig. (I reckon I didn't have to use his name after all)

Thank you sir, but to succeed I need your help and other people's help.
