Bitcoin: So easy you don't even need arms!

Lol!!!  I didn't even notice that they didn't have arms!  Now when I look at the picture, I just see a bunch of "i"s.

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT DRAFT SKETCH!!!  I am soooo glad that you are using pictographs to communicate the concepts behind bitcoin.  PICTURES are the universal language.  Keep in mind that we intend people from all over the world to be using bitcoin, so it is important that is is easy for people of different languages and different cognitive skills and knowledge backgrounds to understand it.  If/when you do add text, make sure the text is simple, does not use complicated vocab, and can be easily translatable.

I used synfig once to do small animation on the wikipedia page about time travel.  Check it out there :  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_travel#Ideas_from_fiction

I'd like to do something similar for bitcoin.
 
First, we explain the current banking model with a classic Alice and Bob situation :


Then we show how such a model tends to make people dependant on a highly centralized organisation :

We explain that such centralisation induces complexity and therefore costs.

Thus we introduce the P2P model, getting rid of the bank :


We explain that everynode receive every single transactions, and in order to determin who will play the role of the bank, we have them perform a CPU spending task :

 
Finally we explain what happens when a node has finally performed this task :



This is just a first draft, but it's the global way I see it.

Suggestions welcome.
