These talks were not filmed.  I got audio for more than half of them which will eventually appear on Let's Talk Bitcoin! but Inside Bitcoins does not like their events to be filmed. 

The openness of bitcoin is becoming more and more closed. That is really sad to me.

Yes it really upsets me too... Sad

I agree that it should not be difficult, or any real problem at all, to film a bitcoin conference.

This is bitcoin. The people involved at this stage are generally quite tech savvy by nature.

Put a video camera on a tripod, point it in the general area of the speaker, and hit record.

Later, upload the video online and publish the link on this forum.

This isn't difficult shit.

And yet I was the only person to even get audio much less video of even half the talks at the recent Vegas event.

This.  Everyone of these events has been an opportunity to generate interest and advance knowledge to a wide audience - to an infinite future audience once archived on Youtube.  Unfortunately, this is clearly something that the cabal who run these things does not want to happen.  When you consider that these events inevitably comprise gatherings of many of the most inovative and able people in tech, it's a fucking disgrace. 

I believe all public Bitcoin events, without exception, should be streamed live in HD, and I've kicked off about this in the past.  Clearly, this just doesn't serve the interests of those who make sure to serve their interests, otherwise it'd simply be the way of things.

Are you going to pay for that?  It costs money you know, and takes time before you go crying conspiracy.

My team filmed the Georgia Cryptocurrency event because I completely agree with you and found it horrendous my talk at the New York event wasn't filmed.   We pre-sold tickets to pay for the crew and managed to break even with a rinky-dink production and about 160 people purchasing the passes.    We then released the videos for free on December 1st

Maybe I would, no one's ever asked.  That being said, I'm not proposing a feature film, just a static broadcast (what on earth does this 'crew' you speak of do?). I get the impression you've not actually seen the standard of live streaming that is achieved these days by a few kids and a wifi-GoPro.

Sounds like it's incredibly easy.  Where do you live Zooey?  I vote you film and distribute the next event in your region since you can get it done for free.

The good news is that is an incorrect assessment, literally MediaBistro just does not care about filming their events and doing such a thing in Las Vegas means hiring a union crew and incurring quite a bit of cost.  We were going to be providing that service to them until we learned about the union requirement.

Ohh ok

Post them here and I will try to add them to OP so we can have one thread that holds all them for easy lookup.
