Bitcoin-themed banner to be waved during Super Bowl XLVIII in MetLife Stadium.

Merited by Cryptopher (1)

Two bounties have already been paid out to those whom inspired the design, and one bounty to Bitcoinwunder for his professional and speedy efforts to bring all the design elements to fruition.

What's left to do:

Reverse side of the banner shouldn't remain blank, thus a design is needed.
Have the banner physically made.
Find a Bitcoiner who's attending the Super Bowl.
Deliver the banner to s/him.
Watch and record the Super Bowl to see the banner in motion.
Post videos of the banner being waved during Super Bowl XLVIII.
Proud owner of the sign sells banner for bitcoins.
Re-watch all the Super Bowl XLVIII commercials.
Work on Bitcoin-themed banner to be place on top of Mt. Everest this summer while a pizza is ordered to be paid for with bitcoins.

Feel free to chime in or PM me, any Bitcoiner, if you desire to lend a hand with any of what's outlined above. You wouldn't believe the hours I have in this thing, let alone the hours yet to be put in, but am having a blast doing it.

The game will feature the league's top offense (Denver) vs. the top defense (Seattle),[7] which has not occurred since Super Bowl XXXVII.

(Speak about of an immovable object (The Fed) meeting an unstoppable force (Bitcoin))

Take a look at http://store.richardsherman25.com/ and see how many design elements were gleaned off Richard Sherman's swag that I cleverly had incorporated into the banner design. Can you also recognize all the other symbolisms I have in place in the banner below?

I do have possession of the file so that when the physical banner is ready to be made, it'll be passed to the maker.

To be clear, I'm not planning on being the one selected to go to the Super Bowl and wave this Bitcoin-themed banner myself, but if I can't find some other Bitcoiner attending, I guess I'll have to do it. And, I will make sure that Richard Sherman signs it after the Seattle Seahawks win the game. (nothing against Denver, for it's a Bitcoin thing now)

Meanwhile, a $100 USD via BTC is now in place: https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/429446.0

I desire a countdown clock depicting time left till kickoff that's able to be embedded in posts on this forum.

Would have changed the odds on this:

Well done and thanks for your efforts. What wallet is the QR code for? You say

"Reverse side of the banner shouldn't remain blank, thus a design is needed."

I suggest just have the banner be the same on both sides, you never know what angle the cameras will be looking from and this way no more design is needed.

Good luck

Exactly what I'm going to do, for I read the same advice on Reddit penned by you or some other.

I have a local printer printing the banner, so that's outta the way.

The only thing left to do is find a fellow Bitcoiner attending the Super Bowl. Anybody?

Do they have to be a bitcoiner? I'm sure someone going to the game would be willing to wave a sign around if there was some sort of reward. A craigslist ad might find someone willing to do it for a small reward, even someone who would take btc who hasn't yet started using btc

This option is not outside the realm of possibility, but we would need to make sure that the banner waver doesn't get bored with the whole ordeal after only a couple minutes of waving, thinking what's the point, since s/he not a Bitcoiner. Whereas, I would wave the the banner like a motherfucker during the entire game as close to any camera I can near.

If it weren't for the really stringent security measures that are going to be in place, I would be pretty certain the bitcoin banner would make an appearance. But I think the government basically wants to cavity search every person entering the perimeter. So... how you gonna get a banner past all that bull shit?

Fold it up and carry it in a bag. I know Gilette Stadium allows one small bag per person, I'm assuming met life stadium has a similar rule. They will probably make you open it, but a banner folded up wouldn't be something they're going to stop you for. It's going to be a cold night anyway so most people will be bringing ponchos, blankets,etc. Shouldnt be to hard.

Guys, it's made of fabric, hence wearing it in as an added layer of clothing worn due to the frigid temperatures expected during game day. This seriously is not an issue! No detector that security will have on hand would detect it--no metal or moving parts.
