Finally, some good news, albeit I've encountered an issue on my end due to the printing of the banner by my local printer. The banner was supposed to be finished today, but received a phone call stating that it'll be delayed till Friday due to lack of employees Monday and Tuesday because of the extremely low temperatures here in Northern Illinois. I cancelled the order, for fear it'll be too late to receive, then still have to ship to a yet unknown Super Bowl XLVIII attendee.

I came here now to express the above, but was greeted by your wonderful post.

But, there's still a solution if you're so game: I'll send you the graphic file, whereupon you'll have the printing done locally, of which I will pay FULLY via BTC for the printing of the banner and whatever other charges associated with doing such amounts to. For reference purposes, the cost associated for doing such here in Illinois is $54 USD for a one-sided, three foot square banner. I ordered two banners with the intent of sewing them together, thus making it a two-sided banner, but feel free to forego the two-sided option unless you feel advantageous.

After posting this, I'm going to PM you so that we can work out all the details if you're still inclined. I took the liberty and read some of your post history, and feel very confident with you, not taking time to do any further vetting.

I'll assume you'll do your damndest to somehow get this quasi-Bitcoin-themed banner broadcasted on FOX and seen by it's 100M+ viewers during Super Bowl XLVIII. As I've mentioned, afterward you'll get to keep the banner to do with it as you wish. Bear in mind, it'll be worth a helluva lot more if all goes to plan.

Thank you, bud.

Do you have a sign for the Broncos? A friend of mine (real estate broker who accepts bitcoin) is vlogging his journey to the superbowl (flight, hotel, ticks, food/beer, etc.)  using only bitcoin. I'd love to have him hold up a sign and support.

I am staying at the Waldorf Astoria.  If you would like to have the banner sent to the front desk that works for me.

<BCB> TheButterZone: sure.  Have him hit me up
<BCB> TheButterZone: I could get it printed a kinkos
<BCB> I've had them do banners before

I know vinyl banners exist, not sure if FedEx Kinko's are vinyl though.

just wanted to tell you - it does not scan with my apps. running Nexus 5/ ZXing Barcode scanner scanning from big computer screen.

Boy, I must have been tired last night when I penned the above reply. I would have shown you were asking if it's scannable oppose to raising a concern, of which I will now address.

Most phones were able to scan it, with a handful unable to, hence adding the Google tiny URL, http://goo.gl/QyGh8p, during the graphic designing process to thwart any issues that may arise to the QR-Code's readability.

Thanks, apetersson, nevertheless, for bringing this to our attention.

I'm hyped! Are you waiting for a call, because you sent a request. Or are you already waiting for a notification that it is ready to be picked up?


I really don't understand how than can happen with a Nexus 5. I downloaded ZXing Barcode scanner and it scanned instantly (monitor & laptop screen). Less than a second - and I have a Nexus 4. Maybe the app or phone is broken, otherwise it should definitely scan.

The problem always is with phones that have a very bad camera (>3MP), so a Nexus 5 should have no problem at all. There are also some poorly code apps. Google Goggles is the best QR reader that I've tried so far.
