It's just a coincidence. I do not think it is that fast to figure out how to deposit money into mtgox and start buying bitcoin within a day.(correct me if I am wrong)

That may be so. That may be not.

Anyway, it's the standard: "I think reason x cause y change in Bitcoin price!"

It's all ad hoc. It's correlation. That does not prove causation.

I am glad we finally get to empty the longest running bounty wallet in bitcoin history .

Unless anyone has any objections this will happen in the next few days.

Ideally if we were to add it to the bitcoin.org home page, it would be nice to keep it neutral and edit the last part of the video to mention bitcoin.org instead of the author's site.

Great video though! Well done!

This video is the product of their work.  I won't blame them for taking credit for it and putting their own website link at the end.

So I don't think it is necessary to edit the video.  However, a small textual note could be added above the video, saying that this video was not done by members of the bitcoin.org community.

Members of the bitcoin community? sure.  Members of the bitcoin.org community?  Not so sure.

Otherwise they would have mentionned bitcoin.org at the end of their video.

But again:  it's ok if they mention their own website.  It is their work after all.  But if we want to use this video, it worths warning the viewer.

They just are not the same people.

I just think that if, on bitcoin.org, we use a video that redirects to weusebitcoin.com, then the visitor can be confused, and thus we should give some eplanation.

PS.  We could place the video with an introduction such as:

Here is a short indroduction video made by our fellows on weusebitcoin.com:

Addressing a few points people have raised:

Tempo. What hazek said is exactly what the professionals were saying as well. No way you can "explain" Bitcoin to a lay person without a lot of time and repetition. The video could be much slower and no more clearer. But that's fine, people can rewatch it, go to the site, go to the wiki, watch other videos, etc. All this video needs to do is pique interest and convincingly state that Bitcoin really is different and worth looking into. Future videos would put much more emphasis on actually explaining, so they'd likely be much longer, much slower and less visually dense.

(I actually started out envisioning this as a ~4 minute video, but every single one of the marketing and film people I talked to, including the designers recommended this tempo. There is a reason advertising is always a bit faster, louder, etc. than is necessarily comfortable - it's because that's what works.)

Link. The video links to weusecoins.com because we wanted a site that specifically picks people up where the video left off. It'll also be a place for us to post future videos. As for the bitcoin.org front page - if we win the bounty and the interest is large enough we can get the last sentence re-recorded and do a version saying bitcoin.org. Also note: Due to the license anybody can go to Chris Rice and have him record that sentence and create a version of the video with whatever link they like. (I'd ask that the weusecoins.com should still be in the small print to give us a little credit.)

Website. Some people have already made suggestions for weusecoins.com. I'm reading those intently and will implement them as soon as possible. Thanks, guys!

Everyone who has sent PMs: I'm working through those right now, stay tuned and thanks for the interest.

By the way, provide us the synchronized subtitles so we can translate it to other languages.
