Might there be some small third world country, perhaps an island, which BitShares could acquire (I didn't mean that), which might have less in the way of bureaucratic hoops and more in the way of truly wanting to save money on an election? No dictators with pre-marked ballots, but if a nation that has relatively fair elections + Internet access was carefully chosen, it could be a huge PR deal. Remember how big AuroraCoin was for a few weeks there, permeating even the popular media that wasn't interested in Bitcoin? This could be bigger if it struck the right chords.

Did you guys just crash the workshop? I didn't see you on the tentative schedule laid out by CACEO?

How do you plan to curb CalVoter/VoteCal initiatives?

Which Ca legislators were there? Were there any State Senators or Assembly members you came in contact with? And which ones?

In speaking with some folks at the conference, it seems the VoteCal project is about 75% done and the Secretary of State's office is determined to push through to completion. Thus, we have no plans to stand in their way. But, from what I understand, it's been a costly project and exhaustive process to get to this point. With this in mind, one thing we can do is focus on developing a superior product, rendering their solution obsolete, and make a push adoption. If all else fails, there may be an integration opportunity.

We were registered as an official exhibitor for CACEO's Joint New Law Workshop and Seminar. We've posted a couple of photos to our Facebook page of us at our booth, with many more pics to come. Staying true to our nonpartisan roots, we met with representatives for State Assembly members from both sides of the isle, while we were there. We also had dinner with a key county registrar in CA and spoke at length with few folks with close ties to the Secretary of State's office.

I won't be mentioning elected officials that we've connected with by name here on the forums; but, if you would like to discuss over a Skype call, I will disclose more details if deemed appropriate. However, anyone that has paid close attention to our social media profiles will see that we've been working day and night to make connections in all levels of government (including Governors, Congressmen and US Senators from multiple states) to secure support for what we are doing.

We've gained tremendous exposure and praise for our project since becoming CAVO's only corporate member. Although BTS is our top priority at present, we will continue explore opportunities in CA and other key states that express interest down the road.

Asking the tough questions! I'm curious about the legislators as well.

Tough questions indeed. I am curious too as I know a lot of people at the CA state Capitol.

I'd suggest short term priorities are to get BTS known as widely as possible; and talk up bitUSD and other bit-assets that are available already. Future DACs are for later. If BitShares can establish itself as the dominate asset market, then it will prevent others stealing our thunder. On the back of an established and sizeable asset market, other DACs will become easier to sell. The hard work marketing is needed now, getting traction before BitShares is just one among many. If bitUSD and others like bitGBP and bitCAD are not there in time, then central banks might opt to do something themselves that could compromise those markets.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with you wholeheartedly here. The time is now! I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make BTS and bitUSD a success.

Adam, you're approved on the main Google marketing list.  I use hpenvy or my twitter which is Bitcoinboost.

.. welcome back ..

do you have some documentation of the demo? is it possible to see it in action?

Will has plans to create a youtube video that will feature clips from the actual presentation/demo we did in California and pictures taken before during and after the event. I'm traveling this week with family. I'm actually tethering through my cell phone right now, working as we drive through the mountains of West Virginia. When I get back in the office, I plan to fire up the software and create a youtube slideshow video of my own, narrating the presentation that I gave prior to the demo that will segue into a live demo of the software, which I will narrate as well. We plan to use both youtube videos for marketing purposes.

Great news, especially push-back from the establishment. Means you are heading in the right direction...
