Couple of points: I've stressed that we need a stand with some form of sunlight for the RaspPiSolar, the conference people (who are, so far, totally interested in NXT, btw) think it's a brilliant idea and are going to help as much as possible with stand placement.
Apparently the entire crypto world is going to be attending, this is shaping up to be the biggest BTC conference ever organised (according to the over-worked organisers):

The solarPI is great, but will anything be forged in the demonstration? ;P must be a fat wallet

Good point....need access to very fat wallet. Would any whales be willing to step up and give us access for forging ?
Maybe the unclaimed coins ? Promise not to run off to Costa Rica as soon as the conference ends. Grin

What happens if you don't forge a cent with a big wallet? They laugh. Maybe play the "it's not about mining/forging" card and watch how the crowd reacts.

Mining does not equal forging. I could be pool mining some pump and dump alt right now, but it is not even worth the time to compete with the mindless mining masses. Instead I am forging on the Nxt network, helping secure the Nxt network.

Also, it took a few minutes to download, sync, and verify the entire Nxt blockchain. Try doing that with the bloated 16GB Bitcoin blockchain.

The main features of the Nxt cryptocurrency ecosystem should be emphasized with the Raspi display. Generate Authentication Tokens, Demonstrate the Asset Exchange System, Send an Arbitrary Message, Explain Transparent Forging, etc.

The Nxt raspi is not a Mining Rig. "But it also functions as a space heater the miners claim! I heat my home with it!"

The Nxt network is sustainable, and future proof. No other cryptocurrency is. Forget about trying to appeal to the miners with their space heater mentality. Nxt has a lean code base, fast transactions times, is scalable, and most importantly; the Nxt cryptocurrency is a vibrant and rapidly developing community.
