Hello Community! As you might know we've done several events so far around the world to get the word of BlackCoin spread by showing face. TheDoge earlier went to the NY Crypto Con, StGNU ran around at the Toronto Bitcoin Conference and me, maarx and Vizique showed face at BitCoin 2014. Next to that is my own trip to Miami to meet the MaxBorgesAgency and not to forget Vizique' trip to the XBTerminal' Launch Party.
We are showing face and we feel like that is important for the growth of BlackCoin. Not only finding out about new cool projects within the Crypto Currency space, but actually talking to companies that could soon start supporting BlackCoin. Not only does it give trust to the company but it shows these companies that we are serious about BlackCoin.
In two weeks however another important conference is coming up, namely the Bitcoin in the Beltway 2014 conference in Washington DC. We are currently planning to show face there with me, TheDoge and StGNU as a team. However, there are costs.
We have the funds left from the Community Bounty Fund that we have set aside for exactly these things. However since the costs are a bit higher then the usual conference visit we'd like to know your thoughts.
The costs would be:
Flight Soepkip - 1300$
Hotel Soepkip* - 250$
Flight TheDoge - 170$
Hotel TheDoge* - 250$
2x Tickets - 600$
2570$ - BTC: ~ 4 BTC = 14200 BC
There is currently 20800 BC left in these funds, so that would leave us with 6600 BC for future usage. We'd like the approval of the community to use these funds for this trip.
To save costs me and TheDoge will share a room.

I'm personally fine with this. I think it would be good for them to show face.
Would like some reflection on it afterwards, though.
