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.

For ~ 18k BC , we can get McKie, TheDoge, Soepkip in Washington. We already have this money we just need approval.

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.

I think Soepkip should only represent Blackcoin in Europe to limit the costs. This would enable more future representations. Don't spend everything right now, as we need a future!  Wink

what are the arguments for flying soepkip to the US (a 2nd time)? Wouldn't it be better to have 3 local US guys represent BlackCoin for the price of 1 soepkip?
There are many leaders here in the BlackCoin community that could represent us. soepkip could sit this one out.

I would prefer if Soepkips expenses go toward development and to limit his travel to Europe to cut travel expenses and boost development.
