Thanks for appearing on V the Guerrilla Economist's show on Revolution Radio. I pushed myself to start my wallet and buy bitcoin after ironing out some inconveniences converting bank cash into bitcoin via transfer.

[LiteCoinGuy]

Great to see you here on the forum as well!

Do you have any questions you think should be answered better for new people on the site?

Thanks, Roger.

I listened to both of the podcasts which are currently available.

This was the first time that I'd ever heard of Gavin Knight (not to be confused with Gavin Andresen).

Apparently Knight is a moderator at Reddit:



I also enjoyed the interview with Andreas Antonopoulos (which starts at approximately the 4:30 minutes marks).

I was also thankful for the information which I gathered from the interview of Erik Tristan Voorhees (co-founder of Coinapult) by Zach Doty regarding 'bitcoin classic' and the hard fork.

Thanks for replying.

Areas of concern from the viewpoint of a newcomer:

- Despite being touted as easy as email, there does exist a learning curve, in my personal experience, especially when having to find out how to convert cash from one's bank account to BTC and then withdrawing from the exchange to one's wallet for safekeeping. For me as a non-smartphone user this was how I got my first Bitcoin.

- General Security with the Wallet and proper/secure use of wallet addresses (like the one in my sig below) on one's blog or personal page to solicit donations where other traditional means have failed for various reasons

- An easier alternative to recover one's Wallet compared to, for example, the current Wallet Words for Multibit HD (the only type I use so far) without compromising security ( frequent crashes and losses should be anticipated, especially in my unfortunate experience its common to have poor quality IT hardware that rarely lasts beyond expiration of warranty)

- the problems faced by those who own a desktop PC/laptop but don't own smartphones for various reasons (cost, health concerns with wifi, avoiding smartphone addiction, privacy issues, etc) and therefore does not have the benefit of QR codes and 'anytime, anywhere' convenience, but sees the value of Bitcoin as a weapon against the Banking Cabal, investment vehicle (buy and hold), etc

- addressing general skepticism towards Bitcoin as an investment vehicle as it has a much shorter history than other forms of non-fiat money with much longer historical track records like Gold and Silver, plus its non-physical nature and volatility (the reason why I took a long time to decide to convert some of my cash to Bitcoin)

I believe there will be more later but these are the ones I could come up with without overheating my brain.

I enjoyed the first two podcasts. I think in one of the podcasts it was mentioned that this would be a weekly release schedule... but the last one was 15 days ago according to my podcast player.

Just wondering what the schedule will be! There are some great guests lined up and I am actually quite looking forward to some of those interviews...

[bitkilo]

Just listened to both podcast, very good, helps pass the time at work
Sounds was a little echoed but that may just be my cheap speakers.

Would anyone have time to convert some of the bigger AMA's we have hosted into podcasts?

[LiteCoinGuy]

hopefully we will have some more in the next weeks !

New podcast is up! https://www.bitcoin.com/podcast/all-things-blockcypher

Could we change the podcast format back to the old style so i can jump to a certain time of the show?

I listen to this while working sometimes, if i get a call and forget to pause it i have to now listen to the whole show again.

[rogerver]

It would be great if links were included for people to directly add it to their iTunes podcast feed as well.

Now this is a great idea.
Also all podcasts should end with the host mentioning that a forum topic has been created to continue the discussion.

With everyone always on the move these days i can see podcast being big, we should capitalise on this early.
