[b]Item 2: Looking at Feathercoin Differently with Merchants[/b]

I had a long talk with Wesphily today concerning merchant services and overall challenges. As you continue to develop merchant tools, we might want to look at Feathercoin in a different light with certain market segments.

Here’s the picture:

1. Merchant purchases bulk Feathercoin as a promotional item
2. The coin attracts a new market segment (younger, tech savy) and can be used for consumer loyalty
3. We could assign a team to help them convert it to BTC or BTC/USD if they want to cash it out
4. Depending on the merchant tools, we might be able to make this rather painless

Benefits to the merchant:

1. Accepting Feathercoin opens them to 6.6 million coins with nothing to spend it on
2. They could offer discounts (similar to online coupon codes) if you pay in Feathercoin

Thoughts?

Not so much an action as an opinion of ways to leverage the coin. Thoughts?
