Merchant Survey?
-
Can we get members who are familiar with store owners/merchants that are willing to answer a question or two, to ask them if asked to add Feathercoin as a payment, why or why would they not add it?
I think this would be a good way to gauge and pin point our focus on areas that shop owners are most fearful of. For example, some answers they might give are:
If they’d accept Feathercion:
- gets us more customers
- secure
- interesting
- hassle-free
If they wouldn’t accept:
- I don’t understand it
- security issues
- too complicated
- scam
- not enough users
- price fluctuations
- converting to fiat
I think the best way to cater to merchants is knowing what they like and don’t like, so this would seem like a helpful side project as we await the merchant tools.

Please add issues with cashing out, price fluctuations and price unpredictability.
[/quote]That wasn’t a compiled list of concerns haha, those were just examples of what we’d hear from the surveys :P
And sounds good wesphily, point of the matter is, anything we can do to get feedback for adoption is a plus for getting merchants to add Feathercoin :)

Yea I wasn’t thinking of messaging merchants at random asking them for their opinion. Rather I posted this in hopes that, if anyone they know runs or owns some sort of business, if they could ask that person personally their opinion and thoughts if they were to be asked to accept something like Feathercoin for payments.
