[b]3. Swarm Team[/b]
Those of you on my swarm team, thank you so much. With just a little bit of effort, we are able to make our presence known in full force. If you’re interested in spending just a min or two each week to make a difference with FTC, drop me a PM.
[b]4. UKMark’s Mobile Project[/b]
I don’t want to steal any of his thunder, so I’ll just say how excited I am for his upcoming announcement. This is a big deal that will make a difference as we start talking to more merchants as well as reaching out to impoverished communities around the world.
[b]5. Payswarm[/b]
As I mentioned in a previous post, I had a great first conversation with PaySwarm. I’m excited about continuing the conversation early next week. I encourage everyone to check out the Youtube link provided in the post below:

[b]6. Coin Market[/b]
Next week launches Coin Market Exchange. FTC was the 7th coin to be added and we’ll have a FTC/USD pairing. Both ChrisJ and myself have been in contact with the CEO to help promote the launch as well as address additional questions concerning deposit/withdrawal.

Ruth will be walking around with flyers this weekend, I’m contacting local newspapers, radio and tv trying to get someone to cover it as a human interest story.

9. CoinPayments.Net[/b]Discussing ideas with CoinPayments.net on ways to make Feathercoin more attractive to merchants. I’ve also sent an email to Big Vern over at Cryptsy to discuss how we could tie in the autosell feature:

[b]10. Feathercoin Wiki[/b]
Ghostlander was nice enough to update the Feathercoin Wiki to include ACP information:

[b]11. Feathercoin Market[/b]
Bushstar has mentioned needing to bring another developer aboard to assist with the Feathercoin Market. Once that baby is cleaned up a bit and escrow is streamlined, we’ll have quite a few options ahead of us (especially with brand new merchants).
[b]12. Social Media[/b]
Please make sure to help support Feathercoin’s social media push!

[b]13. Bitcoin Conference - Atlanta[/b]
Another major Bitcoin Conference will be in Atalanta in October. If we have someone in that area that’s willing to support us, fantastic! If not, I’m considering doing the same thing I did for NYC. With the FTC/USD and a few other announcements rolling out, it might be important that we have a presence. Chris J and Wesphily have discussed focusing on creating a great investor portfolio.

Interesting mining integration to the exchange.
[b]15. FTC Newsletter[/b]
If you’re interested in contributing to an FTC newsletter that goes out to all the forum members, please see ChrisJ or Wesphily. This has been something we’ve talked about in the past, it would be nice to see who would like to help contribute.
[b]16. Feathercoin Investment Portfolio[/b]
ChrisJ, Wesphily, Ruth and I have been talking about attracting outside investors for quite awhile now. ChrisJ mentioned he’ll bring it up as one of the topics at the Feathercoin for Beer event. In the meantime, hop on over here and hit us with your thoughts:
