[quote author=fjærmynt link=topic=4882.msg37231#msg37231 date=1385655830]I’m seriously considering quitting my job to pursue this, as I believe alt currencies can make a difference and the Feathercoin community can hold the torch and shed light through what is becoming a more and more hostile environment for all the wrong reasons.
Yes it’s going to be ambitious, but as someone famous once said: First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

+1 on this, If i didn’t have others to think about I’d go full time here.
& that last line sums up the history of feathercoin.
I like a lot whats been said on this thread, some of us are feeling useless at the moment but here is what we can do.
1. Help out on the forum, with new members, new miners, these guys are the blood of feathercoin.
2. Seek out news articles on feathercoin or ones that mention us, drop a small comment, show the press that these news items have readers.
3. Contact your local media (radio, newspaper, tv) tell them you’ll do an interview on feathercoin/cryptos and explain what its all about.
You don’t need to be great at interviews or be in marketing for this, media love interiewing the average joe.
[/quote]Point 3. Is something any of us can do, If you want the Feathercoin name to be heard we are the people to make it happen… :)
[size=8pt]Pyxis, I did not edit your post… I hit modify instead of quote…sorry.[/size]

Number three is the most important and the easiest as any of us can do it. If you believe in Feathercoin; tell people about it. Tell your friends and family and anyone you meet about it. Not only is it in your own interests to promote FTC, but I also believe it will be in theirs if they’d like to make a bit of cash and possibly a lot. Cryptocurrencies are always a good talking/conversation point, and who doesn’t like to tell people that they trade currency? ;). To promote it to people who are skeptical or apprehensive; give 'em a coin or two if you can afford it. You could also give coins away as a gift/present and tell them about how it’s a potentially great investment opportunity. Advise them to keep an eye on the value of it frequently, or even just check it once a month or so to see how it’s doing. I’m sure they will be pleasantly surprised.

I would be interested in distributing some information … Few quick ideas:
I am an eBay seller who trades in retro computer games. I could include a leaflet in every package I send out for instance.
I could also distribute leaflets via the local newspaper promoting Feathercoin
YouTube is a massive area to exploit too. Create videos and lots of them but maybe instead of boring informative videos though something could be done more with trying to create viral vids which then advertise Feathercoin
We could all do our bit

I like the idea of giving away ftc’s especially this Christmas. It’s a perfect way to open the door and introduce people to cryptocurrencies. I have personally been involved with the cryptocurrency economy for 4 months and have poured myself into learning and rapping my mind around this. It is not easy to do. It’s like taking a drink from a fire hose. IT definitely takes consistent, small bites of information that build on each other.
For those that are tech savvy and understand script, the other one bitcoin uses, the differences between cenyralized and decentralized currency, online wallets and therr standen a encrypto passcode to have access, ability to go on the exchanges and purchase ftc, btc, ltc etc…, qe,1,2,3 and forever, the debt ceiling and hiw it will always go up, the federal reserve not being a part of the US Government but actually is a business that has stock holders and nobody knows who runs it etc…the list goes on and on
would be like me taking the great minds on here that fully understand mining, cryptocurrencies, programming and throwing you in my Kitchen on a busy evening expecting great results…its not foing to happen. We, as a team, need to boil cryptocurrencies down to a 1st grade level. Once that someone gets the basics and the lightbulb goes off, its only full force ahead with the masses…and thats what we want and need, a currency the masses can use.
just my thoughts… -
Anybody interested in helping out please add yourself to this thread [url=http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,5200.0.html]http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,5200.0.html[/url]
Even if you just have an idea :) Thanks

[/quote]I think you are correct, it is amazing to see how many people still haven’t even heard of Bitcoin, leave alone FTC.
The biggest problem is, we now have these ex-Federal Bank officials and other bankers/influential financial people saying how bad BTC and derived currencies are… And that is probably the only information that a large portion of the population has received on the subject! When I am a normal guy who has never heard about Bitcoin, and suddenly highly ranked officials are telling me that this is a huge bubble with no intrinsic value whatsoever, do you think I would ever even consider Bitcoin or cryptocurrency as a whole again?
We might go out there and search for objective information on the matter but fact is, MANY people don’t and will take this news for solid fact…
