        I have been thinking about this initiative and I think it’s great that we raise awareness of our currency if our intention is long term sustainable growth in adoption. Where it may invite criticism is if people taking part are seen to be ‘selling out’ their friends.

        This argument is often made because it’s so difficult to keep a message relevant when sent out to a large number of people. How does the person inviting their 1,000 friends know that it will be interesting to each and every one of them?

        But it seems to me that what FTClover is inviting them to is an event, not our actual page (therefore not violating FB’s terms) and that event is a call to action that involves people using their personal billboards (FB avatars) as advertising space. Which that person would have due time to consider.

        As long as the outcome is lots of people learning about something they might be interested in rather than wasting their time with an unsolicited message that they weren’t expecting I think we’re ok but I will take feedback from the rest of the community and consider any counter arguments.

          This is often described as Permission Marketing vs Interruption Marketing. Interruption Marketing is viewed as bad based on the assumption that advert is just a recommendation from someone you don’t trust. And therefore wastes people’s most finite commodity; time. Because we never get it back again anything that ‘steals’ it can be considered theft by people like Doc Searls et al. Though this viewpoint is still on the fringe of thought and most companies regularly use up people’s time in order to drive up sales.

                I suppose… I do have a fb page with over 3000 friends which I’ve invited all to and also have a twitter withabout 2000 followers which I have yet to utilize… but its entirely possible for many people to have that many friends. .

                Maybe I should lower the requirement to 300 ???

                  You could also invite people to join your event and explain to people if they are worried about offending their friends get to them give an explanation in a post to tell people why this is important.

                  People don’t mind being interrupted if the message important to someone, which in this case it is to us. But as I have quoted before “People don’t buy [i]what[/i] you do they buy [i]why[/i] you do it.” (Simon Sinek).

                  If the message you are giving people feels serendipitous (something like a happy accident), like "oh this wasn’t what I was looking for but now I know about it I am glad I was told - then I think you are on to a winner.

                    Why even reply if you don’t want to get involved in what he’s doing–

                    Because communicating [i]why[/i] something isn’t working is very important to negate that non-interest or laziness argument that will come up later after someone’s project has been spurned.

                      The feathercoin price against bitcoin has been very stable the past week or so… is it always like that? And the ftc I’ve put aside for this reward still hasn’t been touched!! Come on people ::)

                        Besides, I’m not sure my current mistress would understand why .33 cents worth of crypto-currency (at current market valuation) is worth the heartache.

                          I don’t Twitter much (never liked it), but I do have more than 4,000 followers on Tumblr between two accounts. It’s why I started the FTC blogs there (which haven’t made a post since I turned them over ::)).
