I'm putting together a promo video for Riecoin now, should be ready later this week. I want to share the script and get some feedback - would be a better place to discuss in a dedicated Rieforum somewhere.
I think organizing bounties is a priority for sure. I've got RIC to contribute when that gets moving.
I'd be glad to read over the script, even if it has to be here for now.
I'm willing to get a block explorer set up (along with a static page of the total supply) for free simply because I have a stake in RIC, but I've never done it before. Should be a couple of days if it goes smoothly.
Is anyone willing to establish and moderate a forum? I'd contribute some RIC to that end
I can sure help moderate, read over material or anything of that nature. Not much good with anything that has to be programmed, or setting up forums, webpages but willing to do what I can wherever I can.
Already mailed Cryptsy about BTER about this. Cryptsy said they would have their folks take a look at it, Bter I've yet to get a reply from. They do have a ANN thread here for new coins. I suggested Riecoin there as well and suggest everyone else do the same:

I think the primary push here should be for miners. That's where the added value of Riecoin comes from ultimately. Having no centralization counts for a lot, but many coins offer that. So that's how I've tried to approach the video script.
I think in general the marketing of Riecoin should be done a bit like Seti@home. If we can offer an incredibly simple, prominently displayed method for the average person to mine and contribute, we may be able to attract people who are still really new to cryptos. That would be a huge advantage.
Video Script:
"Riecoin is a completely decentralized crypto currency build on Bitcoin offering an entirely new proof-of-work. Miners of Riecoin process transactions in the same way Bitcoin miners do, but the mining of Riecoins produces a byproduct that is of value to the scientific community - highly verified prime sextuplets, or prime numbers. The prime numbers generated by mining Riecoin are so well confirmed that eventually, if enough people contribute to the endeavor, all new blocks found would be record breaking new prime numbers 559 digits long! . . .The coin gets its name and algorithm from famous 19th century mathematician Bernard Riemann who hypothesized about the distribution of prime numbers. The data collected from Riecoin mining will benefit mathematicians everywhere working with primes and working to solve Riemann's hypothesis - a competitive endeavor that carries a prize of 1 million dollars! . . . Riecoin also functions as an advanced decentralized currency. Like Bitcoin, there is no central authority, no one can change the ledger or double spend. To safeguard a fair launch, the first 24hrs following Riecoin's release offered no reward. This novel approach allowed early miners to verify there was no premine and have their miners tested and running when the coins finally started flowing. Riemann's algorithm also provides a stable, predictable supply of new coins, so its well suited for payment systems and as an investment. Feel free to ask any questions you might have - the Riecoin community is always happy to help. . . If you'd like to support p2p decentralized currency and contribute to human knowledge through world record breaking mathematical research in prime numbers - help out by mining Riecoins today on your computer!"
This is the style I'll be able to provide for reference.
