Bitcoiners don't throw away money.  It is very unlikely that this will have any kind of benefit.  There should be more of a focus on persuading policy makers and merchants to be Bitcoin friendly than raising awareness among those who will do nothing for the currency


To make bitcoin recognized by merchants is to also make everyone aware of it.

The Association of Fashion Designers - Kenya (www.afdk.co.ke), in conjunction with Mcensal School of Fashion (www.msf.co.ke) are in the process of organizing the Safari Fashion Runway Reality TV Show (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Safari-Fashion-Runway/655365057868254) of which the auditions have already been done. The traditional funding sources seem to want to buy out the idea, as is usual with most business sharks. So I suggested to them that they could get funding from the bitcoin community.  Grin

As posted on reddit www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2bm0rb/crowdfunding_opportunity_to_bring_bitcoin_to_high/ :
There is this Fashion Show coming up soon to TV in East Africa, and so far, it seems the traditional funding mechanisms are not working optimally. The Financiers want to buy off the show from its creators, at a very poor rate. My "brilliant" Idea is to have the bitcoin community fund it. With 384 BTC at today's rate, we get to be the prime sponsors and we get: *Main event sponsor and inclusion in event title.

  • Brand visibility on all materials- posters, fliers, banners, backdrop, tickets, and website etc.
  • Your logo (max size: 250x125) will be displayed on our AFAD-K thank you page with links to your website or other related pages
  • Coupons or advertising on the reverse side of tickets

  • Opening and closing sponsorship board
  • Logo through out the program
  • Squeeze back for your products

Since am rather new in this scene, there could be trust issues, and since some of the greatest beneficiaries of such a move would be bitpesa.co, I suggest that they handle the due diligence and actual implementation.

Lets do this!
