Topic: Help Us Spread Bitcoin to Every Corner of the Globe (Read 1194 times)

Nice one! We can sit and wait for merchants to accept bitcoin but then it will take forever.

A lot merchants don't know much about bitcoin, beside hearing that it reached $1000 mark, or the mtgox tragedy in the news.
Good idea to tell them how safe it is, and also how easy. If they like it, they will use it

Very cool. Some professional literature would be the biggest help with this. My wife teaches document design but neither of us knows enough to put together bit coin literature for dissemination. 

Thanks for the work on this. I didn't comment after first glance because all the links at the bottom were 'under construction'. I see now you're slowly building it up.

I'll be checking the site regularly and send you anything that I think would be helpful.
Thanks again for the effort!

The Bitcoin Adoption Alliance (BAA) is a loosely structured coalition of Bitcoin enthusiasts who are actively involved in advancing the goal of widespread merchant adoption of Bitcoin as an accepted payment method. The BAA can further its goals both through individual actions as well as coordinated efforts.

In the spirit of decentralization, we think of BitcoinAdoption.org as separate from the alliance itself. We prefer everyone be a self-leader. Rather than speaking for the community, this website is simply a portal that provides resources to help achieve our common goals, as well as a channel to facilitate organization.

Here are a few of the possible ways that BitcoinAdoption.org intends to further the goals of the BAA:

    Petitions: We can link to petitions for various corporations to start accepting payments in Bitcoin.
    Incentives: We can link to incentive programs and contests that community members run, as well as help manage incentive programs that others wish to create.
    Literature: We can publish or link to materials used to educate a) the populace about the benefits of using Bitcoin, b) merchants about the benefits of accepting Bitcoin, and c) alliance members about the best practices to recruit merchants and spread knowledge.
    Networking: We can help local communities organize socially.
    Sponsorship: We can provide businesses the opportunity to further the goals of the BAA while gaining visibility.
    Donations: We can accept anonymous and public donations for direct use in furthering the goals of the BAA, with an emphasis on transparency.
