There's 1,241,491,960 people who live in India, that's almost 1/5th of the global population. I am quite interested in learning more from all of you in this forum about how we can go about building the Indian Bitcoin Economy.
A few of us have been working at lining up strategic partnerships with key enabling leaders in the bitcoin market such as BitPay. For all of us living in India, it's clear that the biggest bottleneck is the
exchange. I have reached out to Mt. Gox to find out why they haven't started in India, still waiting for a response. In the meantime, I have started using companies like buysellbitco.in to purchase bitcoins, seems to be working...for now.
Now that Avalon has proved that ASICs are for real, I am also open to mining bitcoins here in India (electricity is fairly cheap). We could use some help in terms of crowd-sourcing initial start-up funds, etc.
I am reaching out to those who have experienced success from around the world with seeding bitcoin in their respective communities. What do you recommend as a next step?
