What day do you think?
Let's take cues from the SHA256. ie 25th of June each year?

I'll be doing something in Totnes, Devon, GB.
I've had some more ideas this AM....
A series of explanation sessions in various cafés.Especially that Totnes is the bet noire of café towns in Britain.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-191464452004 - Time magazine declared Totnes the capital of new age chic. Then, just last month, Highlife, the British Airways magazine, declared it one of the world's Top 10 Funky Towns, alongside Daylesford in Victoria and Tiradentes in Brazil.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2005/may/08/britishidentity.ethicallivingThey don't just shop local in Totnes - they have their very own currencyhttp://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/they-dont-just-shop-local-in-totnes--they-have-their-very-own-currency-818586.htmlSo I will do as much as can given the media support I should be able to garner.
- Encourage local shopkeepers to allow their staff to be tipped in Bitcoins - by setting them up with Bitcoin wallets on their phones [Bitcoin tips accepted here]
Doing a Bitcoin exchange sessions at the café tutorials - IE 1 GBP -> Bitcoin Spinner etc
- Get every shopkeeper who accepts Totnes Pounds to let me put up a Bitcoin poster
My thoughts for the leaflet is that it should work as both a poster and a leaflet.
Front: Big logo, Bitcoins accepted here, BBC "pull out" quote, one simple diagram
Back: For Dummies diagram, region contacts
The BBC "pull out" quote for me in Britain will be something like:
Bitcoins: Could virtual cash replace money?
- Joe Lynam The BBC 31 March 2013
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-21990136This link has an interview with Dave Birch whose company is a consultancy to government digital identity research projects and Digital money. Especially visa vi Mondex in 1995
http://virtualschool.edu/mon/ElectronicProperty/MondexWhen the BBC drag Dave in for an interview, you know it's serious :-)
My next move is to contact a few friend at my local Linux User Group to support me on the tutorial Saturdays and possibly work other towns for me to raise awareness.
I personally believe that increasing actually usage and "Bitcoin velocity" can't be a bad thing?
