Title: An Idea for Great Bitcoin Exposure and Publicity
Post by: peach on June 26, 2011, 10:26:21 PM
I have a way that we can get thousands of new Bitcoiners in one day.

We'll call this project the Reddit Initiative.

Here's how it will work:
  • 1. I post a link to an introduction to Bitcoins to Reddit at an agreed-upon date and time
  • 2. We all upvote it (one upvote per-person. Multiple-account upvoting is against Reddit's rules I believe)
  • 3. Our upvotes snowball and Reddit users themselves start upvoting it
  • 4. Achieve a place on the Reddit Front Page for Multiple Hours

With more people in Bitcoin, it has a greater chance of success. And I think this would be a good way to attract some people.

What do you guys think of this idea? What time & date should this take place on? And what link should be posted?

I'll update this post as the consensus decides the details.

Confirmed upvoters so far (2)
  • Me
  • Qualia8

I wouldn't be surprised if this thread gets put on reddit.  They do not like people gaming the system.

Who cares? Why would BitCoiners not want to get BTC more popular?
