The plan looks promising! Feel free to ignore them, but I have a couple of nitpicky suggestions about your promotional image:

The typography is kind of wonky, and it's a bit jarring to the eyes:
  • The weights aren't consistent across or even within glyphs: check the right of the lowercase 'a' or of an uppercase 'B', or see how the 'w' appears heavier than characters adjacent to it.
  • The kerning is a little funny: for example, "forum" appears to almost be two words, "for" "um".
  • Ligatures are turned off, so the "ffi" in "sufficient" gets overlappy and look a little messy.
  • You have a slightly different color (dark gray) for most occurrences of the word "Bitcoin" near the beginning, but near the end you stop.

You also have "it's" where "its" belongs, and I'd replace the "Without it" at the end with "Otherwise," or something to that effect (what's the "it"?).

Sounds good, I'm interested to see how this will develop.

Yay. Another person referring to themselves in the third person and incapable of saying "I am".

nothing wrong with a little internet humor...

Bitmit seems like it has really gained traction in the last couple of months, what has been the response from the trade sections of this forum?

Maybe reach out to tokashi, and ask him what some of the challenges have been.

Ultimately we all want btc to thrive, and better to work together...

Bitmit is great but I see a fundamental problem with many bitcoin services not just bitmit.

Many of them are clearly aimed at Bitcoin users, who are usually techies and early adopters.
Before Square came along, accepting credit cards was very difficult and you had to go the bank..ect. But now anyone can start accepting credit cards without even thinking about it.

This is the kind experience we are creating. We want people to use bitcoins without them even knowing it.


You keep saying "we". Who is "we"?
