Mobile wallets are badly needed. I am a Bitcoin evangelist and go around and sell small parcels of Bitcoins (like 0.1 BTC ) for no profit just to promote Bitcoin, increase the user base and remove the barrier of entry (which was none for myself but, you know, some people prefer to take baby steps) . My life would have been much easier with mobile wallets on WP and iPhone.

This is a brilliant idea but not very practical for most bitcoin enthusiasts. There are various obvious reasons like 1) we have our day jobs
2) we might not be interested in setting up a new business just for the purpose of advertising
3) making quality coffee can be more challenging that it looks (at least for us with no background whatsoever)
4) ....

Supporting your idea however, I suggest something slightly different:

Find an excellent coffee shop and convince them to accept Bitcoin. Make it appealing to both the owner and to the customers. For instance, ask the owner to give 50% discount for the purchases in bitcoin and tell her that you will compensate for that discount and even pay her extra 10%. Win for the shop owner, win for the costumers. So for every $3 coffee that is sold in bitcoin, you have to pay $1.8 ($1.5 to cover the discount and 30 cents incentive for the shop).
If you manage to sell 200 coffees this way, it means that you have gained a huge market penetration. And cost will be only $360 ($1.8 x 200) . This is much reasonable, imho, than setting up a new business that you have no experience in.
Maybe Bitcoin foundation are willing to help people by subsidising this amount to some degree.

Let me out of here! I am a bitcoin enthusiast that use every possible conversation as a way of promoting bitcoin. I only came here to contribute to that post about promoting bitcoin with giving ppl something for free like cheap coffee.... And I then hit the wall Smiley
I have been reading the source code of bitcoin so I think it is fair to say I know more than average newbie!

The idea of mining is fascinating to many people and since BTC mining has got so difficult already, shouldn't we expect a brighter future for alt coins that give more mining opportunities to people even if they are not early adaptors? Should we be worried?
