Hey all, I had the idea the other day to release a few things online, each for a specific bounty. I'd love to use Bitcoin (as it's anonymous), but I don't have much of a clue how to get this out there for people to contribute to.

My demographic is college students, so things are a bit tricky in a few regards:
1) Getting this info out could be rather difficult, considering the mass of ads flying on campuses. I'm open to all ideas here, as the ones I've got are a bit generic.
2) Students are bombarded with things asking for money all the time. I would need this to stand out as something legitimate and reasonable, and I don't really have a method for that.
3) Most students don't know about Bitcoin, so they would need to learn and convert USD to BTC rather quickly (due to the relatively short attention span =P). I would potentially need to partner with someone willing to do PPUSD to BTC transactions (that's the best I've got right now).

Sorry to drop all this here (especially at such an hour), but I figured that there are surely some motivated experts on the forum (or bored individuals, or both =P).

-Rem

PS: I'm a student as well, so if I'm taking a jab at students in general, I'm also taking a jab at myself Tongue.

students? silk road.

Help Bitcoins by buying clothes, technology, books, etc. through people/stores that accept BTC. This will increase overall value of BTC as well as mitigate unnecessary bank transaction fees.

Boy, do I envy you! Imagine that! You're the guy (I'll assume you're a guy, but girl is good, too) who got the Bitcoin ball rolling on your campus. And you did it all by only asking one question to each student you encountered daily: What would you like to purchase via the internet but don't want to use, for what ever reason, your credit card? Once they gave you their answer, you handed them a well written flyer with the header that read NOW YOU CAN! and included your name on the bottom (or was it a key or a link to website or something else?). Genius!
