1. Join http://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoin
2. Upvote and submit interesting bitcoin-related stories


The most voted for submissions will eventually reach the frontpage, and BOOM! New bitcoiners  =D

PS. Sorry if this is a simplistic idea, thought it might help   Grin

I can't agree more. Reddit has a huge following of nerds that are perfect candidates to be (relatively) early adopters.

Why would you be flamed?

It is a good idea to get the word out. Also, do you believe digg.com would be a good place to spread the word as well?

But, if I don't have /r/bitcoin +frontpaged already, how is it going to be on my frontpage? /r/bitcoin doesn't even constitute a /r/newreddits post.

Not to be debbie downer, but I don't think reddit works that way. Otherwise NSFW shit would pop up on my frontpage all day.

NSFW stuff pops up on the frontpage everyday! But I confess, I don't know the inner workings of reddit. I assumed any submission, no matter the subreddit of origin, had a possibility of getting front-paged.

By default, NSFW is +frontpaged. If you -frontpage /r/nsfw, you won't get any more from that subreddit. However, there can still be nsfw posts in subreddits you are subscribed to, I don't know if you can hide that.

Newer subreddits get advertised sometimes in reddit's blog post every month featuring cool new subreddits, but there's an arbitrary "group" of default +frontpage subreddits that you are subscribed to upon registration. /r/bitcoin is definitely not one of those.
