Hello folks, allow me to introduce myself as a new Britboy helping out with press & P.R.
My credentials include working for the BBC World Service in the 90s & as a NYSE reporter in the 00s. Until recently I ran a jazz and chamber music record label and London concert series. I am semi retired and spend most of my time playing poker, trading crypto currencies and mining Burst.
Here are a few of the ideas I've discussed with Will7am and I welcome any feedback you have on them. Although I'm aware Brit is a technical marvel with it's ecological proof of stake, 0.5% interest etc... it needs other qualities to distinguish itself from the 600+ alt coins out there. Best achieved, I reckon, by association with fundamental British values like justice & fair play, free speech & democracy. Amnesty International was founded in Britain, we could set them up a wallet for donations. We might also do the same for key UK charities like NSPCC, RSPCA etc.
Obviously wallet downloading and usage is our top priority and increased public awareness of Brit is critical to achieve that. With Brexit in full swing the timing is excellent for media stories we can infiltrate to gain exposure. So as key Brexit events horizon we should be looking to get press, perhaps starting with 23rd June, our so-called ‘Independence Day’.
Identify with the British sense humour. First thing I did when I came across Britcoin was smile. Although I said we should ride Brexit, I'd rather do it in a Pythonesque manner than a UKIP assault. An independent Britain needs an independent currency! (Stole that T-shirt idea off Will7am). Long term we might hope the BBC enables red nose donations via Britcoin, but short term could we find a cash strapped comedy outfit that needs a wallet - something like Shit-faced Shakespeare!
A faucet to get free Brits - Will is working on getting us onto cryptogiveaways.org. Free stuff always attracts attention.
If we could get a renowned British restaurant to accept Britcoin that would be cool. I'll try my posh local fish & chips place, Geales. You should all get out there and try your favourite eateries - anything from full fry-up type cafes to Ottolenghis and gastro pubs. Obviously a mobile wallet will help here.
A couple of the more wacky ideas I had are borrowing Marvel Comic's Captain Britain as a publicity image, at least until their lawyers take notice and a tie up with Trump coin during the Donald's visit later this year.
So I'm happy to be aboard the good ship Brit, look forward to exchanging ideas with you, and hopefully add some value to this coin.
ATB, Richard
Welcome aboard  Britcoin definitely needs a PR person |

Yea development of the new wallets is taking a bit longer than expected, sorry about that. In the meantime things are being done behind the scenes. Once the new wallets are ready we can move forward with things. |

I have to say fiftyseven, you've hung in there with brit, I have a feeling we will all be rewarded one day I'm always pleasantly surprised to connect to 10+ nodes when running the wallet, seems I'm not the only one. We just need a bit of exposure and boom, in this climate, there would be a huge surge in interest I'm sure! |

Nice, Brit has over a 1M marketcap. I can't say just yet but there might be some good news for Brit in the coming weeks. HODL. |

Fellow Britians,
The six months for which the investor gave funding have passed, and as we didn't have things such as SPV wallets with HD addresses by the deadline, it isn't clear if he'll continue funding this Britcoin revival project.
In any case, I've lost motivation to continue so I think now is a good time for me to leave. I hope that I am replaced as soon as possible. They say it's never a good time to leave, but I feel I am enabling the investor to keep underfunding and undersupporting this project by carrying on working and paying for things myself, so perhaps this can spur change. Please consider the Coinomi integration my parting gift, which paves the way for future Britcoin SPV wallets based off the ElectrumX technology, bypassing the issues I had getting Electrum servers to work with Britcoin.
I'll just keep the seed nodes running, and I ask the community to keep the chain going by staking using the 3.3.0.2 and 3.3.0.3 wallets.

Really sad to hear you're leaving piggu - Britcoin wouldn't be here without you so you'll be really missed. Hopefully one day you'll be willing to rejoin and but until then I wish you all the best with your endeavours! |

Just one more thing: We need everyone who stakes to be on v3.3.0.3 going forwards. There are too many reports of people falling out of sync after staking on older versions. To that end I've gotten a Mac version of 3.3.0.3 produced, which you can find a link to in the OP (page 1 of this thread). Thanks to MystPhysX for compilation and patcrypt for testing.
Oink,
Mo
