The Indian people don't even have a Wikipedia article on bitcoins and they are second-most populous country on the planet. Does anyone here speak Hindi? How do we bring bitcoin to these people? Why aren't Indians interested in bitcoin yet?

Edit: I noticed we have a sub-forum for India but it's all in English! Not a sign of native interest!

The amount of remittances sent from the UK to India is in the £BILLIONS and I bet they pay heavily in fees.  This is a major opportunity for bitcoin.  Lets just hope these cheap HTML5 FireFox phones take off there  Smiley

Yeah I could see Ubuntu adopting bitcoin possibly and you know what I could also see (instead) it being used on the PS4 (as the PS4 is x86 and they can't use Microsoft software and with Steam's push towards Linux I could see Sony following somehow) but Ubuntu phones are going to be very high end phones if there to dual function as a full PC.  The FireFox phone is being made cheap and is relying on HTML5 web based apps rather than a app store.  The FireFox is being market at emerging markets while I bet the Ubuntu phone will be market at the high end of the western market.  Deffo want a Ubuntu phone tho tho I do prefer to use Xubuntu and/or Lubuntu.  Tried LMDE the other day and chose the Xfce version to save resources yet it was painfully slow compared to Xubuntu (on this DN2800 Atom).

An exchange is on the way in Inda https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=122014.0
That should give them a huge kickoff when put in place.
