Gentlemen and ladies of bitcointalk. I have convinced my boss to allow me to start producing btc merchandise, with one stipulation. She wants to check interest. She told me this afternoon that if I can raise 1 btc just in interest that she will allow me to produce 'large' runs of t-shirts and various other btc 'swag'. 

i propose to you folks a fundraising drive to meet my goal.

For .01 you will receive a 3" vinyl bitcoin logo sticker
For .05 you will receive a bitcoin sticker with your username on it.
For .1 you will receive a custom sticker of your choice
For .5 you get all items listed above and a bitcoin logo t shirt with your username on it.
For the whole 1 btc gets all items listed above and a one off silk screened t-shirt with the bitcoin related design of your choice.

Yes. I am giving this away, but it is a project I believe in. So, anybody interested. For now use the address in my sig to donate, I will set up a dedicated account in the morning.

So, am I out of my mind to think I can make this work, or is anybody gonna help a brother out?

She doesn't have a wallet yet. Her only involvement in this is an interest check. I am running all donation materials on my own dime and my own time. Sending her a private key would be sent to the trash because it would look like spam to her.

sorry to burst your bubble, but you aren't giving anything away.  You are charging a premium on stickers and t-shirts.  Stickers and t-shirts that can be made to the buyer's exact specifications elsewhere for a cheaper rate.

I think snare rolls should be used as a currency.

^^^^^ What he said. If you want to crowd source you need to have a better idea, or a much better incentive to invest.

Smh, sorry, I forgot where I was for a second. The idea was to show a local business that the bitcoin community was more than a bunch of techie people, and had real world application. I guess I was wrong. As much as I like bitcoin, this is the exact reason it will never become widely accepted.

You do realize that without giving any information about that shop (or your boss) this looks only like somebody trying to scam 1 BTC?

Also you seem to play quite a bit on Satoshi's Dice with the address (1FKppwEjrenyhNXC9AHobgtuCcBTSLdnzY) in your signature - I don't trust gamblers, sorry.

Well excuse me for trying to make my job a little more bitcoin friendly. Jesus. Mods, please lock this thread. I'm over this. Sorry for trying to use my skills to be a part of the bitcoin community. I won't make this mistake again. I thought of a new motto for bitcoin "invest in a project where you will be ridiculed for trying to further the community, we would rather just have a big ass circle jerk and talk shit to people.". Bunch of dickheads on this forum.
