Hello friends,

As some of you may know MadBitcoins has been raising funds for me to go to Bitcoin in the Beltway in Washington DC next week.

I am not very good at asking for money so some kind people who seem to like what I have to say about all things crypto have sent me 2.82 Bitcoins which should be enough for me to book some tickets.

When I am there I am available for requests, we have some interviews lined up with people like Andreas, Will, Kristov and the usual suspects but this will be the first time all of us will be together in the same place.

I think one of the things Feathercoin needs is more of a presence outside of this forum. I know this has been said before most recently by Svenn. That is why I regularly appear on World Crypto Network often with the Feathercoin logo. I try to tweet out the link out on @Feathercoin. I appear most Friday's on the Bitcoin Group which is like a panel discussion. But my favourite format is the Bitcoin Talk Show on Wednesdays which is more interactive and involves audience participation.

Thom (MadBitcoins) has offered us a slot on the weekly network, something like This Week in Feathercoin, I would prefer it if it were more open ended and supportive of all crypto network but feature members of this community. One of the things I love so much about this place is that we don't hate on other coins. So if anyone would like to collaborate or fancies a go at a live hangout please shoot me an email.
