I think a lot of effort should be put into getting more traders over from places like eBay & eBid to come and trade in the marketplace.
[/quote]You know, that got me to thinking…
Why is it when people ask where to buy Feathercoin, people say exchanges, eBay, and Bittylicious?
Why don’t they say the Feathercoin marketplace?

Until getting to know of a few people here, I was uneasy with buying ftc directly from people (plus I only just found out now by you that ftc is been sold on the marketplace here…).
I was also under the assumption that paypal wasn’t too keen on crypto currencies.
But yeah. I’m gonna be in a position to buy ftc next week. So I’m gonna hunt around and find someone.
Maybe there should be a stickied thread where there’s a list of trusted members here who sell ftc directly?
Once I’ve personaly bought ftc directly from someone here, I’ll point anyone who asks in their direction.

[/quote]I was having similar thoughts as you. I noticed listings in the marketplace but was personally going to hold out for Bittylicious to start selling them or go the btc/ftc route.
However if any other newbies like me are reading this, and maybe considering purchasing via other members, check out this post by another helpful member:

Sorry if I have steamed this thread further off-topic

Definitely… I see the question been asked every night… where/how do I buy ftc…
Have it side by side the market place. maybe have a thing where you need x amount of rep before you can start selling feathercoin to people (The risk is on the sellers side is it not?)
I’m not sure how escrow works, but that would fix a lot of trust issue’s too.
But yeah. A tab right next to marketplace where new users can easily find a trusted member to buy ftc directly. Let’s cut out the middle man. (Exchanges)
If people want to day trade, they can go elsewhere.
-
That would be brilliant !
Forum - Marketplace - FTC exchange
All in one place. If a busy marketplace & exchange could be created here then it paves the way for external adoption by other merchants & exchanges etc.
-
I’ve been trying to get OPEN discussions on Cryptocoin Policy going using #HelloCrypto and sending 0.01137701 FTC to new ppl.

In regards to sending ftc to people…
My mate who has heard of Bitcoin but was unsure/uneasy of the idea is an artist and takes commissions from people for like $5 / $10. He’s apart of a massive community that all do the same. Paypal is the standard form of payment for artist like himself. I pointed out ftc to him so he would set up a wallet and then I sent 7 ftc just so he could see how it worked. Also so he could then pass on some to another to do the same.
The platform is perfect for artists who work on commission.

I am from Slovenia and I can take care for slovenian translations, some publicity, spread the world out,…

Thanks to all that have offered to translate :) stay tuned please.

It’s great to see how people are coming together over this. A lot of good ideas are being brought to light. If this keeps going, and some of the ideas are turned to reality, Feathercoin is going to rock! 8)

[/quote]I think this is a great idea, Pete/ChrisJ any idea of what’s the best way to facilitate this?

Once again thanks to everyone for replying and volunteering. I’ve sent you all a quick PM. I’ll be working on the baby steps for this in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out in this forum as I’ll be posting.
Finally, if anyone else is looking at this with fresh eyes and hasn’t yet volunteered, feel free to!

Just a heads up, got the cart guide out of the way… and have a couple of busy days ahead. Calem, still working on the sound files with Chris… had a chat with him the other night and forgot to ask. Sorry. Will bend his ear soon.

Hi All!
Longtime lurker on several sites, only really getting into things recently (ever since I left my job :/). But I’m pretty optimistic! Anyway, my job was actually in marketing…well, marketing consumer goods to retail chains, but many skills carry over to internet marketing.
About me: I live in New York, I’m 23, I have a BS in Biology, Rudimentary coding experience, and am a strong writer (ignore this right now, I’m being informal/in a rush). I’m looking to get more involved in the community here, which I feel is far more vibrant than other currently cryptos. Let me know if I can be of any help.

[/quote]Peter (Bushstar) and I have been looking into the translation files for the Feathercoin Wallet. There is a generic translation system, and you can choose your language in Settings / Options / Display.
We are part of the Bitcoin protocol and most of the translation work for that is “up stream”.
We also report bugs, and in future code back there if applicable to all Bitcoin protocol clients. Any changes and extra translations will trickle down, or be can patched to all the Bitcoin forked projects.

[/quote]Alex, you are most definitely going to be of help here. And yes, your skills sound like they are quite easily transferrable to slightly different mediums. Keep an eye out on the forums as I will be posting openly to the media team. You are actually our first US volunteer - and NYC has so much going on that it would be awesome to have your sales/marketing experience to rely on.
Thanks!

[/quote]Hey that’s ok. No huge rush. I’ll start talking with Hizzle and try contact my guitarist friend in the mean time.

I have been enrolled in bilingual schools for half my life, so I think I would be able to do English/Dutch translations if needed. I saw Bittylicious putting up a Dutch website so I guess they will be selling BTC in the Netherlands pretty soon, and I expect FTC (if succesful in the UK) to follow! :)
