      I would think that team Skype sessions would be more realistic. Invite me on Skype my username is Fresh-rest, we will setup Skype meetings for various teams at various times.

        I’ll talk to some friends about this. There’s people I know who know how to organize efficiently for something like this.

          Nice, skype also seems like a nice idea, but how do you manage 50+ persons talking? :P

            Could have IRC chat with breakout sessions of small groups.

            Could turn in to Feathercoin Speed dating lol… now there’s an idea!

                I think for now Skype would be a great idea, that way our friends from across the pond could join in :) IRC sounds good ChrisJ

                  I am organising one, it’s been decided lol. We can host them simultaneously and do a live webcast with big screens :)

                  I am thinking of branding it as Bitcoin/Crypto or Bitcoin/Feathercoin/Litecoin meetup so that it attracts more people. This should be about promoting the idea itself and I notice I got a bit of interest from the Trollbox last night when I put the idea forward.

                    I’m glad this is being brought up! I started a meetup project when I first got over here… it didn’t gain traction so it became a back-burner item. I would host one here in the US-Midwest.

                        Guys, I think Google Hangouts in Google+ is designed to handle a lot more people than skype is.

                          I think this is a pretty awesome idea. Why wait for BTC-e to set up a FTC/USD when you can just take things into your own hands. Power to the people!

                            I have since found out it’s called open outcry but apparently it’s not that easy to do because you just get a lot of noise and if you want to be a market maker you are taking a big risk and still have to deal with all the settlement.

                              Could you curtail the noise/confusion by having multiple people working for the exchange? If it’s one or two people trying to run it then I see how it would get unmanageable very quickly (assuming there’s enough interest in the first place). If there’s 5 or 6 exchange workers and you set up some formalized system for placing orders then maybe it would be more under control? Also, distributing the market-making responsibility among a group of people might help ease the burden.
