I just wondered if anyone here had set up at a market and tried to sell Bitcoin to the public/tourists?
I think it's be a bit of advertising for Bitcoin for people that walk past and people may buy as novelty gift etc. (if done as fancy paper wallet).
I'm considering trying this in London, what do you guys think?
If you want to promote and make suer people adopt BTC, you need to give away 2-5$'s of BTC to a few people of keep an open market contest where they can win real money which would be paid out in BTC. These could be a good way of letting people know about BTC. I dont think in an open market, just selling BTC would work very well. People might notice it but they will just go past it and it wont be eye catching enough.
