In this case - I think the result is awful.
Your negative sentiment is one of the only "results" so far, that I'm aware of. I hope some positive, enthusiastic people visit this thread and click the article links in the original post.
Merchants can't adopt something they've never heard of, and won't accept a currency nobody has ever asked them about.
Drawing new people's attention to this thread is the result I consider awful.
I put in a positive suggestion about local user groups as a way to get merchants on board.. they have an immediate reward in the form of local geeks willing not only to help them set it up - but to buy some product/services from them.
MUCH more positive than a thread with 'Googlebomb' in the title. Edit the title. It's just embarrassing.
