There is certainly interest on this from the dev team.    Currently it's difficult for normal vendors to accept most Crypto Coins because they don't have easy ways to transact the coins.   We have a couple of items on the roadmap to help with this.   The first item is creating a WooCommerce plugin so that people can accept Iridum on their websites.  The second set of items is the standard need: secure Web Wallet and a Mobile Wallet. 

The first item we are working on is the WooCommerce plugin.   This should be done by June or so.     

Once you have that item, I think conversations with vendors can go much more easily. 

That said, everyone should feel free to promote Iridium to the people that they interact with.  I just know that it will be difficult to convince your coffeeshop to accept iridium for now because of the lack of technology (we have this on the roadmap to fix).
