How about advertising this on 4chan and other anime-related places?

I was thinking what would be the best place to start actually using the coins, and figured what if in deviantART, you could tip people whose art you really dig, and buy stuff from them with ANI's? The site already has points system that you can use to purchase art and so on, and dollars can be used as well. But wouldn't AnimeCoin be just perfect for a setting like that? The site also has a huge anime fan base. And that would be just the place to have drawing competitions with good prizes and so on.

Therefore, I created group http://animecoin.deviantart.com/ and I hope everyone will join!  I am not graphically talented, so can't really create any content for the group, so it's still pretty crude looking portal. ani-chan, I'll assign you as the admin for the group if you'll join, and also others who are already familiar with the site and how it operates.

I have also started tipping people with ANI's there, and no surprise they haven't even heard of it.   But hopefully that will change.

These are very large anime groups with over 15k members each:

Maybe we could approach the group admins to have competitions on their group and give ANI's as prizes?
