Having a VTC/USD exchange would be the best thing to do IMO. It will allow the public to buy VTC without first buying BTC, thus removing the fear/distrust of BTC in the process. It'll also allow people like me who are not mining fast enough to get more VTC easily

.

I've happily engaged people on mining, some of them get it and some don't, never hurts to try

. I don't think it makes sense to explain cryptocurrency to anyone without talking about mining. Where do the coins come from then? I've frequently used the concept of actual (gold/silver) mining to explain it and get a eureka moment.

I'm pretty sure you just made it a easier for me to explain to others how mining works, I can't believe I haven't though of that example Cheesy

Nice

! Glad to be of help here haha. I guess it helps that I've some small investments in silver and gold as well so I can draw the analogy from there.

I posted on reddit about the possibility of selling 40% of charity funding in the vertmarket with paypal. It would be a nice first step on the VTC/USD transition.
