Re: Nxt marketing & promotion :: Nxt is now 100% Open Source! And on Cryptsy!
To complement Damelon's thoughts, which I generally agree with, I like THESE options:

I'm trying to get things lined up for Toronto's Bitcoin Expo, and based on the discussion here I think my approach should be as follows:
- Attend the conference as a simple attendee
- Wear a Nxt t-shirt and carry business cards with Nxt client/faucet information on them
- Target specific attendees, as the folks attending the Texas Bitcoin Conference are doing, and aim to connect with as many individuals as possible
I still have not booked flights, conference passes, etc. as I need final confirmation that Nxt funds are available to help defray costs. Edmonton and Toronto are 3500km apart (Canada is a big place) so travel is likely the biggest expense. I'll also need a place to sleep for two nights
I'm kinda surprised there are not other Canucks around who may be able to join me... unless someone is just lurking and staying quiet? It would be better to field a small team at the conference than to have one person go.

Paid Press releases:
Are always a bad idea, and we should never ever ever pay for a press release. We should be building our own list of key contacts (with associated information about areas of interest/expertise) and then write our own targeted press releases for those folks.... and finally...

I'd hold off on this one. I believe someone is meeting up with his wife (AKA the Bitcoin Wife) at the Texas Bitcoin Conference. It's also very likely that Brian will be there as well. And I'm willing to bet that what the fine folks in Texas are going to do this weekend will make PAYING for exposure with them unnecessary.https://www.freetalklive.com/advertise (Brian Sovryn: "the largest bitcoin/cryptocurrency
