To present this to journalists, the more information we can give them up front is going to make their life easier = more likely to get covered. So we've got to do the leg work to provide them with information so they can vet it themselves and, if accurate, report on it as they see fit.

Please feel free to share:

- any technical info I should be reading to back up this story

- Miners out there - any quotes or personal anecdotes you could share about how mining heavycoin vs other alts has been for you?

- are there any GPU mining equipment suggestions anyone would like to recommend (brand X is better then brand Y etc)

- what's the best HVC GPU mining guide out there for new miners?

- any other arguments that should be included?

I don't want to do anything as vulgar as a press release, just a detailed summary to cut down on their leg work so they can ask questions and verify information, but not have to dig up the entire story themselves.

Next question is: who should we be sending this information to - what are the best mining blogs/podcasts/sites?

My personal goal is to reach out to John @ the Sovereign Bitcoin Podcast (http://www.sovereignbtc.com/) - I enjoy his podcast and he's started a mining segment over the last few episodes that might be a good fit for this story.

Item 2
Heavycoin twitter feed - I'd love to get everyone's thoughts here.

I'd like to make sure that the @Heavycoin and @Heavycoinnews feeds are both useful and have their own task that they solve, I would like to suggest:

@Heavycoin = Important information the heavycoin community needs to know (software updates, major developments)

@HeavycoinNews = for the more engaged members of the community (interesting posts, when TheRealSteve posts updated stats, market movements, re-tweet interesting commentary from the wider crypto community)

What do you guys think?

Two things,

For the technical aspects, I've got a heavycoin hardware comparison wiki going at http://heavycoin.wikia.com/wiki/Hardware_Comparison that might be useful when comparing efficiency and wattages. I think we have a real advantage with nVidia cards for HVC.

Second, the @HeavycoinNews feed is just... Broken. Getting spammed in the most annoying ways. It needs someone actively watching it.

Good luck giving HVC a second wind!
