Would also love to see artists and musicians be involved in receiving TIPS as appreciation for their work/inventions/ideas as well.
Possibly target buskers? (people who play music in public for tips - its a british term; my american friends thought I made the word up initially!)
If we can find a way to target buskers so that they put a QR code address and a brief explanation that it can be used to tip real currency using Fedora TIPS without the hassle of needing to find small change, that would be good exposure to the general populace.
One (big) challenge is its tricky to talk an average person through the whole exchange mechanism to go from fiat currency to TIPS (i.e. buy LTC/BTC without using credit card/paypal, join an exchange, exchange for TIPS, send to own wallet.. not exactly simple for most people).
