Nick,
Have you ever heard of the Bitcoin Pizza story? We're in the very early stages of NewYorkCoin. NewYorkCoin is ONLY 3 MONTHS OLD! Value will rise substantially from current levels when we achieve New York City business acceptance. And usage of NewYorkCoin. It's the future value of NYC - it's a lottery ticket!
Everyone is waiting for The Foundation to do the work. I AM THE FOUNDATION. I have created a great website. Updated wallets. Cleaned up source. Created a working block explorer. Gotten press coverage. Do YOUR part!
Get merchant acceptance. Or get lost.
Have you reached out to, or found anyone, in New York that would be willing to spend a few days going from mom and pop to mom and pop shop and pitch nyc coin? i live in az. i have posted some things on Nyc craigslist and am trying to put the word out to local blogs. any suggestions on what a guy like me who lives cross country can do to help raise awareness? im a believer in this coin and am willing to spend my time and effort any way i can
