1)  You can't really "get listed" on Mintpal...if your coin shows high volume, they will add it on their own...you could go the voting route, but that will take tons of BTC and coins that get added to MP via voting usually aren't that successful anyways

2)  Getting media coverage for Britcoin would be HUGE...you should aggressively market Britcoin this way...BC once you have newsworthy video footage, you can spread it around twitter to prove your coin's legitimacy

3)  most country coins were epic failures BC they're massive premines (often 50%)...Britcoin premined 200k coins out of 10M, which is nothing....you can buy 100k Britcoin for 1BTC now, if that helps put it in perspective

4)  getting on the Keiser Report would be huge

5)  aggressively pursue the marketing routes that are free...blog interviews, video interviews, twitter marketing, etc.

6)  have a video of paying for a cup of coffee with Britcoin at a local store...if Britcion becomes as good as cash, it will become massively valuable

7)  I like the Britcoin's tech...secure, proof of stake, low inflation, negligible premine

 do what Vericoin is doing...follow their lead...you don't have to reinvent the wheel

9)  I like Britcoin's branding...Britain - quality - Land Rover, Rolls-Royce, Beatles....drunkard Churchill...lol

Final point)  a)  focus on tech improvement  (i.e. do exactly EVERYTHING that Vericoin is doing)
                  b)  focus on aggressive marketing - twitter, YouTube, blogs, Keiser Report, British and other European media...etc.

With so many new coins in crypto, you have to make noise and BE AGGRESSIVE if you want to be noticed!
