Ugh voting on bter is a pain, I have to open an account and hold a certain balance which of course almost all my money is in root, which I can't transfer in, at the moment I barely have any use for a bter account.

I've been trying to look at setting up a faucet but as soon as the searches for instructions just lead back to some sourcecode on github I'm lost. how no one just built like a php script that you can plug in any coin's wallet, get it up on hosting and be done? My thought was that if we could set up a faucet maybe some of us would be willing to donate our earnings from staking to a faucet. I don't know if there's a simple or automated way to do that but possibly a slight code tweak from Bitsta could fix that. We ideally ought to be able to redirect staking rewards to another address.

This leads me to an interesting thought / question would it be possible to have a service like an exchange that rather than charging fees is funded from staking the coins you hold with them?

Err Other thoughts on promotions, can we scrounge up a list of somewhat influential people with an interest in tech and/or particularly cryptocurrencies that we can send gifts of rootcoin to? We'd need a way to give them the private keys for  the addresses we generated for them, umm is there any way to do that? Like a way to send a message to someone that can only be unlocked using a person's twitter account?

Also we should create some sort of scavenger hunt type competition with a number of bounties and/or the chance to win a ticket for a prize draw for a large prize like 10,000 root. Make some of the scavenger hunt questions require people to have to do research on cryptos and specifically root coin, so that anyone who want to try and win some free money has to learn how promising root coin is. But also obviously make it fun.
