I will match the bounty.
0.2 BTC and 20k total from me
 
----
 
Edit. I hope others see the benefits of spending some of your mined FRC on bounties. Just minimal investment like this could help bump the value of FRC well beyond our small inputs.
 
Think bigger picture everyone.

Goal for me short term push more information out on current state of the coin and information updated across as many sites as possible. As well trying to get more exchanges and payment gates for the Kria. 

Preamble
 
We are now in a critical juncture of the Kria. One where the coin resides in a limbo world of very few uses and still fewer miners and still fewer hands on the coin. Although value of the coin has dropped to nearly the lowest level ever this community still have strong feelings that this coin has potential. Given the proposal from Mark and Jorge on Freimarkets it would behoove everyone with interests in Freicoin to help fund that crowdsource idea. 
 
What we hope to accomplish in the meantime is a "relaunch" or "rebranding" of the coin so that we can ride the wave of discord and backlash against the 1000s of junk pump and dump coins that keep being born over and over again. 
 
What can we do?
 
1. Get the right information out to as many relevant websites, blogs and forums as we can.
 
2. Get more exchanges adding Freicoin to their list of accepted coins.
 
3. Get more payment gateways applications using FRC so that people can accept and trade FRC.
 
4. Get more companies buying / selling items for FRC.
 
5. Get more people mining our coin.
 
6. Establish a clear vision for Freicoin.

7. Establish a longer term goal for the use of the demurrage for good. 
 
The challenge?
 
Well simply put the real challenge now is really get a wider base of users and stakeholders. We have watched so many plans, good ideas, suggestions and what not be proposed for years now. What we can't keep doing is making proposals and doing little to follow up and complete such projects.
 
We also need to be inclusive and to bring in new blood. We need to excite the imagination of user with exciting projects like Freimarkets but also to make FRC more user friendly.
 
There is also the challenge of the Freicoin Foundation with 80% of the coin and no realistic way of dispensing it all within the time frame they proposed. It is more than likely the 80% is going to go into destruction. We as a community need to be aware of that fact and we need to do what we can to protect that 80% of the coin base from being used inappropriately.
 
The first step?
 
A meeting of interested parties.
Set a single goal for each party with a deadline to complete it.
Set goals that require little financial investment but provide the biggest impact on bootstrapping the coin.
Band together and pool resource when we have a clear objective.
 
Meeting to be held in September.

Nice Post!
To What can we do?
 
First of all we need some clear vision for Freicoin.
How can Freicoin look in the Future? What we want to do with the demurrage.
To have a coin with demurrage is not enough. We need to show what good things could be done with the demurrage.
 
Here is one project called freipay, that wants to 
support donations / investments / payments  in Freicoin (in this order) . http://freicoinalliance.com/topic/7-freicoin-alliance-will-support-payments-investments-donations-in-freicoin/
This could really boost Freicoin. We should concentrate our effort to bring such a project to the start and show that it is possible.
 
Then we also would have an answer why somebody should use Freicoin.
Because Payments though using the demurraged coins are up to 5% cheaper then in any other coin at the moment.
 
This could also balance really good in the long run. The less Freicoin is used the higher this "rabatt" could become though using the demurraged coins. The higher the rabatt the more users the more users the less the rabatt will become and so on.
This could be a good self adjusting thing!
 
What we need is simple:
First of all the acceptance of the Feicoin Community.
Second the acceptance through Jorge and Mark to be registered for coin matching.
Third a small website to describe how freipay is functioning.
Last but not least we need round about three proxy payers who do the coin handling manually.
 
In the Alphaphase the coin handling could be done manually. In this phase the proxy payers should make sure, that at least 7 hours per week payments are being processed.
If more payments are coming then we can handle, we could give priority according to the high of the transaction or the publishing date of the transaction. 
 
Of course donations before investments before payments.
 
 
All the good,
Arcurus

Situation:
 
We currently have only 3 full time exchanges to convert Freicoin. There are easily manipulated via bots and unscrupulous miners engaged in dump and dump schemes.
 
Vircurex
Cryptsy
BTER
 
Focus:
 
We need to work on some major exchanges and try to get FRC listed before 2015 as a target. 
 
1. Get Ask Coin to accept FRC.  
2. Get BTC-e to accept FRC.
3. Get Kraken to accept FRC.
4. Here is a Complete List of Bitcoin Exchanges so we can target other sites on our own and get FRC spread far and wide. As a group I suggest we work on Ask Coin first as it will be easy enough to get us on Ask Coin with minimal time and money to invest.
 
Reponse: 
 
1. Ask Coin has a vote on Tuesday. Fredrik and Darin have already pledged 0.15 BTC or 1500 votes to get our total votes up. We need more people to help support this so we challenge other members in the community to vote and to pay for 0.15 BTC or 1500 votes per block. If we get over 3000 or best we get to 4500 votes pledged before AskCoin publishes the winning coin on Tuesday morning at 04:00 UTC and moves them into the winners coin section of the site we should be on Ask Coin with no problem. We need your support. 
 
Here is the TX ID for our 1500 votes: https://blockchain.info/tx/fa16fbf72c44db7c4ec8a1e5081707ed89019ed80692f9edcdbcfc3eaed35c2c
 
Here is the FRC Vote Address for AskCoin.net: https://blockchain.info/address/1N3T2TNPhfhkdyekvTcmUfB137jFmRHLPu
 
Remember you can vote here on AskCoin and add 1 vote every 10 minutes. NO BOTS PLEASE!
 
2. BTC-e is a tougher exchange to crack but we need to start a campaign and get FRC listed here. It is a major exchange that would allow us significant exposure to a much larger trading base for FRC. I am not sure how to proceed other than to first send emails from Mark or Jorge the developers to get some traction and then some members of the community can then work with BTC-e to help promote FRC inclusion on BTC-e.
 
3. Kraken is also a tough exchange to crack but we need to start a campaign and get FRC listed here. It is a major exchange that would allow us significant exposure to a much larger trading base for FRC. I am not sure how to proceed other than to first send emails from Mark or Jorge, the FRC developers, to get some traction and then some members of the community can then work with Kraken to help promote FRC inclusion on Kraken.
 
4. Members can work on their own or in teams to find other sites that will vote up coins or have open door policies to new altcoins. I have worked originally to get BTER as an FRC exchange and currently I am working on Palth Exchange in Thailand. 
 
Evaluation:
 
In an effort to keep our work from crossing over please post below what exchange sites you have contacted and ANY successes you have achieved in getting the exchanges to accept FRC. We will update the Exchange list as this happens. There are probably 100's of exchanges so the more we push the wider we can spread the coins placement. A polite, concerted effort to get FRC listed will pay off dividends in 2015.
