Title: Guess what I did today?
Post by: johnniewalker on March 12, 2013, 08:42:56 AM
I printed out a QR code (on address label paper) of a key I generated on bitaddress. I sent .1 Bitcoins to that address. I put the QR code (remember its sticky) on a $1 Dollar bill, with a note that said "redeem at MtGox.com, learn more at bitcoinme.com". Finally-you guessed it-I spent the bill.

What could be illegal about putting a sticky note on a dollar bill?

"Destroying US currency". First of all-is it really destroying it? If any kind of defacement is "destroying" it, what about all those black marks you see on $20 bills that come from a counterfeit detector? Or those machines at touristy places that turn your penny into a little souvenir? . And if it is illegal, anyone feel free to call the police.

Wondering what do you plan to achieve by doing that? A free anonymous donation?

Personally, I never look at what's written on bills. Especially $1s. My primary use for them is stripper tips. And I doubt they accept QR codes.

True, there is a lot of writing on $1 bills. But I have never seen a QR code on one. What am I trying to achieve? I guess turning more people onto bitcoin. And I was bored and it sounded like a good idea.

Thanks. Do it! Imagine if everybody did. The more people turned onto bitcoins, the higher the demand and the more they're worth. All about the bottom line.

Actually, he didn't destroy the bill--he increased its value.

Anything is an increase from soon-to-be-worthless.

Among other things, but mainly to show the QR Code, for it was stated by someone that they've never seen one on a bill before.
