Title: people scanned TV set and donated money to college kid Post by: merv77 on December 02, 2013, 04:53:31 PM you believe this, easy money.
next time I see a news event being filmed I'm bringing my QR code sign ;D :D ;D http://www.businessinsider.com.au/someone-holding-bitcoin-sign-on-college-gameday-receives-over-22-bitcoins-2013-12 (http://www.businessinsider.com.au/someone-holding-bitcoin-sign-on-college-gameday-receives-over-22-bitcoins-2013-12) http://static.businessinsider.com/image/529b556169bedd366eb6dcd3/image.jpg Title: Re: people scanned TV set and donated money to college kid Post by: Peter R on December 02, 2013, 05:50:53 PM This event received broad coverage at r/Bitcoin, but little here (probably due to the man-in-the-middle attack over the weekend).
Google shows the MSM has disseminated this story via 11 outlets already. I expect this to excite several young people to display bitcoin QR codes in prominent places, hoping to earn some cash. I think the innovative ones will be rewarded. For example, there was a long-standing tradition in UBC Engineering to hang a VW bug from some crazy location (the most high-profile example was the VW bug hung from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco). Tagging the car with a bitcoin QR code would no doubt be even more controversial, but I bet it would attract a lot of donations.

The bigger, the better!
