Title: Re: College Kid made over $22,000 in Bitcoin Post by: Omega2513 on December 02, 2013, 11:38:11 PM Hell, just show up at local rallies, protests, and westboro. Just print posters and paste them on scientology buildings saying that donations will help them achieve higher learning. :D ;D
Title: Re: College Kid made over $22,000 in Bitcoin Post by: Itun on December 02, 2013, 11:53:15 PM I should have thought of this before...
I bet now others are going to do this and it's just gonna get boring and unoriginal. Title: Re: College Kid made over $22,000 in Bitcoin Post by: Sheldor333 on December 03, 2013, 12:38:04 AM Over 26000$ to be more accurate.

The fines if caught would cost you more than you get from the donations I guess. Title: Re: College Kid made over $22,000 in Bitcoin Post by: Itun on December 03, 2013, 01:13:36 AM I know some may find what he did funny, but...
I still don't understand why people would just give him money like that :P Title: Re: College Kid made over $22,000 in Bitcoin Post by: quantumflow on December 03, 2013, 01:29:11 AM How would he get fined? Is that some type of NCAA reg?
Title: Re: College Kid made over $22,000 in Bitcoin Post by: Itun on December 03, 2013, 02:59:16 AM How would he get fined? Is that some type of NCAA reg? Well he just jokingly proposed to tag the city with spray paint. You can get fined for actually doing this. Title: Re: College Kid made over $22,000 in Bitcoin Post by: firefight33 on December 03, 2013, 03:07:08 AM This type of thing is only possible thanks to all the newly made fortunes off it.

Title: Re: College Kid made over $22,000 in Bitcoin Post by: Omega2513 on December 03, 2013, 03:18:55 AM Just have your address QR code on the front and back of a tshirt with some slogan, and walk around. See how many people you get to scan you.

Title: Re: College Kid made over $22,000 in Bitcoin Post by: trny on December 03, 2013, 03:22:55 AM Clever kid, I should have thought to do the same at my school's ESPN Gameday event
Title: Re: College Kid made over $22,000 in Bitcoin Post by: gracesfall on December 03, 2013, 03:55:14 AM I'm waiting for the day some smokin' hot college chick gets a temp tattoo of a BTC QR-code on her butt cheek and then hits the beach in a bikini.
Title: Re: College Kid made over $22,000 in Bitcoin Post by: cryptician on December 03, 2013, 04:49:01 AM Interesting use case for Bitcoin. You don't see people holding up signs saying "donate to my bank account: xx-xxx-xxxx". Bank account numbers are considered much more private. And even if you did share your bank details, it would take days for anyone to send an inter-bank transfer.
With Bitcoin though, it's easy to give & receive anonymous and (essentially) instant donations. No strings attached. Seems like the perfect tool for the job.

Title: Re: College Kid made over $22,000 in Bitcoin Post by: Sniperdude on December 03, 2013, 05:59:14 AM Crap. I never think of these things..

Bitcoin is indeed one of the best ways organizations can solicit no-strings attached donations. Now we just need some of them to start accepting BTC as payment... Title: Re: College Kid made over $22,000 in Bitcoin Post by: JTrain_51 on December 03, 2013, 06:10:26 AM There was a 14 year old kid in my neighborhood who made 8.2k
Title: Re: College Kid made over $22,000 in Bitcoin Post by: rvdb1984 on December 03, 2013, 06:27:47 AM great idea and great news. Also very good that he gives the better part to charity!

Title: Re: College Kid made over $22,000 in Bitcoin Post by: Neo.op on December 03, 2013, 08:19:26 AM Woah thats some luck.
Title: Re: College Kid made over $22,000 in Bitcoin Post by: idakle on December 03, 2013, 09:48:06 AM Smart move. Just by waving his address like that. Would not work with a normal bank account number :P
Title: Re: College Kid made over $22,000 in Bitcoin Post by: Itun on December 03, 2013, 09:58:09 AM There was a 14 year old kid in my neighborhood who made 8.2k What did he do? Was it similar to this? Whatever the case, that 14 year old is one lucky dude... Title: Re: College Kid made over $22,000 in Bitcoin Post by: AuroraHF on December 03, 2013, 11:12:51 AM I just realized something. What if the guy who posted the QR code on the web is actually posting his own QR code?
