Bitcoin Forum

Hi all,

I convinced my company to host a $2,000 bitcoin giveaway to celebrate the new release of our tech news app, Appy Geek (iOS, Android, Windows 8 ).

With today's conversion that works out to about 3.4 BTC.

We make a tech news app that's become pretty active with bitcoin news junkies. The "bitcoin" user-added topic is among the most popular topics in our app.

Enter to win: (free)

Thanks and good luck!

Hi roslinpl,

I'm not sure I understand the question, but we are using a sweepstakes platform to collect all the entries. The randomly selected winner will be notified via email on the 24th of April (next month).

The winner will receive payment of BTC just after the sweepstakes ends (we will notify and verify the winner first). Here are the complete rules: http://woobox.com/offers/rules/r7ypa2

The company is Mobiles Republic and we produce mobile news applications. You can contact us at: geekcontact.store@appy-geek.com.

Thanks and good luck!

I've signed up :D

Can you escrow the prize? I can hardly trust a random 1  post newbie.

Hi Rigon,

We're using Coinbase for the USD-BTC purchase about a week before the drawing. I realize the exchange rate will fluctuate, but we'll use Coinbase's standard rate at the time of the transaction.

The nice part is, the payment to the winner will be instant and there will be no bank fees :)

I'm a long-time bitcoin enthusiast and I've read plenty about BTC on bitcointalk, just haven't participated in any discussions.

To age myself: My first BTC trade was via Dwolla - MtGox when it was trading at the $7 range. I sold at $16 and still kick myself for it!

Any questions just PM me or email geekcontact.store@appy-geek.com.

Thanks and good luck!

Can you escrow the prize?

Nice. Requires facebook

Just out of curiosity, when did you buy back in? 

There is no info or official sources claiming a giveaway (around this time) from Official Appy Geek themselves.

Are you sure there is a giveaway?  I want a credible source (prefer) from the official blog or website reporting this.

You must have missed this: https://www.facebook.com/AppyGeek/posts/10152017042932883?stream_ref=10

Also, I'm sure everyone would be okay with 2 grand. Entered! http://woobox.com/r7ypa2/711t84

Wow, I used this app almost every day for the past year.
Great idea to get more readers, good luck!

Better idea would be to give 20 people $100.

Significantly improves the chances of someone winning something, or even structure it in tiers - because in addition to winning something, they also get Bitcoins as their prize, and if you set it up smart, you also get all of those CoinBase affiliate links.

nice yeah i missed that

Signed up!  ;D

Signed up  :) I agree with hjbuell, that make that chance of winning higher and everyone is happy

I entered... It would have been better if you gave 34 people 0.1 BTC rather than 1 person 3.4 BTC.

So it says in your rules no china's Hong Kong any good?

Thanks everyone and good luck!

We'll send out announcements for the winner here, on FB and also in the app. Naturally we'll respect the winner's privacy should he or she choose to.

Sorry Nobitcoin, due to regulations we must state that this sweepstakes is not available to residents of China (including Hong Kong), Canada and Italy.

The fulfillment process: Should the winner choose payment in BTC, a wallet address is simply required. We will ask for the wallet address via email when contacting the winner.

Thanks and good luck!

oh, it's amazing

I have just installed the app.
Seems like a nice program , I will check it often.
Is there any way this can be used on a PC though ?

My link is : http://woobox.com/r7ypa2/72j9rm

Yes, is it Windows 8 only, or is there a PC version, especially for older Windows?
Great idea for a promo.

So, did you mention facebook?  Well,,,,

Yep, its a great way to introduce the app.

And yes its good

So you're screwed if you don't use Windows 8 or a Apple/Android device?

A Rumor Reflex. I'm kind of a cheapskate.  :P

lol theres why! haha i have my old iphone sittin around since i got my windows phone, want it? :P

Haha, nah. My trash-phone is good enough for me  except for the fact that it disqualifies me from 2k USD raffles   :-\

haha i was joking anyway lol but you could run bluestacks on you pc? then do it from there?

Thanks! That's a great idea!

No problem! If you win make sure to send me a bitcoin lol
