1000 bits = 0.001 BTC = 0.3118 USD

I think that's crazy idea.
Which wallet do you set ?

Email via Coinbase. Most people won't give you the time to start downloading an app.

Not bad at all, I think you'll need to try and simplify some of your explanations in the video though if that's you, people won't know anything about Bitcoin's backend especially if they don't have any programming knowledge, so talking about hashing and stuff will just confuse the fuck out of them.

You could also maybe hand out some leaflets if you're okay with that which have a good writeup of how Bitcoin actually works because I noticed a lot of people were just repeating what news organisations were saying.

That was my buddy Josiah with the explanations, but those people asked for it. I'm Solomon which you can see a lot in the first video in Union Square.

Having a leaflet is a great idea though. Do you know of any good 1-page summaries out there?

get a new sign.

"free bits of bitcoin" rather than "free bitcoin"

because its like saying dollar giveaway, or free dollar. then handing them 1cent..

Agree in theory. However saying "free bits of bitcoin" will just confuse people further. I think bitcoin should be used as a blanket term for the currency. Like "dollar" can can refer to USD and not necessary 100 cents.

Nice move buddy. I wish u get some electronic media coverage while giving away free bits. That would be great for your start-up's publicity as well good for bitcoin awareness.

Thank you. I hope so too. We got a Double robot (doublerobotics.com) so someone can log in remotely from anywhere and do this with us. Let me know if you would like to try it sometime.

thanks for sharing. i like that idea and your work. you spread the word  Smiley

which service do you use to setup the wallets for the strangers?

Thanks. We send by email through Coinbase, unless they already have a wallet. This is the fastest way and also don't end up with lost bits.

I've been handing out bitcoin in the streets of New York, 1000 bits/person. Sometimes people laugh, sometimes people are curious, many times they're just apathetic. But it's a lot of fun. We have some videos on our YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgg8PiB0kx-FelLlPUH1weQ If you're in New York and want to join us please message me--we do this in the mornings 8:30am.

Full disclosure: I started this to raise some awareness for our project coinspace.io, but totally committed to getting the word out on bitcoin for its own sake.
