We're trying to see if there's value driving business to our site using BTC microtransactions.  Simply go to WhimsyBags.com, navigate to "Bitcoin Giveaway", enter your Bitcoin address, fill in the Captcha and hit "Submit".  No catches, no personal data.  We're just advertising, and think Bitcoin is a pretty good way of going about it.

The process isn't automated (yet), so if you experience a delay, it's just because we haven't gotten to your submission yet.

Feel free to pass us feedback either here or on the website.  We're very interested in hearing what you have to say.

This might not last, depending on the return on investment, but for now, have at it!

Cheers,

Whimsy Bags- http://www.whimsybags.com

Ok, growing pains all around...

I was using the 0.3.22 client, and it was forcing a .01 BTC transaction fee on every .0001 BTC transaction I sent.  Upgraded to 0.3.23, and we're down to .0005 BTC.  Much better...

Cheers,

FYI- I'll be sharing the technical challenges we encounter here in this thread.  So far, we were able to run this promotion using Joomla 1.5.x and ChronoForms. 

Thought it might be helpful for those thinking of doing something similar.

Cheers,

Yeah... that reminds me... if you get your coin, please bump us.  I won't be bumping this thread aside from giving explanations of technical challenges in running this type of effort. 

If you're bitcoin-rich, feel free to send donations to my sig block address.  I'm rolling it into this giveaway (honestly), and hopefully will make ends meet in combination with my mining efforts.  Every .0006 BTC keeps this going.

Cheers,

RyanEnder

Mine has appeared already!  (It isn't confirmed yet, but it is appearing -- and I doubt they're about to double-spend one ten-thousandth of a bitcoin!)

Thanks for the free site.  Because I don't keep my bitcoin app open all of the time, it prompted me to browse your site as I waited for the app to launch.

Too bad I didn't see any bags with a dragonfly -- my wife loves them.

Dragonflies are too easy to work up.  We do custom orders.  It doesn't cost anything to submit a request through the website.  You just ask for something you want to see, and we respond with some samples and a quote.  If you don't like it, no worries at all.

Cheers, and thanks for taking a look.

Hi, very elegant site. Are the large tote bags suitable for daily groccery use? Also, does etsy.com allow paying for the items with BTC?

Thanks

GTABMX- Yup, they're good for groceries.  My wife has a pile of them, and she rotates them when she goes to the store.  She always gets gawked at and asked who made them.  It's why we started the site.

Cheers,
