IBM Bitcoin Rain BM Cloud rained money at Campus Party, the biggest geek event in the world. Participants downloaded a weather app and kept an eye on the forecast. At a given time it warned them that a different rain was approaching. A bitcoin rain. People then had to go to the right place in the event, at the right time and raise their cellphones to capture the money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Fed7NANkJE&feature=youtu.be

Yeah, pretty cool idea. Would have been funny if that app they had to download was malware and stole all the coins they had in their wallets  . |

How much did you get for raising your cellphone to capture the money? If there was enough money involved it could get like the new year sales with people fighting each other for the bargains.

Wow, that is amazing that something like this is possible. They distributed 50,000 USD, so chances are that people got quite the fraction of a bitcoin.. |

Maybe the higher you hold your phone or the higher you jump the more money you get? That would be fun. that's really a unique way to distribute/giveaway some bitcoins. how much bitcoin was distributed in total?
It tells you at the end of the video. |

A better way to get Bitcoins distributed to everyone on one hand and get some exposure for it on the other...

this is vastly better than casual mining, it could lead to a potentially global acceptance, much faster if done right, not with a insignificant amount as usual...
it's like a fun giveaway, i like it

Stunts like this from a major company will vastly increase the exposure of bitcoin. Way to go IBM!

Yeah, pretty cool idea. Would have been funny if that app they had to download was malware and stole all the coins they had in their wallets . Maybe it only stole back what it just gave them.  |

That's super cool and indeed a nice and creative idea to promote bitcoin. I remember seeing the same app before which was promoted in dogecoin forum but I guess when you have bitcoin, it will really get more attention that it deserved. It's definitely what we need to get the words out on bitcoin.
