It's too bad testnet versions of the common wallets and other bitcoin tools out there aren't easily accessible - IE there should exist a testnet.blockchain.info for example.
That'd make it too easy to scam newbies. How would they be able to tell the difference? Yeah, sure, they could
read, but we both know they wouldn't.
Exactly, if I'm gonna give away bitcoins, I'm gonna give away bitcoins... I already do this through geocaching. some people at work geocache, and I give them flyers to hide in the geocaches..
I used to distribute flyers with directions for bitcoinfaucet; however, now I just give away flyers with private keys and instructions on how to import into blockchain...
so far... zero bitcoins claimed, haha... so it's not too expensive to just print paper wallets and give people bitcoins b/c they don't use them.
I keep electronic copies, and say the bitcoin coupon expires in one year, so I'll just move the bitcoins or give them to someone else after a year passes.
