Expert dismisses claims WWII pigeon code has been crackedI don't believe anybody has offered a reward to the first person who cracks it. What if some Bitcoin entity did such that via a press release? Wouldn't that bring awareness to Bitcoin, but in a better light than the Mitt Romney episode? I'm thinking
Bitcoin 100.
Better yet, what if a whole slew of Bitcoin entities got on board, each offering a
BTC100 reward/prize to the first person who cracks the Pigeon Code. Bitcoin Magazine could dedicate an entire article to such an endeavor, for it is crypto related. And every subsequent issue will have a paid ad offering up the reward, paid for equally by all the Bitcoin entities offering up the prize.
The list may look like the following:
Bitcoin 100
Butterfly Labs
Memory Dealers
Bitcoin Magazine
Bit Pay
Mt Gox
Seals with Clubs
Bit Brew
Bees Brothers
BitInstant
Casascius
Assuming 20 names on the list, that would equate to over a $25K prize, and the ad would only cost 1/20 the prevailing rate for each business on the list.
As long as there's at least 20 names on the list, there probably wouldn't be any problem with some advertisers bowing out every now and then. Then again, the list may grow, demanding a larger ad space, and less that each entity has to dole out to be placed on the list. And the list will be on the online version where each name is linked to their respected website. Looks to me like a win-win can't-lose proposition.
