I wish I could see such examples more often... you can get similar Dogecoins at http://twitter.com/coinok every hour, search for the QR codes

Well that's certainly one way of attracting more users to BTCitcoin so good job to the Turkish team of Bloomberg. Although on the video they didn't show how to do it exactly in order to claim the bounty (it would have been better that way), it's still fun way to let the word out.

This is great advertisement for bitcoin. Hope to see this in mainstream media more...

Kind of reminds me of this story a few years ago: http://www.digitaltrends.com/health-fitness/fan-holding-sign-espn-racks-25000-bitcoin-donations/

I wonder if there's anyone here in this forum who can confirm that they we're able to get the Bitcoin Giveaway on Bloomberg. I've seen this kind of news in Facebook all day and some of them are just nicely edited news report looking video. I would not even try to scan that QR code.

Just in case i might see it next time, with which app am i supposed to scan it with? When i use qr-app, just a code is appearing. Do you write it somewhere manually?

So much fun, why is Bloomberg promoting Bitcoin?
Seriously, are we the leading edge of the real-life New World Order?

They provided a QR code for people to scan to claim the 5 mBTC .... I use i-nigma on my phone to scan these QR codes. The first one to do it, will get the coins. This is nice to see, and some people like Roger Ver also did it in some of his videos, to explain how it works.

We should see more of these giveaways, because it will attract attention, but make the reward much bigger.. 5mBTC is nothing.

Where do you paste the code you get after scanning, in order to recieve the prize?

[DimensionZ]

I think you need to scan the code with a mobile wallet for example Copay and the private keys will be imported so you can send the coins to your main wallet.

I guess Michael's going to run for president   well, this is a good promotion. if they keep doing this, people get to know more about this system. I mean BloombergHT is one of the most known economy channel in Turkey.

Looks like we are.  At least we want to think that we are and no one is able to snatch this hope from our hearts. )

Great news indeed. I wish Bloomberg was doing this once a week at least, it will be good for Bloomberg and good for Bitcoin.

[Erkallys]

I have to say that it is an interesting concept. However, only the people who already know Bitcoin will be able to claim it, so this doesn't look really attractive for me.

Okay, but how do you do the last part. Where do you copy the private key in order to recieve it in your wallet?
