1 BTC for the most creative idea on how it will be used

[Nagan]

I see smarter ideas already.

Just keep trying even better - think of blockchain, analysis, divisibility, spreading. Anything hacky-technical you can think of. Or just something simple elegant and altruistic. Surprise me!

[SgtSpike]

I would do a send-many of 0.00000001 BTC to every Bitcoin address ever used, in an attempt to de-anonymize Bitcoin addresses by grouping them all together with default client behavior of including transactions from different addresses together.

[Dreamweaver]

I'd make myself a Printcoin bill and fund it with that 1 BTC. With that I'd bring it to my favorite little organics shop near my school and show it to them, and use the paper bill to get them to better understand bitcoin as a currency. Hopefully they'd then consider accepting bitcoin as payment, especially considering they aren't doing so well. Maybe then the use of bitcoin would spread throughout my community ever so slowly. It'd be worth a shot

[battmann]

I would put the full amount into my site getfreebitcoin.com for my TwitterGames and newbie raffles. The whole point of the site is to help spread the enjoyment of bitcoin to those who can't buy any/don't know much about bitcoin in general. I usually hold a Tgame or raffle everyday with a 0.01BTC prize, sometimes twice a day. As you can imagine that gets pretty expensive. So far I have been able to pay about 50/50, that is 50% out of pocket, and 50% on the btc generated from newbies clicking the links on my site (which lead to more free giveaways). I hope one day to make it so that the site is self sufficient, and can generate its own prize money. For now I am content with the occasional donation by fellow advocates of spreading the word of BTC, and my own coinage, but a 1BTC donation to the sites newbie giveaway will surely allow me to up the prize money/get rid of some of the coinurl links (hate those things).

Well that is what I would do with it, if anyone wants to donate to the site, or you decide that the idea is worth while, the newbie raffle/giveaway fund address is in my signiture!

Thanks for holding something like this!

Thanks for spreading the love

Everyone should thank this guy, he allowed the TwitterGames newbie giveaway on getfreebitcoin.com possible for weeks to come. Thank you for helping me spread the love

I would use the 1btc to create a program to send 1 satoshi to every child born on earth for the next 5 years.

My thread has been moved to Gambling & Games etc... What the hell? There are more appropriate places than this.

Where are the other ideas? I expect more.

The decentralized market using a PHP plugin is one of the best ideas on the page.

Take your pick
If i had a bitcoin i would ....
Buy a dragon
Give it away to north koreans (lol)
attempt to split a satoshi using the square ro0t symbol in the transaction
send the first bitcoin to space(might need help with this one)
make a forum site for bitcoins where upvotes cost satoshis and are given to the poster
buy off a senator to lobby for bitcoin
own my first bitcoin
give it to a homeless person(who has no computer)
brand all my cows with info on bitcoins so when aliens abduct them aliens adopt bitcoins
give 1 satoshi to 100 million addresses at once and watch the blockchain crash

I wanted share a couple other interesting ideas.  One I liked is posting an ad on Craigslist for a grassroots giveaway of  Bitcoins to all who email me there address.  That would help spread the word and get btc in the hand of the general public also I'd email them instructions to come and learn more about Bitcoin here.

Starting a transparent bitcointalk based business run by trustworthy members. This will be able to benefit the community and the economy as a whole.  Starting small with Bitcoin bake sales or maybe some kind of barter/escrow service to help connect trusted member.  Some profits can be used for newbie giveaway contests and starting new ventures like raffles auctions for charitable causes.  Or maybe a class that teaches how to safely use BTC without fear, sharing small portions of the coin with newbs to use how they see fit with the promise to repay the debt and give the next person to learn the same lesson.

.  The goal would be a success story for the community started with a single coin.  A while giving people there first coins to learn and understand what Bitcoin brings to the table.  I think it would be interesting to see what the community could do with a single coin and how many people would benefit from such a humble start.

Lastly a Youtube contest would be good to get the attention of newcomers.  The maker of the best vid gets .X BTC and people that were referred/viewed the winning vid get some free coins creating some excitement and interest.  The video would be to about attracting teaching newcomers the value of Bitcoins.

who won

Time to get back to the deal.

Personally, I adore the idea of the single bitcoin being distributed in a traceable way, but there weren't that many proposals on it (at least for what I expected).
So it's not like: "I will add it to my wallet and will buy/develop/gamble from the pool". Sure, any development can lead to really cool things, but it's not the main point here. There's no problem with taking half of BTC to yourself and using the rest for a bigger purpose, however there were not that many deep proposals on it.


I've selected these favorites, and to make it a bit harder for a final winner, I'll ask to prove their points. So, guys, if you care, please give more details on how you are going to do it and prove it with blockchain/timelog etc.:

Could you elaborate on how the plugin is going to function? So far it's a bit vague.

And thanks to everyone else too!

[Hfleer]

Buy drugs?

lol, good one.

[i3lome]

I would use 1 BTC to get in on a Group Buy for Asci Miners goin fir BTC0,079 BTC then  Keep 2 or 3 for me and give the rest away to new comers and poor people like me, that cant afford the Big Boy toys

[uMMcQxCWELNzkt]

I would use it to buy a new batch of Bitcoin Cryptocondoms for sale.

[Psikopit]

I would use this BTC to tatoo the bitcoin symbol on my butt... You have another one to give away?

[lerelerele]

to develop a thermometer placed in the arm for long times to warn of a second person by bluetooth/wifi/3g by sound or vibration to sleeping in separate rooms even a mother can control the temperature of her childs or parent putting a limit achieved temperature and issue the notice to the receiver.

I'd forgotten about this. It's been a long time -- quite a lot has happened since I posted here (see my sig, LOL). I'm actually in the process of giving away 20 BTC as "marketing expenses" (special offer) to new users on my new China exchange -- and dealing with all the upfront losses as a result.

I'd still be up for this though -- I won't turn down 1BTC. :-) Obviously I have a vested interest. Here's how I'd do it...

Have you heard about the current Chinese 'Gold Rush'? I'd print out 2,000* high quality flyers and give them to people / leave them lying around outside Shanghai's big gold shops, and to a lesser extent around the business district.

The flyer would be printed on glossy paper, double sided. Top side would be about Bitcoin and how it is "Gold 2.0". The bottom side would be "how to buy", but would include directions for my exchange :-)

* The quantity would be such that the total cost would be 2BTC -- I'd double your money. I might have to include expenses for handing them out though, as flyposting here is quite high-risk. If after the first day I deemed it too risky, I'd pay someone else to do it for me.

I use this 1BTC for go to every shop of my town and encourage them to use bitcoin, helping them how use it and buying something with that money.

The best way to use bitcoins, how the currency that is, is using it.

So BitPirate if you haven't printed the flyers yet - you are the winner. 
Just one thing: I would like to get some proof, could you post some photos of the flyers or something similar here? In that case please give me your address.
