Try a monochrome laser printer with a decent envelope feeder. You can deface stacks of bills rapidly and the ink doesn't smear. ... or so I've heard...  |

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Someone should be able to input the serial # of the bill on a website and get a small sum of coins.
That $10 bill has 6x "4's" on it, wish I had it to play liar's poker.

I wrote "What is bitcoin" on most of the bills, and bitcoin.org on some others, sometimes both. In the end I started to really like "Bitcoin... a better currency", and "Stop Inflation, Bitcoin.org" Here are the pics! My donation address is 16R2fRnCa2VLrHLwa1gTWFH5P1uGjtRMFw  image, image, image, image, image links removed When I clicked on this image for an enlargement, the target site attempted to nail me with one of those fake scareware antivirus programs. |
Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

Imageshack is usually pretty good. How are you browsing without some sort of ad blocking though?  |

Here's something I thought of to print on a dollar... thought the general public might tune into loathe for Bernanke. fire bernanke use bitcoin  I have a vinyl cutter, can offer this as a weatherproof vinyl window decal for 18 BTC. (it's a cutout, not printed, each letter is an individual sticker and the whole thing is applied as a sheet) Someone ought to turn this into a red rubber stamp for stamping dollar bills as well. My local Office Max can create self-inking stamps from a .bmp image for $20, possibly so can yours. |

Cool images! Changing "stop the fed" by "stop inflation" would make it meaningful outside the US. hehehe, I would like to see some euros with such stamp. |

Maybe nitpicking, but 'stop inflation / bitcoin.org' would work better imo. Google currently resolves the search for bitcoin very well, but seeing the added traffic the owner of bitcoin.com might pull some neat SEO tricks and get that on top of google... just saying.

Perhaps a bit of blasphemy: replacing the original phrase with "in bitcoin we trust" !

Here's an image, based off the one above, Suitable for using as a stamp (BMP, 300dpi, slightly over 1/2 inch in size):  I would LOVE to get handed a bill with this on it.  |

If you wanted to do that, you could just go all the way and print some up at VistaPrint. |

The Post-it note reaches 1, maybe 2 people.
The writing on a bill reaches every person who looks at the bill until it's tossed into the furnace.
I like the writing better. You, of course, are free to do as you please.

On second thought, I don't like this, especially if you try to use these notes in real shops.
I think it's ok it you give the note for free, for instance for charity. But trying to force it into circulation is a bit too an aggressive advertisment method imo.

Are you serious? I could put a million dollar bills with bitcoin all over them into circulation and that would be like a drop in the ocean. No way is that aggressive. |
