The easiest way to convince people about the uses of bitcoin is to demonstrate it. If you could give them an opportunity to send and receive some, without risk, that's a huge advantage.
So how about an app that simulates a bitcoin wallet? Some suggestions: - App would start up with say 50 imaginary bitcoins which can be sent to and received from demonstrator and learner. - They can easily reset amounts and even choose their own amounts - Send and receiving would take around same time as actual coins - Would have QR codes and typed-in wallet addresses - App would have QR codes pointing to where it could be installeded for new users. This way people that learned about it can in turn easily show others. - Could have an info page where additional tips about the currency are explained in simple terms - App would need as few permissions as possible, as people are already avoidant of risks - Probably should have an attention grabbing "This is only a demonstration!" label somewhere, just in case.
So that's it, a demonstration only wallet. Give newbies a chance to send and receive fake bitcoins without actually risking anything. Discuss..
