Just have your address QR code on the front and back of a tshirt with some slogan, and walk around. See how many people you get to scan you.

This is so ridiculous lol.

Clever kid, I should have thought to do the same at my school's ESPN Gameday event

I'm waiting for the day some smokin' hot college chick gets a temp tattoo of a BTC QR-code on her butt cheek and then hits the beach in a bikini.

Interesting use case for Bitcoin. You don't see people holding up signs saying "donate to my bank account: xx-xxx-xxxx". Bank account numbers are considered much more private. And even if you did share your bank details, it would take days for anyone to send an inter-bank transfer.

With Bitcoin though, it's easy to give & receive anonymous and (essentially) instant donations. No strings attached. Seems like the perfect tool for the job.

Very clever. Not sure it was $22,000 of clever, though.

Bitcoin is indeed one of the best ways organizations can solicit no-strings attached donations. Now we just need some of them to start accepting BTC as payment...

There was a 14 year old kid in my neighborhood who made 8.2k

[rvdb1984]

great idea and great news. Also very good that he gives the better part to charity!

[playaz]

Now I want to know how he got the QR code. I know that cavirtex doesn't give them.

[Neo.op]

Woah thats some luck.

[idakle]

Smart move. Just by waving his address like that. Would not work with a normal bank account number

What did he do?

Was it similar to this?

Whatever the case, that 14 year old is one lucky dude...

[AuroraHF]

I just realized something. What if the guy who posted the QR code on the web is actually posting his own QR code?

[sweetNlow]

WOW...thats genius....whelp I'm off to make a sign and find the next sporting event
