I'm looking for something that doesn't have a private key on it, more like something where people go to a website and redeem it. Does something like this exist?

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

That's the problem with bitcoins. If you are not the only one who knows the private key of an address, you don't own those coins.  |

What's the difference between a private key and some code you give them to redeem it? |

Read the title, to give bitcoins to people. |

Read the title, to give bitcoins to people. Let me make my question more explicit - why wouldn't you just send them to an address? And if you want to something to someone in person why wouldn't you just give them cash or checK ? |

I'm trying to give bitcoins to people to get them interested, and those people won't have addresses yet. I want something non-technical (not a private key) to give them that's easy to understand, but still holds bitcoin value. |

Without a private key, you have no Bitcoin value, as all Bitcoins must be attached to addresses that are attached to private keys. This site has a great process for printing some very nice-looking paper wallets that are good for handouts. They should be relatively easy to understand because people are used to the concept of paper money. |

Great find! I think you mean btctip.org rather than .com. Bitcointalk thread for the site is here. |

You mean like if I gave someone a piece of paper with a note - email me with your address to reedem .1 btc - and he emails me and I send .5 btc. Except You're paying middle-man fees to a company and the person has to go through some kind of verification procedure or create an account? And this is instead of just giving someone 50 bucks ? Makes sense to me. |
