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?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

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.
