Holiday Season Card with QR code

[Eclipse26]

Actually this is a good idea. You can give it to your friends and relatives to let them be aware of bitcoin, however isn't this too much work to do?? Cause for me, you're the one already giving the gift and you still have to work on the card itself. But if you're really willing to do it, why not?
For me this idea is good for companies who will offer this kind of reward and such for their customers, but as an individual, it'll be a lot of work.

After some thoughts, looks like its going to be more technical. Cant find a simple way on how to give Bitcoins to someone with zero knowledge in Bitcoin. I was thinking of just giving away an online wallet like Blockchain, complete with username and password. All the receiver needs to do is log-in using the provided wallet id written on the card and the password. BTC Address is funded.

I thought giving a QR code to someone with zero knowledge to crypto is like giving complex mathematical equation to a 3rd grade. Once they receive, they might stare at it for a long time and throw it away.

Holiday season is just around the corner and I am planning to come up with my own design of card with holiday seasons message and a QR code that they can scan and get Bitcoins as a gift. Its not limited to Holiday seasons only, it maybe used for special occasion too like birthday and weddings. Its a simple way to promote Bitcoin and increase awareness. What do you think guys?

I think it's a good idea! The technology of QR codes is now very common and scanners for them are in every smartphone. Truly, this is the easiest and most enjoyable way for people to get acquainted with cryptocurrencies. Be sure to show us the prototype of such a map later, it will be very interesting to see the embodiment of your project in life!

This is a great idea. It is so straight forward and easy. Just add the QR code and print out the card. You can teach the person you giving the gift to how to safely make their own wallet and then how to import the QR code.
It will probably be exciting for them since it is a new experience. Nice conversation starter as well.

Please also include in the card places to spend the bitcoin and maybe a few easy to find links with some decent and clear info about the bitcoin basics. Just so they understand they are in control of their funds and how to keep them safe.

I think you have a lot of storage assets so you are thinking of going on vacation later this year, and what you are talking about QR Codes might not be of interest to us, but I advise you to be very careful when making transactions with bitcoin using third-party QR codes because now their scammers always use things like that to steal our bitcoin.

That's a unique idea but what bothers me is that, are you just going to give it to someone with an account and keys already? Or even with people who doesn't have idea with bitcoin. If yes, it means they still have to create a wallet? But what if since they lack knowledge, they might get scammed by others or what if when you gave it to them, they might lose the greeting cards?

Yes I've thought of that too, not everyone can and will be able to understand how to create a wallet and how to sweep the coins in an existing Bitcoin wallet. The term "private keys" sounds like an alien word to those with zero knowledge. I am still working on this idea since I still have more than a month to work on it before the holiday season.

It is possible, but this method is prone to security concerns as using QR induce a lot of issues that relate to cryptocurrency hacking. There is an article from forbes wherein utilizing QR is not safe for some reasons. What you can do is to directly indicate the private key in the wallet as well as the public key, this will serve as a new and fresh bitcoin wallet that is much safer than using QR codes. Though using QR codes make it simpler for users to have their wallet, for us to ensure the security of our funds, sometimes it is better to go back to the traditional.

there are a lot of more confusing terms and concepts to people with zero knowledge than "private key", in fact this is one of the most clear terms that is also self explanatory! it is a "key" that does exactly what a key does, it "unlocks" your secrets and should be kept "private".

Its possible that they might end up feeling remorse about it because of scammers since they don't have enough understanding on how they can use it, maybe its better that you give them idea so they won't fall into some sort of scam. As you can see scammers these days are using strategies and techniques to deceive others and they can take advantage on it to get the benefits that they wanted, but if you have given them some ideas and information that can enlighten them then I think it will be much better, right? in that way they won't get confuse.

Let me make it simple and safe for you. Just print some paper wallets on a old computer and printer not connected to the internet and fund them

with a few coins (Important : record the private key) and then buy a commercial Xmas card and put the paper wallet in there. This way you do not

have to deal with scam QR code scanners that might grab the private keys. The reason why you record the private key is simple, if they do not use

those paper wallets in the time period you specified, then you just sweep them yourself and give them the fiat value.    A lot of people are very

lazy, so they will not go through the trouble to use those coins, so you can still take it back.

I have made a gift card for each member of my family. I will teach my brother how to buy steam gift cards with his and I will show my parents how easy it is to buy things online with it. They might not adopt it but I at least want them to have the opportunity to experience it and just so they can actually say they have not only used bitcoin and but also made a purchase with it.

Exactly. I don't see why it is so difficult to grasp for some. Even mining is easy to understand I understood is within the first ten or twenty minutes fo learning about bitcoin. It basically the same as actual mining which is why they called it that  Makes me wonder what goes on in some peoples heads.

That's why you educate them. Teach them and arm them with the things they need to know. That with common sense and some patience and they will be fine.
