[ROUND 2] Wife is pregnant ***AGAIN***, how to bring bitcoin into the process?

[gadman2]

Cold store some bitcoins.

And also some $10's in altcoins that are not blatant pump dump scam.

I have never used an alt coin. I don't see the use in them.

I think that the vast majority of the altcoins are pump and dump scams.

For the OP: I don't think that bitcoin is really necessary to incorporate into the birth of your child. I may recommend buying a small amount to possibly give your child for a college fund or retirement fund.

I'm really interested in the "putting a video on the blockchain" idea. I'm not too familiar with it. Any leads?

You can put the cryptographic hash of a video in the block-chain: proving that it existed at a specific point in time.

Learned that my wife is pregnant yesterday. This will be our first child. So how do I incorporate bitcoin into the process? I have bitcoins to spend.

Anyone got any clever ideas? This has potential.

I bought my son a Casascius coin. I keep it in a safe and I will give it to him when he turns 18. I also made him a wallet. I put something on it every now and then.

I like this. Gives them something physical to touch. Great idea. I may steal it.

i type because i can

To my mind it would be bette to save some BTC...may be in future this BTC would help you to pay for college of you child

On the day the child is born, you can record the event in the blockchain (or sidechain).

Excellent idea! Why not start now? Create an address for the little one and record the "we're pregnant" announcement. You can do the "It's a Boy/Girl" too. You can also have your friends/fam suggest baby names in the messages too. The address will be a little piggy bank of coins and messages from daddy/mommy and friends. Hell, if I ever decide to have a kid, I think I might do this  

btw Congrats!

Great idea.
Keep a block chain diary linked to a vanity address. It's gonna be there forever.

In the mean time, spoil the wife and do it good.

P.S. Gongrats to you both...

We've come up with a few names. Anyways, thanks for the ideas people.

Create a vanity address for each name idea, and let friends and family vote on the name with BTC

If you are a miner, then send a fixed % of your profit to a wallet in her name, keep doing that til she is born and then change the rate until she turns 18. Then give her the wallet and watch her lose her mind. lol

I would open an online piggyback for my kid!

I think there is one here in Arkansas that accepts bitcoin, but I heard it was like 48$ per cut. So that's a big negative.

[Slark]

48$ per cut? I bet they are include bitcoin tax already. If you want to link your child to cryptocurrencies you can also think of some good name related to bitcoin. But I guess naming your child Bitcoin is rather wild...

Yes but imagine the media attention and the advertisement to Bitcoin !

We will most definitely not be naming our child bitcoin. Although I have entertained having a pseudonym for bitcoin of some sort. Like I said though, I haven't been able to think of a good one.

Interesting idea, I've read into storing things in the chain, how do you do so? Is there a tutorial or an explanation somewhere?

It's frowned upon by some since adding superfluous info to the already huge blockchain might be considered "bloat" even though Satoshi himself did it (more info on the mechanics).

Paul Snow and others are working on NotaryChains, which basically would allow you to record data and events without cluttering up Bitcoin's ledger.

Hey, a vanity address isn't a bad idea! You could also just go ahead and use a certain phrase that has a connection to your baby as a brainwallet phrase and SHA256() it on bitaddress.org! But make sure it's a complicated sentence no one can guess easily!

congrats!

maybe you can tip the delivery physician and hospital staff with btc
