Have you guys heard about this? http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2hnu8c/college_student_receives_038_bitcoin_by_holding/

Would you consider doing this at a popular event?

Nope, for the same reason I would not consider sitting at the entrance begging for change.

This is nothing new. It has been done before and will be done again. Not particularly smart or innovative. College student should get a job.

If it's just for 1 hour of work, then why not???

Reminds me of a guy who had several job offers for holding up a looking for job sign in the London Underground. I think its quite enterprising...

The future of begging is here, I suppose.

I've heard about that kind of thing too, I remember reading somewhere about a guy who had a degree in Aerospace Engineering or something and did that and ended up getting a job.

A lot of pics like this on the internet. E-begging or tipping it depends

That's different though. This is begging, the other one is getting his name out there and willing to work with his skills he has earned.

It was because of the picture of the kitten

That's like 19 bucks an hour. Not bad.

0,38 BTC = 110 USD per hour ... OK, it's not cheap.

He should have included a bit.ly link to something of his choice. The pagviews would be huge.

How integral to bitcoin will qr codes ultimately be?

I think it is smart. It may not be original but it works. There was a time last year when someone held up a sign at a college football game asking his mom to send him bitcoin with a QR code for his bitcoin address. The sign was shown on TV for only a few seconds and ends up getting more then $25,000 worth of bitcoin

i don't have a camera that can decrypt these QR codes?   how is anyone gonna be able to donate when they're poor as shit

Yikes, that's not bad for an idea he probably came up with the same morning.
