Quit trying to scam and do something useful with your time.
I always had a theory that if you wanted to steal hack the government and the elites dont fuck around with the rest it will come back to bite you.. I question your motives and other decisions you will make however people can always change so here is your chance.

For noobs, you would have a website that says: "generate a random new Bitcoin address from your browser! No need to use your digital wallet, try it today!" The noob would click on the link, and the bitcoin address would in fact be the address of the scammer. Noob would cut and paste this into their wallet, online or offline, and hit "Send", when they are transferring money between their different wallets, thinking they are sending themselves money. But any money sent by noob would go to scammer and not into noob's wallet, since it is the scammer's bitcoin address, and not a random new bitcoin address.
A foolproof scam. Or am I the fool who is missing something?
Too late, some one take this idea and make a PRO version: http://bitcoinvanitygen.com/One of our bettors at Luckyb.it lost 4 bitcoins creating a custom addy with that service. |

Ah yes, I found out, and indeed the generation of a public vanity address can lead to a scam of the kind I state: https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/get-custom-bitcoin-address/ |

Truth be told, there is a sucker born every minute, as the old saying goes. So, there is no doubt that some poor idiot would fall for the scam. But I highly doubt enough people would fall for it as to make you bitcoin rich by any means. Your scam would probably last less than a day after its launch as long as there are people like Spoetnik around who will be real quick to call your scam out to the entire community.
The real question though, is why on earth would you even consider, jokingly or not, trying to do something that would scam people out of their money?

Maybe I'm a white hat scammer? Somebody who calls out potential scams so that you don't fall into them? :-) |

I've been outed then... I'm outta here. Don't let the door hit ya on the way out! Wait, get back here, for I got here late for the party. I, too, have a scam in mind that would easily net ten grand per shot, and I'll sell it to you for only five grand, and if it doesn't work as outlined, then I'll double your money back. The beauty of my scam is that it involves nothing technical, for only a bitcoin (even any alt would work) wallet address is needed. I'll give you a hint: It involves a service for hire, one that's not delivered after payment is paid, and the person paying for said service would be a foul to turn you in even if they knew who you are, which they wouldn't. Hint number two: A many persons going through a divorce may consider such a service, same true for somebody close to somebody who was done wrong by some other. No more hints, for I'm calling it a night because I'm dead tired. |

A hitman for hire through Bitcoin? Only the very gullible would fall for such a thing, but then again the reason you get some many scam emails from Nigeria is that once in a million people there are some very gullible. |

The very gullible, and the very desperate. A fake hitman (which actually was an undercover agent) was part of the reason why Silk Road's funder was arrested. |
