What can community members do to contribute to Bitcoin's growth?
Hands down - this is the best way:
Print 100 $10 bitcoin paper wallets. (this will actually cost you far less than $1000 in the end).
Make the paper wallet on a half sheet with the other half sheet dedicated to introduce bitcoin and wallets. Further, include instructions how to set up a real wallet and to sweep the $10 into that wallet.
Pass these out to people who don't know about bitcoin. Most will not bother with learning about bitcoin. For those, you'll be able to recover your $10 of bitcoin because you still have the private key for those wallets. However, if people do discover bitcoin to the extent they are able to sweep your $10 into their private wallet, you never see that money again. However, that person is now a bona-fide bitcoin user. $10 per new user - a great investment.
The community would be huge very fast if every bitcoin user today printed and passed out even 10 of these wallets. ($100)
Can somebody please help design this 'Bitcoin introductory wallet' in agreement with the concept described above? If we set up a nice standard, all us bitcoin pros can figure out how to fund some and send them to our friends.
Whadda you say: good idea?
