I barely know how to use my phone let alone code so don't waste time saying why don't you do it, but what about this suggestion to breed new uptake of Bitcoin.


Imagine people can click on a link on FB or whatever to see for themselves how easy it is to make a payment with Bitcoin. Basically recreate a fake visual Bitcoin wallet site that anyone can click around and get help tips and then guides you to make a payment to Mr X. Maybe do it like game apps do these days by guiding you to click buttons etc.  The whole point would be demystifying bitcoin to people and giving everyone that 'why didn't I use this earlier' lightbulb on moment of sending Bitcoin to someone even if that someone is a fake Miley Cryrus account.


If it's a decent educational visual and fun site then it could link off to download real wallets etc and you could get paid by Bitcoin tips (of course). I think we are in the stage where many people hear about Bitcoin but never use it, similar to the early days of the internet.

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

Should it mimic bitcoin exactly? Such as with confirmation times, current mining difficulty and such? It's possible. Post around in the project development section. It will definitely happen.


An educational App should be released to aid with the use of bitcoin. It should be something like a small virtual ecosystem comprising of pools,exchanges and maybe even faucets.

I was thinking a more cartoonish version of a wallet, no need for miner crap etc. Just some visual interactive wallet that allows you to cut and paste an address from a fake celebrity list on one side maybe, you input and then it can give a fun visual portrayal of your coin flying like magic fairy money dust around the globe, haha.

I guess many of the videos of abitcoin are well done, just adding that interactivity and educational element that shows an average Joe how easy it is to send to somone. I thinking simple colourful, visual with humor, maybe mocking how much hassle banking online is in comparison.  Cheesy

Maybe but what might seem completely simple and logical might seem like Advanced Algebra to them. Of course people need to use the real thing at some point but I see this as a way to give people the satisfaction of making and seeing how they could make a payment without extra unessecary stuff. I personally use multibit wallet which is easy as hell but it still had a lot going on when I first saw it that made me wonder if I was doing something wrong.

Plus I was thinking more colourful and educational that anyone barely interested could click around on and quickly see what Bitcoin is. Many people lets not forget hear the word Bitcoin and have no friken idea what that means. Give people the simple eureka moment of easily sending an amount to a chosen fake profile and ai think you are 50% done in making a new Bitcoin convert.

if you can make it more like a game, "farmville" style it would attract more facebook people for sure, they love those thing  Cheesy

It must have some power in shaping opinions especially in the area of kids education games cause guess how's doing a load of it?

It feels kind of sick and twisted like a Pedofile being in charge of a Kindergarten.

What about downloaded game or application, it must be smart and easy for non-technicall users like my or parrents of most users here are cause that is one of the finished group.
