Hey everyone!
I just released Coinbolt V2 an Android mobile wallet (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coinbolt.bitcoin). It has two things that make it different than every other wallet:
1. It is preloaded with testnet Bitcoins and contains an integrated experience with a fake Bitcoin testnet shop: https://www.coinbolt.com/catshop/ (open source too: https://github.com/coinbolt/catshop) This gives new users a way to test-drive Bitcoin in a fun and interactive way without any risk of buying or losing Bitcoins. Also, you can test the wallet to make sure that you're comfortable with it.
2. It has a backup system that no other wallet has. Essentially it encrypts the data on your device and backs up all of your account names, metadata, testnet data, etc seamlessly. However, it does not backup or copy any of your private keys to the server. Your entire wallet can be restored with the click of a link (securely). Seriously, you have to experience it to believe it. Fortunately you can with just using testnet.
So, do you guys think it's a good idea to use testnet coins to bring new users into Bitcoin?
