Topic: Bitcoin Demonstration App (Read 613 times)
The easiest way to convince people about the uses of bitcoin is to demonstrate it.
If you could give them an opportunity to send and receive some, without risk, that's a huge advantage.
So how about an app that simulates a bitcoin wallet? Some suggestions:
- App would start up with say 50 imaginary bitcoins which can be sent to and received from demonstrator and learner.
- They can easily reset amounts and even choose their own amounts
- Send and receiving would take around same time as actual coins
- Would have QR codes and typed-in wallet addresses
- App would have QR codes pointing to where it could be installeded for new users. This way people that learned about it can in turn easily show others.
- Could have an info page where additional tips about the currency are explained in simple terms
- App would need as few permissions as possible, as people are already avoidant of risks
- Probably should have an attention grabbing "This is only a demonstration!" label somewhere, just in case.
So that's it, a demonstration only wallet. Give newbies a chance to send and receive fake bitcoins without actually risking anything.
