some apps wont let you re-send without atleast 1 confirm.. so imagine the delay.
especially if the second transaction has to wait for the first transaction to confirm before it gets confirms..
the starbucks think was not really a random act of kindness because the people were simply still handing over the same amount of funds. yet the receipt was for a different person.. so no one actually gained anything from it.
i prefer pay it forward campaigns as more like the proper random acts of kindness efforts rather then a payment chain. you know where you surprise someone at random and give them something that benefits them. and changes their day.
a simple "your $4 coffee has been paid for, now pay me $4 for the next person" is most definitely just an advertising scheme

Hi!
I was listening to a radio show talking about the big pay it forward 380 + people did at a star bucks recently and it got really viral news marketting about it.
I was wondering if anyone ever was in line at a store or business that takes BTC and someone paid it forward for them by using BTC?
I think this would be a really neat thing to have happen. I also wonder what are the implications of this? Is this possible to do or would it be more of a hassle? I assume the places are using 0 confirmations and lets say it happens at a starbucks that takes bitcoin.
thoughts??
