- How to redeem the short private key (22 or 30 characters) (minikey) codes digitally (which online wallets, which bitcoin clients support it), and how to convert the short private key code to the "full" long code that can e.g. be understood by most clients including the bitcoin.org client --> link to own conversion tool, zip-file or so
I want to hand out the one bitcoin rounds for Christmas as a "matrix" type thing.
This is currently my biggest problem in putting the gift together;
explaining how to get them into a wallet (blockchain.info (red pill))
or
explaining how to trade them for fiat (import and sell on gox then bitinstant to paypal (blue pill))
I wish a good "dummies guide to" existed. I am considering outsourcing / tipping someone to create a nice post with step by step screenshots explaining this.
Then I could hand someone one of the rounds, the bumper sticker, and a double sided card with a QR code / url (blue one side, red the other) to a step by step action plan.
(this is the idea I am trying to materialize for stocking stuffers)
TLDR; need a nice page to send clueless noobs to once I give them a coin.
