1) Create a few thousand instawallet.org pages/accounts. Record the URL's

2) Feed each account with, say, .01 bitcoin

3) Print cheap business cards or flyers with the instawallet URL address (one on each card)

4) Hand these out at the OccupyWallStreet protest.



The flyers/business cards should say something like "Here's free money that neither Wall St. nor the Fed can manipulate"



I think that'd be quite successful.

I'm sure a novice programmer could make a quick script to create those pages, record the URL's in an excel file, and export as CSV. Then create a new script to send .01 btc to all those addresses, maybe all done through Instawallet to remove all transfer fees (send 100 btc to instawallet, then .01 to 10,000 Instawallet addresses) I'm sure a novice programmer could make a quick script to create those pages, record the URL's in an excel file, and export as CSV.

Since the 0.01 BTC is worth only about a U.S. nickel / $0.05, these might otherwise be just discarded by many of the participants.



This might be sufficient motivation to the participants and they will in the process learn how bitcoins are used.



The alternate donation method to NYC General Assembly uses WePay which requires the contributor to give up identity, so perhaps include something suggesting that friends and family can donate (relatively) anonymously to #OccupyWallStreet using bitcoin.



Additionally, I read this:

"I was trying to buy some of the art here, but they say they dont know how to facilitate the selling of it."

So here's one method:

Print both the wallet's Bitcoin address for receiving Bitcoin transactions as well as the Instawallet URL for spending the funds, but make it so the card can be folded and the receiving address visible but the InstaWallet's spending URL hidden from view.

Included as well could be the suggestion to use

That service will cause an email alert to be sent when funds are received (on 0/unconfirmed) to the Bitcoin addresses registered.

One of the things on this weeks agenda is that the people behind the globalrevolution livestrem has been asking how they would start accepting bitcoin payments, and one of the regular goers is trying to get them to come to this meet up to talk about bitcoins' role in #globarevolution #occupywallstreet and maybe matt(aka carbonpenguin on this forum) whom have a connection with #feedtheprotest to exchange ideas and information.



Spread the news.

I usually pay about $90 for 5000 cards.



This would be good for just about any event. I used to hand out Ron Paul cards with info at events. First seastead company actually selling sea homes: Ocean Builders https://ocean.builders Of course we accept bitcoin.

Re: #OccupyWallStreet Idea - Massive promotion September 27, 2011, 08:38:55 PM #18 I don't know if this will fly down there - the protesters seem more concerned with solving their current problems and probably wouldn't like to introduce a whole new set of them.
