Free bitcoins to the first 50 Ron Paul Forums users

[Elwar]

Hi all, I have not been around here for a while as I have been focusing on seeking liberty in my own life and finding alternatives to our failed system mainly through the technology of Bitcoin.

As an early adopter, I wish to give to the Ron Paul community and provide a tool that should help with future campaigns for things like pooling money to run ads, create videos, anything that would require many individuals getting together to fund something. As such I have created BitPools.

BitPools allows many individuals to pool their money with others toward common goals.
Once a solution is proposed, the pool members use the Bitcoin Blockchain to vote securely for the winning solution.

For the first 50 Ron Paul Forum users BitPools will be paying out 10 mBTC (the minimum required to participate) to each user that signs up at http://www.bitpools.com


Register, create a Bitcoin Address and save it in your user profile.


Then come post a message in this thread with your BitPools username and your BitPools address will be filled with 10 mBTC (.01BTC).


You can create a unique address in many ways, two easy solutions are:
Create a blockchain.info wallet: (https://blockchain.info/wallet/new)
Download and run VanityGen (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Vanitygen)


(One per person, only accounts created before June 2014)
Please allow 24 hours for your account to be filled.

How To Register


To create a user on BitPools you must first register. Go to http://www.bitpools.com and click on the Login/Register button on the left panel. This will display a window with a login and password field. Click the button on the bottom that says Register a new account

Create Bitcoin Address


In order to confirm that each user has enough bitcoins to pledge for the pools you must set a Bitcoin address that you own. BitPools will not store any of your bitcoins.

In order to verify that you are the owner of the Bitcoin address you must create an empty address. This can be done several ways. One of the easiest ways is to create a new Blockchain.info wallet used soley for BitPools. (You can also create an address using vanitygen, on the Bitcoin Core client you can click File -> Receiving addresses -> New. For this example we will create a new wallet at https://blockchain.info/wallet

Click on the New Wallet button and enter the required information. Be sure to write down your pass phrase and save your Identifier and password. Once you log into your wallet you will see a zero balance wallet. Your Bitcoin address is toward the bottom below the QR code.

Set Your Bitcoin Address


Copy your new Bitcoin Address and paste it into the Bitcoin address box on your BitPools profile.

After you set your Bitcoin address click on the V button to save your address. This will display your current zero balance.

Note: BitCoin address must have a zero balance when submitted. Your account will be confirmed after the address is filled with at least 10 mBTC.

When I try to add a bitcoin address with zero balance, it gives me the error that it must have at least 10 mBTC.

You must have at least 10 mɃ in your address to participate

When I try to add a bitcoin address with a larger balance, it gives me the error that it must be zero balance.

Your Bitcoin address must have a zero initial balance (to prove the address belongs to you).

The buttons for submitting/verifying/confirming the bitcoin addresses are not clear (V , X)

Cool site, I like the idea.

Did you code it yourself, or do you have a team?

The red message saying you need 10 mBTC is the right message after you have a zero balance address.

It will look like this:

You want zero balance and click the v

The 0.01 is what he is going to send you, if I'm understanding correctly.

I think the thing with sending the coin, is to prove you have control of the address. You start with a fresh 0 balance, then when asked you make a specified deposit, and he is going to make the deposit for you.

Even though it is a bit confusing, I'm pretty sure my address is still saved properly.

Coded from scratch myself with a few hired developers for help here and there.

Hmm, it's in there. Most likely a refresh thing. I need to go hit every command and refresh after a change due to the way it uses your browser as the client.

It will probably show up in your profile after you reload the page. And you should see your new balance of 10 mBTC.

A Rand Paul 2016 funding pool would be great. Plenty of time to plan for some big grassroots promotions while the bitcoin price rises.

 

[evilfunnystuff]

BTC arrived safe and sound, now to come up with an idea.

Don't know if I did it correctly, but my BitPool profile name is keef

I also started a wallet on blockchain, but am still getting the message that danno is getting. I am fairly new to bitcoin, and so is the bitcoin address needed somewhere?

I tried putting the address in the BitPool page. PM me if I am doing something incorrect. I don't feel comfortable about sharing the address on an open forum.

Can't I just take an empty wallet I have on BTC-e and upload it or do I have to create a new one from scratch on blockchain?

 

[Aratus]

cool idea...

 

[Barrex]

I tried it just for fun and it worked:
User name: Barrex
Address: 1PdirPHXJeuvHiBz3DR4hZARcpocoJ89eb
Easy.
Do not give me your bitcoins!

You can add new address to your existing wallet.

This is really brilliant idea and you are very generous person. Cudos to you. Keep in mind: You need to make sure that people that you are giving your bitcoins are US citizents!!!!!!!!!!! Because people like me are not legally allowed to donate to campaigns.
