GSUS Worldcoin Promotion.

One thing that finally got me over my skepticism of Bitcoin was when I actually downloaded the client and started using it.

These days however the BTC client takes days to download, and hogs many GB of Hard drive space and seems sort of clunky to me.

So to Help promote crypto currency to those of you still stuck in the stone age I am offering 50 WDC free to the first 10 long time GSUS members that go to http://worldcoinfoundation.org/ and download the WDC client. WIndows, Mac, and Linux versions are available.

You have to download it, install it and then wait for it to sync with the network. Syncing should take 5-6 hours.

Once that is done post your WDC address here in the thread and I will send you 50 WDC to play with. I also have some other goodies but will talk about that later.

This offer is open first to members that have been at GSUS 6 months or more and have over 100 posts. If after a few days I don't have 10 takers I will open it up to anyone else on the forum.

I may decide to extend the offer but it is at my discretion.

Let me know if you have any questions or need help trouble shooting.

okay, i downloaded it, now what?

On your client in the bottom right hand corner there should either be two arrows making a small circle if your client is syncing. It does it automatically. If you hover your mouse over this a little window with your progress should appear. When you are fully synced there will be a green check mark instead.

Also next to this are a few little bars showing how many connections to the network you have.

This actually seems pretty neat. I downloaded the wallet and it's synching right now.

Well their primary use right now is as a store of wealth or a way to transfer value freely anywhere on the globe.

50 WDC is only about $1.60 of value right now but I can easily send it to anyone taking me up on the offer and I pay no transaction fee and it is almost instantaneous. Madfranks payment was fully confirmed in under a minute. WDC is blazing fast.

Think of it as way to work around the banks high user fees and potential future capitol controls. I would never pay $10+ to a bank to wire $1.60.

Once crypto's become more mainstream you will be able to to purchase things with them but that could take awhile.

WDC is fast enough to be processed at real storefronts. BTC is slow and to be used for regular purchases like a cup of coffee or something would require a middleman to process transactions.

Mine has a green bar on the left bottom and says synching. Only 600,000 more blocks to go...this is not a fast process!

On your client click the receive coins tab. You should see your address. Copy and pasting it is the safest way to use the address. After pasting it I usually visually verify the first and last three digits of the wallet address if those are correct everything in between should also be right.

Downloading the blockchain is a big pain but once you have it it is easy to keep it updated.

I've got to admit, this is pretty cool.

Is it wise to publicly post the wallet addy?

Yep that address is just the hash of the public key. The wallet consist of a public and private key. So giving out the address is fine and is the way the crypto currencies are intended to be used.

Not if you are trying to be 100% anonymous. There are ways to "wash" your coins and send them to a new address that is not linked to the original.

For a giveaway like this it doesn't matter that much.

If we are talking mucho $$ then yeah.

so how do i fix the non syncing issue? any ideas?

I know for the windows client I had to tell windows firewall to allow the program access to the internet. Is linux similar?

Tell everyone you know they're invincible!, a sure thing!, the government can't touch them ever!, and they are the currency of the future!...and then dump them on the unsuspecting rubes.
Then count your profits. :D
