Hi,

I'm developing a new platform (https://coindeo.com) and concept that revolves around challengefunding. What is challengefunding? Challengefunding turns crowdfunding on its head. Traditional crowdfunding projects have a project owner who asks the community for funding. Challengefunding has the community pledge funds upfront and requires a challengee to do something before funds are released. More info about my platform, Coindeo, can be found here: https://coindeo.com/about.

My platform also allows the funds to be directed to a third party like a charity, so the Ice bucket challenge is an example where people could have used Coindeo to incentivize a celebrity to participate in the challenge. I believe that platform can create interesting social dynamics like how much is it worth someone's time to create a video for charity (and the community) when there is a guaranteed amount of BTC waiting to be donated.

Currently, the platform uses Twitter to create bounties, so to participate in this round of testing you'll need a Twitter account. Coindeo itself does not require account creation nor does it require you to "Sign in with Twitter".

For this round of testing, I'll fund the first 25 people that upload video of a noob using bitcoin for the first time. Just reply to this thread with your Twitter handle and I'll send you a challenge over Twitter. Here's what you'll need to do in order to claim your bounty:

1) Tweet "address " to @coindeobot
2) Send a Direct Message (DM) to @coindeobot with the text: "claimBounty BOUNTY_NUMBER CLAIMCODE". BOUNTY_NUMBER is assigned to you after I send you a challenge. A link to the bounty details will be sent to you in a tweet. CLAIMCODE is an arbitrary code that you create in order to claim the bounty (must be 8 or more characters).
3) Upload your video. Goto https://coindeo.com/claimBounty/BOUNTY_NUMBER, enter your claim code and upload your video.
4) Wait for video to be approved. @coindeobot will tweet you when your video has been approved.
5) Retweet the "video accepted" tweet.
6) Wait for funds to be release.

Additional information about claiming your bounty challenge can be found here: https://coindeo.com/howto#claiming

If you'd like to help test the donation feature, please include the charity's Twitter handle. In addition to the funds being donated to your charity, I'll also changetip you 0.02 BTC after your video is approved.

Let me know if you have any questions.

thanks!

Seems like a pretty good idea to me! This may attract newbies (and some pretenders lol) to join this campaign A fun way to know things about bitcoins. Cheesy
