Its a cool idea, why are we picking this island in particular?
I think it is a bad idea. "you can lead a horse to water but not make it drink". a few may pick up on btc and follow through but my experience in life is that people excel or are interested when it comes from within and not imposed from outside. there are sufficient faucets already for btc. how many on that island are using those?
Good point but i think what would be handy is if some kind of survey could be conducted of how many people "get into bitcoin" after receiving a paper wallet voucher for a small amount.
I remember i got into bitcoin because someone i wanted to impress asked me if i knew anything about it - this made me get off my arse and finally read about what bitcoin was despite hearing about it for a couple years (doh). You could argue me getting into bitcoin didnt come from within. I did however recognize within 5 mins of reading this was something special.
