Testing out BitforTip.com's new app for iOS, and heading to Tokyo to buy a computer with Bitcoins!
My friend's killer app Bitfortip, based on his project/website Bitfortip.com, is now available for iOS in the app store.
He has commissioned me to make a bit of a promotional video for the app, and as such, I am headed to Tokyo this Friday night to do so.
HOW DOES BITFORTIP WORK?
Well, it's really easy, actually. First, You download the app, sign up, and then post an inquiry about anything under the sun:
- Where can I find these shoes?
- Is Ayurvedic medicine related to yoga?
- What's the best Mexican restaurant in San Francisco?
- I've seen these sunglasses on TV. What brand are they?
- WHERE CAN I BUY A COMPUTER FOR BITCOIN IN TOKYO???
(In the interest of full disclosure, I already know where I can buy one, but for the sake of testing out the app, and making the promo video, I am asking.)
Next, you set a reward amount it be disbursed to the what you deem the most helpful crowdsourced answer.
Finally, you get your answer, a fellow Bitfortip user gets a tip, and badda-bing badda-boom, there it is!
Whaddya think? Pretty cool, huh? I am honestly very excited about this new app, and hope to see it become an even bigger success than it already is. Fun stuff.
I'm gonna see what answers I get, and then head down to the Tokyo to pick up a new computer with Bitcoin (thanks to Steem funds) at one of the major electronics stores accepting it as payment here in Japan.
See you in Tokyo!

Thats great. If only there was a way to reward the poster... then I guess it would be the utopian steemit community all over again.
;)
Careful of the "Status" you wish for :)
So we can answer such questions and get paid? Nice concept.
Thanks for sharing! Wish you a great Sunday and succes to your friend!
This is what i call good news! Someday we will be everything with BTC!
Yes, the only thing I remain vigilant about is government surveillance of crypto, which will most certainly be happening on a massive level soon. I want a world where people can use whatever money they want. Bitcoin, paper monies, gold, barter goods...anything! Get the state out of there and let the free market work!
I've never heard of this app before.
It seems pretty useful haha
I might look into it more
I have already downloaded BitforTip in my opinion this is the most convenient and interesting application I like it
Yes, that is the way to do it. Enjoy, and goo purchase.
Interesting idea, but wouldn't be more profitable to convert a bitcoin into national currency and then make the purchase?
that seems profitable
I'm going to download it now
