The party was generously sponsored by , (thanks !), and (thanks !). We had a total of 1,200 DAI (the dough stack) to airdrop to 200 wallets (the dough recipients). 🚀
and his team was kind enough to run that for us, airdropping the dough to each : 6 xDai each. 🎯
Step 4: Set up the point of sale
With more time, we would have taken Austin’s advise and set up a tablet to show the bar prices and large QR codes for easy payments
Instead, we kept things simple (and last-minute). This was the menu, and each Dai price had a unique QR code to set up payments (amounts & recipient) and pay in seconds with a connected phone.
Step 5: Distribute the Dough, Educate and Party!
We deployed maximum security to bring the 200 paper wallets to the party 👇
and started distributing the fresh dough. This crowd was fairly familiar with QR codes and wallets, making the process simpler, but it was an intuitive process nonetheless.
iPhone owners had an unfair advantage as their camera app detects QR codes. A pretty cool feature that should be in all phones…
During the party, we found a couple paper wallets lying around, exposing their private key, despite some being full! It is possible that their owners either did not care, or did not realise that someone else could acquire their xDai. Regardless, we should have clarified the need to destroy or hide the QR code once scanned, as it can be re-scanned anytime to load the private key. One takeaway for next time.
Step 6 (Optional): Do not leave loaded private keys at the venue
Was in on purpose to educate people who would find the loaded wallets?
Was it a mistake by the team?
I guess we will never know, but it might well be the best way to teach people about digital assets. It is much easier to care about a private key when you receive free money with it 😄
Conclusion
We love the Burner Wallet. It is user friendly, but of course it is not the safest . There is always a trade-off between convenience and safety: you probably don’t need a Ledger to secure $20, and you don’t want to use a Burner Wallet for $20,000.
For an event like RaveCC, throwaway private keys are ideal, and a side-chain is needed to avoid disproportionately large gas fees.
We look forward to a future where side-chains like xDai / Lightning Network ⚡️and good UX like Burner Wallet 🔥are widespread, and this might well be the future of vouchers and coupons, amongst other things! Instead of printing paper or physical items, participants give their public address and receive their airdrop ahead of the event.
