Today I have seen a picture on the internet
*source (https://www.techzim.co.zw/2016/05/bond-notes-government-bitcoin-zimbabwe/)
This gave me a new idea, which currently doesn't exist on the market.
A company could generate as many BTC address as they can.
They can fill these addresses, with different amounts:
10BTC
1BTC
0.1BTC
0.01BTC
you can fill an address list with private key to the ATM.
When someone want money, able to purchase BTC with Bank card, or cash, the ATM after successfull transaction give paper based notes, which contains a private key, which can be scanned to a wallet.
Why this idea worth money? Because you can work fully offline. For example with coupons you can purcase BTC offline at the ATM, and get the paper based money.
The paper contains BTC without transactional fee, and immediately in your ownership.
After you get the notes, you can handle them as traditional money, without any more trace, without any more transaction fee. You can make economy with these. What you need, a closed form like the scratching cards. but these cards show the address where you can check the balance of the note, and for use, you can scratch.
I think this worth the money to use for business.
If you find interesting the concept, and realise this idea, please send 1BTC to my address:

Thanks!
Good idea!!
Great article and idea!
The publisher has done good luck
I can learn a lot about this helpful post
That’s a good idea! Very interesting, good luck for that 🍀

That’s a genius idea @cuttie1979
I have no doubt that this will be created someday... you should do an ICO 😁
Good idea..but what are the downsides of this? Surely there must be some
This idea is just like fiat paper money. You have to put your trust in the person printing these paper wallet notes. What’s to stop people printing fake addresses on these paper notes. Would you trust someone enough to send them some BTC and only get a piece of paper back? What happens after you buy such a note and turns out the so called wallet has nothing in there? I think this is a terrible idea.
Why don’t you send me 500 BTC right now, I’ll give you a piece of paper in return, and don’t worry you can trust me, i garauntee there’s 500 BTC in this wallet on this piece of paper. sarcasm
One thing is really different with this method. I assume your computer/mobile phone really secure. if someone stole your key, you can say bye-bye to your crypto currency. If you only have private key on paper, than try it to hack. This is one side of the story. On the other side, with the address on the paper can be verified with two method. It is possible to create an sms service which you can use to validate the address. And yes you identified the key message of this idea. It works like fiat paper money, but backed with bitcoin or other crypto currency. If you want to use, just scratch the note, and read the private key to your wallet and tadaaa you have the crypto currency. I think you like sarcasm: When you get a paper money why you trust it?
That’s fair enough you can have a verification with the note. My point is, I can still print a fake bitcoin note. You will have already put your fiat into this ATM. Your fiat is already gone, and afterwards you discover this note is a fake, what do you do then? You trusted the issuer of the bitcoin note but it was fake. Then you’re screwed.
As for your last comment, sure fiat is just fiat backed by faith in the government, but at least I can spend it. The next person I trade with will definitely accept it.
Unless you get fake money. If you never had, you are lucky. In our country it is a problem, so this is why I use bank card most of the cases.
I think its a bad idea to have bitcoin ATM's altogether. There are already scam ATM's out there that hack government issued money and at least when that happens you can call the authorities and trace who's done it. But bitcoins can't be linked with anyones identity and it is not protected by anything but a private key that can be lost or stolen.
that's the idea, it's nobody's business where you got your money and what you intend to do with it, certainly not any governments. If a governments suspects you of anything, prove it in a court of law.
Glad you're thinking, but, no, it's a bad idea.
like @neonuke pointed out, there is no way (without a smartphone with a crypto app, at least) to verify that the private key you are handing me does indeed have the funds you claim it has. If you can invent a way they you've got something. But as is ... not.
Send you 1 btc, are you kidding, bitcoins are over $8000 last time I checked. kinda greedy, huh?
Exactly as others have pointed out. Whoever or whatever prints the "notes" has a copy of the private address containing your funds. Sooner or later someone will figure out how to hack the machine and get the private address and steal your money.
There is always a risk. If you use a crypto exchange, you have a trust there. Here you have at the issuer.
