$10 Of Free Bitcoin For College Students

This is a great initiative on Coinbase's part. Will definitely get a lot of adopters because the free money will incentivize the use and then the experience of using Bitcoin should hold on to the new users.

ANU student here, can confirm it works with .edu.au emails

How do they stop people taking advantage of the ability to create an arbitrary amount of email accounts?

If they see a lot from an insecure uni I'd assume they would take action.

Has Coinbase posted a list of the "top 500" colleges that are supported, or are we left to guess? I signed up a few minutes ago and haven't seen anything yet.

Edit: Still not showing up. Kinda scummy to advertise this to college students and not follow through, especially in the heat of finals week.

Same here, with an @uw.edu e-mail address.
