#53This didn't work for my Swarthmore email address. I assume liberal arts colleges weren't included on the list of top "universities"?
Edit: And if someone from Coinbase is reading this, can we get added? I have friends who would be interested too.

#54> This offer is good for select .edu domains only . We have tried to include the top 500 universities worldwide (this is not U.S. focused) . I’m not aware of a university outside of the US that uses a .edu TLD…

Eh, doesn't Coinbase operate only in the US?

Re: $10 Of Free Bitcoin For College Students
#56Has 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.
works with mtu.edu

#57This reminds me of a very similar campaign Paypal did to help jumpstart the online payments market. Paypal offered $20 to anyone for opening an account or referring a new user[1]. This served to help rapidly grow a market of Paypal users before one existed. 1 (I highly recommend watching the full conversation as it's immensely interesting) - http://youtu.be/vDwzmJpI4io?t=11m21s
The difference being that most of these students will receive the free bitcoin and hold, hoping they appreciate in value, instead of transacting and contributing to the network effect.
Is this myth not dead yet? People spend bitcoin and want to spend it. There is also speculation and hoarding, but no universal law that says you can't do both.
$10 isn't even much to hoard. If the price goes up 10x that's still just $100. This is more like, "Oh, you got our drinks, I'll pay you back in btc!" kind of money.

Here in the Netherlands the University of Tilburg has a .edu: http://www.tilburguniversity.edu/
The website having an .edu is one thing, but that doesn't give you a usable .edu email address.
