Title: First Inter-Continental "Buy a Round of Pints" using BTC Post by: kibblesnbits on June 27, 2013, 01:19:15 AM What better service is a pint of beer from fellow bitcoiners? I came across this thread in the Press section:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=243366.0 How cool would it be to do this? How great would it be to get a live feed of the transaction? I PM'd JohnK to see if he'd be willing to hold the central wallet. I'm in for three pints. Who's in? Post from "Press" Quote Very cool article. I have an idea. First inter-continental "buy a round " on BTC. If you're outside of the UK, post here an amount you'd be willing to spend (maybe 2 pints?). Set up a pool wallet and when we have enough, get a time and date and send it to the pub. Extra points for a live video feed and the patrons holding up a "Thanks, bitcointalk.org!" sign. I'll start it off with whatever the cost is for three pints at that pub. Could JohnK or someone make a wallet for this? Here's the pubs Facebook account. I don't have FB but maybe someone here can contact Luke Parker to set this up. https://www.facebook.com/PemburyTavern Title: Re: First Inter-Continental "Buy a Round of Pints" using BTC Post by: kibblesnbits on June 27, 2013, 01:24:06 AM I'll start the official pint tally.
kibblesnbits - USA - 3 pints Title: Re: First Inter-Continental "Buy a Round of Pints" using BTC Post by: aigeezer on June 27, 2013, 01:27:49 AM Fabulous idea.
aigeezer - Canada - 3 pints. Title: Re: First Inter-Continental "Buy a Round of Pints" using BTC Post by: ErisDiscordia on June 27, 2013, 08:06:52 AM ErisDiscordia - Mount Olympos - 1 Pint for someone willing to shout "All hail Discordia, FNORD!"

Woot! Is that one pint for each person or just the first one? It could go viral and get pretty expensive. :) Title: Re: First Inter-Continental "Buy a Round of Pints" using BTC Post by: kibblesnbits on June 27, 2013, 12:52:40 PM I'm surprised more people aren't jumping on this. What's a pint, like .07BTC? You couldn't ask for better press for the price.
My opinion with the BitCoin economy? If you don't support the business that accepts BitCoin, there's no reason for the business to continue accepting BTC. If business doesn't see BitCoin as a viable currency, then it will just wind up being us trading BitCoins with each other. I try to buy something every week from a business that accepts BTC.

Great idea on the round of pints. Just so happened, my friend (a CEO + part-time sound engineer) has invited me to Desire Club (Kuala Lumpur) next Saturday, as DJ Droolette Tasha was playing a few sets and we were wondering how we could market the usage of Bitcoins to the VIPs, and club owners slated to attend. If you like to chip in a few rounds of beer on that night, send me some coins at 1GPBWd8C4e6JD7wDWV3YxMuTDzH1Vy3mf6 and PM me the TX ID. I'll cash out to Ringgit Malaysia, print out some nice screenshots of bitcointalk.org, take pics and post them on bitcointalk later. Other suggestions welcomed. :D Desire Club: http://www.exclusive.com.my/club1.html http://www.asia-bars.com/2010/10/desire-the-manor-new-exclusive-club-lounge-at-asian-heritage-row-kuala-lumpur-malaysia/ ninjaboon Profile: http://bitcoinmalaysia.com/contact/ ninjaboon Reputation Thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=240370.0 Trust summary for ninjaboon: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=64005 Title: Re: First Inter-Continental "Buy a Round of Pints" using BTC Post by: ErisDiscordia on June 27, 2013, 04:32:10 PM ErisDiscordia - Mount Olympos - 1 Pint for someone willing to shout "All hail Discordia, FNORD!"

Perhaps not enough eyeballs in this part of the site.
I still think it's a great idea, OP - fabulous publicity potential and a bit of inexpensive fun. I wonder if people are worried about anonymity or cost issues. I just listed my dirtspace country and "3 pints" because you started it off that way - I assume it's not a set requirement. Calling all half-pints? Third from the sun? :) Title: Re: First Inter-Continental "Buy a Round of Pints" using BTC Post by: gollygosh on July 10, 2013, 05:31:42 AM I wanna drink :)
Title: Re: First Inter-Continental "Buy a Round of Pints" using BTC Post by: kibblesnbits on July 16, 2013, 01:24:28 AM Someone just posted a similar article - same bar. Maybe since BTC is rising, people would be a little more open to the idea....
