Title: Food you have Bought With bitcoin - (Laszlo dedication thread)
Post by: elasticband on February 04, 2014, 05:20:44 PM
Feeling lazy today, just ordered some takeaway.

Used Dutch Website and ordered from a local Indian Takeaway -https://www.thuisbezorgd.nl/en/mother-india

Paid with bitcoin via Bitpay

cost - 0.0352BTC with transaction fee - 21 euro

This is the first time i have ever bought food directly with Bitcoin, the option has been available for a long time i just have never gotten around to it yet, feeling happy :)


what food are you buying? pictures of your purchases if possible :)

The food, it was delivered and eaten hours ago.  Was it worth it, Yes, the takeaway I ordered from is great and I was hungry so money well spent.

this was more than enough for two people.

Ah. I usually use justeat.com in the UK, but might give takeaway.com a go with Bitcoins next time I order.
