Bitcoin Forum

Edit: Price seems to be confusing to people. Sorry about that.

Shipping is 1 BTC per 100g box no matter how many you buy.

Price (not including shipping) is at least .5BTC per 100g box but since all the money is going to the forum you can pay as much as you want. My goal is to get 40 BTC so I can get V.I.P. status.



To gain V.I.P. status on the forum I am selling 100 ml of raw Thai and Lao honey!

Shipping with tracking and registered mail will be 1 BTC.

The price is up to you! How much to you love the forum?  ;)

I will sell one box of honey as low as .00000001 BTC. (plus 1 BTC shipping)

If you want to buy more than one box please pay at least .5 BTC per box.

The first 40 BTC (other than shipping) will go to the forum to develop new software. I will use the funds to purchase a V.I.P. tag.

All payments should be sent to 1LwXXGhJynq2pkuUHfNrGW6gxTThvAW4DW

To make a purchase you need to post in this thread what type of honey you want, how many, and how much you are going to pay. No PMs

This honey has not been filtered and is 100% pure. Each honey will have a very unique taste and will be different. Honestly its some of the best stuff ever.

Wild honey is honey that was made by bees in the nature. No interaction with humans.

Type A   Lao wild raw honey. Bee type: large      (10 Boxes)

I am just back from Laos and this stuff is great. It is pure 100% wild raw honey.

Type B  Thai wild raw mountain honey. Bee type: large       (10 Boxes)

It's the darkest and richest off them all.

Type C  Thai wild raw mountain honey. Bee type: small       (5 boxes)

Very fruity taste.


Thai farmed bees. These bees are part of a government project to support agriculture. They have man made hives and are used in specific crops and express the taste of the fruits flower.

Type D  Wild Flower Honey  (5 boxes)

Type E  Lychee Fruit (5 Boxes)

Type F  Longan Fruit (5 boxes)

If I gain more than 40 BTC from the sale of this I will use the rest for other charity projects. I will not keep anything :)   Place your orders!

Let me know if you have any questions :)

100ml per box?

I would like type A and C

I will be sending a total of 2.00791235 BTC shortly

Thanks!

ahh i misunderstood.

lets just do 1 box of type A. 

dont worry about it...good cause ;D

I would like one of each how much should i be sending ?

oh shit.

mah favorite kind of honey.

fuck it, send me 5.

I misread it and thought you were sending Thai money by weight. It does have the right sign though :-)

Still, sweet deal.

Do you ship to the UK?

Your pricing confuses me yet im interested in a sample of all of them. how much for 100ml of all 6?

I want to spend about 10 BTC ..but ur pricing IS confusing for me :)

OK I think I understand.

So i would like 1 of each and I'm going to send 10 bitcoins. Hmm works out around £6.66 each which is a little expensive ( yea I know its the shipping cost)  but hey its helping the bitcoin econ.

Will send em once they are mined.

I got some honey from you already ? or was that some one else ?

Edit:
Ow wait bitcoins down to £3.00 so well thats not a bad deal at all considering where its shipping from.

I'm all disappointed.

Thought you were talking about the chick in your av.

So 2 boxes (1x type A and 1x Type B) would be:

.00000001BTC x2 + 1.5BTC shipping?

so 1.50000002BTC Total?

10 bitcoins sent and PM'd you my shipping address. Looking forward to getting em  ;D.

Be  happy to come back with a little review  8)

Do you still have any to sell?  If so, I'm down for some.

Sent 1.4735 BTC.  I'd like to try type B.

In before the Wednesday deadline.

Mmmm honey.

I misread it and thought you were sending Thai Honeys... Now that would have been a good deal!

I'll take one of each kind ... so that's 3, right? How much is that? 4.5 BTC?

Sorry, the picture looked like you offered three different kinds. So the minimum price for three (type A-C) would be 2 BTC then? Your pricing is a little confusing.

Alright, deal. I sent 4.50000123 BTC to 1LwXXGhJynq2pkuUHfNrGW6gxTThvAW4DW and a PM with my shipping details. :D

I'll take one pack of the tastiest kind! I think that's B, isn't it?

I will be interested to know if anyone in the US has any trouble receiving through customs.  If anyone from the US can confirm receipt without trouble, I will be interested in getting some honey.  This sholud work out well, as I need to accumulate some BTC anyway.  I hope the new price will be reasonable, though...

I'll order 1 of each flavor. What would the total bee?




(see what i did there?)

Well I kinda got my honey today.

Royal mail rocked up today and handed me a large box from Thailand   \o/  Yay..... ow wait this feels a bit light... What’s all this crusty yellow stuff leaking out the box..it's...it's Ma Honeyz.....(Disappointed sadface)

Well it got shipped as promised and arrived in good time. The box was in good condition however I'm assuming all the boxs opened up under reduced pressure of the flight and about 80% + of the honey leaked out.

The result:

I have 1 box with about 70ml
3 x totally empty
2 x with about 10-20ml left in them

Totally gutted because the one that’s nearly full looks awesome.

Not tasted any yet because I did not want to open any in case I was asked to take photograph of it also I kept the cardboard shipping box that's saturated in honey to show that it wasn’t crushed etc in transit.

Well I know this seller is just starting out etc etc so I won’t be crying about it and asking for a refund etc but shall leave it up to the op to do as he sees fit.

If you want me to take pic's of packaging do so soon as my mates determined to use said honey on some carrots which is a total waste I imagine.

It's cool man these things can happen dont let it get ya down. Keep at it bro.

Btw just opened C box up the honey its awsome and im so looking forward to trying others in the future.

Will PM you later today and thanks for handiling it how you have.
You just got a loyal future customer.

thai HONEY, hein? :o

Self drawn? U perv bastard, enjoy! :D

I never received any.  Could still be in shipping, but you *did* get my address, right?

Same here. Came in a bag the USPS put over the box to contain the leakage.  :D

Mine arrived today, and my wife says it's an empty container in a honey-encrusted box.  I haven't seen it yet, but I assume she's right.

Sorry about the bad luck with shipping.  I hope you can find out a better method.  It was a pretty cool idea.

I've had a lot of things break in the past year with USPS. Wine, spaghetti sauce (both packaged well-enough where I don't see how they could've broken unless repeatedly slammed against something), bacon (don't ask), this honey - I had a stick of RAM that somehow partially snapped. Couple packages have gotten lost, and a bank I had insisted they sent me ~10 notices about an overdraft I never received (though I honestly think that was the bank's fault, not the USPS). Never had problems before the past year. Dunno.

I'd prefer a re-ship if you're up for it -- doubt I paid enough to even cover cost of shipping once since I got it in the auction thread. Something like a "squeezee bear" would be fantastic so long as the lid doesn't leak. Dunno how much cost it'd add, though.

If they are coming in those square plastic containers shown in the OP, you might be able to keep using them if they were wrapped in a thick layer of packing tape, shrink wrap, or both. Watching a shipping agency doing its job is horrifying - packages of all shapes and sizes being recklessly tossed around with wild abandon.

Hope that was a typo 'cause I tasted some inside the box.  :o  :D

I couldn't get enough on my finger to really taste anything (pretty well-caked on the box. There was a more substantial amount in the USPS bag, but worried what else the postal workers touched prior to the honey/box). Was considering licking the box, but worried I might someday have to admit in public that I did - like right now.

So, I'm quietly sitting in my lair this morning minding my own Loupish business, when I am summoned to the front door to be greeted by a Postal Inspector. He invites me to come down to the Main Post Office and into a special room with cameras and mirrors, and lots of notices about decontamination and Homeland Security on the wall. He asks if I know anybody in Thailand. I thought for a moment, and replied that I didn't know anybody personally, had never traveled there in person, and did not know Gary Glitter. He smiled and pointed to a large white plastic box, sealed all the way around with very large and somewhat intimidating HAZMAT and BIOHAZARD labels on it. The following is a transcript of the conversation:

Inspector: "So you don't know anybody in Thailand who would want to mail biohazards to you, you say?"

Loup: "Nope, nobody in Thailand... wait, crap, I AM expecting some honey from those realms!"

Insp: "Honey? You are expecting "honey" from Thailand? And what else might be included in this "honey"?"

Loup: "Some bee propolis, and perhaps some minor imperfections, bee parts and the like, and it's not all really FROM Thailand, some of the honey is from Laos, and some is from the mountainous regions where the interpretation of international borders can be, shall we we say ambiguous at best?"

Insp: "I don't need to hear about international ambiguities, I want to know what was in this package before this hazardous material became un-packaged and distributed all throughout the packaging, the vehicles which carried it across the globe, befouled the delivery truck which brought it here, and got stuck in several of our high speed postal sorting machines, causing significant delays to all mail being distributed to 23 of the United States?"

Loup: (sensing Inspector's sense of humor is growing tenuous) "Just honey Sir, good clean, Thailandish and Laotian honey, mostly from government sponsored Thailandish bee hives, that quite interestingly are man-made as an economic empowerment project for the relatively impoverished Thailander Apiary-Enthusiast community. And perhaps a little Laotian honey, purely by coincidence, Sir, not by any malice of forethought to circumvent any international honey import/export proscriptions, but just some happenstance Laotian honey that may have been like the fly that fell into the well, honey if you please, Sir."

Insp: "Nothing but honey, you claim?"

Loup: "No, Sir I will only BEE straight with you, it's just honey."

Insp: "From Thailand?"

Loup: " Yup, from Thailand, and a little bit from from Laos, but looking at the currently drippy, and clearly no longer completely segregated state of the honey, I think we can assume is is now blended Thai-Laotian honey, which has become more of a Thai-Laotian blended honey paper infusion fluid at this time. But no biohazardosity, contrabandular, or haz-matishness condition should be inferred from the steadily growing pool of Blended Thai-Laotian honey paper infusion on your floor, Sir."

Insp: "And why did this honey get sent to you? And why in such a sorry state of packaging? There are millions of people waiting for their mail because of this, this, this... mess!!"

Loup: Well, Sir, it's like this... this guy named Goat, who has a total honey of a wife, offered Thai, and Laotian honey for sale on the interwebz as a fundraiser for the bitcoin community forum, and since I had recently enjoyed some tasty Burmese honey, I thought I could wrap up the Asian Honey Trifecta with a double hit of Thai and Laos in one package. So I sent him some bitcoins, and here, a little while later is the honey-ish result of my good intentions. My guess is with the impending Thai new year, and the attendant water splashing duties Goat and the lovely Mrs. Goat have facing them, well they may not be up to the mark on packaging vis a vis modern Western high speed package sorting and handling technology-wise. Sorry about the mess, Sir."

Insp: "His name is 'Goat'? What the hell kind of name is 'Goat'?"

Loup: "Actually he really goes by Chaang Noi- which I believe you would find on the return address if you were to break the Homeland Security Anthrax-proof seal you have on that container, probably written in Sumerian Thai cuneiform, and that would explain it all. He is Goat, I am Loup, and that is honey."

Insp: "Well who in the hell is going to pay for cleaning up this mess, you or Mr. Chaangly Goat or whoever the hell he is?"

Loup: "Umm, Sir, it's like this, since the transaction was in bitcoins, I guess any compensation would have to be in bitcoins. If you could just give me a delivery address for your wallet I would happily send you a couple of hundred Satoshis to cover any costs associated with this."

Insp: "What is this 'bitcoin' nonsense?"

Several hours of tortured explanation ensued at this point, suffice to say at the end he had no clue what bitcoins were, but he was irritated enough with dear old Loup to give me the bum's rush out the interrogation room, which was my plan from the get go.

Insp: "Just take your damn box and go. Now!!"

Loup: "Yup, I am outta here, Sir. Can I just borrow a genuine USPS crowbar to get this box unstuck from the table first?"


So, I guess I need to go on the list of needing some replacement Thai/Laotian honey. But I did score some cool labels for the office!

The Burmese was in a screw top bottle, that was taped shut (extensively). Then it was wrapped in plastic, wrapped in bubble wrap (lots) then sealed in a plastic bag before being mailed in a padded envelope. Got through just fine. Might need a couple of bottle of that size (these were 100ml) for each of your "boxes". They were fairly thick-walled and don't deform at all when squeezed, so getting mashed by the postal services around the world won't pop tops off, or sneak around sealing tape.

The Hazmat labels were hilarious, and the delivery guys were like "Nice- they label it hazardous but let us carry it around unprotected."

Man, I would totally buy your novels if you do write one! :D

IRL trolling complements of the USPS. Win.

I'm interested in that dark one, type B i think. So if the bottle works I'm willing to pay 2BTC

As I was anticipating some potential future travel, I noticed a white sticky coating on one of my pieces of luggage.  I happen to know this was caused by fluid leaking out of containers in my luggage, checked in a plane.  This may have been caused by a thoughtless/careless TSA agent, or it may have been caused by the luggage compartment of the plane being less pressurized than the cabin.  Regardless, the fluid in question would not have gotten more viscous when hot.  Moreover, I don't imagine the sun shines directly on packages in transit all that often.  I am guessing that the mail went by air and not sea; I am further guessing that the lack of pressure lead to the leaks more than the viscosity of the honey.  All of that having been said, your test is still better than nothing, I just wonder if a different shipping method wouldn't ultimately work better (assuming I am correct about air travel ultimately holding a role in the previously experienced leaks).

not for nothing, but why dont you put them in plastic honey bears like this:

I ordered honey from bees brothers and it got here just fine.

Loup send me an address. It's high time you got paid for your amazing writing.

Robert

+1 still on my bedroom's floor laughing like a freak  ;D

the initial variety to choose from still valid? about to finalize my order during w/e

This is by far the best thread I've ever seen - anywhere.   There's a guy in Thailand willing to sell homemade honey (and not the avatar) to unknown people across the globe.  Everyone involved is working on a currency that is bunch of ones and zeroes, and everyone seems to be having fun with whatever shows up in the mail. 

I want in, even if I have to squeeze Thai honey from a cardboard box on my waffles from a guy I've never met and a place I've never been and from a currency that doesn't really exist. 

If you have the longan I'll try one box.  if not, dealers choice - 4BTC sent your way.  I'll PM you my shipping address.

Hmm, no sign of my honey order yet :(

Thanks! :o

Can confirm honey arrived in tact. Had a minor allergic reaction after tasting type B honey (the dark stuff). Have severe bee allergy, which I'm assuming was the cause (unless there were fish scales in it or something  :P ). Just a fwiw-warning if anyone's in the same boat. I had no trouble with the type D honey. Good-tasting stuff, either way!  :)

So, round 2, the authorities have been forewarned that I am part of this international honey smuggling ring, and what's this ho, ho? Another loup-bound package from some far away land with curly writing (probably Arabs, and you know what they will do to your basic high-speed modern mail sorting infrastructure given the chance!) This one actually arrived.

Notice I say "arrived". Those smary swine at US Customs and Border Patrol (and how the hell personal mail, properly declared, with proper postage affixed is any of their damn business is beyond me, but I digress!) felt the need to "examine" my package. This involved the rather amateurish use of a box-cutter (these are the bastards that should be denied access to such cutlery) slashing open my package, violating the contents with their filthy little government mitts and sniffing my honey. Yes, those black helicopter wanna-be's actually nose-raped my honey! Finding nothing that their copious lack of wit, intelligence and schooling would consider a threat to national security, the "re-sealed" said package (in fact slapped a single layer of flimsy obnoxious green EXAMINED BY US CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION shipping tape over the deep wounds rent into the surface of the box, after throwing away any cushioning and packaging materials they might have found. And, after sitting on the box for a couple of days, just to spite the actual operation of the world economy, forwarded it onward to my lair.

Of course, Mr Chicken-Shit Postman is terrified after the last Loup/Goat/Honey/National Security Adventure so instead of sallying forth in spite of wind, nor rain, nor fog, nor tsunamis the frickin' coward just showed up with a registered tag, and informed me that my box was in isolation at the main post office where I might call and claim it, preferably with disposable haz-mat suits for all involved, and my legal representatives. In spite of his churlish abuse, I did reclaim my precious honey, and am delighted to report that in spite of the nasal violation visited upon it, this nectar remains pretty damn close to the original nectar of the gods.

As in pretty damn tasty, indeed! I especially favor the sweet and sassy notes of A, and the tangy clash between spice and sour of C. F is a truly unique taste treat, social propriety limits me from describing the taste as it truly strikes me, so I will just go with tasting like a she-vixen in heat on a very sweaty day. And a pinch of salt.

F looks almost filtered, with a rich deep amber color. C is full of bee-bits (I may try to clone my own Laotian bee colony for fun!) and has an almost creamy thing going on, while A is a murky, mead-y rogue full of crystals and energy.

If you haven't yet dabbled in the rich viscous world of Asian Honey, get your coins on the way, this is truly an experience, and cheap at the price. Your taste buds will thank you.

And see if you don't think that F taste like it was produced by Cuban cigar rolling virgins if you know what I mean...

Hello,

I'd like 2 boxes of type B and 2 boxes of type E.

Do I pay the address in the first post? Is 8 BTC enough?

- Joel

8.0008394 bitcoins sent. I've sent the shipping address in a PM.

- Joel

My raw Thai arrived also safe and sound - thanks, Goat!

My honey also arrived today :)

I really like the lychee one. The wild mountain honey will take some getting used to. The taste was quite overwhelming on the first try :)

EDIT July 10 2012: Well, that didn't take long. I already prefer the wild mountain honey to the lychee honey :) Even though they both are delicious :)

I'll take a C,E, and F, and I'll pay BTC6.

What you're doing is so cool :) I'm going to talk my family into ordering some, I feel like they'll be interested!

Are you still selling?

Which type?

How much would it cost to buy 300ml?

Done. Can you tell me more about it?

I'll PM you my address.

Wow! Got my order today, and it tastes great!

For future customers:
I'd describe it as a deep, rich, multi-toned lychee + raspberry taste with some coppery tropical undertones. Goes great with dark chocolate, incidentally :)

Thanks Goat, good stuff.

Careful fincen doesnt come after you for honey laundering lol

I'm sure he'll bee careful.

Classic.
