granny lives in my country, (Republic of) Croatia, she says and proves she's been knitting QR codes all her life :) there is even a word in local slang for that symbol "šiljur" (in english you would pronounce it like she - lure ) another thing : Nikola Tesla was born in a village near where this granny lives, they are joking that there must be something in those undergorund waters they all drink She started knitting those symbols after she had a fata morgana , allegedly once, during a heavy storm, she saw a deer that had QR codes all over his body, and since then, she always puts them in her work her grand daughter (or daughter) recently told her that Japanese and Americans stole her idea :) Title: Re: this is crazy Post by: rjk on June 15, 2012, 07:47:42 PM Yeah whatever, so are they actually valid, with proper ECC and stuff?
Title: Re: this is crazy Post by: proudhon on June 15, 2012, 07:49:26 PM So what, I've been branding forest animals with QR codes for ages. That's how I save my passwords and private keys.

"This is just a marketing video. Nothing more."

Granny Jela should create an IPO for blockchain-wear, and hand-knit some bitcoin addresses on sweaters, blankets, socks and lovely wall carpets with QR deer application on them. This is crazy too, as it is close to the halfbaked idea I had on qr-blockchain-wear-pillows some time ago, along the lines of blockchain qr-code pillow so you can sleep on your coins, or blockchain socks so you can keep your money off the banks securely. Bako Jelo, ljubim te u čelo! (Granny Jela, I kiss your forehead!)
