Title: New food for BTC site! Post by: BitPantry on August 01, 2012, 11:17:00 PM Hey there, all you bitcoiners!
We wanted to let you all know about our new site, www.btcpantry.com . We hand craft and ship to you tasty food items we have developed and refined recipes for. Each food item is made especially for each order, no pre-packaged stuff here! And the best part? You can purchase these goodies using 'regular' money (USD) or with bitcoins! When you place your order, the total will auto-convert to the bitcoin equivalent on the payment page, and you can choose to pay via BitPay! Although we don't have a huge number of items up right now, we're always adding new items, and we love to get requests from you, our customers, for items you'd like to see on the site. Additionally, because we know that there are many people with dietary restrictions of all kinds, we will customize any recipe to meet them upon request, or develop entirely new recipes based on those restrictions. So, please send in ideas, suggestions, and requests to stormy@quickbitcoins.com How many of you like bacon? Have you ever tried candied bacon? Well, if you have, and loved it, or if you never have, this is your go-to place for candied bacon! Right now we have 4 flavour varieties: regular (delicious, smoky, bacony taste with a sweet wrapper), chili (spicy, sweetness layered with 3 varieties of peppers), cinnamon (tastes like a cinnamon roll with bacon wrapped in it), and holiday ham (think: glazed, baked holiday ham, but bacon). Maybe you don't like bacon, are a vegetarian, or just have more a of sweet tooth? We also have cookies and dessert bread! We currently have S'mores cookie bars (layers of graham cracker cookie, melty gooey marshmallow, velvety chocolate), Chocolate Chocolate Chip cookies (chocolate cookies studded with chocolate chips), and Cherry-Chocolate Bread (a dense, chocolatey bread made with fresh cherries). They're all really tasty! Some of the planned upcoming items you'll be seeing soon on the site include handmade beef jerky in a variety of flavours, trail mixes, spice blends, popcorn seasonings, and much more! Of course we'll also be introducing new varieties of cookies, candied bacon, and breads as well. We're always excited and interested to see what kinds of things our customers like and would like to have, so if there's a treat you especially love and want, send it in and our kitchen will put it on the to-make list. You can always be assured that your treats will arrive at you in the freshest possible conditions because: 1) You place your order on www.btcpantry.com. 2) We receive your order and make your items. 3) We ship your items the same day or first thing the next morning via priority mail. This process ensures that you'll never get treats that have been sitting on the shelf waiting to be ordered, and that the least amount of time passes between the creation of your treats and you enjoying them! Please take a look, and tell us what you think! We're still in the process of getting the site in shape, so if you find any errors or things that should be better please let us know, but please be gentle! We can't wait to see your orders and ideas, and to create treats just for you! BitPantry Title: Re: New food for BTC site!

Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: BitPantry on August 01, 2012, 11:48:29 PM We also take USD!
Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: rjk on August 01, 2012, 11:52:25 PM We also take USD! No SSL, and what flavor of USD do you take? My PayPal is empty to because I am avoiding using it. ;)Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: BitPantry on August 01, 2012, 11:59:17 PM We currently take credit/debit card payments, which are input on our processor's site, not ours.

Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: westkybitcoins on August 02, 2012, 06:32:36 AM Holiday ham candied bacon?!!
Oh yeah, I'll definitely be checking this out. ;D Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: NothinG on August 02, 2012, 06:41:37 AM Holiday ham candied bacon?!! +1Oh yeah, I'll definitely be checking this out. ;D After you add this to your site, I may be trying a few of the others out. :D Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: BitPantry on August 02, 2012, 10:29:57 AM The Holiday Ham bacon is already on the site, under the category of candied bacon ;-)
We cannot ship the bacon internationally as yet, because it is too perishable and we'll need to upgrade our shipping equipment before we're able to offer that, unfortunately. We can ship any of the baked goods, however, just be aware that the shipping tends to cost quite a bit more so if you're ordering for international shipping it might be worthwhile to order more at a time! Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: BitPantry on August 06, 2012, 05:00:46 PM Just thought you'd all like to know, we've added some new items to BitPantry, including several flavours of beef jerky! Check it out!
Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: BitPantry on August 15, 2012, 03:49:30 PM Just thought we'd let you all know, because of the domain registrar issues we had, we've had to move the site to www.btcpantry.com .
Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: John (John K.) on August 15, 2012, 03:51:44 PM Just thought we'd let you all know, because of the domain registrar issues we had, we've had to move the site to www.btcpantry.com . Damn, the problem with the registrar issue sucked. Now you need to redesign the logo again (it's still bitpantry.com).Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: BitPantry on August 15, 2012, 04:11:48 PM I'm going to leave it as is, because people are familiar with it already, and we are most likely at some point going to move it to another bitpantry (like .net, etc). Thanks though!
Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: davecoin on August 15, 2012, 08:33:23 PM Is your jerky and bacon made from conventionally raised animals? Regardless, I'm glad to see there's no corn syrup solids in it. That always confuses me at the grocery store.
Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: Qoheleth on August 15, 2012, 08:50:36 PM How's the texture of the chocolate cookies? Is it on the crispy side? Chewy? Fluffy?
I'll also echo the demand for cheese products (cheese balls, maybe?) and the question about the source of your meat. Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: BitPantry on August 15, 2012, 11:36:05 PM The meat used for the beef jerky is market (we hope to upgrade to buying from a real butcher later on) roast, sliced semi-thin to be marinated and dehydrated into jerky.
The bacon is also from the market, hardwood smoked and thick cut bacon. The chocolate cookies (and this description comes straight from one of our customers) are very soft and moist, almost cake-like in texture. Thanks for the questions! Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: NothinG on August 16, 2012, 01:24:07 AM What's wrong with the site?
Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: BitPantry on August 16, 2012, 01:35:43 AM Nothing is wrong with the site. We purchased the original domain name from someone else, and the info they used to register it was fraudulent so the domain registrar shut it down and won't let us pay for it or change it to our names.
Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: davecoin on August 16, 2012, 03:06:51 PM The link in the original post doesn't work, that's why he asked.
Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: BitPantry on August 16, 2012, 04:54:57 PM I forgot to edit it so that it reflects the new one, sorry! I'll do so now!
Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: NothinG on August 17, 2012, 04:51:31 AM The link in the original post doesn't work, that's why he asked. True, but I never noticed the other problem until it was mentioned.I may just buy some. :D Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: Ignatius on August 31, 2012, 06:29:56 PM I placed an order with BitPantry and just wanted to express my support here. Shipping was blazing fast and the banana bread I got is delicious, everyone who has tried it so far has loved it.
Thank you again BitPantry P.S. The images can be a bit deceiving, the loaf of bread is huge. Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: Qoheleth on September 14, 2012, 10:41:00 PM Four days ago I placed Order #65 on BitPantry, checking out as a guest rather than creating an account, and paid with BitPay. Since then I have received no further info - no shipping information, no confirmation that my payment was successful.
I'd like to double-check that you in fact have my order and are processing it. Thanks! Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: Qoheleth on September 22, 2012, 08:42:47 AM One week later, I've still heard nothing from you. What's up?
Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: kwoody on September 24, 2012, 06:16:34 AM Tried paying with bitcoins on an $85 order, "Error: Problem communicating with payment provider. Please try again later."
:'( :'( :'( Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: penetration on September 24, 2012, 07:23:26 AM You should definitely provide some more satisfying meals instead of just snacks and treats.
Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: Qoheleth on October 01, 2012, 10:35:41 PM One week later, I've still heard nothing from you. What's up? Seems my worries were premature - I finally received my order.Will give verdict on flavor tonight. Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: Qoheleth on October 02, 2012, 01:31:02 AM The s'mores bars turned out to not really be my thing. The cinnascotch cookies, on the other hand, are almost supernaturally tasty.
Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: BitPantry on October 21, 2012, 01:35:43 AM The s'mores bars turned out to not really be my thing. The cinnascotch cookies, on the other hand, are almost supernaturally tasty. I'm really sorry about the delay on your order, we were having some technical glitches with the site (and still are with our BitPay plugin), but I'm very glad that your items were received and that you were mostly pleased! Title: Re: New food for BTC site! Post by: BitPantry on October 21, 2012, 01:37:29 AM You should definitely provide some more satisfying meals instead of just snacks and treats. I'm not sure how easily we'd be able to do that, given the factor of how perishable and/or mail friendly such things would be. Do you have any specific suggestions or requests that I can start experimenting with? |
