Title: Pizza for ripples?
Post by: ribuck on February 22, 2013, 03:04:49 PM
I'll pay 10,000 XRP for a couple of pizzas.. like maybe 2 large ones so I have some left over for the next day.  I like having left over pizza to nibble on later.  You can make the pizza yourself and bring it to my house or order it for me from a delivery place, but what I'm aiming for is getting food delivered in exchange for ripples where I don't have to order or prepare it myself, kind of like ordering a 'breakfast platter' at a hotel or something, they just bring you something to eat and you're happy!

I like things like onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepperoni, etc.. just standard stuff no weird fish topping or anything like that.  I also like regular cheese pizzas which may be cheaper to prepare or otherwise acquire.

If you're interested please let me know and we can work out a deal.

Thanks,
ribuck

Nice history lesson...  I'm not sure 10k Ripple is worth 2 pizzas just yet though ;-)

Kinda funny ;D  Since everyone on this forum got some ripples for free, I don't think they're going to be worth much.  Considering they plan on continuing to release 50 bil ripples, it probably isn't going to be worth much...ever.

hmmm i'm way down in the south :(

but i kinda like the idea of being part of the first trade....

if u can wait till the 1st march, when i get paid, i'd be willing to order u 1 large pizza from ur favourite local pizza outlet (or find a special deal ... i'm expecting it to be what £12-£15??) and pay for it and get it delivered to u and then u send me the XRP's .. this will cost u 30K ripples though.. gotta make it worth my while... out of 50billion :P

My offer is 10,000 XRP for two large pizzas delivered, as per the original post. This mirrors Laszlo's 2010 offer (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137).

yeah i hear ya... but 21million btc cap... and 40billion ripples.... let me sleep on it a while and I may still be up for it come payday...cos I just like the historic moments :D

It would at least give a starting point for the currency. 10,000 = ~ 20 USD. (2 pizzas at about 10USD each.)

That's massively overvaluing XRP... but I also like the idea of getting the chance to be part of the first trade. Maybe a bunch of people could pledge some bitcoin towards it, and then one person order the pizza. Then divide out the 10,000 XRP accordingly?

I'd be willing to contribute 0.1 BTC   :)

yeah i like the sound of this :) me being in the same country as the person asking for the pizzas I would be willing to do the trade and distribute the XRP's

Damn you idiots.

Ripple XRP isn't meant to be used for purchases this way, its made to do ripple transactions.
Sell a pizza using ripple in dammit.

yeah i know it not meant to be used this way... but fuck it y not have some fun eh?? and the OP sounded hungry and wanted to merely mimic the BTC trade and make a mark on the history books

just remember the internet was meant to be used for university professors to exchange data and information between one another... now it used mostly for porn, gambling and social networking... so let us kiddies have our fun as we were not around at the dawn of BTC but we are for ripple


Title: Re: Pizza for ripples?
Post by: Tirapon on February 22, 2013, 11:03:49 PM
How about you post an address for people to send the BTC. Then when, say, 1 BTC has been pledged, everyone send their BTC and you can place the order. People can post to say how much they've pledged and the address they would like to receive their XRP. My ripple address is:

rKcvQj8Uu2JksodanKNUyGY731a8VQaYpe

Damn you idiots.

Whatever, its like 2 quid. I'd have probably just spent it on scratchcards or something anyways...

OK good idea :) here send BTC donations to this addy:

1H8ufWVChTBqPXwuNiJnrahqqAQzUPXBv7

and post your XRP addy  in this thread with how much u have donated, I will add u to this post then
.
When it hits 1btc i will place the order for 2 large pizzas from his local pizza place (with whatever toppings ribuck wants)

I will then divide the 10,000XRP between the donators so for 0.1btc u will get 1000 XRP

Current donations list:

Tirapon -> 0.1BTC -> rKcvQj8Uu2JksodanKNUyGY731a8VQaYpe ... (received)


obviously if no one steps up and donates to and the deal for the pizzas never goes through i will refund all the BTC

Thanks FuzzyBear, this seems like a great way to do it.

Please send me a PM when you've raised the funds, then I'll send you the XRP along with my pizza preferences and delivery address.

BrannigansLaw if u want to be in u need to deposit some btc into this address :

1H8ufWVChTBqPXwuNiJnrahqqAQzUPXBv7

once that hits 1btc I will order pizza for the OP and pay out a share of the XRP's to all those who donated.

I think we might have to set a minimum deposit into the BTC account or is that a bad idea?? don't want to limit people's entry points but same time want to keep the pizza fund growing rapidly :)

So there is a thread giving out a free 100 USD?  That valuation is way to high.

When the Bitcoin Faucet started operation in 2010, it was giving out 5 bitcoins to anyone who asked.

i confirm this, too bad i have lost that wallet from back then.. it had MANY value-less (by then) coins in there

Considering they plan on continuing to release 50 bil ripples, it probably isn't going to be worth much...ever.

Considering their plan is to "hold XRPs and hope they gain value" in order to make money I would say that you are very wrong.

Nice history lesson...  I'm not sure 10k Ripple is worth 2 pizzas just yet though ;-)

10,000 XRP is worth about $10 right now.

True - I guess you could ALMOST get two Hot-n-Ready's from Little Caesars - not that I'd recommend it lol.  Ripple still has a bit of a way to go for 10k to buy two decent large pizzas per the original Lazlo (10k btc) request.

still only one interested fellow pizza buyer....

deposit in here if u want a share of the ripples...

I will close this offer at the end of the week and buy the guy a pizza and make the trade i think, myself making up the rest.

You don't have to make a billion dollars overnight to be successful. Long-term real success, changing the world kind of success, is better than making a few bucks quickly, even if the risk of total failure is significantly higher.

Most excellent :D hope they arrive in a timely fashion and they were happy to do a half and half as well so you should get the pizzas of your choice :D

Ripples have already been sent to me so thank you ribuck

and I have sent 1000XRP's on to you Tirapon please confirm you have received


Title: Re: Pizza for ripples?
Post by: FuzzyBear on March 07, 2013, 06:58:01 PM
pizzas arrived yet??

need pics!! and not just an empty box and ur belly!!

though important to eat it while it fresh and hot, so post on here when ur hunger is satisfied :)

in the meantime have a clowncore rave!!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTrdtqcgceo&list=PLVfT-RQiUTl_49DDbbeqvsKIFmfy7EIo0 (sorry gone off toipic!!)

Post by: ribuck on March 07, 2013, 07:27:32 PM
I just want to report that I successfully traded 10,000 ripples for two large pizzas, which arrived at 6:28. Mmmmm.

As requested, one was Marguerita and one was Half-and-Half (veggie supreme, and ground beef). The Garlic & Herb "crust dip" was a new concept for me, but I see there's some similar dip in laszlo's 2010 Bitcoin pizza photo (http://heliacal.net/~solar/bitcoin/pizza/), so I guess this just means I don't eat pizza often enough.

Thanks FuzzyBear and Tirapon!

I couldn't find my Casascius Ripple, so I included a Casascius Bitcoin in the photos instead.

Post by: tpantlik on March 07, 2013, 08:10:23 PM
This would be more exciting:
Ribuck issues IOUs on BTC for fuzzybear(fuzzybear trusts only Tirapon up to 2pizzas) in exchange for two pizzas. Fuzzybear exchange ribucks IOUs with Tirapon(he trusts ribuck up to the price of 2pizzas) for two pizzas. Later Tirapon exchange IOUs with ribuck in exchange for 2pizzas. Is it possible?


Title: Re: Pizza for ripples?
Post by: ribuck on March 07, 2013, 09:13:30 PM
tpantlik, you are correct. So far we have only supported the pizza industry by using the XRP part of Ripple.

Someone else can be the first person to get pizza using unenforceable debt created from nothing. That would be more exciting.

Ripple is made for stuff like that. No reason why it can't happen.


Title: Re: Pizza for ripples?
Post by: tpantlik on March 07, 2013, 09:36:41 PM
That part about trust relationships in ripple is a little irritating thing in this concept. But if defaulted IOUs can be enforced externally like "U will not pay me for this IOUs, we are done as a friends" should work. Maybe not. But imagine some kind of collective enforcement like government legal approvement (I hate state  ;-), this is example) it will be more interesting than Bitcoin. B4 that there will be probably only gateways to address this.
