I live in Chile, I can get alpaca socks cheap enough and ship them up if there is a demand.
I'm about to start selling olive oil and a few other things for bitcoin as well.

Seems like a great idea. Alpaca socks are almost like a cult item and every real bitcoiner just has to have a pair  ;) There are rumours that wearing Alpaca socks increasing effective hash rate of your nearby bitcoin rigs i.e. the rigs find more blocks.

I am seriously considering hanging a pair of socks in front of every rig of mine. It would than not only act as a bitcoin luck attractant but as a dust filter too.  :D This might become a significant competitive advantage


Alpaca actually tastes really really good too.
I'll take it over beef any day.

I'm talking about the meet not the wool.

The alpaca socks market needs competition; break that monopoly!

I can vouch for this.

I need a US distributor.

Or Europe I don't care.

Honestly not joking about that.
I do import / export in Chile.

I'm working on sending some olive oil up right now but if there is something else people are interested in distributing for bitcoin I'd like to sell it.
Wine would work great but I need to ship a lot to make it worth it. Maybe some alpaca scarves =0 when I figure out works well I'll  make some more posts.
I'm meeting with a new shipping company in about 20 minutes so maybe I'll be able to lower my prices a bit too.

Theres an alpaca farm about 5km down the road from me. I sent them an email asking for a price list for the socks and other stuff they make :)

Actually there are alpaca farms everywhere here as well as honey and dairy.

Good Idea ! 

I just emailed the seller for a pair myself, and asked him if he would consider doing a special edition "Bitcoin Logo" embroidered on the socks ! ;)

Ill let you know what they say.
