I've only begun to be awesome. Whether you or they know it, they're in a unique place and time to further this endeavor to the nth degree.

If I'm not mistaken, there's 3-4 lads having different skill sets that should be able to build and maintain a website, of which I will reimburse for their chosen domain name (a unique one for this endeavor is still available that I would share privately so that it's not taken prematurely).

The purpose of the website is to sell only one product--hot dogs. Hot dogs from around the world, consisting of every imaginable topping, not to mention the myriad of ways various nations present their dogs, i.e. here in the US traditionally they're served on a bun.

No need to worry about sanitation, preparation or shipping, for these would be virtual hot dogs, purchased only with Bitcoin at a cost of $2.00 USD/NZD/AUD/CAN (the purity is close enough). For other currencies, a nice round number as close to $2.00 (pick one) as possible would suffice. The bottom line, each and every currency in the world will be represented on their website, but again they'll only accept BTC.

As the website grows and gains traction, it'll be continually update with images of international hot dogs that they've actually cooked/build themselves, then photograph.

I'm not done yet!

Let's say I order a German hot dog, known locally as the frankfurter, from the website, depicted similarly to the below.



Once paid, a short video appears, whereupon I'll view some cute Fräulein presenting me my order, bringing it all the way up to the camera, and speaking in her native tongue something to the effect, "Enjoy your meal."

Obtaining the videos would be no problem either, for I've got a plan that involves having the female/male/other servers submitting footage free of charge. More on that later if this idea comes to fruition.

Assuming you're the older brother, you would be in position to manage these lads as they get to travel around the world, known on the Hot Dog Guys (close to the moniker I have in mind).

Here's the beautiful part of the whole idea: It'll cost no upfront monies what-so-ever. All they would have to do is commit.

Sounds awesome! I'll chat to my brother about it when I get home Cheesy

Here we go, as promised, $2.00 USD for the very first virtual Hot Dog a la Chicago Style, purchased from some fine lads residing in New Zealand.



Now, who's brave enough to follow my lead, allowing the boys to do whatever they desire with their after-the-sale sales.

That's awesome! Cheesy I'll let the boys know to check their btc address!

That is really really cool. Thanks for sharing and helping spread the word about BTC
Not a problem Smiley


How much were the hotdogs?

What's the address so that I can buy a virtual hotdog (seriously) since the stand is now closed?
They were selling them for $2 NZD in fiat or BTC0.008.
Their address is 1EMn38NTVTugkaoe1VjgEh1sKq2vDqyDXZ

Curious: https://blockchain.info/address/1HDogb4RXd7kmR3GHqw94KzTqEammAEbKj

Kinda matches the QR Code on the table.

Are you sure the 1EM... address isn't yours and you purchased 2 Hot Dogs via the 1HDog... address? I can easily see how you can make an honest mistake seeing that 1EM... is similar to 1HDog, especially if two bucks is about to be transferred to purchase a virtual hot dog.

The QR on the table ( https://i.imgur.com/Lf3hXZw.png ) includes the price of 0.008btc. The last transaction on the address was moving the funds to my brother, my demo transactions (for curious staff) back to myself (1AP2/1GusS2) and the remainder to 1HDog which will be exchanged for NZD and given to the other 3 members of the group who wanted cash.


Fair enough, bud. Is the IHDog... address still accessible, meaning if funds are sent there, they would be able to have access to them, for I prefer that address and not for ANY concerns about ANY nefarious activities. I have something up my sleeve I think them boys would get a kick out of it.

Yep, the 1hdog address is still accessible, It's linked to my brother's blockchain account.

Writing code which deals with money is probably and unbelievably bad starter project.  It would be likely to be educational though...

I'd suggest to just work on an educational web site which includes information on sustainable ways to obtain BTC in quantity, and perhaps work on automating the creation or funding of wallets at an existing on-line service.  Instawallet was awesome for this purpose back in the day since account creation was non-existent...dunno if what is kicking around now.  Self-fund the wallets and see if donations can cover the costs.  Just a suggestion.



Thanks for your reply!
There would be no coin stored on the server, and rather than automating it I would handle all the payouts manually. All the form would do is handle requests for bitcoin, notify me and serve the visitor a reference number.

Hi all,
I've been spreading the world about bitcoin locally and people are really keen on getting involved. The only problem is the lack of availability in New Zealand without using an exchange or heavily marked up service. I aim to create a basic website that gives instructions on creating a wallet and shows a form allowing people completely new to bitcoin to enter their bitcoin address and amount they want to purchase (in NZD or bitcoin) and be given a reference number and a bank account number to deposit funds to. Ideally this would be saved in a MySQL database or similar system which I can check daily and send orders when the bank transfer comes through.

Is there an existing script for something like this or should I write my own (I have limited coding knowledge but I'm happy to do some googling to find some tutorials)

Thanks!

Angus.

My brother and his friends decided to run a hotdog stand for my school's trade fair so I mentioned to him that he could accept bitcoin as payment. He seemed pretty keen on the idea so I helped him set up a wallet and print a QR code. Here's the results!

The stand


The payment setup


The result


I ended up buying 2 myself, got some teachers and other students set up with wallets and sold them some bitcoin cheaply to try it out. I gave out exchange urls and quite a few people expressed interest in 'getting into it more'.
As an added bonus, the commerce department at school want me to do a presentation on bitcoin later this month (If anyone has suggestions on topics to cover that would be awesome).


Quite a productive day Grin

11  Other / Beginners & Help / Unable to sign up with Cex.io (500 Internal Server Error) on: October 29, 2013, 07:51:28 AM
Hi all,
I've been trying to sign up for Cex.io over the course of the last few hours, but have been unable to no matter how many settings I change or how many computers/vpns I try. It comes up with the error after submitting my details for signup (500 internal server error)

Any ideas on what the problem may be? I've contacted Cex.io, but there has been no response, and I seem to be the only one having this problem.

Cheers,

Angus
