Pizza for bitcoins?

[Zebra]

Will this eventually become the world's first million-dollar pizza?

look at this man predicted that it will be million-dollar in 2010

No you can check price of Bitcoin in 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Bitcoin  its just 0.08$ for 1 bitcoin

I guess you misinterpreted endrowski's post.
If he rephrase his post as "this man predicted in 2010 that the pizza will be million-dollar", it should reflect his point more correctly.

[freedomno1]

someone dox this guy and find his information lol he is rich. We need to aware him!

He is already here and he claimed not to have any Bitcoins left. Laszlo is also the first person who wrote GPU mining software for Bitcoin.

Yep requoting since its convenient that way

Thanks for the kind words guys.

The pizza thing was a lot more popular than I thought so I made good on as many trades as I could.  Other than a little bit of single digit change, I spent everything I mined.  As you all know, the difficulty rises to adjust to hashing power, so eventually the mining wasn't worth it for me.

GPU mining BTC in 2010!??

As far as I know I was the first to release a GPU miner.  I contributed the hash meter back then too, that's what the screen shot was all about.  I used to maintain the Mac OS builds but others have taken that up now.  It was a fun project and I learned all about OpenCL.  I can't find the thread on the forum anymore but you can find it in my web dir ( http://eclipse.heliacal.net/~solar/bitcoin/sha256.cl ).  That was back in May 2010.  Maybe there were other people who were doing it in private too, though.  For a long time I had been looking for a reason to learn how to write a shader, and this was a great project for it.  The way I looked at it, I was helping out with an open source project, and I was making pizza with my code.

You guys will laugh now but I mined everything with an nvidia 9800 GTX+ on Mac OS (hackintosh, another scene I used to help out in).  I ended up getting 2 AMD Radeon 5970s with the bitcoins I was mining, but at the time, the OpenCL libraries from AMD and nvidia both were really buggy and I never got it to work right on more than one GPU.  The same code that would work on the nvidia on linux wouldn't work on windows and vice versa.  I was trying to make a generic OpenCL miner that everyone could run on all 3 platforms, and I spent months tweaking different kernels for each GPU, but I was also working two jobs at the time and so I never finished it.  I ended up just leaving bitcoin on the back burner for a few years, then it exploded and people started asking me about the pizza trades.  Every time the value goes up on exchanges, people email me asking me to comment on it, but really there isn't much more to tell than what I explained here.

This is the old GPU mining release I made for Mac OS, probably won't work anymore though: http://eclipse.heliacal.net/~solar/bitcoin/Bitcoin-MacOSX-Intel-svn-75-opencl-2010-05-10.dmg

bitcoin has lot of little unwritten stories like this, it is how open source works, people try to do what they can even after working 2 jobs .... many hands make light work.

I'll pay 10,000 bitcoins 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 bitcoins 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,
Laszlo

The pizza is so expensive. 10000 bitcoins = $5,000,000 now.

this really amazing . who you know it will worth amazing. $50  to 5M usd .

If someone could have thought about this, he/she would have bought a large number of bitcoin back then and become a billionaire now.
And that 10K btc had a worth of over 11M a few months ago.

10,000... Thats quite a bit.. you could sell those on https://www.bitcoinmarket.com/ for $41USD right now..

Poor laszlo, everytime I see this thread I just cringe... same with the story about the guy in the UK who tossed out his hard disk with his wallet on it that had millions on it.

Yes, it's a touching story and he (laszlo) seems to be a really nice guy who does not have any regrets... I would be crying like a little girl if this was me.

I highly doubt laszlo used his entire bitcoin fortune on a couple of pizzas. At the very least he probably had a few thousand left over after the transaction and is still one of the guys who got here early and became rich from it.

I wish I was on here when the OP was making this offer. Even when the OP made the OP whoever took his deal would have made out very well. Today they would be a multimillionaire.
