That would actually be amazing! At my place, our grocery shops have auto-checkout, it would be amazing to have bitcoins has a payment option  Yeah and you can stand there for up to 15 minutes waiting for the first confirmation if its a slow block  I second that! Unless confirmation speeds decrease and arrive in the wallet of the reciever faster I doubt people will accept it as widely.. 15 minutes? I've waited as long as 40 minutes for a confirmation... Mind you that was before there was new ASIC hardware constantly being plugged in. |

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

Good idea but farmers are usually conservative people. I think they will not jump immediately into the bitcoin business.

Conservatives hate the fed, like capitalism and like saving money. I wouldn't be surprised if they made up a large portion of the bitcoin economy, in the US atleast. |

Seriously, I am hoping someday my Bitcoins will be worth enough to buy a big farm in Brazil and grow organic fruits and veggies on fertile soil and give people a healthy food options to buy with or without Bitcoin.
I am not going to buy fancy cars and houses if Bitcoin becomes $10k, instead I just want to live a natural off-the-grid life with a family, dog, and a nice garden with a natural water source nearby.
Thats pretty much my dream.

this is great idea, i often wish i could purchase ingredients like produce and meat (i like to cook) rather than food (ala Gyft).
but i must say, when you look at it, people have been trading bitcoin for "horticultural products" (read: pot) quite extensively via the Tor drug markets.. if one were to look at the capitalization on these markets, i wonder how highly "farm" products would rank in the bitcoin economy?

Now that I've bought land I definitely plan to sell food for bitcoin. My farm will focus on high-quality, free range pork and chicken. When the food forest crops come in we'll have many kinds of berries and fruits, and eventually nuts.
I need something that I can ship out to internet customers. Any ideas?
I envy you... What mkbit said. I would drop the meat. Noooo! I never got to sample the candied bacon that Bitpantry sold before they closed shop. I've already got a source for awesome baklava, now I need some delicious meats too! |
Bitcoin is the ultimate freedom test. It tells you who is giving lip service and who genuinely believes in it.
... ... In the future, books that summarize the history of money will have a line that says, “and then came bitcoin.” It is the economic singularity. And we are living in it now. - Ryan Dickherber... ... ATTENTION BFL MINING NEWBS: Just got your Jalapenos in? Wondering how to get the most value for the least hassle? Give BitMinter a try! It's a smaller pool with a fair & low-fee payment method, lots of statistical feedback, and it's easier than EasyMiner! (Yes, we want your hashing power, but seriously, it IS the easiest pool to use! Sign up in seconds to try it!)... ... The idea that deflation causes hoarding (to any problematic degree) is a lie used to justify theft of value from your savings.

Nice video. |
