@TECSHARE I heard about that too...as I understand, homebrew isn't illegal, and this guy isn't one to be politically confrontational, so I'm pretty confident it wouldn't turn around to bite him (and if it did, I'd have to assume the law would be on his side, as he's doing things totally by the book)
anyway, yes, he's looking to buy with bitcoin. I'll check out homebrew.com as well, but I've perused it a little so far and haven't found anything relating to bitcoin purchases yet.
I was half joking, and half trying to bring attention to what completely innocuous supplies authorities are deeming bomb making materials now days in order to dispose of politically inconvenient people.
