What are your plans for bitcoin pizza day this year?

Exciting that it falls on a Saturday!

We are now up to two restaurants that accept bitcoin lightning network south of Cleveland.

I plan to get take out from SWAT Food Truck for dinner in Northfield, Ohio!

https://www.swatfoodtruck.com/

They use the kitchen at the VFW Post 6768.

8584 Olde 8 Rd Northfield, Ohio

If you're interested in ordering and paying using the bitcoin lightning network, call in your order and they can text you your lightning invoice. (The website is only setup for credit card payments... for now )

I tested this out for them a couple weeks ago and was able to pay before hanging up. Let me know if you have any questions on how this works.

Happy early bitcoin pizza day!

In this video, #MontyBitcoin makes the first food to go order over the phone using the #Bitcoin Lightning Network using BlueWallet. Bitcoin Pizza Day 2020 was the day (May 22, 2020). What better way to celebrate the 10  year anniversary of Laszlo's purchase than to use the lightning network for my lunch order! Naturally, I ordered take out from Scratch Restaurant, the only lunch restaurant that accepts bitcoin in Cleveland, Ohio!

I used BlueWallet for the lightning network which allowed this transaction to be confirmed instantly, and have reasonable transaction fee!

Perhaps you want to check out an order at Scratch Restaurant: https://scratchrestaurant.com/

It's time for Bitcoin Pizza Day!

I'll be celebrating once again by getting delicious food at Scratch Restaurant!

As you may know, Scratch is one of the only restaurants accepting bitcoin at this time in the greater Cleveland area!

Most importantly, Nick will accept lightning payments. I plan to use BlueWallet.

Let me know if you prefer a different app for paying with the lightning network.

Pretty cool to get these folks in Cleveland!!!

Bitcoin MAX RAGE Meetup w/ Max Keiser, Stacy Herbert, Peter McCormack, and more!

Thu, Oct 10, 2019, 7:00 PM:
Details:
Mark your calendars for Ohio's largest bitcoin meetup (pending RSVP count) on October 10th at Magnolia Cleveland between 7:00 and midnight.

Sponsored by DropBit - Join us at the event for the DropBit Lightning Release Party!

Featured guests/speakers include Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert from RT, Peter McCormack from "What Did Bitcoin Do", and YouTube personalities Crypto Zombie and Crypto Savy.

Max Keiser is internationally known as the first broadcast journalist to tell the world to buy Bitcoin when it was $1 as a way to fight banksters.

He’s credited with creating tens of thousands of Bitcoin millionaires in over 100 countries thanks to “Keiser Report” on RT.

In addition to accumulating BTC, Keiser and his wife Stacy Herbert via their VC fund Heisenberg Capital, have been investors in crypto’s earliest startups including Kraken, BitPay, and Shapeshift.

Keiser’s LIVE presentations have been compared to a revival meeting where the faithful gather to bask in the greatness of Satoshi and rejoice in the demise of banksters, central bankers, and fiat.

This is a free event, so don't miss out on this educational and entertaining experience!

Once again, We will be gathering at Scratch restaurant in Independence, OH on May 22 from 4-7pm.

I hope you can join to catch up and celebrate while enjoying a flatbread pizza.

As you may know, Scratch is one of the only restaurants accepting bitcoin at this time in the greater Cleveland area!

https://www.facebook.com/events/322255865133481/

I plan to be at Scratch by 9AM, to celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day!

Scratch
6595 Brecksville Road #1
Independence, Ohio. 44131

Hope you can join so we can discuss bitcoin more.

I plan to check it out August 3rd; I'll report back on the fees. [EDIT: was not operational by the time I got there...]

Not sure about using one in the casino, fee's and exchange rate will probably be insane.

Last time I was in Vegas, they wanted $5 just for a regular ATM and that was around 10 years ago!

Has anyone been to this ATM yet at Horseshoe?

http://coinatmradar.com/bitcoin_atm/536/bitcoin-atm-general-bytes-cleveland-horseshoe-casino/

Went for another go in Lakewood, OH and that ATM was removed as well.

Coffee Proper is still accepting  though and we got two cafe mochas before heading to "Meet the Trucks" with our one year old which was fun.

Then for Father's Day, we went to Tavern Co to find out no Bitcoin acceptance.  I think they only did it one day as a Bitcoin Boulevard promotion.

So at least you can get coffee in Cleveland.

We'll see if another ATM makes an appearance someday or if anything else starts accepting.

Things goes up and down. Eventually btc will be accepted almost everywhere. I'm happy to see some enthusiasm for you

Perhaps by next year, we'll have a pizza shop in Cleveland setup to accept bitcoin.

As of now, this summarizes my recent weekend (May 24th) experience:

I went searching for the Bitcoin ATM in Lyndhurst on Sunday... It's gone...  Perhaps the first in Lakewood electronics/computer store still exists... an adventure for another day...

Also, went for brunch at Tavern Co (who accepts Bitcoin payments on Bitcoin boulevard), and they were closed... Hopefully just for the holiday weekend...  will try again for fathers day.

Then I went to buy a copy of Bitcoin magazine at Microcenter... And they don't sell it anymore... Likely since they switched magazine vendors late last year...

Struck out (0/3)... Poor bitcoins in Cleveland...  I've clearly gotta reprioritize!

Perhaps this summer, I can reenergize the Cleveland Bitcoin movement and have a meetup.

Cleveland Bitcoin meetup group has changed ownership again.  Hopefully, we'll get some action there soon.

In other news, the Starbucks Fold App is awesome and actually kept my wife's attention for us to try that out successfully in Cleveland on Saturday May 23rd, so all is not lost!

Hope last night's meetup was good:  http://www.meetup.com/Cleveland-Bitcoin/events/218827300/

If any materials can be shared online, that would be awesome!

Happy Satoshi Nakamoto Day!

If anyone sees this person at the meet up please tell him his kind is not welcome in our community

Things have been going well in Cleveland.

We had a great meetup last Wednesday which combined with a local monetary literacy group.

I'm guessing it won't be the last time these two meetups overlap.

Next meetup is this Thursday at The Tavern over at Bitcoin Boulevard.

I won't be there, but there should be plenty of people getting food for bitcoin!

See you next month!

Join our group so that you're informed of our next events.

I can't believe I missed this!

I don't live too far away. I'd be happy to come up and spend a little on food and fun, talking BTC.

was a good gathering tonight!
hope to make it to the next..it's pretty sweet having 3 choices of bitcoin accepting stores in the cleveland area hopefully that list keeps growing

Join our next discussion:

http://www.meetup.com/Cleveland-Bitcoin/events/166742062/

When new faces show up, we typically answer the new questions they bring.

However, as we get returning members, we will break off into separate discussions for more targeted topics.

Feel free to add to the list, but right now I'm thinking:

1) Mining
2) Projects/jobs
3) using/spending bitcoin
4) Investments / making money off of bitcoin

These topics would help us break into smaller groups, but when only 10-15 people show up we typically can talk in a big group discussion.

Haven't seen this before. If only I knew about meetings I would come. That would be nice to hear what you've already discussed on the previous meetings?

Thanks for the bump Camo!

It had been a while since I used this avenue for spreading the word.

i've texted all my localbitcoins contacts hoping for a good turnout

Me too

i'm in for the next meetup!

Guys, I'm totally up for participating in the next meetup. I can't believe I overlooked this before.

So how did Nov 15th go?  I'm looking forward to either the next meetup, or Dec 5th for TechPint. Hopefully I can make one of them.

Record attendance with 9 peeps!

Next meetup scheduled for November 15th (Bitcoin Friday).

I hope we all have some great deals to share.

Yaaay, someone other than me posted in this thread

I saw that.  It reduces the drive from 4.5 hours down to 3.5 hours.  I hope to be in Cincy for one of those in the future.

We're having our tenth meetup down here in Cincy..

This time a bit up I-75 to try to welcome any Dayton Bitcoiners that might be out there.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3348408

Next meetup will be Oct 23rd @ 6:30PM.

At David's Grill & Bar at 1001 Lakeside Ave, Cleveland, OH 44114.

See you there.

Met some good people at TechPint.

Looking to have another meetup either Oct 16 or 17, or Oct 23 or 24.

PM me if interested with your preferred date.

I'll be rocking some bitcoin representation at Tech Pint this Thursday evening.

http://www.techpint.org/

I'll report back if there's any traction!

I hope to create a QR code to link to my BTCXperts profile and some simple business card before I go there. 

I haven't had time to create anything more elegant just yet.

Had 3 people this time (including me), but a lot of people with legitimate excuses, haha.

We'll see how the October meetup goes... likely first or second week of the month.

Good times drinking beers for bitcoins and chatting about bitcoin mining successes!

I realize I'm the only one talking here, but just in case, how does Wed, Sept 11 sound for our next Cleveland Meetup?

I'm thinking same place & time.

We had 5 people (I knew 4 of them previously) at our first Cleveland Bitcoin Meetup.

Will schedule another in September after work slows down for me.  We'll see if we can get some new people to show up!

First meetup tomorrow:

Read more about David's Grill and Bar accepting Bitcoin here:

Probably a small crowd to start, but nothing beats paying for beers with bitcoins!

Starting a Cleveland Meetup at the first restaurant in Ohio to accept bitcoin (press release in the works)

http://www.meetup.com/Cleveland-Bitcoin/events/129968332/

We'll see what date works out for most, but feel free to start your registration if you are in the area!
