Wouldn't you need to get a person there to plant the flag?

Well, the U.S is the only country that has ever put a man on the moon. The fact that it was done over 40 years ago, and no other country has felt the need to also do so, leads me to believe that its either very costly, or very hard to do.
I think we would be better off with something like local advertising, rather than putting a flag on the moon where only aliens will see it.

a man is much harder than a flag. Life support and a return are unecessary.

I don't know exactly what the goal was/is of lunar x-prize, but if I remember, the plan was to shoot a bot to the moon, have it drive around and send a HD livestream back to earth.
I don't buy the "but we could use the money much better for xyz" story. Using that argument we'd probably still be in the stone age.

How about we build our own small rocket and shoot it to the moon to implant the flag?
Like we see with iphones and weather baloons.
Either way get it crowdfunded in bitcoins http://www.bitcoinstarter.com

How about we used the stash we collected (I described in previous post) as a bounty. Whoever puts a bitcoin flag onto the moon first will get the coins.
And Dank can control the stash.
Who?
We can just hide the private key on the dark side of the moon, uh, wait...

How come no one is even mentioning Tony Stark's real life counterpart Elon Musk's SpaceX?

I am pretty sure they can give you a quote if you send them an email or twitter.
We should do this. It would be too funny. www.spacex.com

We should all donate for our very own bitcoin satelite!
I would donate for this.
I think moon is a little to over the top, but satellite would be more feasible.
Hey man, I for one don't want "feasable".
If it's too expensive now, we can just wait.
How about collecting bitcoins into an escrow and as soon as exchange rate makes it possible, we'll do it?
Of course there needs to be a deadline when the coins will be given back should that point never come. Like 2020 or something.

Let's build a mega laser and and fire an image of Bitcoin logo on the moon.
Been there! Done that!

Or pay to piggy back on some mission to send an USB stick with a copy of the blockchain (like letcore said, I think a copy of the blockchain is more meaningful). Much cheaper.
Yeah... because I was planning on going there and retrieve that blockchain backup when mine dies.
It's just publicity.

With that amount of money, you can pretty much hire some famous celebrity to advertise instead... and still cheaper by 100 times...

Here"s your options you may canvass. If they are going you only need to pay for a small part of the cost . Or you can ask Will Smith as Hancock whose already been there done that! OR Men in Black, Superman etc.

Inspired by this guy trying to put up a bitcoin flag at the south pole (only BTC 0.46 left to donate for this, btw), I've been thinking about putting a Bitcoin Flag onto THE MOON!
How about it?
Can we put a rough number on the cost of such a challenge?
At what exchange rate would it be feasable?
How could this be organized (x-price style?)
What else could be part of the mission?

That price is for sending a person. It's much cheaper if you send a robot with flag planting arm.
