I'm actually staying nowhere near Indonesia but i've been to jakarta once. Yeah I think I saw some in coinmap

but are you living in Indonesia? because there are some merchants in jakarta as well that accept Bitcoin

Our idea? Post something in the thread if you can. We have a lot of posts in our GetGems group now but it would be good if we could make some public posts too.

How to Buy Bitcoin via Indomaret using iPaymu:

1. Create account in Bitcoin.co.id
2. Choose topup Rupiah via Indomaret (processed by ipaymu)
3. Follow the instruction
4. Pay your outstanding bills in Indomaret
5. You can buy Bitcoin through your account in Bitcoin.co.id

cool, I'll take a look at it first 

Hi,

Nice. Yes, this project has had good reception so far. I am happy to work on it and want to continue.

The link is here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10383498

So there are about three things you can do here. Post a photo and/or request and/or provide free services. We would be happy to get you Bali Bitcoiners on board too. Ok, let's say... Is there anything you Bali Bitcoiners could do for free and post a photo? It doesn't have to be hard or take a long time. Can you post an image of a coconut with a flamingo on top of it or something of the like? You do have a lovely natural environment over there. I do stuff for free too so I am dogfooding the concept. @Bitcoinnuts please post a photo in our thread.

really like the idea ! gonna donate some when i get home : >

I'm not staying at Bali, but I'm interested with your project

Is there anything you Bitcoiners at Bali could do for free for goodwill and possibly tips?

I am working on the free services exchange project (see signature)

haven't tried buying anything with Bitcoin but it's definitely worth to try

too bad I'm not living anywhere near bali though...

agreed. I did it once and it does feel different!

CoinDesk Coverage about our Project:

A new Bali-based booking agency is aiming to make it easier for people to travel in the region using bitcoin.

BitcoinTour allows users to exchange their digital currency for hotel, train and flight reservations, as well as tour bookings. Airlines supported by the firm include Air Asia, Citilink and Lion Air. The agency also claims to support “almost all” of the starred hotels in Indonesia.

The organisation has been set up as part of Bali’s BitIslands initiative, which aims to turn the popular Indonesian tourist destination into a ‘bitcoin paradise’. The company also accepts payments in Indonesia’s national currency, the rupiah.

BitIslands’ project director Oscar Darmawan said that even though BitcoinTour is less than two weeks old, it has already taken more than $10,000 in bitcoin, adding:

“We are confident that in the future the sales will be increase by more than triple that.”

Bitcoin Island

The BitIslands project, launched in May 2014, plans to persuade all local businesses to accept bitcoin and is sponsored by Bitcoin.co.id, Indonesia’s largest bitcoin exchange and lobby group.

Darmawan said:

“[The] Bitislands Project has been growing quite well in Bali. There is a co-working space, hotels, villas, restaurants, a jewellery shop, food delivery services and even taxis that are accepting bitcoin. Currently, we are also running a bitcoin centre that provides free education for people who want to know about bitcoin.”

BitIslands’ full bitcoin business directory can be seen here.

Tourist benefits

Extending from close to Malaysia all the way to Australasia, Indonesia is a vast archipelago of over 13,000 islands littered with volcanoes, tropical forests, diver-friendly reefs and a host of different cultures.

While an increasingly popular destination for travellers, the nation’s infrastructure often leaves much to be desired.

ATMs are often few and far between and offer limited amounts for withdrawals, businesses do not always accept credit cards outside larger tourist spots and travelling with large amounts of cash comes with the usual security concerns.

For this reason, there is a significant use case for integrating bitcoin into the nation’s tourist infrastructure, Darmawan said.

“We get visited by many bitcoiners,” said Darmawan, “and some of them come with interesting stories about how they lost their wallet because it got stolen when they were on the market. So they need to sell some bitcoin to get some rupiah. And some of them come straight from the airport to get cash in rupiah. We are glad to be helping them while visiting Indonesia.”
