Topic: Sending a "hamburger" through the blockchain (Read 2139 times)
Divide the hamburger by zero and it will turn into a transaction. LoL
Connect Bitcoin with 3d printers. Right now you can already send a lot of "things" through the internet: guns and guitars are just the tip of the iceberg.
While it's possible to print food, it's a very expensive and experimental technology, available only to institutions like NASA.
No need to fix it, thanks.
Yeah if I recall there was a 250k euros hamburger that was printed/grown from stem cells , but it's a really blown up estimate due to the "experimental" side of things
Also why do you think only NASA have it? Have you heard of Reprap? Most if not all of NASA designs ( which are nothing special actually ) are open source so you're welcome to diy and contribute back to the community with your findings
That would be a colored coin, but I see it more cumbersome than simply paying for the hamburger.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if a million appcoin pumpers cried out in terror and were suddenly bankrupt.

How do you seal the hamburger irl to only be eatable by the owner?You would need a serial number for the hamburger. Synthetic food much?

How do you seal the hamburger irl to only be eatable by the owner?Maybe there's some kind of marker in the Bitcoin. You can only redeem it if you have the key.
can't understand the point of your topic.
You want to send physical things over internet???
I doubt it will be doable until teleport is a widespread tech.

We're not teleporting anything except electricity. I think I already explained how it would be done practically in the OP.
Again, this method's benefit is in that you wouldn't be sending Bitcoins (of money value) directly to the recipient. Well, technically you are, but there would be some indication that it is only redeemable for a hamburger or whatever object you specify. It's essentially a coupon or food stamp.

So if I understand you correctly, it would work like those places where you can buy a cup of coffee or chicken sandwich and put it "on hold" to be redeemed by anyone who requests it. Only you do it with Bitcoin. Here's an article that kind of explains how it works. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2301855/Charity-coffee-scheme-launches-UK-lets-drinkers-donate-lattes-need.html

But I suppose if I have to add to it, by sending an "abstract object of value", you're defining a restriction on how it can be withdrawn. So if you send a hamburger, the recipient can only withdraw a hamburger. The vendor would get the bitcoins. You're essentially creating a coupon to be redeemed.

Yes, Bitcoin was created to represent value. That's why it's called "money".
Congratulations captain obvious.
Congratulations captain obvious.
LOL. Exsmactly. That level of abstraction goes over some people's heads. Just like if you told them Bitcoin was made out of thin air and only gets value when backed by people with influence. So for now, I don't think I should have to elaborate further on the idea of sending hamburgers, or cars even, through the Internet.
What is the point of this exactly? To say that you can buy stuff with bitcoin?
