Where are you from? I would be interested in buying dried fruit for bitcoins if you're from EU.

And you can dry them with hot air coming from your GPU or ASIC mining bitcoins, it will sure give them better taste. Wink

I will not. Because bitcoin transaction takes some time to confirmed and I do not want to spend too much on transaction fees to buy dried food. Maybe something else more in value...


Dumb question...i thought one major advantage of bitcoin is that people could send it from peer to peer virtually free?
(bypassing all conversions, exchanges, transaction fees and taxes)

I think it does take time to actually confirm the bitcoin transaction is indeed valid. A voluntary transaction fee will speed up the process. If BTC gets more in value, a 0.005 transaction fee for dried food may cost a lot?

Yes, but from a local vendor. I would get a kick out of spending Bitcoin at the farmer's market.

I read somewhere that people will use bitcoins when the transaction cost of using bitcoins is cheaper than the transaction cost of using currency or credit cards.

Illegal transactions and international exchanges are the obvious categories.

If you are actually considering doing this, give us a shot at www.coingig.com and set up a store. Don't base your success on an opinion of one poster. I think its a good idea! The txn fees are actually not that bad and neither is txn time.

I went to a Bitcoin meeting last night, and one of the hot discussion topics was what real world goods could you buy for Bitcoin.  This idea hit me as I was making some dried fruit for camping trip this weekend.

I can't promise fancy logos or professional grocery store looking packaging, but if someone is interested I will make some and mail them to you for Bitcoin.
