Yes it's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwetOo6gqZQ
AFAIK that was a one time event only though. If not and this pizza place accepts XMR on a regular basis, all the better!

Meh. There is more pragmatic privacy value in routine transactions than in conspicuous consumption.  

Bitcoin is good enough for Lambos &c., but for important stuff like food, XMR is the better technology.

Let's hope we never have to buy our groceries on the black market.

I lost my faith now...
Monero, Risto and Pizza, don't combine  
Maybe, Monero, Risto and Caviar?

Meh. Let me know when you buy that Bugatti. 

I'm on my phone now but on my computer I have a video of pizza being delivered to Risto last year that I believe was bought with Monero.

Were you the first to pay for food with Monero?  Because if you were, you might go down in history like Laszlo the pizza guy.
Inquiring minds want to know!

On Friday I had the pleasure to make a real-life XMR transaction with what is probably the first restaurant to accept Monero in the world: "Alice Homemade".   
I ordered two salads to be delivered at my home, and paid the delivery man (who also happened to be the restaurant owner) 12 XMR. There is also a 20% discount if you pay with Monero, and on top of the discount I also got two delicious tiramisus, because... that was history in the making!    


(Note I ordered food many times before while paying in XMR. Where I live there is a big website that accept Bitcoin and does the interface between end-customers and hundreds of restaurants, so usually I just pay that website in XMR through https://xmr.to - the restaurants in this case don't even know the command is paid in BTC, even less in XMR).   

But this time this was different, this restaurant Alice Homemade is now accepting Monero directly! (They were also one of the first in the country to accept bitcoins). Here is the Monero transaction for my two salads: 68be427ec0e6c09961522e444e862b643a86ed0f36aaca170c2116686b5d2f44   

They don't have a website, here is the location and some pictures on google.
   
If you pass by (it's close to Brussels international airport), show them some love    

CPU or GPU mining is a good way to get small amounts.

yeah... I tried to find some faucets for monero, but I found none... Faucet owners: Here's your opportunity!

I just started looking into monero b/c it appears to be the best anonymous coin and the value that can provide is what made bitcoin what it is today. For those of you that don't know what I'm talking about, you don't need to know.

But there is a legit beef. I'm an IT guy and it is NOT TRIVIAL to do transactions. The wallet is called "simplewallet" it runs via a command line interface (CLI). I tried to use some third party gui "lightwallet" but that is a total joke. It wouldn't even write the config file. After 30 mins screwing with that piece of junk, I gave up.

1. There is no desktop GUI client wallet. I find that pretty poor planning. If you have no GUI wallet, then you have no usage. Someone badly needs to step up to the plate and get that built.

2. The fact it doesn't share bitcoin's codebase is both a curse and a sparkling diamond. B/c it doesn't get some free code from the bitcoin project, the client and updates are slower.

Going back to #1.

MONERO GET A GUI CLIENT UP NOW. The coin is worthless if it requires a CS degree to use a CLI wallet to use the damn thing. Consider who your target audience is. Also explain right off the bat what the viewkey is, the spendkey, and the PAYMENT ID (which I understand is mandatory for some merchants in order to verify a transaction even existed). mymonero.com is nice but you understand the entire purpose of this coin is super privacy. You can't have people viewing transactions on a website b/c there's no GUI client. Bam there goes privacy.

That should be priority 1 while you continue to work on the infrastrature. Get some usage, feedback, and more merchant support. Please. Otherwise the entire effort may be in vain.

I would like to get involve in this coin and list it on my coins to watch this year but unfortunately they are not traded on yobit,where my coins are and there are no monero faucets listed,this is a very promising coin and surprised that no faucets are existing

That is really interesting. Is there any information on how to use this / how it works?

Integrated/serealised addresses basically include the payment ID into the address, such that you only have to worry about 1 field.
