> Can someone in Boulder walk over, knock, and report back? 3401 Bluff St, Boulder, CO is the address. Maybe take some photos, ask some questions, don't break any laws of course (trespassing and whatnot).

Maybe, but I need some BTC to get there on my day off, I can drop by around lunch time and see what the rank and file have to say.

See, who said BTC has no use-case: it continues to fund independent journalism!

Whether you guys are willing to use it is another matter entirely, but it does stuff like this all the time that you are simply not privy to.

I'm calling your bluff, HN: I'll follow up with BTC address if this materializes and will report by end of day with what I found if you make it happen.

Let me know if you'd take Venmo or Zelle instead. I am curious, but not enough to buy bitcoin curious. Probably curious enough to put the gig on Craigslist though.

I don't but Venmo does offer BTC purchases and transfers natively and seamlessly now[0].

So here is my BTC address [1], you can send 1/2 sats now and 1/2 the sats after it's done (.0019 total) and Ill head out when it hits my wallet and I'll upload to imgur or whatever platform you want with what I find out.

Names will probably have to be left out if they decide to talk on record for obvious reasons.
