I think it's cool that a mini market might accept bitcoin. It would be even cooler if they could somehow sell them. I think one of the biggest barriers to entry for BTC is actually getting a hold of them. Once that's fixed, more stores would probably begin accepting them.
Agreed. Bitcoins are much harder to get hold of than to spend.
Insert bitinstant here...
www.bitinstant.com/However, I will admit; I just went to their website to try to find the closest local branch where I could deposit cash & get bitcoins, but I couldn't find on the website a list of locations.
Can anyone post a link? If it doesn't exist, then I suggest they add a page to their website that helps people find the closest brick & mortar to go get bitcoins.
