has anyone used color coins for a issuing gift cards for a store/company?

hi im still new and need a few questions cleared up as to how BTC's are generated. I mean I keep reading about mining bitcoins, but in my head it just seems like leaving the computer on for SETI and looking for alien life. That I can understand, but bitcoins I dont understand why these codes have to be generated to then be used. Why can we just generate them with a click of a button?

this is a scary incident... maybe someone should delveop some type of 2 step authentication of some sort like how the banks and gmail does it now.. even if someone stole your password.. they will still need your physical phone to generate a code to do sending or what not.

hi,

I'm super new, but i really love the idea of a decentralized currency that can be controlled by corporate entities.

In any case I want to adopt this as a form of payment at my shop: xcubicle.com

We've been in business since 2007 and repair mainly game systems and do web dev on the side... We would be the first repair shop in the city to accept BTC's I believe...

Are there any stickers of some sort to promote BTC at our physical location?

Also how do i get out of this newbie status? I would like to apply for the contest that Mokrul is having about giving away BTC's if my company adopts it.

Thanks
