I think this goes in this thread. Basically, I'm kinda new at Bitcoin mining, but I know enough to get around. However, a question about the economy.

"What does a buyer of bitcoins use them for in the real world?" I know, for example, that the person may be investing for later. What about if a person was selling physical goods for Bitcoins, like a boat. The person who sold the boat has received the Bitcoins, but what is he/she going to do with them? If the received BTC were to be sold on a converter like Mt Gox, what would the person buying the Bitcoins for real money use the Bitcoins for?

I'm kinda confused.

You're awesome :3

Hi.

Basically, want to start mining on my Mac, which I am not as good with as PC. Already mining on my PC, but for the Mac I'm using MacMiner, specifically CPUMiner.
Connecting to Bitminter, everything is typed in correctly, but I get this error message:

dyld: Library not loaded: /Applications/MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/libidn/lib/libidn.11.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/<myname>/Downloads/MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/minerd
  Reason: image not found

Could anyone help by telling me what's going wrong?
