1  Economy / Service Discussion / Has anybody tried Square Cash? on: November 12, 2013, 09:55:06 PM
I'm wondering if anyone has played with this.  I just read about it, and it sounds pretty amazing, and perhaps even useful for people to use with Localbitcoins or something else.

"Square Cash doesn't require either person in a transaction to have a Square account, and there are no fees, said product manager Brian Grassadonia. In order to send money, all that's required is for the sender to address an e-mail to the recipient, with a CC: to cash@square.com, and the amount in the e-mail's subject line. The body of the email can contain any information the sender wants.

Although users don't need a Square Cash account, both the sender and the recipient must link their e-mail address to a debit card, Grassadonia explained. That step takes place after the e-mail is sent. Once a recipient has gone through that process, that person can then send someone else money without having to re-enter their debit card number. The funds are deposited directly in the recipient's bank account, and not in a stored balance account. "

2  Economy / Service Discussion / I just discovered Bitmit is closing down on: November 06, 2013, 06:10:13 PM
Had to cancel my first listing there, as the auction was going to close in 30 minutes.  I'm really bummed about this.  Sorry to the two people who were bidding on my Silver "Thank You" bar, I thought it better to just delete the auction rather than get embroiled in the rush for the exits.

Does anyone have suggestions for a replacement for Bitmit?

Here is an interesting article by a Bitcoin-aware author that encapsulates where I think our economies are going for the masses.  Of course, the Bitcoin economy will be separate, and to some extent in open opposition, which is, in my view, exactly what it should be.  Cheesy
