This is a huge and a fantabulous news. Atleast this should take the rates across 1000 mark.

Next would be their competitors like Home Depot, Lowe's and finally Walmart (probably).!

imo btc will never be accepted mainstream until there is some protections, like cash affords us.

like a way to get people from defrauding you or stealing your wallet.

ya ya ya ...escrow...but I don't have to do escrow with my cash. You steal my money or don't deliver I have recourse with cash.

thoughts...?

You also do not send loads of cash from one place to another by pressing few buttons.

no time and no protection.
I love and mine btc/ltc, but my point is it will never go mainstream IMO without those protections

How can cash provide you protection, in its true form cash does not  protect you. The banking  systems like credit cards and VC are centralized so it provides consumer  protection and some protection from theft. Cash can be stolen, it can be over inflated and it can be manipulated with ease, who will protect you against that?

You do understand that a bank charges escrow with huge charges right?

Dude majority of the shoppers there are women.. So you know.. i guess only half of that would have actually been used to buy stuff that is really required. Wink
