2013-02-07 Cabume - Amazon's new Coins

[giszmo]

Sorry for yet another mention of Amazon Coin but the article (like others) mentions bitcoin and I want to keep record of that quote:

Obviously some of this has happened, but the dream of virtual currencies have either remained niche (such as Bitcoin) or crashed and burned (Beenz). But this could be about to change with Amazon’s launch of Coins, a new currency/loyalty scheme aimed at users of its Kindle Fire.
