Gyft allows you to buy digital gift cards with Bitcoins... such as a Burger King's digital gift cards. You can apparently go in an pay for a meal with your cell phone. Anyone tried this yet?

I find it pretty amazing to see how far Bitcoin has come. People had barely heard about it months ago and now it's almost mainstream!

It's not a technical reason preventing worldwide adoption. It's a business thing.
If this post was useful, interesting or entertaining, then you've misunderstood.

I thought Gyft was an awesome concept until I saw you had to be on facebook, google+ or twitter...requiring people to use social networking for a service sucks...sadly means I wont be using it. It will be good for the many people that do use those though.

How do you actually pay for your burger? Do you present a QR code on your phone to the cashier or something?

Gyft has really made Bitcoins easier to spend on everyday items, not just on the silkroad Tongue
