yesterday i read this article (http://www.coindesk.com/groceries-bitcoin-egifter-walmart/) claiming that i could now buy groceries from walmart with bitcoin and so i decided to try it for myself.

Well I just got back from walmart, and i have to say the experience couldn't have been more positive. Everything worked perfectly and instantly, no waiting around during any stage of the process. The website was clean, easy to navigate and doesn't involve any sign up process if you already have a face-book or google account (this is a big selling point to me, i hate filling out forms). There were no fees either, just direct bit-stamp rate to usd conversion.

Idk what else to say other than it was a real pleasure, the whole process is so fast and painless you can do it while waiting in the checkout line. For miners or people who take payment in bitcoin, i highly recommend using this service instead of liquidating your holdings. this really does make bitcoins functionally almost as liquid as cash.

If one can not confer upon another a right which he does not himself first possess, by what means does the state derive the right to engage in behaviors from which the public is prohibited?

Pretty slick, I see they have cards on there for Hyatt etc.  Might be worth trying.  I live outside of the US but am curious to see if the cards for such international companies would work over here if bought on egifter.

please let me know how that turns out
