We should start a "Bitcoin already did it" meme a la "Simpsons already did it" - I personally would have phrased the idea "You can use MintChip to buy the other digital currency you're ripping off" but then perhaps I'm a bit militant when it comes to pseudo-plagiarism

I voted

Voted.

In addition, if Canadians really want to buy their morning cup of coffee with digital currency, I may just have to open up my first physical BitBrew Cafe in Toronto.

Sorry for the bump but I just received the following e-mail from challengepost.com that reminds us that we still have a few months to go untill they chose a winner. Hope bitcoin wins  

2 months to go!

Just finished going to vote for the "buy bitcoins" idea again before coming to this forum...

[REF]

voted 137. buying bitcoins has a strong lead.

voted 137. buying bitcoins has a strong lead.

It was that when I voted.  Maybe you can vote all you want... they just don't record more than one vote per person.

[unclemantis]

done

[niko]

I haven't cast the vote yet. It's sure tempting to promote Bitcoin through this challenge, but then again Bitcoin already does everything MintChip might be doing, and much more. Oh, whatever. Let them be. I decided. Going to vote.

[unclemantis]

They had a limited amount of developer kits available and they all got taken within a matter of hours.

I emailed them stating who I was, my experience and if they could consider sending me one.

Their reply was that they could not let me in since all the devices where given out.

BULLSHIT. You telling me they don't have spares?

Well anyways it kills me to think what percentage of those kits are NOT BEING USED FOR DEVELOPMENT and are just sitting around as a collector's item to be sold on ebay one day.

PISSES ME OFF.

They want developers but they are pushing me way.

I don't see Bitcoin pushing me away!

PS. If anyone here has a developers kit for MintChip and they are not using it or have given up on the challenge I will gladly take it off your hands. I will pay for shipping but nothing else.

PM me if you are interested. Thank you!
