Bitcoins

Starting tomorrow, two hotel/casinos in Las Vegas will allow customers to use Bitcoins for nongaming purposes. For food, shows, gifts, etc. Since they are unregulated, the exchange rate will be checked for each purchase. Sounds interesting.

Hi Found,

I've never been to Vegas - Just AC. How do you obtain these bitcoins?

I don't know LyndaG...I was trying to find out but it seems mysterious but when one finds a reputable seller, I guess they download them to their Ipad. Still looking.

You can actually generate them on a PC or Mac (faster with a Graphics card). Or you can buy them. There's ton's of info about it online. Also, they have specific hardware you can buy (bitcoin erupters) to do so using your USB port.

Wow, not one bit of that was funny. I need a drink.
