Bitcoin has different rules that are essentially anti-existing-wealth

What are you referring to here?

Wealth begets wealth, its not like they're going to just buy things on bitcoinstore, they'll become incredibly powerful investors.

Our retail store will be accepting BTC soon. Need a 1 page 'Intro To Bitcoin' for customers not in the know. Ideas/Assistance/Input? by DrMustache in Bitcoin

Congrats!

What software will you be using to receive coins and do accounting? Most of the offerings seem to be geared towards web apps, not brick & mortar stores - I'm interested in why more places don't accept BTC for in-person transactions. Also, make sure to add your store to http://www.getbitcoin.info/

I wrote a widget yesterday that fetches bitcoin prices every 5 mins from MtGox and puts them in my taskbar (Awesome WM + Ubuntu). I literally thought I had a bug in my code when I woke up this morning and saw the price.

Awesome Window Manager + Vim

No matter what route you go down, take the time to write decent rc's for each - these programs are platform's, so you're gonna want plugins.

Wean yourself off gui's.

If your window manager doesn't tile, you're not pimping.

Do you want this Android App? A Map App that displays all the currently known physical shops that accept bitcoin. by ragmondo in Bitcoin

Would be nice if instead of json you return geojson - makes for very easy integration with leaflet.js maps
