I have not heard anything about at spot. But, regular guests are not ready for it.

Maybe it's about time I get around to setting up a miner...

I bought a record with Bitcoin because it was the only way you could get the blue one. Still not sure exactly how I did it.

Not as exciting as Bitcoin, but this is what is currently being worked on for several Target stores to being piloting...

Oh gosh...

 

[Deli Ninja]

Oh HELL no. If deli stuff is included in that, count me out! No way in hell I'm stopping to slice meat and cheese for a guest who isn't even in the store. I have enough problems with guests who order one thing and promptly wander off.

Is this Target's half-assed response to Peapod

Yep, curious to see if it works or crashes and burns like so many of their other half-asses responses.

Sounds just like a way to buy gift cards using bitcoin, pretty sure this is not Target actually accepting bitcoins, seems interesting though.

I wouldn't suggest it unless you have free electricity, then maybe, but still even with dedicated mining hardware (your CPU/GPU are no longer fast enough for this) you're going to be very hard pressed to earn back the cost of the hardware now.

I mined Litecoins a few years back using my GPU when I wasn't gaming on my PC, made about $100, but quit after the difficulty increased so high and the price tanked I couldn't even pay for electricity with the profits.

People already sorta use bitcoin at target. You can use bitcoin to buy target gift cards through gyft.

From what I remember about instacart, it's third party (not a target thing), and it's like paying someone to go to the store for you but in app form

Gyft is a fantastic app. If only they'd allow person to person sales like some other apps.

Instacart is being tested at spot.
