My local rock gym accepts bitcoin!
I went to my local rock climbing gym and saw a sticker on the door saying “Bitcoin accepted here.” I asked the guy behind the counter if I could pay with it, and he brought up a QR code on his monitor. I scanned it with my Android wallet and the amount came up automatically. I hit send and it went through almost instantly.
They can get away with 0 confirmations because people are usually there between 1 and 2 hours. If anything goes wrong or a double spend happens, the person will still be in the building.
It was faster than I thought it would be and not a hassle at all. I hope more businesses starts accepting bitcoin.
However, one thing I thought about is synchronizing to the blockchain. What if someone hasn't opened their wallet in a while and has a week, or even a months worth of synchronization to catch up on? It will take a few minutes for the person to be able to spend their coins, which is not ideal for a situation where people are waiting in line to check out. Is there a possibility of having light wallets on mobile devices?
Edit: The gym is Vertical Dreams in New Hampshire, USA. http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/granitegeek/994651-468/you-can-buy-a-rock-climbing-session-with.html

I have been getting a steady Payout of 0.25 BTC from an Unknown person for months …
I've been getting a payout to my bitcoin address about every three weeks of about 0.25 btc. I have no idea where it is coming from. Anyone have an idea where this is coming from or how i would find out?
EDIT I have decided not to post the address for security reasons. I have looked into this and have found one address that is also getting payouts and have tried to contact that person. I will report back when I get a response.
