Hyperbolic title aside -- (I'm getting really tired of shitty mast lines in e-journalism... third web? Its a communications protocol riding over the web standard... not exactly rocket science)

This just summarizes how 21 is enabling a programmable way to integrate bitcoin payments with automated processes running on their machines. Honestly, you could do the same thing with perl and a linux box, but the big deal is their dedicated hardware they are shipping.

It remains to be seen how this ecosystem evolves, but at the moment it looks like a PR-News release monsoon without any practical output coming out of it just yet.

I haven't seen any mention of this on here, but maybe I ain't looking in the right places.

Screw buying your morning coffee, THIS is what bitcoin should be used for.
