this is good news.
i apologize to Matthew Dyson of http://textcoin.co.uk/ for hijacking his thread over here but this development is of utmost importance to the community and i felt compelled to bring it over here to the most popular Board just to alert everyone.
see his thread over in Marketplace: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=29992.0;all
you can now transact Bitcoin via SMS text which now brings Bitcoin to the average cellphone user that doesn't have an internet connection. currently this is only available in the UK but Matthew plans to take it internationally.
this is the M Pesa model in Kenya which has exhibited huge growth in a poor 3rd world country and has been growing by leaps and bounds throughout Africa. this working model has been the basis behind my investment research that has driven me to invest in Bitcoin.
the implications of this development cannot be underestimated.
Congratulations to Textcoin!!!
