Once again, here's Chicago Cabbie's Bitcoin address: 1ChiCab1Btgo74myUtDuA35RmzXWfgSfRM

I've colored it up a tad to resemble Flash Cab's logo:



Please note: I have yet to give this to Rashid, buy have sent a small amount to that address to make sure it works: http://blockchain.info/address/805c69f01b0e3e3c63d982bcf7f339ab938f42d2

Just moved to Chicago and I will definitely be hitting up Rashid when I need to go anywhere.

I have included you on the list here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/whos-coming-to-chicago-soon-58513 and mentioned your intention here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.743594

Thank you, anon5050, for your support.

Rassah was kind enough to hash out a vanity address for Chicago Cabbie: 1ChiCab1Btgo74myUtDuA35RmzXWfgSfRM

What do you think?

Remember, Rashid uses an iPhone oppose to an Android type phone. We need to make sure that any APPs suggested work on this platform. He also has an iPad.


Bruno!

Have Rashid scan this with his iPhone (open in Safari), and add it to his Home Screen.  It is a free iPhone app I made for him to accept bitcoins using Bit-Pay Mobile Checkout



The Mobile App will allow him to:

1.  Request an exact amount in 30+ currencies
2.  Receive instant on-screen alerts of payments received
3.  Send the bitcoins to his wallet of choice, or receive direct deposit to his US bank account

When he is ready to use it, just have him contact me and we can finish setting up his account preferences.

It's super easy for him to accept bitcoins, even if he's not ready to hold onto them yet with a wallet, etc.

I will also mail him a Deposit Card for free if he is interested.



I guarantee all of the bitcoiners will seek him out whenever we go to Chicago!


No way is this endeavor dead in the water. Martin just got time to tackle that hand tooled leather wallet (a true $150 USD value) I promised him for simply signing up to BitcoinTalk. Once completed, and I get back to Chicago, I will meet up with Rashid once again over a free dinner (once again) and will do exactly as you've outlined when I present to him his free gift. I'll make sure to post photos of the custom Flash Cab/Chicago Cabbie wallet once it's completed.

with the hope that someone on staff or another member helps accelerate this process. If the latter is the case, please PM the proper authorities.

I hit 'report to moderator'. That should get someones attention.  Tongue
It does, but... he was whitelisted for over an hour by the time you sent the report. Tongue In fact, I didn't even know about this thread until now. I had just processed the request that was put in the main queue...

Oh yea! Well answer me this, smart guy. Who's driving the short bus that we're all riding in?  Grin That is great Maged. I will let him know. I'm sure he's still sleeping now, fighting the flu, and probably still getting up in the morning to hit the road. That's one hell of a life, but I saw in his eyes that he loves what he does and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Here's hoping that Bitcoin will better his job of choice.

BTW, Martin, my brother-in-law, will be tooling a leather wallet for him. A gift I promised him just for joining BitcoinTalk. It'll be a custom job with the Bitcoin logo on one side, and the Flash Cab logo on the other. Inside will have his name. I just thought of something while typing that last sentence. Instead of his real name, I'm going to have Chicago Cabbie on that leather name plate. All with custom weaving around the outside of the wallet. A deluxe model valued at $150 USD. I already paid Martin ahead of time. I'll make sure the images are posted here before I send it to him. I'm still not sure if I creating commerce with Bitcoin or slowly going broke. Either way, I'm having the time of my life. Now who the hell is working on my cape?

I have an unused ikea shower curtain you may have! Smiley

I'll take it! I have a friend in Texas that can put it together for me.

I'm not sure who to specifically ask or PM, therefore opt to post my request here, with the hope that someone on staff or another member helps accelerate this process.

I just went to his twitter account and read that he's asking about Bitcoin. Time for those here with a Twitter account to chime in. I think he's a great guy. Check it out, all.

~Bruno~

EDIT: Looks like Rashid was provided a link to that taxi thread by @thomkaufmann.


i'm not sure how to use twitter  Tongue

We need a bitcoin HOTLINE!





This sounds like a great idea.  Volunteers donate to a fund, then we can create a skype account for bitcoin hotline... round the clock representatives (more volunteers) answering questions about bitcoins.
