So, Alice wants to send me one Bitcoin. I quickly go to instawallet, bookmark the site, send her the receiving address, and here, voila I receive my bitcoin.
So Bob wants to send me a bitcoin. As a miner I have my bitcoind running anyway, so I quickly type in "bitcoind getnewaddress" and send Bob the address. Sending Dave and Evelyn bitcoins is as easy as typing …
So Cindy sent me bitcoins to my mtGox account. I can now …
