Hi, first post here after one year. I am persuaded that the BTC economy will really take off when we can go to the pub and buy a beer in BTC. In the meantime a _very fast and easy to use_ system to exchange BTC for cash would be useful. Perhaps based on NFC in phones? I am sure something like this must exist, please post links.


If you want to do a trade, you can use the service of a Local Bitcoin trader:

 - http://www.LocalBitcoin.com

One method possible with this servcie is that the seller (person paying with bitcoins, and receiving cash) can release the bitcoins using SMS, after having secured the cash in hand.

There are a number of cash-out methods:

And there is NFC-enabled mobile apps for Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Spinner for Android is one:

You can also use QR code.  There are a number of mobile apps that do that:
