Bitcoin? A cruisers currency?

The Bitcoin concept has me interested! It seems that one could have multiple mining rigs setup on land making income for you while you were out and about cruising. The main problem would be the initial investment and the fact that bitcoin isn't accepted as a "standard" currency. I think the benefits of bitcoin would be great, especially for cruisers. It's a P2P currency so there is no need for a bank or middle man to make transactions.

I don't really see Bitcoin going anywhere, but it's an interesting concept. Have any of you geeky types looked into bitcoin at all?

Here's more info! Bitcoin P2P Virtual Currency
