Bitcoin Xbox mining

The lives of people attempting to live solely on bitcoin just got much easier, at least in the US. ‘Social’ gift card seller eGifter has started selling cards for retail behemoth Walmart.
eGifter began accepting bitcoin at the beginning of October 2013, and in doing so opened up a new universe of mainstream purchasing options. The company already sells gift cards for over 100 retail outlets in a wide range of categories, including well-known brands like Barnes & Noble, Land’s End, Home Depot and CVS Pharmacy.
Even among people who have never set foot in one of their stores, Walmart is famous for selling pretty much everything at discount prices. Perhaps most significantly, bitcoin users will now be able to pay for groceries and gasoline in their favorite currency.
Membership-based retail warehouse Sam’s Club (a Walmart subsidiary) also accepts Walmart gift cards as payment, increasing options even further.
Buying gift cards with bitcoin for yourself and others has been around for a short while already, after competitor Gyft partnered with BitPay in May 2013 to sell cards for a range of stores including clothing and fast food, as well as Amazon.
“The ability to purchase daily necessities with bitcoin has been something of a holy grail for digital currency enthusiasts”
Other indirect payment options include bitcoincodes.com, which exchanges bitcoin for access to various online services like XBox Live, Playstation Network, Nintendo and AirVPN. Australian residents can use local service Bitcoin Gift Cards to buy, among other things, fuel and home supplies.
The ability to purchase daily necessities with bitcoin has been something of a holy grail for digital currency enthusiasts, and a lack of such options is often used by cryptocurrency naysayers to claim bitcoin isn’t mainstream enough for mass acceptance.
eGifter users can send gift cards and vouchers for over 100 US-based brands to others attached to e-cards and video messages. The recipient can either print off the coupon number or barcode, or display it on a smartphone using eGifter’s iOS or Android apps.

Bitcoins
Hi Everyone,
I've been using Craigslist for a few years for selling everything from refurbished xbox's to car parts I no longer need, but this is my first post on the forums. I'm looking to see everyone's opinion on Bitcoin. What do you think about it, have you used it before?
I've started selling some Bitcoins I've made through mining the coins myself and also doing some day-trading of Bitcoin and some other crypto-currencies like Litecoin.
However I'm surprised that even after Bitcoin being thrust into the news a few months back with Cypress and Bitcoin itself jumping up to $260 per BTC(~$140 now), many people still haven't heard of it.
Interested in bartering the Radeon?
I am starting to try bitcoin mining with my home pc and it seems the graphics card you have will work well solving algorithims at a decent hash rate.
I have a xbox360 kinect system w games and drums , w/o XBOX Gold , to trade.
Anything else you can suggest would be helpful, as I know absolutely doodley-squat about gaming systems and don't have any money to pay someone who does.
