It doesn't really matter if China blocks bitcoin.org.  That will block discussion boards, not the client software (hosted at SF, and P2P all over the world).

They will understand it fast. but since it's not against the Party, I think it's OK for Mr. Fang.

Considering mining Bitcoins just means sitting out there doing nothing? Or maybe they're nuts enough to have the inmates hash SHA256 by hand xD

With a few hundred thousand prisoners, they could achieve quite a nice Khash/s number :)
