NYT is pretty big.  The article is not too bad, though still saying it's mostly for gambling and drugs.

The article links to some talk last week in okinawa here (http://fc13.ifca.ai/accepted.html), which has some paper's I, and I think many here would be interested in reading if they're available.

The Internet was great for gambling and drugs as well, .......... in 1994.

So far, excluding investors and day traders, the main use of the currency appears to be illicit activity
