In attracting such a high-profile audience, including Bank of Israel governor Professor Stanley Fischer, at today’s Israel Business Conference, it is clear that Israel embraces the virtual currency and provides industry leaders with the basis in which to freely discuss it without any detriment to the existing financial system.

Following fiatleak.com for a while now, I noticed that Israel is one of the countries buying the fewest BTC of all. Maybe this is about to change soon?

I hope this isn't OT, but I notice fiatleak wants to run a script accessing 69.94.230.87 - Anyone know what that's about?

Somebody sitting on a Texas ISP:

http://who.is/whois/h87-230-94-69.adstx.net <-- Your IP resolves to this hostname. Not sure why it is pointing to a local customer, though.

Thanks for that. I'm still not sure what to do. Fiatleak seems like an interesting site to follow, but I'm wary of anything with such a mysterious script link. If I understand the info I'm getting from NoScript, Fiatleak will link to Gox to get its trading info, but before it does that it wants to access 69.94.230.87
