Bitcoin is still in the days of early adoption. This means a lot of research is needed to find Bitcoin-friendly venues for smooth travel. During our trip, places that accept Bitcoin directly were rare, so we supplemented with gift card services such as Gyft and E-Gifter.

Cryptolocker is a virus that scans your computer and holds your files “ransom” in exchange for a payment that has to be made using Bitcoin.

http://www.coindesk.com/bitpay-open-source-multi-signature-bitcoin-wallet/

Bitcoin payments processor BitPay has released the beta version of an open-source, multi-signature wallet service called Copay.

Copay aims to provide a solution to a central security issue posed by the use of a private key – that bitcoins can become compromised and stolen if someone fraudulently gains access to it. The issue has brought a lot of attention to multisig technology, with several notable companies in the ecosystem developing and releasing multisig wallets in recent months.
