The United Kingdom’s government is exploring using bitcoin, or some permutation of the blockchain technology that underpins it, to pay out and monitor taxpayer-funded research grants.

Matthew Hancock, the minister for the Cabinet Office and paymaster general, said today the cabinet had begun exploring ways to use blockchains in the government, with a particular interest in how it could be used in the disbursal of government research grants.

“Monitoring and controlling the use of grants is incredibly complex. A blockchain, accessible to all the parties involved, might be a better way of solving that problem,” Hancock said in a speech at Digital Catapult, a government-funded think tank. Hancock cited bitcoin as a successful example of “distributed ledgers,” another phrase for blockchains, being used to track currency.

The UK government is exploring using the blockchain technology that underpins the bitcoin currency to increase efficiency in the distribution of taypayers’ money such as grants, a minister said on Tuesday.

A blockchain works as a decentralised ledger that is verified and shared by a network of computers, and can be used to record data as well as to secure and validate an exchange of assets, such as currencies or commodities.

Banks and other financial institutions are increasingly investing in blockchain technology, reckoning it could cut their costs and make their operations faster and more transparent.

The cabinet office minister Matt Hancock said the government was examining how the technology could be used to manage and keep track of the distribution of public money, such as grants and student loans, saying it could “foster a new culture of trust”.

I can't view twitter. Does this mean the sender has identified themselves? Or is someone just asking them pre-emptively to refund the TX on the presumption (probably a safe one) that it's an error?

@Itsjoeco Someone seems to have accidentally paid 300BTC in fees. @BitClub_Network could refund, if the originator asks for help fixing this

@Itsjoeco Of course @BitClub_Network is under no obligation to do anything. Caveat emptor and all. But it's a great chance to do good.

Hey @BitClub_Network. Will you do the right thing? The entire community is watching. Your chance to demonstrate your principles

#1 there are no customers of bitcoin
#2 3 words "bitcoin core roadmap" on a common search engine (guess which) result in these results as the first two links

Calling the roadmap "hidden" is hilarious.

Say hello to the European Union’s first nationally licensed Bitcoin exchange.

Bitstamp, a Slovenian Bitcoin exchange now based in the United Kingdom, said on Monday that it had received a license from Luxembourg’s Ministry of Finance to operate as a payment institution. The regulatory approval extends beyond the country’s borders to the rest of the 28 EU member countries.

This is the first time that a Bitcoin exchange has achieved such official backing in Europe, Wired reports, citing Jean-Louis Schiltz, a lawyer in Luxembourg who helped Bitstamp win the approval. The licensing, which took nearly two years of regulatory scrutiny to realize, could present a clear path for gaining government endorsement to other Bitcoin exchanges.

Bitstamp has become the first bitcoin exchange to be granted a national license after Luxembourg classified the company as a fully regulated payment institution. The move lets Bitstamp operate across all 28 countries in the European Union.

Bitstamp, which has been operating since 2011, is the world's third-largest bitcoin exchange by volume of currency traded. The move by Luxembourg to grant the license will allow Bitstamp to operate in all EU member states due to the EU passport program, which lets financial institutions licensed in one country do business in the others. The move puts the bitcoin exchange on the same footing as traditional financial institutions for the first time in terms of security and consumer protection.

Bitstamp has also announced it will begin offering customers the ability to exchange bitcoins for euros and vice versa, a service that's available on only a handful of other exchanges. The process to obtain the license, which goes into effect July 1, took more than two years and involved the small country's financial regulator, the Luxembourg Financial Industry Supervisory Commission, and included security reviews in addition to an audit by Ernst & Young.

Fifteen months ago, hackers lifted more than $5 million from the bitcoin exchange operated by Bitstamp, a Slovenian company that aspired to push the digital currency across Western Europe. The hack wasn’t nearly as large or as devastating as the one that pilfered $460 million from Mt. Gox and sent the Japan-based exchange, then one of the world’s largest, spiraling into bankruptcy. But it was yet another black eye for bitcoin, the digital currency that holds so much promise as an alternative to fiat currencies but has never really broken into the mainstream.

In small ways, however, bitcoin is climbing back towards respectability. This morning, Bitstamp announced that it has received a license from the Luxembourg Ministry of Finance to operate as a payment institution, and according to the company, this license applies to the European Union as a whole. “With this,” says Dan Morehead, the chairman of Bitstamp and the CEO of Pantera Capital, a firm that specializes in investments related to bitcoin, “Bitstamp is able to do business in all 28 countries of the EU.”

But worst that might happen is someone asks me to take it down.

On the ten-year jail sentence proposal, the official summary notes: "Concerns were also raised about the proposed increase in maximum sentence, which was criticised for being the same or higher than other serious offences such as rape, some firearms offences, rioting and child cruelty."

Can you please check again?

is transaction fee only based on the size of the transaction?

Well, the best proof would be what the exchanges found as a legal proof for government. They demand a copy of the ID. Back and front. A picture of the person holding the ID beside his face. Then a utility bill as proof of address or so. Don't know if I forgot something.

She is Slovakian but that operation needs to take place in Czech Republic. Because it is in Czech Republic the health insurance doesnt want to pay. There will be other expenses as well but the operation it self cost 7000 euros (with 50% discount because of history of Czechoslovakia)

Guess I can't believe such stories anymore. Each day not a few of such messages are deleted on the forum. Simple tries to get some free coins. And till now everything you did could be easily done by a scammer that thought it through a bit more. A website, twitter, unique text, users coming in here and wanting to tip instantly... well as long as you are not able to provide real proof of the story and your identity... I doubt you will convince a real tipper. The reason is that this place is filled with so many scammers that it is quite unbelieveable.

...
If you have any other questions please ask

The cost totals to 7000Euros. Only this operation can save her life!

A Florida man was arrested on Thursday for participating in a bribery scheme aimed at supporting an illegal bitcoin exchange operated by his son and owned by an Israeli behind a series of hacking attacks on organizations such as J.P. Morgan Chase.

Michael Murgio, who serves on a school board in Palm Beach County, was charged in an indictment filed in federal court in Manhattan for participating in a scheme to pay bribes to let the bitcoin exchange’s operators gain control of a credit union.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested Murgio, 65, in Palm Beach on Thursday morning, a spokeswoman for Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said. His lawyer did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Valve is preparing to implement Bitcoin support on Steam, numerous reports today suggest. The digital currency is likely to be a payment option quite soon, too, if screenshots taken from Steam's private developer forums are accurate.

"We are excited to announce that Steam is going to start accepting payments via bitcoin," reads the announcement (via PCGamesN). "We’re using an external payment provider to process Bitcoin payments to help partners reach more customers on Steam.

"Bitcoin is becoming an increasingly popular online payment method in some countries, and we’re enabling a system that insulates partners from risk and volatility while still providing value to the end customer."

Steam will charge the user based on the current value of Bitcoin in their region – so it's not an exciting new way for Australians, for example, to bypass common region-specific cost increases. For developers and publishers, no action is required: they'll continue to set their prices according to whichever currency they prefer, and Steam's external payment provider will operate the currency conversion automatically.
