Please no comments about the articles here, and no links to the article itself, only to the new forum thread created for the article.

Amir's comment is pretty spot on ...  there's some pretty interesting situations coming up.

"The battle between pirates and the music or film industries is really nothing, it’s a warm-up.  When this technology matures, manufacturers, agriculture businesses, technology firms, any of this could be easily replicated by almost anyone, anywhere. That’s when we’ll see the real fight".

Bitcoin is used globally.  If what you fear happening occurs, it will be telegraphed well in advance.  It took FinCEN nearly 15 years since the first prepaid debit cards existed to do anything to try to curb their use as an anonymous cross-border money transfer tool (i.e., could take more than $10K out of the U.S. legally if value was on prepaid debit cards).  Nearly a decade passed after the was first identified as a very real problem to the regulators.

Being a member of the crowd I'ld love to help support this musician ... by purchasing her music.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any of her singles or albums on CoinDL though.  (hint, hint).

That was over a month ago now with that total.  Sometimes using a big round number like "2, 000 BTC worth over $10,000 USD" is something that can generate a  higher level of interest by prospective bidders.

In Ed McMahon's voice ...  "Tympani"!

For one, the delay is no good -- lotto players want to know, with as little delay as possible, if they've hit the jackpot.

Using a block hash means the result is one that has the poentital to be be manipulated.  If the miner with big bets on BitLotto finds a valid hash and then discards it because it doesn't also result in a winning lotto ticket, then the results are going to end up being different.  The result in that case was manipulated.

So instead by using Mega Millions numbers as data that then gets hashed then this risk of manipulation no longer exists.

Casascius physical bitcoins given away as swag?  Wow!  I wish I had been there!

I was trying to think of a way this would work as a poor-man's Instawallet to allow you to pass a Bitcoin more anonymously.  So instead of having to transfer a Bitcoin wallet's private key to relay funds, you get this URL whose contents will include the Bitcioin wallet's private key.

Like this:
 - Create a paper wallet and copy the private key (e.g., using http://www.bitaddress.org )
 - Fund it
 - Paste the private key into an AnonPaste.tk
 - Send (encrypts and sends to server)
 - Copy the URL

Pass the URL securely

 - Paste the URL (retrieves from server and decrypts)
 - Copy the private key.
 - Import the key (e.g., into My Wallet from http://BlockChain.info/wallet and create a spend transaction that secures the funds.)

This doesn't really have much benefit over just passing the private key itself has (except maybe for the options like having the message destroyed after 10 minutes) but let's say you wanted to include instructions in the message or otther details this way you can include the bitcoin funds within your message paste.

And the URL to give it a spin:
 - http://anonpaste.tk

which contains a donate link for:
 - http://www.peoplesliberationfront.net/bitcoin.html
