I just read a dualogy by Daniel Suarez that might be of interest to some of you. Basically a highly sophisticated botnet takes over the world and turns it into sort of a living MMOG. Members of the darknet use a digital currency that quickly outpaces the dollar and interact with each other (and various aspects of the world at large) using augmented reality displays in their glasses. I found some of the concepts interesting, so I thought some of you might want to check it out. It gets pretty graphic, so consider yourself warned. The first book is titled Daemon, the second is Freedom (tm).
In honor of the BTC reaching the $0.10 mark on mtgox, I'm offering a single $10 USD iTunes card for 100BTC to whoever hits me up for it first. I got it in a raffle and I don't use iTunes so it's just been lying around in my car. I've attached a (very blurry) picture for proof it exists. Send me a private message if you're interested and I'll send you a unique address to send payment. I'll scratch it off and send you the code once payment is received.
