Bitinstant just made a great PR stunt, I'd love to see any acknowledgement from the romney camp or the obama camp, that would be amazing news.
The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

It was not clear already, that the bitcoins extortion is false? and that the part of bitcoins is a smart guy who used the original hack make money.

I was talking about a realistic scenario, where things are done behind closed curtains, if any. Several things about how the world of politics and power work make this very unlikely. It is fun to speculate about it though... (Well 1000 is the square root of 1000000 after all)

I should have known you'd bring that up... you'd agree this is a whole different level? Like the moon vs alpha centauri or something..  Smiley

We don't know if the hacker is genuine, but we (BitInstant) are sincere when we say we'll waive any commission to help Romney get some coins Smiley

Here's our forum post announcing this: http://blog.bitinstant.com/blog/2012/9/6/a-friendly-offer-for-mitt-romney.html
