Has Bitcoin Finally Arrived?
A New Hampshire state representative recently added a donation option on his website to accept the digital currency.

Advocates of Bitcoin were surely elated to hear the virtual currency has gone mainstream -- at least a little. New Hampshire state Representative Mark Warden, a Republican, announced recently that his campaign is accepting Bitcoin donations.
...

In many ways, the increasing presence of Bitcoin scammers is even better proof of its potential mainstream acceptance than any politician's announcement.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Sure that's the one. It's pretty recent news really (past couple of weeks I think) - and it's common for there to be a slight delay for media and industry rags to pick the story up.
