Bitcoins in the Mainstream Media

Interesting article from the New Yorker.

I'm often asked what I think about bitcoins. I haven't analyzed the security, but what I have seen looks good. The real issues are economic and political, and I don't have the expertise to have an opinion on that.

BTW, here's a recent criticism of BitCoins.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Hard to believe he hasn't looked at it given he's talked about it a few times.

Yes, frankly that post reads like a crude misdirection.  For what reason, I don't know.

LOL, he's either Satoshi and misdirecting or he just hasn't been paid to check the code.
