This is such a lame patent, I would be surprised if it ever stood up in court.

Bitcoin combines money, the wrongest thing in the world, with software, the easiest thing in the world to get wrong.

It would never hold up in court. World of  warcraft was released 2004, if I´m right you could by things for credit in that game.

Bitcoins, Back from the Crash, Still Aren't as Good as Cash

From the article:

"Back in August, I wrote that BitCoin, the peer-to-peer currency, was, among other things, a scam."
...

This was a great laugh, the guy has no clue.
Some people so sure about things, they dont even bother to understand things...

Thousands of these copper art rounds will be sold at coin fairs etc. across the US , hopefully leading to a little extra publicity for bitcoin along the way  Grin

MasterCard and Banking Partners Force Paxum to Drop Bitcoin Due to ‘Potential Risk’

My favorite excerpt:
" 'and on Friday our banking partners ended the discussions with us and stated that it was too much of a potential risk to continue doing business with Bitcoin and Bitcoin Exchangers and instructed us to close all Bitcoin-related accounts,' Ms. Blair wrote on Friday in the forum for adult site webmasters, GoFuckYourself."

From AVN: Paxum Ends Association with Bitcoin Exchanges by Tom Hymes (well-written)

"The virtual currency's volatility and uncertainty are the stated reasons why Paxum’s banking partners demanded the cessation of any association with Bitcoin."

Just a quick shout out:

Metal, code, flesh: Why we need a 'Rights of the Internet' declaration
www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2012/02/201228715322807.html

Quote
Thinking of the web in terms of machinic life is important in practice for three powerful reasons: First, it guides us through the building of political models that encompass the human and the non-human, a politics for radical yet peaceful diversity needed now more than ever. Second, it unveils the ethical dimensions beneath seemingly neutral issues, allowing stronger defence for issues such as sharing and peer-to-peer practices that depend on healthy protocols and healthy hardware. Third, it is an approach that operates at any scale, allowing us to have nuanced and yet consistent positions regardless of whether we are debating the microscopic labyrinths of a computer chip (metal), the intangible nature of the BitTorrent or Bitcoin protocols (code), or the global impact of WikiLeaks (flesh).
