There's an interview with me today (friday 2011.12.09) in the Norwegian business paper Dagens Næringsliv ("Business Today"), on page 24, about BitMinter.com and bitcoins in general. There's also a side article about Meze Grill. If you understand Norwegian you can buy a copy of today's paper at http://www.dn.no/avis/bestilling/dagens/eavis?execution=e1s1

This is a little late, but doesn't seem to have been reported here back in October. Just one mention in this document, and it's a strange one. What on earth do they mean by 'digital anonymous currency often double spent' ?? I hope this is just a mistake in the document and doesn't reflect the level of (mis)understanding that law enforcement types have about Bitcoin.

A mention of Bitcoin by Forbes blogger Andy Greenberg (as already posted by AgoraMutual above - oops!) A meta-article on this.. with a bit of a dig at bitcoin at the end(?). This Christmas, Forbes Magazine Suggests Bitcoin 2011-12-11 http://getoffmyinternets.net/2011/12/11/this-christmas-forbes-magazine-suggests-bitcoin/After promoting a five-month old Boycott of PayPal – the one that Regretsy and its members ignored — Greenberg closes with this gem: For those who want an alternative, check out WePay, Skrill, Ukash… or the decentralized crypto-currency Bitcoin. Ah, Skrill. Which prominently serves a list of the states in which it’s legal via a domain that doesn’t match its rebranded name. Or Ukash, whose most recent news entry (from six months ago) contains the phrase “DO NOT SEND UKASH.” Leaving Bitcoin which, like all decentralized peer-to-peer services, surely provides awesome customer service in a pinch.

Dwolla Will Unveil Paradigm Shift in Business on December 15th Kit Dotson 2011-12-12 http://siliconangle.com/blog/2011/12/12/dwolla-will-unveil-paradigm-shift-in-business-on-december-15th/For some time now, Dwolla has been hinting at an instant-transaction mechanics within their finance network. In March 2011, many thought that the service would be brining that with instant ACH bank-to-bank transfers with FiSync. If the payment network company does come out with instant-transfer finance mechanisms it will bring about a revolution of rapid-liquidity for Bitcoin transactions.

It seems the above article stems from an earlier piece Czech Position did on Rick Falkvinge, which includes the recent video of him at the Hard Rock Cafe (during the 2011 European bitcoin conference) (sorry once again for the google-translated titles - Czech bitcoiners - please beat me to it next time!)

I guess country by country we'll eventually see these 'silk road' drug articles rehashed for the locals... Kiwis use secret internet ‘supermarket’ to get drugs Callum Valentine 2011-12-14 http://www.newswire.co.nz/2011/12/silk/IT’S been described as the Amazon of acid and the E-bay of ecstasy– and it ships to New Zealand. ... Bruce discovered Silk Road through internet research about Bitcoin, a new digital crypto-currency which makes the drug-market’s supposed anonymity possible. ... Despite its draw-backs and unsecure future, where Bitcoin does succeed is its ability to allow seamless international transactions, and it has been hailed by libertarian supporters as a way to opt out of the traditional banking structure.

Last night there was an article on an Israeli Tv station Internet Magazine ( channel 10) about "darknet" Of course there was a short mention of bitcoin as a way to pay for "stuff" ( drugs/sex/human organs). They even showed Meni's Bitcoin exchange.
I could put a link to the video but its in hebrew....
