There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Not to be confused with Funding Circle, which scored 37MM, and is also lead by Accel Partners. 

Anyway, I hope they make an actual exchange and not just a fullfiller like coinbase.

The third generation is indeed staking their claims.

They either paid a pretty penny for the domain name, as claimed, or somebody originally attached to said domain is a silent partner: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1017906/000092838501000794/0000928385-01-000794-0001.txt
