Wikileaks suspends publishing due to lack of funding

Word is, the US (and other authorities, I suppose) have succeeded in forcing Wikileaks to halt publication of leaked documents by getting payment processors to block funds donated to them.

They do take Bitcoin. This isn't news, but maybe their financial troubles are.

Selling out to advertisers shows you respect neither yourself nor the rest of us.

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Hopefully this will build some incentive for people to start buying Bitcoins.
