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.

On The Anniversary Of Cutting Off WikiLeaks, PayPal Slaps Christmas Charity Project

2011-12-06

http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2011/12/06/on-the-anniversary-of-cutting-off-wikileaks-paypal-slaps-christmas-charity/

"Its little wonder members of the hacker group Anonymous and others have called for PayPals boycott. For those who want an alternative, check out WePay, Skrill, Ukash, Dwolla, Amazon Payments, Google Checkout, or the decentralized crypto-currency Bitcoin."

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 its legal via a domain that doesnt 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!)

Quote

Dad Pirates: The Internet Inter boss music industry, banks and false policy
With the end mediators, said in an exclusive interview with the founder of the Swedish Pirate Party Rickard Falkvinge.

CZECH POSITION: Yes. But before we get on this topic, tell why you came to Prague.
Falkvinge: Is there a European conference Bitcoin , which aims to build a decentralized network, where it will be possible to carry out financial transactions and verify the new digital currency. The advent of the Internet means that the already mentioned mediators lose their power. In this case the bank. In the next ten to fifteen years, the banking industry collapse, just as is now crumbling record industry. Bitcoin technology has huge potential to change the future.

Kiwis use secret internet supermarket to get drugs

Callum Valentine
2011-12-14

http://www.newswire.co.nz/2011/12/silk/

ITS 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-markets 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....

"We are just fools. We insanely believe that we can replace one politician with another and something will really change. The ONLY possible way to achieve change is to change the very system of how government functions. Until we are prepared to do that, suck it up for your future belongs to the madness and corruption of politicians."

GOOD AS GOLD? PRIVATE MONEY IS BETTER

David Barker Ph.D
2011-12-13

http://www.thecypresstimes.com/article/News/Opinion_Editorial/GOOD_AS_GOLD_PRIVATE_MONEY_IS_BETTER/53906

Nobel Prize winning economist Fredrick Hayek advocated privatization of the money supply as early as 1978. Barry Eichengreen, a respected, mainstream scholar of international finance recently wrote that maybe the Tea Party should look for monetary salvation not to the gold standard but to private monies like Bitcoin.
