It's noteworthy that although the frequency of security issues on exchanges has not subsided substantially, the amount of damage they cause has decreased considerably. The money lost on Stamp was orders of magnitude smaller than Gox and the exchange itself ate the cost. This Canadian exchange is also protecting its customers.

Bitcoin is growing up. Historians will see Mark Krapeles as the dishonest incompetent fucknut that he is and when prediction markets start turning into assassination markets, the first test target ought to be him.

When software developer Satoshi Nakamoto introduced bitcoin in 2008 as an alternative currency independent of a central authority, funding international terrorist organizations was certainly not part of the original concept. But according to Ido Wulkan, an intelligence analyst based in Tel Aviv and working for a Singapore-based cyber intelligence company, that is exactly what's happening.

Wulkan has uncovered evidence that the so-called Islamic State (ISIS, or ISIL) terrorist group, whose latest brutal execution of a Jordanian air force pilot outraged the world and incited reprisal attacks from Jordanian military, is using bitcoin to fund their terrorist activities. ISIS, reportedly, uses bitcoin to distribute payments to operatives working inside the terrorist organization, according to Wulkan, and accepts donations in bitcoin.

Interested in a betting exchange where bets get resolved by a majority vote and not by an authority? (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 16 minutes ago by MrTeutone

Would someone of you be interested in a Bitcoin betting exchange platform where the outcome of a bet is determined by a majority vote of the community? In existing simiar products bets get resolved by the host or by an admin/moderator. In order to test that voting concept I created a prototype with play money instead of Bitcoins as a side project. Furthermore I'm at a point where I'm unsure if it's worth to continue with my project and I'd like make that decision dependent on your feedback.
Happy to discuss!

I like to think it was one of their western recruits that got them on board with this "really guys, anonymous, no fees, there are even bitcoin ATMs" and now he just spends his days in front of the screen praying for the price to go back up and that their exchange doesn't get hacked.

They are likely just using bitcoin as a way to move money without having to go through banks and their antiterrorism regulations. Bitcoin will stop all war remember?
