Who Wants to Gamble With Bitcoins on Facebook?

"The open-source virtual currency could be used as a gambling platform on the world's leading social network.
That is, assuming Crowdpark Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer Ingo Hinterding has his way."
"Earlier today, Crowdpark announced that it had received $6 million in new funding from Target Partners and Earlybird Venture Capital."

Interesting.. but I don't see how they'd get this past facebook's PR team let alone various government regulators.
So apparently crowdpark was founded in 2009 and their facebook product 'Bet Tycoon' has "around half a million monthly active users" (source: AppData.com)
They also intend to target Android & IOS.
I'm skeptical that they'll be able to use any form of virtual currency which is convertible to national currencies - but even if they don't manage to bring the bitcoin aspect to facebook - the fact that they're keen on bitcoin gives hope they may provide other platforms/games which use it.
EDIT: Actually - the quote from their founder just says "Personally, I would love to do that, I find the whole concept around Bitcoin [to be] very, very interesting".. that's not really an endorsement or statement of the business direction. I suspect it may be the benzinga writer is more the one who is most keen on bitcoin :/
One of the first times I've found slashdot commentary useful. I've taken a complaint and spun a thread to discuss a bitcoin as a unit of computational work.

How can this be a notable source. they dont even spell as well as I do.
It has a reasonable alexa rank, and the article is showing up at yahoo: http://news.yahoo.com/bitcoin-prices-plummeting-costs-more-mine-digital-currency-052042461.html
Notable doesn't equal 'quality' I guess, but I didn't see the spelling errors you're talking about.
Another one on the price drop.

apparently $2.31 is 'almost parity'... how to these journalists even get jobs?
Not to mention that the "cost of production" varies based on the hardware used and cost of electricity, there's not one static cost.

Not sure but think this was just published today.
It's a feature mainly about the conference in New York (when was that again, seems like an age).

There we go. If it wasn't already, today bitcoin is the laughing stock of the tech world.
Only because they are operating under the false premise that it was meant to have a stable exchange rate against the dollar.
Anyway, when was it anything other than a laughing stock or "omg u can get rich by mining!"?
