This piece is by some idiot who thinks entries in the mtgox database constitute 'counterfeit' bitcoins.

Virtual Currency - The Dark Side
Brendan Burge
http://www.atmmarketplace.com/blog/6030/Virtual-Currency-The-Dark-Side

Quote

One of the most compelling reasons for supporting virtual currency is that it would appear to be impossible to counterfeit. Alas, this is not the case. In a recent news story it was revealed that BitCoin had indeed been "counterfeited," and the resulting drop in the value of the currency was extreme and immediate.

LulzSec, Anonymous Hackers Release Statement on Jake Davis Arrest

I find it interesting that they post the actual bitcoin donation addresses directly in this article. Is it normal for a mainstream media outlet to publish instructions on how to donate to someone who's been arrested.. or is it that the journalist wanted to emphasize the bitcoin association?
I can't imagine them publishing the bank account details of where to donate to someone's legal fund.. Would they normally even publish a donation URL?

There was an article on Bitcoin in c't, a bi-weekly German computer magazine (sold curculation about 350K) today. At 6 A4 pages it was a rather in-depth article, and I did not notice any factual errors.

Pakistan will possibly be unable to join the Bitcoin rallies.\

Many articles written in other languages have been a barrier to see what is going on.

Can anyone translate when they pop up?

In BitCoin there is no encryption involved. Only signatures. It may be the same field of research but there are no secrets transmitted in the blockchain so most likely those censorship laws don't apply to bitcoin.

Why the bitcoin is no substitute for credit cards
http://blog.instabill.com/index.php/2011/07/29/bitcoin-no-substitute-for-credit-cards

(
Instabill pimping themselves over bitcoin by pushing some tired old misinformation regarding the mtgox flash crash, as well as this FUD gem:

"Because bitcoins are computer-generated, it is possible to create counterfeit coins."

)

Can anyone explain to me why this guys pop up? They don't even know what a file is for the flying spaghetti monster sake.
