it'd be pretty funny to find somebody who is the perfect mix of encyclopedia brown amateur crime solving dork and bitcoin dork, and spin them up to believe that they could be the FBI's first Bitcoin Special Agent, if they would only send the FBI a nice letter detailing their skills and interest

i would bet money that several, if not many, of those letters have already been sent

he didn't say successful. i think he'd qualify as being right as long as they mass produce it, which will probably happen within the next 7 years. u can already get dev kits

i think spacex uses oculus to display 3d components to their designers so that they can visualize how stuff will fit together. it didn't sound like they could actually design while in the oculus though.

Still, undercover officers with the U.S. Secret Service and Miami Beach police told both clearly that they wanted to buy bitcoins with cash supposedly generated by the hacking of Target customer information. The undercover officers said during the secretly videotaped meetings that they planned to use the bitcoins to acquire still more stolen credit cards.

Attorneys for Reid and Espinoza, both of whom have pleaded not guilty, say they will challenge the very legal foundations of the cases, which are being prosecuted separately. The arrest affidavits for both Reid and Espinoza refer to bitcoins as "electronic currency with no central authority."

"My client has never dealt in the area of stolen credit cards," said Espinoza's attorney, Rene Palomino Jr. "My client was simply selling a piece of personal property, which is what a bitcoin is. It has not been recognized as currency yet in the United States."

is it actually banned or is it just in some kind of grey area? I thought the deadline for exchanges/the banks to close bitcoin related accounts was April 3
