  34 <p>With this weeks lawless
  35 <a href="http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/12/06/wikileaks/index.html">governmental
  36 attacks</a> on Wikileak and
  37 <a href="http://www.salon.com/technology/dan_gillmor/2010/12/06/war_on_speech">free
  38 speech</a>, it has become obvious that PayPal, visa and mastercard can
  39 not be trusted to handle money transactions.
  40 A blog post from
  41 <a href="http://webmink.com/2010/12/06/now-accepting-bitcoin/">Simon
  42 Phipps on bitcoin</a> reminded me about a project that a friend of
  43 mine mentioned earlier.  I decided to follow Simon's example, and get
  44 involved with <a href="http://www.bitcoin.org/">BitCoin</a>.  I got
  45 some help from my friend to get it all running, and he even handed me
  46 some bitcoins to get started.  I even donated a few bitcoins to Simon
  47 for helping me remember BitCoin.</p>
  48
  49 <p>So, what is bitcoins, you probably wonder?  It is a digital
  50 crypto-currency, decentralised and handled using peer-to-peer
  51 networks.  It allows anonymous transactions and prohibits central
  52 control over the transactions, making it impossible for governments
  53 and companies alike to block donations and other transactions.  The
  54 source is free software, and while the key dependency wxWidgets 2.9
  55 for the graphical user interface is missing in Debian, the command
  56 line client builds just fine.  Hopefully Jonas
  57 <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/578157">will get the package into
  58 Debian</a> soon.</p>
  59
  60 <p>Bitcoins can be converted to other currencies, like USD and EUR.
  61 There are <a href="http://www.bitcoin.org/trade">companies accepting
  62 bitcoins</a> when selling services and goods, and there are even
  63 currency "stock" markets where the exchange rate is decided.  There
  64 are not many users so far, but the concept seems promising.  If you
  65 want to get started and lack a friend with any bitcoins to spare,
  66 you can even get
  67 <a href="https://freebitcoins.appspot.com/">some for free</a> (0.05
  68 bitcoin at the time of writing).  Use
  69 <a href="http://www.bitcoinwatch.com/">BitcoinWatch</a> to keep an eye
  70 on the current exchange rates.</p>
  71
  72 <p>As an experiment, I have decided to set up bitcoind on one of my
  73 machines.  If you want to support my activity, please send Bitcoin
  74 donations to the address
  75 <b>15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b</b>.  Thank you!</p>
