+network. Immediatly after installation a school server running all
+services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users
+and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting
+environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of
+the main server from CD, DVD or USB stick all other machines can be
+installed via the network.</p>

+ <title>Bitcoin er ikke anonymt - føres Stortinget bak lyset av finansministeren?</title>

+ <description><p><a href="http://bitcoin.org/">Bitcoin</a> er mye i mediene for
+tiden. Jeg følger med via Mylder for å finne
+<a href="http://mylder.no/?drill=bitcoin">artikler som omtaler
+temaet</a>, og takket være dette oppdaget jeg at stortingsrepresentant
+Ketil Solvik-Olsen fra FrP nylig har spurt finansminister Sigbjørn
+Johnsen om hans syn på Bitcoin, og
+<a href="http://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Sporsmal/Skriftlige-sporsmal-og-svar/Skriftlig-sporsmal/?qid=57052">fått
+svar for noen dager siden</a>. Jeg bet meg spesielt merke til
+følgende formulering fra finansministeren:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote>
+«Det er også utfordringer ved at handel med Bitcoins er uregulert og
+at transaksjonene er anonyme.»
+</blockquote></p>
+
+<p>At Bitcoin er anonymt er en myte som spres av både journalister og
+andre, så det er ikke veldig overraskende at også finansministeren har
+gått på limpinnen. Det er dog litt rart, da jeg håper at
+finansdepartementet ikke baserer seg på rykter og myter når de
+besvarer Stortinget. Men du trenger ikke bare tro på meg som kilde
+til påstanden om at Bitcoin ikke er anonymt. Sondre Rønjom har
+<a href="http://blogg.nsm.stat.no/archives/3241">via Sikkerhetsbloggen
+hos Nasjonal Sikkerhetsmyndighet</a> uttalt følgende:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote>
+«At [bitcoin] i utgangspunktet
+<a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1107.4524"><em>ikke</em> er anonymt</a>,
+kommer kanskje som en overraskelse på mange.»
+</blockquote></p>
+
+<p>Enhver bevegelse av Bitcoin er offentlig tilgjengelig for alle på
+Internet, og en må legge svært mye innsats inn hvis en skal hindre at
+nettverksanalyse av transaksjonsloggene kan brukes til å identifisere
+brukerne. F.eks. kan en enkelt se hva jeg har mottatt til min
+offentliggjorte mottaksadresse ved å besøke blockexplorer og slå opp
+adressen
+<a href="http://blockexplorer.com/address/15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b">15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b</a>.
+Det virker dermed på meg ganske klart at å påstå at
+Bitcoin-transaksjoner er anonyme strengt tatt er å føre Stortinget bak
+lyset.</p>
+
+<p>Finansministeren er ikke den eneste som har latt seg forlede av
+medieomtalen. I spørsmålet fra Hr. Solvik-Olsen skriver han at «For
+noen dager siden kom den første bitcoin-minibanken på Kypros», hvilket
+så vidt jeg har klart å finne ut ikke er riktig. Det er annonsert
+planer om en slik minibank (fra
+<a href="http://www.bitcoinatm.com/">BitcoinATM</a>), men jeg finner
+intet tegn til at en slik minibank er utplassert noe sted.</p>
+
+<p>Som vanlig, hvis du bruker Bitcoin og ønsker å vise din støtte til
+mine aktiviteter, så setter jeg pris på Bitcoin-donasjoner til min
+adresse
+<b><a href="bitcoin:15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&label=PetterReinholdtsenBlog">15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b</a></b>.</p>
