+<p>With this weeks lawless
+<a href="http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/12/06/wikileaks/index.html">governmental
+attacks</a> on Wikileak and
+<a href="http://www.salon.com/technology/dan_gillmor/2010/12/06/war_on_speech">free
+speech</a>, it has become obvious that PayPal, visa and mastercard can
+not be trusted to handle money transactions.
+A blog post from
+<a href="http://webmink.com/2010/12/06/now-accepting-bitcoin/">Simon
+Phipps on bitcoin</a> reminded me about a project that a friend of
+mine mentioned earlier. I decided to follow Simon's example, and get
+involved with <a href="http://www.bitcoin.org/">BitCoin</a>. I got
+some help from my friend to get it all running, and he even handed me
+some bitcoins to get started. I even donated a few bitcoins to Simon
+for helping me remember BitCoin.</p>
+
+<p>So, what is bitcoins, you probably wonder? It is a digital
+crypto-currency, decentralised and handled using peer-to-peer
+networks. It allows anonymous transactions and prohibits central
+control over the transactions, making it impossible for governments
+and companies alike to block donations and other transactions. The
+source is free software, and while the key dependency wxWidgets 2.9
+for the graphical user interface is missing in Debian, the command
+line client builds just fine. Hopefully Jonas
+<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/578157">will get the package into
+Debian</a> soon.</p>
+
+<p>Bitcoins can be converted to other currencies, like USD and EUR.
+There are <a href="http://www.bitcoin.org/trade">companies accepting
+bitcoins</a> when selling services and goods, and there are even
+currency "stock" markets where the exchange rate is decided. There
+are not many users so far, but the concept seems promising. If you
+want to get started and lack a friend without any bitcoins to spare,
+you can even get
+<a href="https://freebitcoins.appspot.com/">some for free</a> (0.05
+bitcoin at the time of writing). Use
+<a href="http://www.bitcoinwatch.com/">BitcoinWatch</a> to keep an eye
+on the current exchange rates.</p>
+
+<p>As an experiment, I have decided to set up bitcoind on one of my
+machines. If you want to support my activity, please send Bitcoin
+donations to the address
+<b>15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b</b>. Thank you!</p>

-<p>Jeg oppdaterte nettopp kartet med overvåkningskamera som
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Kart_over_overv__kningskamera_i_Norge.html">jeg
-startet</a> for ca. et og et halvt år siden, og nå er det 74 kamera på
-plass. I prosessen med å oppdatere kartet oppdaget jeg ved en
-tilfeldighet at webreferansen til registermeldingen hos Datatilsynet
-nå ikke lenger er gyldig (se
-<a href="http://hetti.datatilsynet.no/melding/report_view.pl?id=31062">tidligere
-melding</a>). Antar Datatilsynet fjerner utdaterte meldinger fra
-databasen. Konsekvensen blir at kameraoversikten i OSM må ha med
-søkekriteriene som ble brukt for å finne registermeldingen
-(dvs. virksomhetsnavn og organisasjonsnummer), slik at eventuelt nye
-meldinger for samme kamera kan finnes igjen.</p>
-
-<p>Det er dukket opp kamera på
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.no/pere/surveillance-norway/">kartet</a>
-i Bergensområdet, Stavangerområdet, Osloområdet, Gjøvikområdet og i
-Troms. Mange områder og kamera mangler, og jeg er overbevist om at
-bare en brøkdel av den enorme mengden kamera som nå finnes i det
-offentlige rom er registrert så langt. Instrukser for å legge inn
-kamera finnes på websiden for kartet hos
-<a href="http://personvern.no/wiki/index.php/Kameraovervåkning">personvernforeningen</a>.</p>
