Just read about a guy who bought $27 worth of bit coins in 2009 and forgot about them. Earlier this year he remembered he had them and they are not worth $886,000.

isnt it like an online black market currency that is pretty much untraceable?

heard you can mine for fragments of them online aswell but it involves crazy amounts of processing from a super computer

bitcoins hold a higher value than gold i remember reading

Near Leeds xx

we were recently in Berlin, and a couple of the bars were accepting them as currency. Not sure how that works, but maybe it's catching on in the real world. Hope so, it would mean the end of government/bank controlled currency value viva le revolution!!!

ONE of the world’s largest bitcoin exchanges is offline following reports of the theft of hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of the crypto-currency.

The Tokyo-based Mt. Gox website is currently unavailable, and all previous posts on the exchange’s social media channels have been removed.

A leaked document from the exchange indicates that around 740,000 bitcoins - worth around $350 million (£210m) - are missing, presumed stolen.

Mt Gox disabled the ability to withdraw coins from the exchange earlier this month, and on Sunday Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpeles resigned from industry umbrella group The Bitcoin Foundation.

Say hello to the new currency of the Kingdom of Scotland.

I wonder if Mr S has considered this?

Stealing them is one thing, spending them is another. They know exactly which ones have been stolen so they are very traceable.

They are very volatile as far as currency goes, they have halved in value since the exchange company shut down its exchange.

I read a bit about mining them, your processing power is used to check certain files for accuracy, if you find a dodgy one you are rewarded. You could end up spending more on electric than you would be rewarded.

Yes indeed. Along with ginger bottles and empty jam jars.
