Sorry to interrupt the bitcoin talk, but here's something even more interesting:

Wow, Bernanke is one dead motherfucker!

Meet The 'Assassination Market' Creator Who's Crowdfunding Murder With Bitcoins - Forbes

On ZH too:

"Dark Web" Exposes $75,000 Bitcoin-Based Bounty For Bernanke's Assassination | Zero Hedge


Cliffs:

$75,000+ worth of bitcoins have been raised on a dark web crowdfunding assassination market for various public figures, including Obomba and Helicopter Ben. (WHY BEN? Yellen's got the job dumbasses!)

These sites are just like crowdfunder, but they basically aim to shape our world by taking the most hated people out of it.

Although this literally is cryptoanarchy as the original cypherpunks envisioned it, as a follower of the NAP I do not endorse this behavior. It will certainly be fun to watch, however, and may end up making some public figures behave themselves in the long term. (!)

As the price of bitcoin goes up, somebody is certainly going to want to claim these bounties. I wonder if the owner's restitution system is trustless and smooth enough for a real assassin to want to use?
