hadn't heard of the BIPS attack... can you elaborate?
http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-payment-processor-bips-attacked-1m-stolen/-this was the BIPS news story on that day
-the intersting I find is the way US and China seemed to get involved at the same time and then go in complete opposite directions in accepting btc. Maybe Im reading into too much but it seems there is a lot of politics going on in the background that we will never hear about.
