This is rather interesting. This news almost makes it seem that the confidence of the bitcoin currency is tied to a software developer when this digital currency is touted to be independent of any central authority.

Technical bitcoin news source

I would like to know the best websites for news regarding bitcoin. I regularly view Coindesk however I've noticed that it covers matters in a rather non-technical way. Are there any news sites or blogs that describe current bitcoin news in more technical terms?

I'm struggling to see what the advantage of an automated process is as opposed to converting the fiat currency yourself? You could perform this conversion yourself without inducing any extra processing fees and also control the exchange rate on your own terms.

$2,500 for a Walther PPK/S .380 calibre pistol and a silencer! The guy didn't know how to shop, you can get a decent gun for way less.

The sale was made in Australia which virtually has a complete gun ban. It takes 6 months of a sport shooting club membership to be eligible to purchase a handgun that will be strictly used for sport shooting.

What's new? An industry leader colludes with government to legislate increased barriers of entry. And this is all to protect the consumer?

Can you guys explain to me a standard "protocol" for a physical meetup. As in, do you pay in cash? Do you offer the cash first and then undergo the Bitcoin transaction? Basically how do you actually go about the exchange?

So there appears to be a scale between anonymity and security. There is Coinbase on the one hand with high security and then physical meetups with high anonymity.

What are the pros and cons of buying bitcoins in person in a physical meet up as opposed to using an exchange.

Pro -> Anonymity. Well you have to show your face, but not your POR and bank account details.
Con -> Robbery risk. It happend in the past and it will happen again. If you meet with someone in person you might get lured into a trap, hit on the head and have your money and/or coins stolen.

An exchange might rob you as well, but at least you dont get hit on the head.

This has always confused me. If you buy coins from an exchange, won't the exchange link your Bitcoin address with your ID and therefore track every transaction thereafter? In effect, can't exchanges completely de-anonymise transactions if it starts from them?
