High-tech Sweden edges closer to becoming cashless society

http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/high-tech-sweden-edges-closer-to-becoming-cashless-society/2012/03/17/gIQANtd2HS_story.html

STOCKHOLM — Sweden was the first European country to introduce bank notes in 1661. Now it’s come farther than most on the path toward getting rid of them.

“I can’t see why we should be printing bank notes at all anymore,” says Bjoern Ulvaeus, former member of 1970’s pop group ABBA, and a vocal proponent for a world without cash.

The contours of such a society are starting to take shape in this high-tech nation, frustrating those who prefer coins and bills over digital money.

In most Swedish cities, public buses don’t accept cash; tickets are prepaid or purchased with a cell phone text message. A small but growing number of businesses only take cards, and some bank offices — which make money on electronic transactions — have stopped handling cash altogether.

It was only a matter of time before Bitcoin, the anonymous online payment currency, was used to pay for sex. A subreddit popped up at the beginning of April called "Girls Gone Bitcoin". The premise is that women post photos in various states of undress with their Bitcoin account address in the photo, and men can "tip" them to encourage more photos.

Spiking 9.4 shiiiiiiiit

[Cronos]

back down to 8.8. It's been going up pretty steadily all day. Probably partly because of Bitinstant since getting coins is now 1000 times easier then waiting for a Dwolla transer

We perform a comprehensive measurement analysis of Silk Road, an anonymous, international online marketplace that operates as a Tor hidden service and uses Bitcoin as its exchange currency. We gather and analyze data over eight months between the end of 2011 and 2012, including daily crawls of the marketplace for nearly six months in 2012. We obtain a detailed picture of the type of goods being sold on Silk Road, and of the revenues made both by sellers and Silk Road operators. Through examining over 24,400 separate items sold on the site, we show that Silk Road is overwhelmingly used as a market for controlled substances and narcotics. A relatively small "core" of about 60 sellers has been present throughout our measurement interval, while the majority of sellers leaves (or goes "underground") within a couple of weeks of their first appearance. We evaluate the total revenue made by all sellers to approximately USD 1.9 million per month; this corresponds to about USD 143,000 per month in commissions perceived by the Silk Road operators. We further show that the marketplace has been operating steadily, with daily sales and number of sellers overall increasing over the past few months. We discuss economic and policy implications of our analysis and results, including ethical considerations for future research in this area.

By far the best deal on Silk Road is methylone. If I had the balls I would be buying it in bulk and selling it 2 my friends.
