Do you think the description of how bitcoins are 'mined' was accurate? That was the part that was understandable to me that I was confused about before so is that part on the right track?

According to that video the Bank of Canada is running their own virtual currency backed by other currency denominated assets. What would that be? Do you know? I think you're talking about a different video than I am. Could you clarify, please? edit: found it, I think: Message 28863155

According to that video the Bank of Canada is running their own virtual currency backed by other currency denominated assets. What would that be? Do you know? I looked. It's called MintChip. As the WSJ blog says, it's stalled.... mint.ca mint.ca mintchipchallenge.com blogs.wsj.com google.com Then, in the text article the author says that CBs could shut down virtual currencies with the stroke of a pen. They can't. The guy's operating from his FUD generator. Shut down the internet,maybe? How does say, FED, shut down Canada's CB virtual currency? It sends in the US Army. Non joke countries don't have to care about bitcoin-like currencies. Folk have to pay taxes in the local currency.
