Not what I would expect from Forbes. "Therebs a lot of talk about dongles recently. Square has always relied on a dongle and now PayPal is sporting a fancy triangle-shaped dongle, nicknamed the bBlue Doritob. Both of these dongles equip your mobile phone to accept and process credit cards securely by inserting the device into the smartphonebs 3.5mm audio input jack. Apparently, this passes for financial innovation in mobile payments but I file it under the bnot-disruptive-enoughb category. Truly-disruptive financial innovation is already here with decentralized bitcoin. And, bitcoin doesnbt need a dongle!" http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2012/03/24/bitcoin-doesnt-need-a-dong... P.S. If you're not using https://Blekko.com for finding the latest tech-oriented news, try it. I entered "bitcoin /date" to get the latest news on bitcoin and the results contained no spam or linkspam sites. _______________________________________________ Pigdog mailing list Pigdog@lists.pigdog.org http://lists.pigdog.org/listinfo.cgi/pigdog-pigdog.org ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
