Tim Draper transferring his Bitcoin address to the U.S. Marshal — Beware the Robot-in-the-middle Attack (he’s right there in the background!)

Tim Draper and the team from Vaurum transferring the bitcoin address to the U.S. Marshal. I brought my son along for a second opinion on the security protocol.

And it became a surreal moment when Kyle from the U.S. Marshals Service had to hang up his Blackberry to receive the email containing the receiving BTC address. I made two errors transcribing it when he read it back =)

The news just came out: “Tim Draper Is Sole Winner of U.S. Bitcoin Auction” — WSJ and NYT.

Because the US Marshall wants to control the currency in each of the 6 Draper-fornias?

6 Californias, $30 million in Bitcoin, all electric cars. And always in a suit. Rebel marauder in disguise! 😉

Whoa, that BTC purchase just became worth $1B.

And looking at this again, I see that I brought my first bitcoin too, the coin on the notebook at the bottom:
