Quick follow up re Coinjar rewards points, if anyone is considering using their service: You earn 500 CoinJar Rewards points per every Bitcoin traded, so if you trade 0.5 BTC that would earn you 250 points.

I thought I'd add to this with a quick follow up re deposit times from bank into Coinjar. You can do this by POLi deposit (not all banks have this option) or simply BPAY. There is also a cash deposit option

dunno about the 'options' one, you won't necessarily quit your job from it, but you might as well say don't invest in the stock market at all

At current prices 600 BTC is worth $2.5 million USD as you say in the article - but when was the demand made? What would have been the USD value of the ransom at the time the hackers made their demand?

the idea is that it's more anonymous

Thanks robot. That was actually my first attempt, complete with typos, and when I didn't know how to use the tag system properly (I deleted it).
