Silk Road 2.0 Pledges To Compensate Users For Stolen Bitcoins

[DEAD7]

An anonymous reader writes "Online black market Silk Road 2.0 has pledged to pay back more than £1.7 million worth of bitcoins stolen from its servers during a heist last week. Speaking in a post on Reddit, Silk Road 2.0 moderator Defcon said the website would refund the more than 4,000 bitcoins stolen during the heist, and would not pay its staff until users had been reimbursed."

If they make good on this, it will be huge.

I'm sure users will be reimbursed when Bitcoin is back to a couple cents a coin.

I doubt it will ever sink that far... the interest in it alone will keep it above $100.

I do think Bitcoin is a bit overvalued, but the people thinking it will sink completely are scared of change.

So far there are about 30,000 or so websites accepting bitcoin as payment and many local NYC shops accepting it as well.

It's not going anywhere.
