Wired article about a black-market website, which takes advantage of a newly emerging cryptographic digital currency called bitcoin to allow people to make untraceable illegal purchases. Mark, a software developer, had ordered [10 tabs] of acid through a listing on the online marketplace Silk Road. He found a seller with lots of good feedback who seemed to know what they were talking about, added the acid to his digital shopping cart and hit "check out." He entered his address and paid the seller 50 Bitcoins -- untraceable digital currency -- worth around $150. Four days later, the drugs (sent from Canada) arrived at his house.
