  7. I read once about an Indian guy on Names That Break Computers (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I read once about an Indian guy who changed his name to the equivalent of "John Smith (deceased)". Evidently this was in protest to some threats by a local official along the lines of " if you don't sell me your land you're dead ". The computers were fine with it, but an operator at his bank read the name and flagged the account as deceased, freezing all his money.

    There will be certain things it will stop. People wanting to pay for a pizza are going to find it hard to find a local outlet accepting anonymous bitcoins. People who just want to use it for convenience, and who want to have the usual consumer protection. The funny thing is none of the things it will stop seem too have much to do with terrorism.
