State representative raised $1,600 for his campaign — in bitcoins

“When New Hampshire State Rep. Mark Warden last ran for reelection, his campaign staff urged him to try something that few other political candidates have dared to do: accept contributions in bitcoins.  Some of Warden’s donations came from surprising sources. He found his digital wallet bursting with contributions from places as far afield as Europe and South America after international well-wishers learned of his campaign through the Bitcoin community’s tight-knit grapevine.  ‘They didn’t know anything about me or about Goffstown, New Hampshire,’ Warden said. ‘But everyone in that world wants to see Bitcoin become mainstream.'”
