“It was a proof of concept that couldn’t actually mine Bitcoin, and the developers were working on ways to make sure that it was only useful for legitimate purposes before releasing the software. But, it appears that New Jersey’s grandstanding acting Attorney General John Hoffman (who has gone after some app makers who had installed secret Bitcoin miners with apps), along with Deputy Attorney General Glenn Graham, suddenly decided that this proof-of-concept software must be illegal as well, and sent over a ridiculously overbroad subpoena. EFF is now helping the developers fight that subpoena.”
