3D-printed gun advocate Cody Wilson announces bitcoin venture


WASHINGTON –Cody Wilson isn’t afraid of legal gray areas, whether they’re do-it-yourself firearms or anonymous online money.
Last year, the Austin resident and former UT law student posted plans for a 3D-printed plastic handgun online along with a video demonstrating the weapon. He took the plans down days later, after the State Department ordered them removed.
Now, Wilson has moved into another realm growing increasingly popular among tech-centric libertarians. He and six other coders are working on software that would further encrypt bitcoins, an increasingly popular quasi-anonymous online currency.
