[Taler] Antbleed reference

[Jeff Burdges]

Just some related work or talking points around BitCoin : 

Appears BitCoin ASIC mining hardware vendor Bitmain backdoored their
customers : http://www.antbleed.com/
Interestingly, "the API is unauthenticated and would allow any MITM, DNS
or domain hijack to shutdown Antminers globally"

Another recent paper highlights Bitcoin's vulnerability to routing
attacks via ISPs, etc.  https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.07524v2
