Maybe not a new currency. But Paypal truly has showed weakness when bending over for a government without any juristic evidence. I mean, Paypal as the #1 international internet pay-service (as I see them) is basically compromising their entire credibility over one political case. One can only wonder how much pressure the Government had put on them. So while a totally new currency maybe would be taking it a bit too far - a 100% independent online pay-service/transaction-service, explicitly stating their i political independence would be up for a timely launch now. Kind of like a Swiss bank - but for online cash-flow.
Offtopic: I hate misuse of common phrases such as "everything from domain-name providers to payment services". FAR from everything, they couldn't name another five types of companies that have refused service to Wikileaks.
