A resident of a northern China Province submitted his complaint to a district court asking the city's Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau to "perform its duty to control air pollution according to the law". He is also seeking compensation from the agency for residents for the choking pollution that has much of northern China, this winter. It was unclear whether the court would accept the lawsuit. "Native American Tribe Adopts Its Own Bitcoin Clone" Payu Harris, a Bitcoin developer and activist at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, made a promise last year to continue his tribe's struggle against the United States.
