I guess that's the reason why they are accepting bitcoin.

  If they were also offering Bitcoin to the person who discloses the information, that person could remain anonymous while still benefiting from the bounty. This is an "assassination market", but for information. I'm very intrigued by this concept.

    I would guess it would be very difficult for the leaker to remain anonymous to the government. I'm sure they have careful revisioning and at least some compartmentalization, so I think whoever blows the whistle has to do it with the assumption of it becoming public (and it may be in the interest of their safety to follow the Snowden route).

      I'm not sure, there are too many governments and agencies involved in the negotiations. It could even be a computer engineer that has nothing to do with the negotiations.
