How can you be optimistic about the future if no one thinks about it or builds for it?

This guy has obviously thought about it and listed it in the "Internet of things protocol" using the blockchain. I don't agree necessarily though because IEEE already working on something.

Uhhhh, you haven't heard of mixing? I mean, not Blockchain.info mixing, that one doesn't work. But there's even a push for CoinJoin (by gmaxwell, one of the maintainers of the Bitcoin source code).

Also, regulation is about as useful as enforcement. If you ain't in the US, enforcement is pretty weak and therefore you can get away with it MANY times.

How do you feel about http://99designs.com, in particular the competition model in regards to design?

I've personally used them a few times with vary levels of success. It is particular useful for lightweight projects such as logo designs.

FYI, pg made a "Request for Startups" a couple of years ago, detailing problems he'd like startups to solve. You'd also know that those problems are fundable.

Could you go into more technical detail? How are the messages encrypted? I mean, is it subject to a brute force?

"ONLY you and your partners, who know the password, can access the secure messages"

Maybe I missed something, but how exactly is this "secure"? I'm assuming ccPing will still store these messages in a database which will be vulnerable to attack.

I mean, is this going through the TOR network or something?

This is great. Is there a way you could categorize the APIs so searches can be filtered? I imagine this a common machine learning classification problem. Maybe check out http://scikit-learn.org/stable/

So how does this actually work? The private keys are stored offline?

I see you're implementing an idea from https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Contracts ;)
