Just to be clear, the minimum reserve is set so low because we are not doing this for profit.
We want a passionate team to commit to this cause of freedom and cryptocurrencies. The tiny amount is to discourage non serious teams from trying to acquire this. The competition sells licenses at half a btc easy, so there is an enormous amount of profit available for the right team. If you can show any references to prove that you are skilled and passionate, do let us know as well.
Good luck!
