Thank you for the mention in your article!

We understand that a blind auction requires quite a bit of trust in our team, so we hope that our prior reputations are considered when evaluating our proposal. There are likely other users here who would like to bid less than 1000 USD - perhaps they can get in contact with you to create a small group bid? In a perfect world we would accept bids of any size, but we want to avoid having to calculate the results of thousands of micro-bids. We would prefer beginning B&C development as soon as we can if the auction is successful.
