One thing catches my eye; "..who does not currently appear in the official election almanac,.. " So basically he's not even a candidate technically, right ?
Sounds to me like an attempt to give bitcoin some media attention - not that i mind tho .. But even so, i doubt it will have some real affect what he's doing.
I think he is, but he's just a minor candidate. Do they put minors in the almanac as well? This guy doesn't seem to be that popular; it's just the whole bitcoin thing.
