There are several very well known chess players who are interested in bitcoin. As development here continues I think it will become easier for me to interest them in CryptoNote. Please continue the technical discussions, particularly about new research papers and commits of importance.
How many GMs are publicly interested in bitcoin. I am not finding much with a Google search.
Do you feel that an interest in bitcoin is a prerequisite for an interest in CryptoNote for most chess players who are new to crypto?
