Hey blake, thanks for continuing to support STV!

As far as the recent spike is concerned, for full disclosure, I did buy some but not all of the SativaCoin. Another reason for the spike may be that I have been working hard on a clothing site to expand the reach of STV. At this point in time traditional payment methods as well as Bitcoin are accepted and I will continue to fund development with some of the revenue generated. The site is www.topshelftoker.com 

P.S. If anyone would like to use STV as payment, then please contact me directly and I will try to accommodate for you
