Has anyone else thought about applying for a grant from the Bitcoin Foundation?. I'm applying for one with Marketcoin; though only a little one to begin with. If anyone has systems they'd like to develop but don't have the funds I'd really encourage it. Peter, Gaving and Lindsay all encouraged me to write one for Marketcoin. You can find my application here: https://github.com/XertroV/MarketcoinWhitepaper/blob/master/GrantProposal-Q2-2013.md

Edit: Tumak has updated the crosschain p2ptrade algorithm to be clearer, please find the updated version here: https://github.com/bitcoinx/colored-coin-tools/wiki/crosschain-p2ptrade

Good, glad to see someone finally being serious about this.

I think you'd want to get demo of crosschain p2pt running before asking foundation to fund it, if I see repo with sensible code, I'll even help you. The wording in the paper is a bit unfortunate imho, it sounds a bit like heresy - your altchain is designed to support fragmentation of Bitcoin ecosystem and you're asking Bitcoin foundation to support that? Maybe you want to tweak your wording a bit. There are far more productive use cases for cp2pt than just faciliating BTC x LTC x otherscamltc p2ptrade.
