Just curious - what is the reason behind the swap?  Is it just a rescue of the SIGT community?

With over 100 million SIGT out there, the price of STRAKS is going to be temporarily limited by the price of SIGT I think.  

Here is an example: if I can get 1 STRAK for every 4 SIGT, and SIGT is 1.5 US cents, then I know I can basically buy a STRAK For 6 cents.  If I can effectively buy STRAK for 6 cents each, then anytime the STRAK price goes above 6 cents there is an arbitrage opportunity, and people will buy SIGT to swap and sell STRAK down to 6 cents.

I'm not saying you shouldn't swap to SIGT.  I'm just curious why that became part of the coin (I don't think it's explained in the ANN unless I missed it, and it doesn't seem relevant to your roadmap beyond rescuing SIGT).  The arbitrage opportunites will only exist until the SIGT swap closes, and after that I'm sure the STRAK price will grow just fine.  It might be good to have a second source of STRAK generation (the swaps) aside from just mining/buying, but the reasons should be in the ANN.
