In order to further incentivize work in this space I'd like to create a multisignature escrow bounty fund.

Theymos has agreed to be a cosigner with me and I'm currently looking for a third party. (Unfortunately, many of the people I'd normally ask would like to be potential bounty recipients, and I'd rather reduce the possible conflict of interest)

The bounty fund would pay out of this fund as funds are available according to the signers best judgment for completed work proposed in this thread that furthers the goal of making improved transaction privacy a practical reality for Bitcoin users.

I'll update this post when I have it ready.
