nice to see CoinDesk spotted you eventually... Wink

Yeah we emailed them to see if they'd be interested, it's nice to have an article that doesn't come with a second half about the emerging dark web..

So, what would you suggest for promoting a project like this?

Honestly, and this isn't because I'm just a fan of free bitcoins - some kind of giveaway or bounty usually attracts a lot of users. If you look at the view count for threads in this board that are prefixed with [BOUNTY], you'll notice it's often 10 or 20 times as high as the rest of the threads.

I guess a sig referral scheme would be the easiest to administrate, and you get free advertising from it. My only advice would be to make sure you'll definitely have the funds to pay out if it becomes popular; people get antsy if they're made to wait for payments!

edit also, it's great to see someone still using PHP - every day I feel like my skills are becoming more and more obsolete...

We have about 25BTC on reserve for when it comes to bounties! We've raised over 34 to date, and we've paid someone 2.71 BTC recently for reporting a faulty RNG in a library we used to generate ECDSA keys, but otherwise we're holding on until we come to a proper release, before offering more, otherwise it'd be crazy.

But definitely, even advertising the bounty will bring in more people to test it, find other bugs, offer suggestions.. It's paid advertising of the best kind
