Beeblebrox, I think I'm going to accept your offer. I've spent the past few days talking to various people and it looks like most of them do not really understand what OtherCoin is/does. They keep asking questions like "how is this different from spending Bitcoins between two Android smartphones" (as in using the Android Bitcoin Wallet to spend the funds directly via the blockchain) or "why do I need a microSD card in my phone to do this" (they don't know what a smartcard is or are even aware of how vulnerable an Android smartphone really is, especially when rooted).

On the other hand, distributors want to see a finished product (packaged, ready to sell) before they commit to anything, so I guess the first order of business would be to get these to look more "commercial", then into the hands of a few key people and reviewers that can understand how OtherCoin is different from a regular Bitcoin payment. I also need a demo video that shows the actual product in action, from the time you insert the card into your phone to your first payment through the system.

Just to clarify, is the 10 BTC part of your bounty still on (for when this becomes a commercial product, which should be in a few weeks)? If the 20 BTC loan removes the 10 BTC part of the bounty, I'd rather struggle to get it out the door on my own, then take the 10 BTC and use them on the project. As you can see, I am a bit reluctant to get into debt (managed to stay debt-free for 35 years ...) but I really believe in this idea and its potential.

You are also welcome to become more involved in the development/company if you wish to do so, I could use an adviser / partner, even if you don't want to do this in an official position (but also if you do).

Thank you,
Razvan
