great. I actually like your old school website it seems you are all about whats under the hood, rather than marketing. This is a plus, but I am wondering about how you are organised in the sense, you've got everything working as you want it, do you then envisage promoting it, say the way http://stellar.org has?

@Alan Bradbury you do know stellar is an ibm project, right?

@Alan Bradbury and snowblossom is so far (essentially) two people (one of whom actually works on the code) on their spare time

@Alan Bradbury Well, we have a bunch of ideas for bootstrapping the cryptocurrency and making it generally useful, but that takes a lot of.. collateral and support structure to be built up in terms of software.
Most of the focus has been on reliability and resiliency of the network and tools.
I've been venturing into making things more pleasant to approach, but there's still a long way to go on all fronts.

I'm sure there will be a time to market, but my personal plan is to focus on that, once we have a small variety of useful "products" to showcase.

then, in theory, people would just want to have snowblossom, because, that's things function.

as a user i like the premise of 'crypto has been around for a decade now, about time someone did a fresh clean simple implementation of the very basics'

That is nice, but it's useless if you can't use it to build things, right?

@Alan Bradbury one of my complaints about bitcoin forever is that it lacks some usability for end users and store owners.
