Very good. Who is behind it?

Might make sense for the big holders to sponsor things like that.

Coinbase.

I love seeing things like this in the community, always fun to see what ideas people out there come up with. 

Although if someone has something REALLY amazing you'd probably want to keep it to yourself instead of handing over the rights to another company for only $10,000  ;) .
