Hi JP,
nice article
you mentioned bithalo and the future importance of pegging cryptos to fiat value.
I guess you are aware that David Zimbeck who created bithalo is about to implement pegging into his other platform bitbay, the first decentralized marketplace.
it would be great if you could write something about bitbay in this context (smart contracts, pegging, decentralized marketplace) or make an interview with david.

I agree! Great article - especially the BitHalo tech.

JP, if you want to try to collect up to 2000 free Bays via our clients smart contract BitBay Faucet, please feel free to download the client to see how the contracts are set up - since BitHalo and BitBayHalo are essentially the same protocol.
Goto our website bitbay.market or our BCT forum OP  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=890531.0

One faucet is in the default marketplace. The other is hidden in it's own private market "BitBay Faucet" that anyone can join.

Again, Thanks for the article. Bright things ahead!
