Hmmm... while these are very interesting projects they are not actually commercial. If there are not enoigh commercial projects of importance to vote on should we simply allow all projects? The idea was to possibly find a sponsor for a price for the next round.

The only commercial project I can come up with myself is mycelium wallet....

[Spekulatius]

BitVegas?
The WinkleVoss ETF?

[phelix]

Bump!

I changed the rules to allow commercial and open source projects. Also it will be Project of the Quarter as every month seems to be too much.


Some suggestions:

There is a new version of CoinControl https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=144331

Bitcoin the Documentary https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149892 (no idea about the current status)

Bitmessage https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=128230.0  (great project but not directly Bitcoin related so I am hesitating)

The holy grail (Decentralized everything) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=212490.0


What else?

[Mike Hearn]

Just to give credit where it's due the micropayments work was based on a design by me, tweaked by Jeremy Spilman and the code was mostly written by Matt Corallo with me reviewing. So Matt deserves the bulk of the credit. And of course it's all basically just implementing ideas by Satoshi anyway.

Is it to late to nominate?

[Anon136]

im excited about a lot of these projects but the prospect of bringing bitcoin to the only society that is accustomed to using digital currency is HUGE

[phelix]

Is it to late to nominate?

Yup, please save your suggestions for the next round.
