I believe with your background then is crash course in coding not the best way to spend your time - I suggest using your analytic mind to think out of the box, see those opportunities that "coding geeks" don't see.
Read everything about the fundamental of how bitcoin works on technical level, and learn the basic concepts well, look up words you have not heard of before, link them to the context - if it gets too technical then start a thread and as people to explain it in plain English - I am sure you will have a polite answer very fast.
Thanks... I will shut up and keep reading for awhile.
I like the proxy space, as that is my existing expertise. What I see an immediate and obvious need for is an effective hedging instrument for downside risk especially. I see some binary option sites (created by forum members who I'd like to talk with soon) but they are on the wrong scale for safehaven purposes (but well suited for short term speculation). Uber bullish early adapters with a lot of BTC paper wealth at the moment would do well to introduce a put writing program to insure other holders. This is actually anti-hedging, but is extremely lucrative in a rising market, and would be fairly simple to implement.
Happy Thanksgiving all!
