no, I'd say they do not qualify, even though they benefit greatly from it

re: conibase.com, let's wait on this one, I do not see any information about them being incorporated on their website.

Satoshi Ltd. is registered in Colorado and run by Ira Miller and me, and includes Coinapult and Paysius. You can definitely add BitInstant LLC to the list of course.
