Chris Hibbert sent me a solution for the problem I mentioned about the
last remailer in an anonymous address chain being able to discover the
true name for the address.

I'm currently working at Google in the Niantic group. We build geo-mobile social apps that run on Android and iPhone. One is Field Trip, which watches where you go and tells you about interesting stuff nearby. I work on Ingress, a massively multi-player map-based augmented reality game. It's a lot of fun to work on.
I worked on Prediction Markets (AKA Idea Futures) for several years. It started as work on my own time, and evolved into a position with CommerceNet. I've been interested in these markets since the late 1980s, and have been participating (at the Foresight Exchange) since '92 or '93. I helped run a private real-money market in 1999, and wrote sofware to implement them from 2003 through 2009. I built Zocalo, an Open Source toolkit for Prediction Markets, hosted at sourceforge. From March, 2005 through July, 2006, I worked on this project in CommerceNet's research lab as Principal Investigator. After my stint at CommerceNet ended, I continued to pursue the project for a couple more years, working with groups at MIT and Chapman University.
In 2003, I worked on an implementation of Idea Futures in E. I used it to explore some of Robin Hanson's ideas on how to support conditional claims. It is probably mostly of interest to people who are interested in learning E, or are very interested in the details of Idea Futures. Early in 2004, while working as a contractor on an Extreme Programming project, and discovered the power of the Idea Java IDE. I started over building the present version of Zocalo in Java. This version focuses on integrating book orders with an automated market maker.
I wonder if Chris left anything off his résumé.
