i'm very happy to make it my specialisation... i have a lot of experience designing an experimental anonymity protocol and i think with that i can solve the instant messaging privacy part of this protocol... which sorely needs to be sorted out, and also maybe the in-band micropayments and maybe what you can call "microsubscription" schemes that are needed to enable spam-free multi-hop routing of messages, critical to metadata privacy
for now what i'm focusing on is building a userbase outside the bitcoin community so a bigger pool of resources is going into building that skillset for devs that have got into this, i'm even training one guy in my current work as a part of my job, how to write good quality #golang code
