Hey, it's interesting to see Counsyl representing. I interviewed with you guys a while back, and while I couldn't move to California this time and I bailed out of the interview process, you came across as a team with great ideas and amazingly clever environment. Looking forward to see what will happen to this project, have a lot of bitcoin related activity here in Taiwan now, and I can see that a lot more work is needed. Cheers!

Did you guys ever work out your issues with the Stanford Bitcoin Meetup?

I would love to see Stanford's Crypto group get involved.

Anyone know if Stanford has any of their endowment in Bitcoin?

As someone who works in development for a university, I am sure they don't. University endowments are all about good returns so no way.

"University endowments are all about good returns so no way."

You mean low volatility right? Because Bitcoin has had high returns and high Sharpe ratio (i.e. return compensated for volatility more than most investments), which is good, not bad.
