I don't think bitcoin could integrate their tech since it's not a blockchain, but a DAG (what they call a tangle).
Interesting stuff.
Any historical trading data available?
Also, does each user operate under the same settings?
Seems like more users = less arbitrage opportunity because we're competing against each other.
Who gets priority when trading? Or is it more like we're pooling our money for arbitrage, and then each node gets a proportional split based on their deposit amount (like a mining pool)?
Presumably Yishan was heavily involved in the logistics of that.

I bought all the ingredients and made DIY soylent from one of the hacks someone posted... The taste was a serious problem. I wanted to drink it for a week, but there was a 0% chance of that happening the way it tasted.
Then I tried making Soylent Pasta, but boiled out all the nutrients and the water turned piss yellow (http://juliansarokin.com/soylent-for-science-pasta-bad-decis...)... But if there was a way to not mess that up, I think that could be really interesting.
Still waiting on my official Soylent, hopefully it tastes better than my catastrophe.

Seems like you have a nice handle on the 'selling for bitcoin' space. I'd love to chat and see if we can join forces in some way (I'm the founder of SellSimple.com).
Hit me up on twitter or via my blog if interested :)

b) is ripple (I already commented about it in this thread) - it really is amazing technology that I hope becomes mainstream. It solves a lot of the major problems of BTC and other Altcoins.
Check out http://ripple.com - they pretty much solve this problem, although its VERY beta. Expect really cool things from them in ~6 months.
Ripple is fiat agnostic and allows seamless conversion between currencies. This means I can buy something in Yen and you can receive payment in LTC. Amazing system if it gets up and running.

Instead of sending a box, we automatically purchase a shipping label for your item using the shipment method of your choice (USPS, UPS, FedEx). The shipping label already has the address of the buyer and everything filled out.
All you need to do is drop off the package (we'll show you the closest shipping locations).
From there we automatically track the package and show both the buyer & seller realtime updates of the package location & delivery.
We're calling this service "ShipSimple" and it's bundled into the overarching SellSimple platform.
The ShipSimple feature will be released in version 1.4 (coming very soon).
