Hi all. Yes, this is true. There are a lot of things to think about and you need to work diligently for a project like this. You need to think ahead and predict everything.
I had to submit all the papers ( flight approvals) once more as I have cancelled the launch. So the Airport need to be closed( in case of an emergency landing) all the planes need to be redirected to the closest airport- 200 km away. I had to submit a detailed report of all systems/ devices used in the space box: gps, APRS system, radiation counter( geiger tube), parachute diameter, balloon diameter, the size of the radar reflector, datasheet of balloon, flight path, lauch site, launch coordinates, recovery team: how many people, what equipment are they using to trace the balloon, etc.
Not to mention about the "crypto" side of the project. Here in Romania, they are treating everything related to crypto with a high dose of skepticism, so I had to explain what EGC is, what system will I use to make the transaction, etc.
The launch site, my hometown, Iasi, is located 25 km E close to the border with Moldavia and 200 Km N close to Ukraine. So I don't want to start an international mess:)) ( joking). I only have flight approval for Romania and it would be a huge effort to get a flight approval for 2 countries, no to mention about traveling to an unknown terrain and search for a 30cm x30 cm box:)
There are also the regulations for radio-amateur Dual Band Two-Way Radio. I am broadcasting on 144.8 Mhz, using a Baofeng uv-5 so there are different regulations on Ukraine and Moldavia, and again, I don't want to mess arround:)
And there is my raspbery pi2, my gopro hero 4, and ion air pro2. and the 7 inch hdmi touchscreen. So I really really want to recover them all from Romania:)
So, yes, it's only a balloon launch, but there's much to think about and make it all work. And I am happy and thankful to you all for all your support and for your understanding. These days have been full of testing and testing and more testing. Oh, and one more thing: 700 paper wallets will be distributed during the launch. I have printed them and here's the picture:)

hi maxamus, I am very happy to hear your big project. very nice also if you create a new ANN on your projects and let more people know about the time of launch approximately 16-22 may 2016 not launch that failed previously.
this will provide an additional link in the forum to EGC ANN btctalk. as well as being of particular concern from people in btctalk.
Dev EGC will be able to change the OP and add links to ANNProjek and you provide a link to ANN EGC as an official crypto used in your projects.
it was just a suggestion. if you do not think well, forget it. cheers
sorry my English is bad.
