Wat
I can supply a device that peroidically ping gps locations through the cellular network and these devices can be sold to either runners and/or customers to place in their package to make sure it gets their.

Basically someome needs to create a website that looks up the route of the package and then queries the nearest runners asking if they can full fill the order for X amount of btc(along with estimated amount of $$$).
Sounds simple

What if runners are unavailable to pick up packages like they promised? (family member died, rush to hospital , some other extreme reason?)

Possibly depending on the package they could post it to the next runner. At least message someone about it and the site could notify another runner in the area if there is one.

The important part here is "communication".

The gps device would be nice too. Especially for dead drops Smiley

I'll add another runner (maybe 2 if my wife isn't busy) to the Vegas network if you ever get it running.

Let's talk governance, lipstick, and pigs.
Google just needs to adopt Bitcoin. After the whining and crying stops everyone will (mistakenly) thank them for inventing it.

We'll be kicking off development of bitdrop shortly after GLBSE2.0 is out the door (already 3 days late :s) we'll also be doing an IPO on GLBSE to fund it.

This is a really good news! Grin

With the incoming BIP_0011, can this project become completely decentralized?

I was working with a number of guys at the time on getting this rolling but that was at the time I had my accident. It's still a great project but unless someone else takes it up I won't be able to get anything done with it until the new year at best.

why do 90% of all the other projects never get out of the planning stage?
Because talking is cheap and everybody can do it while doing it for real job is quite difficult Smiley

Maybe it can become an open source project? Has anyone drawn up any designs?
I would like to see this happen. I was working on this very early on, but got fired because I was lazy, so I don't know how far this got, but I know kokjo stayed with it for a while. Maybe he still has some parts of the project?
