Thanks for nominating my project, Bitwasp, as project of the season. Some of the links I posted on the Bitwasp thread here are a little outdated, so I may as well write a little about us here.

We had hoped to make an alpha release in December, but have put this off in order to have the site support multisignature transactions. Escrow, or upfront payments, are all done using 2-of-3 addresses. It's a little manual at the moment, but I hope to make it really simple once BIP32 extended keys are out there.

All the transactions are scraped from the blockchain, so the site never holds the coins, (or any private keys), meaning if the site goes offline coins are recoverable by the buyer/vendor over another channel. Disputes are done by crafting a new raw transaction for the users to sign.

There is a feedback system for buyers, vendors, and items purchased, to help people assess the rating of the others. I'm actually pretty close to having multisig working in Bitwasp, this should follow in the next week or two. Someone has volunteered their time to create a new responsive layout for Bitwasp, so sites will look great on all devices. He's trying to make it as customizable as possible so people can develop their own in the future.

I think the demand for multisig is huge.. Our goal is to make commerce with bitcoin as simple and safe as possible. We have a test site, http://test.bit-wasp.org (not currently demoing the multisig stuff, just a live wallet), and forums at http://bit-wasp.org.

Thanks again!
Sounds good, thanks for elaborating!

I like the comic of Satoshi's Girl. I find it quite interesting. A nice story

few voters

so sad

I think it gets buried in spam sadly

Yes, this place has become way to noisy. Especially for users that go by "Show unread posts since last visit." to browse the Forum (and don't have set Boards on Ignore).
Yup. It wonder if it's any better on the foundation forum (not that I like the foundation too much).

Not sure if I can nominate, as I am a member, but The Wasp Open Hardware Project will be the talk of the town...
Sure you can.

Not sure if I can nominate, as I am a member, but The Wasp Open Hardware Project will be the talk of the town...

If you post a link to the thread explaining it, anyone is welcome to nominate a project even newbies as long as its bitcoin related and a fairly new project.

I'll add details for you but feel free to add your own
BitWasp is an open source PHP project which aims to lower the barrier of entry for anyone wishing to set up a bitcoin marketplace. Bitwasp is designed to operate independantly of centralized services, and runs it's own bitcoin server to track payments.

That said something has caught my eye

I nominate the Ethereum project it is a decentralized crytocurrency platform that may become an integral part of Bitcoins future.

A cryptocurrency network that intends to be as generalized as possible, allowing anyone to create specialized applications on top for almost any purpose imaginable. The project: Ethereum.

Ethereum aims to be a superior foundational protocol, and allow other decentralized applications to build on top of it instead of Bitcoin, giving them more tools to work with and allowing them to gain the full benefits of Ethereum’s scalability and efficiency.
naaah, sorry, this is not a Bitcoin project but competition imho.

PS: I nominated three technically (Satoshigirl, Neobee, and Ethereum) The atm I consider an honorable mention since there was no nomination limit as long as its new Smiley
