they are hiring using the MIT red balloon strategy:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARPA_Network_Challenge#Winning_strategy

"Maybe you know someone?
We are using the MIT Red Balloon Challenge strategy to crowdsource the best candidates. To join the search, get your invite link here and share it with people you know. Even if you don't know someone for us to hire, maybe you know someone who knows someone for us!

We will give the person who referred us a candidate whom we hire $5000, but that's not all!
We are also giving $2500 to the person who invited the inviter.
And then we are giving $1250 to the person who invited the inviter of the inviter and so on.
All referral bonuses will be paid after the candidate had had his/her six month anniversary as a full-time employee of the company. "

Incase anyone wants to sign up:

http://alphatesters.secretbitcoinproject.com/

Anyone have any idea what this is going to be?

Wild guesses?

I'm trying to think what it could be and I'm honestly coming up with nothing at all.
I think it will be sort of decentralized bitcoin exchange.
Basically http://www.bitcoin.de already functions as a decentralized exchange.
That means, transaction are decentralized but the website is not.

Mt. Gox creator?? Yeah, no thanks. You stay far, far away from bitcoin.

What are you even talking about. Jed has started and ran several high profile ventures and bankrupting gox was not one of them.

Did he crash ripple to come out with a competitor product ?

Gotta be sneaky about these things though Wink Could something similar to ripple not be built into bitcoin. Sorry if thats a silly question I dont really understand how ripple works.
I don't understand it either, but I think that as long as a digital project needs a solution for double spending it can be built into bitcoin.
It is the safest network to rely on, I think.

How long has it been like this? The most annoying thing with building hypes like this is that it actually works! Sad

My guess is that he's finally going to do something with that site he created in 2006: http://www.who.is/whois/coinconverter.com/

Let's talk governance, lipstick, and pigs.
Jed McCaleb's eDonkey, MtGox, and Ripple were all designed to be profit-based ventures under the corporate model. I can understand why his new on is under tight wraps. All of these faced an over-restrictive regulatory environment. Rather than generating revenue from ads and transaction fees, we need more people treating cryptocurrencies like stock and adding value by creating more utility and liquidity. Given that this new project is Bitcoin related, what is really needed is a complete all-in-one ATM/POS/Securities machine using something like Ethereum and Colored Coin.
