Setting aside the risks involved in a non-escrowed crowdsale...
150,000 transactions per second is a BIG checkmark.
More interesting to me is the notion that you can submit any kind of processing work you want to the Elastic Coin blockchain, for its "miners" to computationally solve. So rather than ONLY grinding the same make-work algo for bitcoinlike proof-of-work cryptocurrencies, miners can work on unique submitted tasks whose solved output has value beyond a blockchain reward.
The interesting part of this is its potential interplay with Ethereum for large projects.
Gonna Google you, Lionel. What other stuff have you coded and worked on?
