Cool.  Cool

We've been in touch with via Twitter. They were checking to see if they can have a project both on KS and BS at the same time.

Bitcoin
It seems that the Kickstarter project Trsst will be using bitcoin addresses as its keypairs.  From the paper:

Quote
A keypair in terms of public-key cryptography is the pair of a private key and its corresponding public key. Each user's account corresponds to a keypair, and the public key is the account's unique identifier. The keypair is generated as a valid payment address in a crypto-currency system such as Bitcoin. The account's private key is held by a user in secret and kept in a keystore.

I'm looking forward to see if this idea takes off and, if so, what relation it will have to bitcoin.


Trsst most likely will come over to Bitcoin. I know BitcoinStarter.com is in talks with them.
