At least when speaking to investors and others with no "technical background". Agreed, we do need to get this message out in a "low" form too, at a later stage, but one of the primary purposes of this website is (also) to attract the type of people for whom the above is not complete mumbo-jumbo. There's no better way to do that than building articles like this which draw interest from the 0,001% of webusers who do have some idea about what we talk about here. In March we've drawn traffic from more than 30 countries, and have more than 50 people signed up on our mailing list. So some part of the Kaplak message seem to get through. Rasmus, please say if there was just some bit of the above which answered your questions. I'll be happy to elaborate on the rest.
