 Can you give us a history lesson about ONOSENDAI? Can you document the "idea phase" to its production?

Why do you assume arkinox had no skin in the game? I doubt he conjured up all of this after receiving the grant. It seems pretty thorough to be an afterthought.

"Imagine Satoshi" blah blah blah. Where's your idea? Where's your project? Builders are only looking at one thing in this space. I can imagine OS looks through a similar lens.

 I am in no way qualified to decide the value of a project but these are from Satoshi in 2010:

I got a donation offer for $2000 USD. I need to get your postal mailing address to have him send to. And yes, he wants to remain anonymous, so please keep the envelope's origin private.

I will try to think of a polite way to ask the donor if he sent it, but right now there are other higher priority things that are going to bump even that for a few days. Would a donation of bitcoins help in the short term?
