Ok great! Thanks for the feedback.

Yes.

I linked your article from the wiki page with the livecd docs.

I take the opportunity to update the list on the current roadmap:

1) fix one technicality of the web auth (just for purist reasons)
2) stop calling mmap during the global benchmark if there's already a
   sigstopped seccomp task running
3) finish interfacing with paypal (already started)
4) find the best way to deliver and store all invoices
5) finish porting djhon to CPUShare (writing a malloc wrapper in the process)

Then depending on the traffic that will be generated I will have to
either 1) buy more hosting services around the globe, or 2) to change
the client protocol to allow any peer to become a "gateway" or 3) to
connect the buyer and seller directly in traditional p2p fashion. The
buyer will be the one required to have one port open, that's a quite
reasonable requirement for the buyer. There are tradeoffs in each
solution. Anyway to be useful in a djhon way it, the current protocol
would be sure more than enough, but dunno about more mixed things like
folding_X_at_X_home, not sure how much traffic they generate.

Apologies if I'm so slow at everything, I hope things will change
eventually ;).
