Hi, Vinay - 1) I hope you'll consider including Black Rock Yurt Storage & Transport <https://www.facebook.com/BlackRockYurtStorageTransport> in your safe vendor discussion page. I'm providing a fee-based, but non-profit, yurt storage service by placing a semi-trailer stationed at outer ring where people can drop off their yurt & store it until the next burn. On-playa drop-off & pickup of yurts will reduce hexamoop, increase fuel efficiency, and generally do good things for burners.
2) Having invested in the Ethereum initial sale, I'd love to hear more about progress. If there's any kind of venn-diagram intersection between yurt & Ethereum-interested people, maybe we should have a gathering. Want to propose something?
