Re: [swinog] SmokePing 3.0 Project

[Fredy Kuenzler]

Tobi,

Sounds like a plan! I suggest do make a project on any international accepted 
crowdfunding plattform for the 50k (plus some reserve), we spread the link via 
all *NOG lists and social media and I'm confident that money will be raised in 
no time.

On behalf of the international network community I would like to express my 
appreciation for all your work and effort you made so far.

painpoints of the curent implementation are, to craft a compelling
value proposition for version 3 :-)
