ϭ has relation to bitcoin
ϭ actually does have a visible relation to bitcoin, seeing as it is the lower-case russian B. :)
Pros and cons as different collums?
I think it would be better if the pros and cons were in sepparate colums to make it easier to evaluate the proposals; what do you say? --TiagoTiago 15:23, 26 April 2011 (GMT)
