[OpenAFS] Linux OpenAFS & EncFS?

[Troy Benjegerdes]

Oh, and if you tack on full IPv6 support, I can pay in Catcoin, although 
it will probably cost me more in legal fees if euros are involved too.

Jukka: What do you think about floating an indiegogo campaign to fund 
the stage-1 design/estimation work, and have a 'stretch goal' of getting
a legal opinion on how to use https://cryptostocks.com to fund the remainder

FYI, if Jaltman gets a coinbase acccount he can easily get dollars from you.
