It would be very interesting to see more comparisons between merchant's perceptions of mobility and reality, but this[1] Toronto study is the only one I'm aware of. As expected, merchants were proven to not be credible sources. &g

This is a really interesting use of the protocol and looks very cool, congratulations! I am curious how this experiment fits with the longer term goals for the project. Do you see Matrix as a social media protocol in addition to chat? If so
