The Sandvine Prize: http://hireme.geek.nz/sandvine.html

A 5 prong fix to the Sandvine BitTorrent protocol "Seeding Exploit" is 
needed immediately.

The Sandvine BitTorrent protocol exploit makes BitTorrent seeding nearly 
impossible. This protocol exploit jeopardizes the proper functioning of 
BitTorrent data exchange networks. The Sandvine Seeding Exploit will 
probably be more widely implemented in future by ISPs. It is possible that 
90% of BitTorrent traffic could be removed from the Internet in 3 months 
time if the world's ISPs adopt the Sandvine Seeding Exploit to eliminate 
BitTorrent traffic.

The Sandvine exploit directly threatens people's ability to make money using 
the economies of scale that BitTorrent offers for file transfer.

Donations are necessary to allow the prize to be awarded

-- [Canada] Use the Interac funds transfer system for Domestic Transfers at 
any Canadian Bank or Credit Union website. I have no funds to offer for a 
prize at this time. These banks are the primary members of Interac: Royal 
Bank of Canada, CIBC, Scotiabank, TD-Canada Trust, and Desjardins.

-- [Rest of World] (Moneybookers: Account aspadistra [at] yahoo.com)

If the Comcast or Sandvine US corporations donate 300,000 EUR to me (via 
Interac / E-Gold / Moneybookers) this innovation prize will be canceled. The 
fixes I am suggesting will probably ultimately have a cost 350,500,000 EUR 
(globally) in traffic related expenses 2008-2011. I must point out that 
BitTorrent can ultimately save 750,000,000 EUR in extra traffic expenses 
over this same timeframe.
