eh, lobbyists will block this as much as possible. Unless Mastercard and Visa can make money from Bitcoin transactions this will never be any type of official currency the US and its businesses will adopt
having a voting system is good, but Github has this feature already so why pay for bitbucket when GitHub is just free. Also, voting is cool but unless you have the development resources to tackle "popular" wanted issues all the plus 1s in the world won't help you.
looks good for a product that CVS can sell to replace disposable reading glasses, but it doesn't solve any big problems like amount of magnification, distance situations and style options in general
As for best practices
Name, Title, email (QR Code) to save room, phone, address on one side with small logo and on other side big logo or name are the standards
You want to have a system in place that is adaptable and flexible for its end users, but strict enough so that it doesn"t break production or core systems. This is where agile development and quality assurance comes in.
I think in this case the requests made were already on the development roadmap, and were escalated with the request. It is not unrealistic for any high performance team to crank out these types of requests in 2 full days, and still maintain a solid API platform.
Plan, Do, Check, Act is aleays the best method for long term product quality assurance. Eventually all systems will have a need for some type of update that makes improvements or innovatations to its code base. Its how you deploy those changes which determines the updates success.

Having worked in the technology industry for past 10 years; starting at Globat (Web Hosting) now owned by one of the mega Web Hosting consolidators (who also own BlueHost now); on a side note we were first to go Unlimited bandwidth (pure marketing to compete with BlueHost and it became an industry trend), and working for a CDN (NetDNA and MaxCDN) now; selfless promotion, every Website owner should have a Content Delivery Network these days.
I have to go with Amazon EC2 for your one-time testing instances (location availablity to spin up a box in Ireland or Singapore is great). If your doing some more permentant stuff, then I would have to go with Linode or VPS.net which both are unmanaged vps's. I can't recommend Rackspace cloud, good for some things but not this area. If your looking for application hosting then page.ly or WPEngine is the way to go for Wordpress Hosting, for other application hosting it would be OnApp.
For Web performance you have Velocity in Santa Claria in June 2013
For OpenSource you have another Orielly conference OSCON
For project management you have Atlasian's annual conference
For Web Hosting you have HostingCon in Aug usually in Austin
For Gaming its GDC (Game Developers Conference) in Austin and San Fran (i think)
