  @rotalumis. I am at a quandary as to what level of knowledge or understanding of technology an author is to assume the readers posses, to enable an individual to be qualified and authorized to write an article for LTB. If source documentation is required for every axiomatic ( i.e. self-evident knowledge,http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/axiomatic, known by all; in present context, astute readers of technology) statement made it distracts from the gist and substance of what is written.

  It all depends on what audience you want to target, but it is good in general to try and make your article understandable by as wide an audience as possible. At the same time, you don't want to overdo it, as you say.

  If you need more specific help with your article, I suggest you try and find an editor in the Content Market or ask for help there, as I explain in this post.

  @Pairmike

  You've set your article to "Ready for Publishing" but it's rather short with the bottom part more or less in point form. You start off well, but seem to have left it half way through, when you have lots of scope to give the reader more value and info, particularly as regards the projects you listed.

  Apart from quality issues, it wouldn't be fair on the other writers or even on the readers to publish something like this. I've set it back to draft. Please make sure articles are complete and ready before marking them as such.

  @rotalumis The article is to be a companion piece for Daniel's interview with Adam. Based on the forum comments to that interview, this article provides value to those listeners who would like have a recap of ProtoShares. Thanks for the feedback.

  Is way longer a title than the system can show on the home page. Please shorten it and I'll send the post in for editing. I've set the post to "draft" so you can set it to "ready" again and I'll get notified.

  As a guide, I replaced "half a million dollars" with "$500k" in your previous title and it only barely fit.

  Thanks, Andrew

  What happened was that I didn't get notified again when the article was set to "ready" a second time after I set it back to "draft" for you to edit the title. @Cryptonaut any ideas why that might happen?

  Sorry about this, Brian. It's uploaded now. And I know this might sound like a cheap excuse, so:
