Anyone know who Ryan Selkis is? If you download the original PDF, right click the blacked out parts, and select properties his name is listed as the "Author" under the General tab; last modified 2/24/2014 8:46:51 PM.

According to his linkedin he is the Founder of Inscrypto, "We are like Bitcoin’s privately funded, decentralized version of the FDIC."
