I am applying for permission to commit full projects with GIT because I'd like to manage the Bitcoin Address (bitcoin_address) module
as well as other related modules. I've also got my eye on becoming a co-maintainer of a few modules
such as the username_check. I've been developing with drupal for the past three years and using PHP/MySQL
for the past 9 years. I've submitted a variety of patches to Drupal 6 modules over the past two years.
I am currently a freelance Drupal consultant supporting various clients in the Washington, DC
area. I attended DrupalCon DC and SF, and am looking forward to DrupalCon Chicago.

I am a big believer in the power of the open source community to make great things happen and would be honored to be a part of Drupal's community.

I am submitting the Bitcoin Address as my module. A previous version is also available at http://github.com/DarrellDuane/btc_address
The Bitcoin Address module provides a CCK Field type for holding Bitcoin Addresses. It checks to see if the
Bitcoin library is installed, and if not, it provides instructions for doing this on the Status Report page. It validates
bitcoin addresses that are submitted utilizing this library. There aren't other existing Bitcoin Address modules to
compare this module to. I am aware that there is a module out there that allows for non-programatically creating
customized field types for CCK, but I doubt that it supports validation checking by making a call to a library. It is much cleaner just to download a module and enable it to make a new field type.

My CVS application is at http://drupal.org/node/1013890 if you'd like to see the things I've done to fix and respond to feedback about this module. I'm setting this issue to reviewed and tested by the community because this is the status of the issue for the CVS application. Thanks for reviewing this module.

@DarrellDuane, as I understand it -- and I may be wrong, just reading http://drupal.org/node/1075406 -- you need to create a sandbox project before this can be approved, and then your sandbox project becomes the actual project.

I did create a sandbox project, but I didn't realize that I needed to put that in here. Its at http://drupal.org/sandbox/DarrellDuane/1072393

Thanks sreynene

I am going to make the original issue the main one since it has a lot more context: http://drupal.org/node/1013890
