Is there a network of US postal service employees or UPS or Fedex delivery people that can contribute to the challenge. (2). How feasible is it to hack into DARPA.MIL and get the location info and what is the fine and jail time :) (1).

There's no deception and all balloon locations are displayed for a completely transparent user experience. The catch is that you have to be the one to select the right combination before anyone else.

Groundcrew integrates with facebook, twitter, and SMS, and could be used to: * coordinate taking Aerial or roadside photos * coordinate verification squads on the ground * gather analyses and ideas about possible locations * even plant fake balloons We're into this use, and will try to get an accounts set up for groups that have a clear plan for using our software right quick.

We're working on crowdsourcing to the best of our abilities. Feel free to join our group (along with others!) http://ispyaredballoon.com My personal bet? Many groups will find 7-8 balloons that were placed in well-populated areas, but everyone will have trouble finding those last couple balloons. Eventually, after a few days, teams (especially those giving their winnings to charity) will begin consolidating their information or making it public. - Ethan I’d like to throw our name into the hat.

They should attempt to send their info to as many teams as possible for best chance at receiving the bounty.
