The market potential is unlimited.” When asked about payments, Canon indicated that they would accept houseflies, mosquitoes, or bitcoins.

You had me until “bitcoins.”
And then what will these frogs do with all their images? How will they record their memories for the tadpoles of the future? What an amazing new market. But we will have to keep in mind that the “time starved” tree frog need new solutions, that are not yet defined or developed. And they need them soon, before they go into winter hibernation.
