Hi,

John S mentioned this micropayment scheme:

utPeppercoin&topicIndex=3

Interesting, but its really built on information goods specifically. Like
tradedoor crypto sprinkled with dollar value connections.

Thanks. Interesting.

Unfortunately but realistically... treasuries like the US mint, etc define
what constitutes legal transactions and specie for that. 

Seems like Visa, Amex, etc have come reasonably close to currencies with
stand alone valuation.

An interesting field. Seems like the infrastructure of internet is more than
sufficient to implement any of this. 

regs to all,
Dan
