The question still remains: what should the standard look like? And I think right now there’a not enough agreement on what the Web should be to make standardisation effective.

An interesting idea! I think that was one of the original goals of the VPRI project ( http://vpri.org ) — very high-level executable specs that encoded the meaning rather than worried about performance. IIRC, their 2D graphics lib

Hi sorbits, Yes, you must have some trust in the ledger owner, although, as mentioned in another post, depending on the type of asset it may not be such as issue. We built the system so that the issuing rules and payment guarantees were sep

Hi mrb, That's a great point, but at this stage I do think there's a critical distinction between something that's inherent to the platform and something that sits on top of it. Right now we're really focusing only on bu

Open Transactions is definitely a similar project and has some really sophisticated financial features. However, our aim is a little different; we want to focus on one thing -- ledgers -- and ensure that it's as simple and easy-to-use

Well, that would partly depend on the consensus pool as they may have their own blacklisting mechanisms, but broadly every message in the system is signed by the client making the request, and the consensus node passing it on. Every signatu

Thanks for taking the time to read through! The wording on that could be improved a little because there's a bit of a distinction between total computing power and number of nodes. It's a proven result that in asynchronous systems

The basic difference is that we're trying to cover the complete online banking experience, not just ways to organise and visualise transactions (although that's a part of it too). The big thing missing from Mint for us is payments. Bunsn ge
