I thought about such deference and omitted it (to allow specific auctions to define it), but I'm happy to re-add it as such scams were not my intention. I'll do a proposal that does so. I also thought about actually adding a type of asset, so assets could be fixed, liquid, or auctionable. Fixed would stay fixed (and thus not be useable in auctions), auctionable currencies would be fixed except for specific auction mechanic transfers. [Better word for auctionable? Tradeable? Negotiable? ] -G.
