-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Off-and-on for the past couple years, Jorge Timón and I have been developing an extension of the Bitcoin and (pre-OpenCoin) Ripple distributed protocols which enable user-specified bearer instruments, distributed peer-to-peer exchange, off-chain accounting, auctions, derivatives and transitive transactions, and the multitude of financial contracts having such primitives would make possible. The specification is now reasonably complete enough that we would like to receive input from the community. The PDF is available for viewing here:
http://freico.in/docs/freimarkets-v0.0.1.pdf We're looking for public comments about this or related approaches. In particular we've spent a fair chunk of time working out how to handle coordination of private accounting servers with the public chain and derivatives contracts, both of which are basically cryptographic protocols expressed as bitcoin scripts. Input from any of the resident cryptographers would be very appreciated. Happy hacking, Mark Friedenbach -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.19 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJSF/rKAAoJEAdzVfsmodw4xVYP/jLoB6eDlgREawfbcW6kXe4s 25YnP19Hvk0NBk0Fv9G6zhAaOdHlR4dkcq2TueAqGHA+Drtp06eVkWDfqQOioGjx LrQF6ct9AbBZNN8glo7+JY70hecbEgWeW77cSrDTFxQAWwNnq0hVwVFb6++9rY9+ 6Q4jwJtqawWlMYRlFOiK1VW/MvI2WV4bypAjuOYsTnXZ8eFjyO+obZYUuMs6JUWd XojkDeL60NB6JHVoeyx270bvbP1Of5ErLZRuhC26MA9K4S6jlgfvLCqYBHnjRMHI KI/K7wqcpbbyldCSIcIsVtSrwBZRUgYfUFEFXvFjwzC0EwgGFwQC3pCqTWzskpo4 KS8ZMpgr7BjI+M0GSpRyh5x0aqZkptaaogCssHzoykmEwm6dyK8cdtdhtFAsGAMs dYpftZ/NJ17tOkUd22TXpIxWPckFBOmuV/hlr0wFpj50glttMH/8NwqKtGcjO21e ecuiJzXbjCGlFpKIG+JI5BOXvEeD5VoegsfLTwA9Egkuhh8FXyiqIPUEEV0W1DAC 0CIsX8XmWnKeRBWWa/2AHVuSQlBlut9gX1zRElaU5YSW58zsE3UeVPvSOJOh6ZKZ eLkRjzuyDrpuJiRKXFdTS857grUhYs+E5xeVkkZWy+q3XqQ7LofcZjp3Xt8tmx4j LSaZTewUL15MjQR0Ow8a =xyHR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.
