The actual example I was thinking of is that of traditional British pubs. Often a company will own several pubs - however the pubs themselves will typically have individual traditional pub names. The name of the company might not be at all prominently advertised in the pubs. Traders at music festivals are another example that comes to mind (they often accept credit cards if they sell higher value items so why not Bitcoin?) In this example there often are no clearly advertised business names - at least, that the customer will be aware of. roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
