> Any comments from e-gold people?
hi dmitry, here are my comments: adding a shopping cart interface on the phone side is a doable thing - i guess the question is would people use it? (pushing to get out the original e-gold SCI was probably one of doug jacksons top 3 decisions ever wrt e-gold, and it is so heavily used that i'm not going to underestimate the phone analogue - consider the idea at least on the table) getting people to do MD5 hashes could be a show stopper...with respect to SMS && gold... ...how about a service that provides SMSgrams? SMSgrams are unique numbers sent via SMS. each SMSgrams message represents a fine weight of gold. users get SMSgrams online via web browser by spending e-gold to the service using the e-gold SCI. they can then initiate SMS messages to their phone from the service. the service also accepts SMS messages at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you have SMSgrams on your phone you can "cash them out" by sending them to that address. it looks at the sender and uses the e-gold automation interface to spend to the associated SMSgram users account. you can also just forward SMSgrams to your friends whereupon they could cash them out or keep them handy. (maybe there would be a [EMAIL PROTECTED] SMS address to stash your SMSgrams without cashing them out so that the orignal sender couldn't just cash it before you.) the service keeps track of the outstanding SMSgrams and knows which ones have been cashed. it performs all the double-spend logic associated with copyable digital tokens. it has gold on hand backing all the outstanding SMSgrams. anyway, thats a quick thought. somebody build it and i will use it :) jay w.
