At least > there is some customer service, fraud protection etc. well tbh you're right here. crypto currencies swing far more in value on a daily/weekly basis than the usd or euro do in a whole year. that's kind of ha;f the fun of them... :) > There is also Google Pay (wallet), but I am not a fan of Google.

Just > mentioning for consideration. i don't think we're going to want to pay fees for the small amounts we keep. just fyi,.. the better your relationship with the bank, the cheapr and better it is. i bank with hsbc and i can transfer money world-wide to/from my accounts in various countries for free. i don't even have to change the currency. that's a separate step.. no limit on transfer sizes either. i also can keep one of about 20 or 30 currencies and exchange at will without transferring. but e.fr doesn't have this and i can't see any way for that to happen, so crypto currencies are not a bad way to break down these barriers and move money around the world, despite the volatility. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
