Well that is what the user agreement says. > As you know, I simply don't believe that GM presently meets the > conditions required for a GM holding to constitute true title. Why? WHat exactly in the user agreement should be changed so its constitutte true title. I read it many times and it seems clear. > doesn't help that the patent is a confused mess that talks about the > holding balances being "liabilities of the central clearing house". > You have to be honest here, Claude. I agree here.. The patents seems not clear and do not seems to match exactly the user agreement. But as far as I am concerned, the user agreement is what counts. Beside, keep it mind that GoldMoney has two other patents pending...Maybe one of them describe the current system. I can only think that their ideas have evolved with time. > GM today claims that a holding > balance is NOT a liability. Yes that what the user agreement says. And that is what would stand in court. I own the gold. Period. >But the patent says that holding balances > are "liabilities of the central clearing house". Possibly.... but who cares... We just have to wait to see if they will have new patents that match the current GoldMoney system. I am not a lawyer and have not studied these patents... cause again, as far as I am concerned, what stands between me and GoldMoney is the User Agreement. >That means that > GoldMoney today is NOT the system that the patent describes. Possibly... and again maybe it is what the new patents (assuming they get some) will be. We will know when/if we see them. > Even if you don't grant my premise that an undifferentiated claim on > part of an object does not constitute clear title, you still have to > admit that the GM patent is self-contradictory.

I see only one thing missing: Real time audits of the vaults content.
