Well that is what the user agreement says.

Why? WHat exactly in the user agreement should be changed so 
its constitutte true title. I read it many times and it seems clear.

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.

Yes that what the user agreement says. And that is what would 
stand in court. I own the gold. Period.

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.

Possibly... and again maybe it is what the new patents (assuming 
they get some) will be.  We will know when/if  we see them.

You are possibly right on the patent issue...

That is where we disagree... I think that GoldMoney has all it 
needs in regards to clarity on gold ownership. I see only one thing 
missing: Real time audits of the vaults content.
