DJ, as you say, pretty much a quid pro quo system. Good point! Creating is easy. Just declare it created and have the mechanism for transfer, storage, identification, etc sorted out. Yes, you can buy some, or work for it, or sell something for it. <I happen to have some Quid, are you a buyer? > Of course, but I didn't know somebody had beaten me to it. Handling is much like normal electronic money. The holder approves the transfer. The bank moves it and plops it into the recipient's account. I might be a dreamer, but CDMA is now real and highly profitable. I dreamed of it in 1989 and it has been real for over a decade. I've dreamed of quite a few things and they became real. It's like magic. Just dream, whack away for a while, and hey presto, it becomes real. Almost eerie really. As long as one complies with the four forces of the apocalyse, it's all possible. Same with the Quid. It beats all contenders so far, complies with rules of the four forces, so it will be. If you wanted a global currency, would you really invent the US$ [or any of the other currencies]? Of course you wouldn't. What would you invent? Well, there's an obvious answer and it's the Quid. You wouldn't think to dig up gold and use that as the currency. You'd want something swishy, sophisticated, very cheap and very secure, robust, fast, reliable, trustworthy. Do you really trust King George II, Big Ben/Uncle Al KBE and the electorate which keeps them in business? Of course not. They don't even suggest you trust them on the greenback. They invite you instead to join them "In God We Trust". Which begs some obvious questions, such as who is interpreting for God? And did they mean God or did they make a mistake and meant Gold, dropping a letter inadvertently and nobody noticed? Mqurice
