Dear Jim, http://www.davinciinstitute.com/quotes.php Apparently the sky is crowded? I don't know this Thomas Frey, but has he been in the same sky as me? His question about standing in front of a vending machine in 2050, what currency will you put into it? is pretty thought provoking. I

It would seem that any vending machine could have the same capability. Then the kiosk could connect to the secure SCI page at e-gold.com and tell me 'You have requested to pay $0.75 of gold to' some e-gold account. I put in my account number, SRK the password, and type in the Turing number (Alan

All you need to do is have one company add a layer to this. Then handle the processing via cc and then have their backend converting e-gold rather than doing it directly from the machine. Your project would be on the back burner for some time I think. It would be better to find a way to tap
