In that case, I'm not sure that what you have is a cryptocurrency; it ends up basically equivalent to a set of machine readable and cryptographically signed "I transfer X currency to Y" messages. The machine-readability and cryptographic signing are thus the only difference from the way Agora normally does currency, and I'm not sure they're different enough to be interesting. That said, I think machine-readable actions (and corresponding mechanised officers) would be an interesting direction to go in. For something like currencies, there's not /much/ that can go wrong (and what does go wrong could be interesting). We should probably keep the core proposal gameplay human-tracked, though. -- ais523
