Er - what do you mean "Ian-style think cash"? Image recognition based think-cash is just as "Ian-style" as any other kind. I think that GJ's version of Think Cash is pretty viable, and is, as far as I know, inspired by the article I published on the subject on Half-Empty. > Your style of think cash is pretty groovy.

The only current implementation of Think Cash that I am aware of is GJs, and it is this that I have been talking about all-along (of course, a Turing-test based think-cash would be the ultimate, but I have always admitted that the implementation of this would be extremely difficult).
