Colonel Bosco:

I'll address you point-by-point without quoting too much.

I said it's possible to own a portion of something without specifying
exactly which portion.  I even gave specific examples (e.g. Microsoft,
water, network bandwidth) which nobody has yet refuted.

You say no, unless it has a serial number on it and I can clearly identify
which is which, I can't own it.  You gave dollar bills as an example.

All right, I'll use that example.  Let's say my wife and I have keys to a
safe deposit box.  In that box is one $100 bill and one $50 bill.  I own
half of the money; my wife owns the other half.

Questions:

1.  Who owns the $100 bill?
2.  Who owns the $50 bill?

Answers:

1.  Nobody.
2.  Nobody.

The fact is, I own $75 and my wife owns $75.  We each have a 50%
undifferentiated share of the the two bills in the safe deposit box.
Neither of us owns either bill entirely.

OK, now on to your gold example.

 I.E. YOU HAVE A VAULT WITH A BUNCH OF BARS OR DOLLARS IN STORAGE,, AND
LET'S
 SAY 1/2 ARE DISCOVERED AS FAKES, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PROVE WHO THE REAL
 BARS OR DOLLARS BELONG TO??

That's a damn good question.  If you catch the fake and you know who bailed
in the bar, you can zero out his account if he still has enough grams in the
account.  If he has already spent the grams to other people, then those
grams he spent are tainted.  They get passed around through the system very
quickly, and there's no way you can go in and nullify those specific grams
of lead in the exact accounts.

Even a grid system does not help you here.  Once the bad grams diffuse
through the system, you aren't going to track down the entire chain of
events and subtract from each affected account.


NOBODY has yet refuted my example of water rights.  I maintain that it is
possible to own a portion of a body of water without assigning serial
numbers to individual drops.

Let's say I own 10,000 gallons of water in a 500,000 gallon reservoir.  I
don't know exactly which gallons are mine, but I know I own 10,000 of them.
(Gee, imagine that.)

Now let's say a saboteur dumps a ton of cyanide poison into the reservoir.
What then?  Simple:  we're all screwed.


Extreme situations are not good counter-arguments.  I can assert that
cannabilism is morally wrong, and still acknowledge that an airplane
stranded in the Andes is a very interesting case.  (Dang Jesuit teachers!
 + )



 YOU REALLY ARE WAY OUT OF LINE ON THIS ONE -- I WOULDN'T TRUST SOMEONE
WITH
 YOUR OPINION TO SAFEGUARD ONE GRAM OF MY GOLD.

What an amazing thing to say!  You are attacking my personal integrity
because I disagree with you.  You are saying that I am a potential thief
because I believe it's possible for two people to own an equal share of a
$100 bill and a $50 bill.  Wow!

If I am WAY out of line, it should be easy for you to refute a few of my
examples and abstain from personal attacks.


 THAT'S CORRECT -- WITHOUT PROOF OF CLEAR TITLE (100% OWNERSHIP) YOU HAVE
 NOTHING BUT A CLAIM AGAINST AN ASSET.

Nothing but a claim?  A valid claim is everything!  If I have a valid
claim on 1000 shares of Microsoft, I own them.  Moreover, the shares do NOT
have serial numbers -- most of the time they're not even printed
certificates.  Besides, you don't think the floor traders in New York sit
there and fiddle around with who owns exactly WHICH shares, do you?


My thanks to Dale Pond for the dictionary citations for claim.  May
everyone listening be blessed with Life, Love, and Laughter.

2002-05-23 Thread Colonel Bosco

You are referencing Joint_Property (bad example)..

If your wife AND you have a $100 bill in your safe you BOTH have claim to 
the asset -- you have claim to $50 and she to $50..  Now, you could change 
the $100 bill for Two $50's and settle the matter --- OR  you could cut 
the bill in 1/2 and each possess One half of the bill.  Now,, you might say 
that would be stupid, however, since the bill has SERIAL NUMBERS the two 
halves could be taped together at a later date and still be cashed at a bank 
for 100 -- one dollar bills.

IF THE TWO HALVES did not have MATCHING SERIAL NUMBERS then they would be 
worthless.

LET'S TURN THIS EXAMPLE AROUND A BIT -- let's use the same dollar in your 
safe as the subject.  Now,, let's say you neighbor breaks into YOUR safe and 
steals that $100 bill??  You file a report and the Police happen to catch 
your neighbor with a whole bunch of $100 bills.  Now,, how are you going to 
prove WHICH $100 BILL (IF ANY) confiscated by the Police belongs to you??  
Well,, if you were smart enough to RECORD THE SERIAL NUMBER TO THE BILL 
(that was in your possession) then it becomes a simple matter of matching 
your bill number to the bills which are held by the Police.

WITHOUT the serial number you can't prove that YOU OWN THAT $100 BILL...

On to other examples...  Your shares of Microsoft,, guess what? Corporate 
Shares have SERIAL NUMBERS.

When you bought your shares of Microsoft, UNLESS YOU SPECIFIED PHYSICAL 
DELIVERY OF YOUR SHARES FROM YOUR STOCK BROKER, YOU ACTUALLY OWN A CLAIM TO 
A POOL OF MICROSOFT SHARES THAT YOUR BROKER OWNS AND CREDITS TO YOUR 
BROKERAGE ACCT.

You may THINK you own the actual shares --- but unless you have them 
delivered and REGISTERED to you,, then you only own a CLAIM to MSFT shares 
in the possession of (and owned by)your broker.

Now you are finally seeing the light.  You are EXACTLY RIGHT The system 
DOES NOT EXIST, HASN'T BEEN BUILT, AND ISN'T IN PLACE, that complies with 
the GM patent.

Have you read the patent (I Have)?  Patent's are very specific,, and 
frankly, the system(s)that the Patent(s) describe(s) DOES (DO) NOT EXIST AT 
THIS TIME IN SPACE PERIOD...

Now this is interesting Are you saying that there is RISK IN THE GMN

Because according to the Patent (and) the ONLY REASON MR. TURK WAS GRANTED A 
PATENT,, was because He invented a new way to eliminate the risk of payment 
systems.  However, if the system that is described in the Patents EXISTED,, 
then you could actually easily track down the offending Fake gold -- it 
would be no different then culling counterfeit dollar bills from the vaults 
of the FedResrv.

So obviously, again on another point, the GMN does not even comply with 
their own Patent.

You're missing the point. completely

You are comparing apples to oranges here with this ridiculous *water* 
example.

You are comparing unallocated and unsegregated storage to allocated and 
segregated storage!!!

Your water example is UNALLOCATED AND UNSEGREGATED water - you have 
claim to water COMINGLED WITH WATER OWNED BY OTHERS.

If your water bank was segregated and allocated then YOUR WATER would be 
held seperately from WATER OWNED BY OTHERS.  It is physically, and 
technically possible to allocate AND segregate the water -- however it is 
not economical to do so at this time because water is plentiful in most 
places.  In the future though, it is possible that water storage will be 
allocated and segregated should H2O become as rare as Gold.

This water rights example doesn't apply.. It doesn't apply to the issue of 
the Patent and Patent infringement.

However it is a another pretty good example of how GMN doesn't comply with 
the Patent --- as your GGrams are NOT ALLOCATED AND SEGREGATED AND TITLED to 
the owner of the GG's (as specified in the Patent).

They are comingled with GG's owned by others within the GMN network - just 
like your 1000 liters of water.

The grid system will never be built because it is pointless.

But if you want a grid system, here's one.

Every day at midnight, the GoldMoney system devises a random mapping of each
physical gold gram (as a cube) to a specific account number, proportional to
account balance.  The mapping is determined by sampling the random noise at
http://random.org.

There's your grid system.  It works because each gold gram is equivalent.

Geoff and James could take the trouble to implement it, but it is pointless.

Now I did read the patent a long time ago, and I don't remember the part
about individually numbering the gold grams.  Would you be so kind as to
direct me to the relevant section?

Yes, there is always risk due to fraud, theft, or asteroid strike.  The
patent only mentions eliminating payment risk.  Once you're paid, you stay
paid.  That's it.

By the way, I haven't been arguing for or against the patent.  I've been
arguing that you can own 10,000 gallons of water without putting a serial
number on each drop.

Wrong.  UNLESS you have the shares physically delivered to you, he knows 
that YOU OWN a claim to three shares which are in the name of the brokerage 
house.

You own three shares out of a pool of MSFT shares in the brokers name and in 
possession of the broker.

If you ordered physical delivery of the shares, then the Broker WOULD 
register those shares to you and deliver them out of their pool holdings.


But if you want a grid system, here's one.

I never said that *I* wanted a grid system.

each
physical gold gram (as a cube) to a specific account number, proportional

There is not enough info here to comment on,, Randon sampling is used for 
many things.

That's your opinion -- I haven't seen the details and the web site you 
referenced is not a GMN site.

It would be interesting to see when this supposed system was put in place?  
After they filed a lawsuit -- or was it built into the code originally?



Now I did read the patent a long time ago, and I don't remember the part

I never said the Patent specified this.  The serial # example was my way of
