I had a dream, a passion, a belief that we could all trade safe, secure and privately.

This dream has been trodden on kicked, assulted and stolen. It is still alive and a passion that I will always keep. For a brief while transactions flourished in different safe havens, commerce would develope, ideas would take tangeable form and goods and services would flow. These periods came under attack when fears of money laundering and neferious activities prompted the siezure of assets and the crippling of trade with extreme 'know your customer' regulations.

I firmly stand against any criminal behaviour. Transactions should be honest, trustable and private. One day I am sure that an electronic transaction system will be in place that replaces the majority of cash transactions. If an electronic transactional system is developed by corporations or governments as a more cash like version of EFTPOS, I feel that it is bound to violate the rights and privacy of all who use it. It is my purpose to try to develop such a system that protects the rights of the transacting parties.

My vision is a distributed public key infrastructure based transactional signing system that provides secure settlement, confidence in the transaction and a high degree of privacy.

I am developing this as I undertake an electronic and communications degree. I hope to be able to produce an opensource chip design (written in IEEE-VHDL) that can be used for a smart card as an electronic wallet.

As this is an ongoing project, please do not consider this as an existing form of money, a place to launder your ill gotten gains or a great medium for your next HYIP or Ponzi plan. I am looking for people willing to test, probe for weaknesses or just enjoy the prototype systems.
