<div>Hi Michel,</div><div><br></div>Yes, I do have a public key, but yet again,<div>another nice idea with terrible interaction design and userbility</div><div><br></div><div>- most people have no clue about public private keys, so this keeps it a geek thing</div>
<div>- the actual app upon launch is unclear. Where to click, what to do,gah!</div><div> <div>I can't really support this even if it is a p2p solution.</div><div><br></div><div>James</div><div><br></div><div><br><div>

<br>
quote:<br>
<br>
"Bitcoin utilizes public/private key digital signatures (ECDSA). A<br>
coin has its owner's public key on it. When a coin is transferred from<br>
user A to user B, A adds B’s public key to the coin and signs it with<br>
his own private key. Now B owns the coin and can transfer it further.<br>
To prevent A from transferring the already used coin to another user<br>
C, a public list of all the previous transactions is collectively<br>
maintained by the network of Bitcoin nodes, and before each<br>
transaction the coin’s unusedness will be checked."<br>
