Hi all,<br>
<br>
Here is the first draft of the Web Payments technology analysis between<br>
PaySwarm and OpenTransact:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://manu.sporny.org/2011/web-payments-comparison/" target="_blank">http://manu.sporny.org/2011/<u></u>web-payments-comparison/</a><br>
<br>
The analysis is fairly high-level. I tried not to get too in-depth for<br>
each feature, rather limiting each sub-topic to a brief introduction to<br>
the feature, how PaySwarm addresses the feature and how OpenTransact<br>
addresses the feature. It&#39;s around 5,300 words, 12 pages printed.<br>
<br>
I will have inevitably made mistakes or overlooked some portion of<br>
OpenTransact, and I hope that Pelle suggests corrections in order to<br>
make the analysis as factually accurate as possible.<br>
<br>
During the review, I noticed a few security concerns that I have with<br>
OpenTransact as well as a few design issues that I&#39;d like Pelle to<br>
expand upon. I touch on them in the blog post above, but they really<br>
should have more focus put on them as they&#39;re basic design<br>
considerations that any financial system should take into account.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
