    Interesting thread about USDcoins earlier. Basically a crypto coin pegged to the dollar right?


    Yes. Someone (say mtgox) backs them. The concept is basically the same as BeerTokens.

    I talked about a chain where issuance of different crypto-currencies (or crypto IOUs if you prefer) by users is allowed.
    It's probably outdated. And I have concerns about scalability and DoS attacks (spaming and such).

    In this other thread, a chain is not needed, but still usd IOUs can be issued by users and traded for bitcoins atomically.

    I'm thinking lately about combining both things so I should review both threads properly.

    2 different forms of free-money: Freicoin (free of basic interest because it's perishable), Mutual credit (no interest because it's abundant)
