Informal Poll!

[Fellow Traveler]

(Please email your answers off-list. Feel free to add items or reasons.)

As you all know, I've just released a GUI called "Moneychanger" for
Open Transactions, which is available here:
https://github.com/FellowTraveler/Moneychanger

The current Moneychanger GUI feature set includes:
add/edit/delete for Nyms, Server contracts, Asset contracts, and Asset
accounts. It also includes withdraw and deposit cash (from account to
purse), write and deposit cheque, purchase voucher ("cashier's cheque"),
send transfer, process inbox, and import and export cash (from cash
purse to clipboard).


INFORMAL POLL:


	WHICH FEATURES do you think are most important to be added next to
Moneychanger?

--- Bitcoin integration
	Why: Universal "glue" between OT servers.
	Why: Reserves are publicly auditable, and can be secured from theft,
confiscation, etc
	Also: Large base of users, large base of exchangers.

--- Ripple integration
	Why: P2P value flows, with currency translation at each hop.
	Why: Eliminate any need for server-to-server transfer.
	Why: Ability to convert into any asset type.
	Also: Existing base of users / developers.

--- Loom integration
	Why: Many asset types already traded there.
	Why: The purpose of Moneychanger is GUI for this kind of server.
	Why: For Ripple integration.
	Also: Large base of users, large base of issuers.

--- Truledger integration
	Why: Truledger is very secure; it uses signed receipts, and destruction
of account history.
	Why: The purpose of Moneychanger is GUI for this kind of server.
	Why: For Ripple integration.
	Also: Truledger is written in LISP.

--- PKTP integration
	Why: PKTP is extremely secure, and has a very small code-base.
	Why: PKTP focuses on the small vault owner, for metals exclusively.
This makes PKTP ideal for the ISSUER role in the ecosystem. (Is everyone
starting to see the eco-system vision?)
	Why: The purpose of Moneychanger is GUI for this kind of server.
	Why: For Ripple integration.
	Also: Australia is mostly desert.

--- OT Markets
	Why: OT already supports it, so easy to add the panels to GUI.
	Why: Allows users to safely 2-way trade, and convert one asset type
into a different asset type.
	Why: Bitcoin community is already building markets, might as well take
advantage of the engine that OT has, that's already built.

--- OT Baskets
	Why: OT already supports it, so easy to add the panels to GUI.
	Why: It's a powerful way to create and use asset types.
	Why: To trade those baskets on markets.

--- OT Recurring payments
	Why: OT already supports it, so easy to add the panels to GUI.
	Why: Merchants have consistently asked about this.

--- OT Deed of Title / Escrow
	NOT YET SUPPORTED BY OT
	Why: Would allow people to register individual items and assign
ownership of them, using the same signed receipts, etc.
	Why: Would enable a wider ranch of marketplace activities.
	Why: The escrow feature would also be useful to the existing
unit-of-account-based asset types.


Anything else?

Also, please mention which operating system / platform is most important to you.

Just a little on list point to correct any PKTP misrepresentation!

PKTP is not *exclusively* for metal although that is a main focus,
there are also shares, although these do not exchange between vaults so
probably for the purposes you are after PKTP is a metal system.

I'll grab a jumbuck and stick it in my tucker bag for ya if you ever
get down under.

I tend to see the mobile market as significant, the ability to point a
smart phone camera at, or display a QR barcode and transfer value
contactlessly without any NFC radio or special hardware add ons is a
significance that does not yet seem widely recognised but is IMHO going
to grab the market.

Keep up the good work,

cya, Andrew...
