Quote from: Damelon on January 15, 2017, 05:46:09 pm The on and off ramp is up to the facilitating payment provider. There's no way around that.

Do you envisage a single USD asset, or several? I can see how it works if each payment provider has their own USD asset, but not if there is a single USD asset that is shared by all the payment providers.



In addition to the code for cross-chain exchanges, do you expect to have some payment providers lined up for 2017? Presumably there are a lot of legal and regulatory issues with being one.



I envisage several. The model is competitive and there is room for more than one provider, certainly.I'd like to see some competition in this market. It's healthy if nothing else.Each provider could set up their own chain(s) for their businesses.The legal and regulatory issues are mainly with the providers. If they already have a license, they will have an advantage. We certainly are aiming to have them lined up for mainnet launch.This is why we are offering to help anyone who wants to be a first mover and has a good business model.
