Jeffrey,

how are you doing?

I just finished this paper and I think it's super interesting:

http://weis2014.econinfosec.org/papers/Clark-WEIS2014.pdf

The guy is using the Bitcoin infrastructure to create a decentralized market for predictions. Essentially he wrote an extension to bitcoin that can be used to trade any type of financial product without a centralized clearing house/entity.

I figured it could be an interesting read for you as well, also as a follow up on our discussion a few weeks ago.

Speaking of something different, are you going to be in NYC from July 15 to July 20? Do you have time for a meeting?

Vincenzo

great! :) thanks!
I'll talk to Leslie and see what your schedule looks like in that time period, otherwise we'll plan a skype call around those dates
Also if you read the paper, let me know your take on it. I'm curious to hear what you think of it

hmm fair point, although I assume that if you regulate what is tradable =n the system (and you can since the order book is public, albeit =omewhat anonymous) then it should be legal?

Not sure, not really an expert on legal questions in this area. But I =ind the idea behind it somewhat fascinating

if I am there I always have time for you, otherwise we can skype

knee jerk response is that it is not a currency trading system or =ecurities trading system but gambling , must be careful, - most =f this is outlawed
