That actually sounds like a decent idea.
Bitcoin is already this way. All "cash" is associated with an address. To use that cash you need to be the owner of that address.
- schoen 12y agoPretty different senses of "address", though! A street address or a cryptographic key.
- randyrand 12y agoYeah, it's an interesting comparison. For the Oyster card, you just need proof that you live where you say you do. For bit coin you just need to not lose your key. Similar purpose. Different execution. note: lose as in someone steals it.If it's totally lost the money is gone, as we know.
