Thanks. I am probably not going to talk directly with banks, but I know there are people from the traditional banking and payment card world on the Agile Banking list and I'm hoping one or two smart banks might use the economy as an excuse

You are absolutely right about that. Which is another reason why traditional banks are a not likely to jump on this straight away. Liquidity is not an issue for most of the applications I hear planed using OpenTransact as they typically ope

Innovators dilemma. If the banks want to adopt it then cool, if not more opportunities for innovators. The regulators though are the real issue, but we have some ideas for dealing with them as well.

According to UCSF's Lustig from "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" video in Lionhearts post it's because they don't consume hardly any fructose. I do believe though that urban Chinese and Japanese are experiencing the same health issues we are here

Taubes book is not a diet, but an extremely thorough review of the last 100 years of research into obesity, heart disease, diabetes etc. I think easily 1/3 of the book consists of references to the scientific literature. Contrary to popular

The issue is not if you eat a lot of meat or not, it is if you eat a lot of carbohydrates or not. I know plenty of fat vegans including a family member who became diabetic and suffered a stroke because of it. Of course your and my experienc

Regulators are absolutely our biggest headache, but while hard I don't think it's impossible. It is one of the biggest areas of discussion on the mailing list. If you're interested you should join the Agile Banking group: http://groups.goo

While existing institutions could use it, I agree that they probably wont. This is a classic innovators dilemma where a bunch of small new services could form, be ignored, grow and eventually replace the status quo. I wrote a long 5 post ar

The US is about the only place where people are scared to give out bank account details and that is because in theory you could initiate an ACH bank transfer from the other parties account. What many people don't understand is that that sam

While governance and a flawed ballot system are definitely a big issue, the real reason it has been exploited the way it is is that there is no real opposition in SF. And that I'm afraid is because of this particular aspect of San Francisco

Oh absolutely. Miami's corruption is of the old school type with groups battling it out over who gets a piece of cake. Actually there is some race factions in SF as well, mainly with the african american and chinese groups who seem to compe
