Hi Someone just pointed me at this project today. My name is Pelle Braendgaard I have been involved with payments, authentication standards, signatures etc since the late 90s. I am currently working on a startup http://picomoney.com which is a platform for creating tradable electronic assets. I have been working with a growing community over the last year or two on pushing a really simple standard for payments (or more generically asset transfers) over http and oauth. Our work is at http://opentransact.org . There are several examples on our github project http://github.com/opentransact The goals behind open transact are exactly the same as those outlined at payswarm. From a technical point of view we do take a slightly lower level over the the current payswarm work. I haven't read enough yet on payswarm. So I will comment when I understand more. I would definitely like to include OpenTransact and the work we have done into this process. Most of our discussions have been done on this list: http://groups.google.com/group/opentransact?pli=1 Regards Pelle On Fri, Aug 19, 2011 at 12:33 PM, Manu Sporny <msporny@digitalbazaar.com>wrote: > Hey folks, > > We've let a few days pass to make sure that the people that wanted to > join the mailing list had the chance to do so.
