I don't see a chance to pack all that currencies and payment providers with different systems into one API/GUI. It doesn't solve the manipulation of accounts, either. A Bitcoin wallet integrated into browsers on the other hand solves all three problems: 1. Users buy Bitcoins and transfer them to their browser wallet -> only one currency 2. Blockchain -> ONE global payment system ANYONE can join 3. Blockchain -> no manipulation of accounts/malicious trustees Considering the "ambitious" interest group roadmap I suggest partnering up with Mozilla to integrate a Bitcoin wallet into Firefox and show the W3C what's technically possible. -- Best regards, Rene "Renne" Bartsch, B.
