One of the major objections to the Bitcoin cryptocurrency is it isn't backed up by anything, no hard assets or government. MintChip aims to succeed where Bitcoin faltered by having the backing of the Royal Canadian Mint. http://www2.macleans.ca/2012/04/10/mintchip-is-a-fresh-idea/ Is it secure? Of course it's secure! It has the dual advantages of a (presumably) cryptologically reliable technology combined with a totally secret implementation. http://mintchipchallenge.com/forum_topics/759 ------------------------------
