Hi! If it's a major milestone, can you tell us what the system is, and something about the difference between the old and new? I don't have a login, and guessing trivial passwords didn't get me in, and the "News" section mainly referred to bug fixes etc. I'm guessing it probably has something to do with payments?

see <https://loom.cc/?function=grid_tutorial&mode=advanced> or <https://loom.cc/?function=help&topic=grid&mode=advanced> or <https://loom.cc/?function=help&topic=archive&mode=advanced> to get a better idea. (What? I didn't say "RTFM", did I? Hell no. The height of cypherpunk decorum, I am. I merely found the salient bits of available text <in about 30 seconds of link poking, but, hey, some people are to busy...>, and put them up there for the Old Man in pre-chewed form. As Sophie Tucker said to her boyfriend Ernie when he claimed that her chest was flat and her box too tight, "Get off my ass, Ernie"...) <Misinformed-speculation> It's a response to the Feds attempting to take down e-gold. Haven't messed with it, myself. Kinda like when the cypherpunks list went to a decentralized network. Or, better, remember when Black Unicorn joked about issuing bearer certificates backed by a 12 pack of Original Coke? Or, less likely, Perry Metzger's gold-denominated Burmese opium futures? Or, to get all financial and stuff, Fisher Black and Gene Fama's early poking about with something they called "New Monetary Economics"? (No, I don't think the Loom guys have any idea what that means either...) No, it's not bearer. I don't think. Well, Venkat says it's bearer, but it's not blinded, so I disagree, but, beggars can't be choosers, and us folks in the peanut gallery get what we pay for. </M-S> The flurry of thrash on the gold-currency lists about this has been enough to make me zing an obscure forward over here, to confound you all, just for fun. As an unpopular Missouri cypherpunk used to say around here, go team, beat state.

See? I thought cypherpunks would find it cool. Go, guys, go. Cheers, RAH -- ----------------- R. A.
