Great. I've just distributed an initial amount of cash; the money supply
is around 70gm or so. Transactions (in the two days since conception) have
been so-so. I've had two transactions personally -- one for consulting on
html pages and one incentive for a key-signing. I'm about to begin
offering services to further back my currency.
I'm doing all of the transactions by hand, but if the traffic becomes
heavy, I'll begin automating the process on one of our unix machines.

can't name any names). I'll contact mpd.

PS: how about a different message besides "Bad RSA packet" when receiving
a message not encrypted with the servers' key? Threw me off the first
dozen times I saw it. :)
