Gaby I will not copy and paste otherwise the post will be bigger than Ben Hur. I will try and address your points - if I miss any let me know.
The general thrust seems to be what if no one else uses CSATM.
Well as far as I am concerned that is not good. The fees are the main source of revenue.
Now let us also remember the risk level here. The people in the program are aware of the risk. Accepting risk does not make something a scam it makes it a risk. So my role is to facilitate the ATM acceptance. And- despite the fact that several here have chosen not to look at it and have prejudged it, I know the concept is valid.
I think you will find it begins to get more acceptance over the next few weeks. Of course it might get acceptance in places that you do not see, but there are a lot of areas that are quite happy to have the privacy benefits of the ATM. And I spend more time dealing with those people
The issue seems to be "but what if it does not work". You and I could sit around and discuss that for days and weeks. We could also dicuss what if it does work. There are lots of issues surrounding e-currencies today. What if e-gold loses? There are some who say that right now your gold in e-gold is worthless. What if that comes to be true?
Seems to me that solutions need to be worked on now rather than later and that is what I am doing.
Now regarding the admin running with the funds. Firstly I do not have the locations. Whether or not you accept that is up to you, but the point of the system is privacy. There can be no storage of locations. That would defeat up front the point of the system and render it vunerable.
So it is a moot point. On so many levels your question stops right there, because it cannot happen. But I will proceed for the sake of clarification
Exchangers comply with all KYC and AML guidelines. That is a safety. Your assets are held not by a central location but by various people, and those people are ones of your own choosing.
The Exchangers are not stupid, and I suggest that "moving fast" would throw up cautions.
You might remeber Osgold, you might remember evocash. Funds went to a central location and the admin of that program could just help themselves. this is not the case in the case of the ATM.
The storage of assets at globally diverse locations is in fact the subject of much discussion in e-currency circles. The freezing of e-golds' bank accounts and so on has had a deliterious effect on many - and people are looking for solutions. CSATM is such a solution.
So lets say you exchange through Solid Trust. Solid Trust still have your Solid Trust Funds. If fraud arises, they (an indepenant third party) still HAVE your Solid Trust Funds. It is not an escrow service but could be likened to one.
I cannot go running to STP and say hey I want those STP funds.
Let me know if I have addressed your post to your satisfaction.
