It seems to be a competitor to Ripple. Can someone familiar with mobino give some comments?

Their backing account is with SwissPost and they charge a 1% fee to "merchants", though they also say person to person transfers are OK, so presumably they have a way to distinguish merchants from regular users. They're currently in the process of become a regulated money transmitter.
I don't see anything new here. It's basically a small Swiss PayPal. Title: Re: 2013-02-18 ft.com Why central banks should take charge of their digital currency Post by: BitcoinAshley on February 25, 2013, 07:49:19 PM Lol, another paypal.
Quote Yet, when Groff talks about digitising money, he doesn’t mean it in the M-pesa or Bitcoin sense. What he wants is a fully democratised, He wants easily corruptible mob rule? Quote [...] honest These SHA-256 don't lie... Quote [...] and harmonised What the %$!@^& does that even mean, with respect to currency? Glitterwords? Quote digital currency structure. One that works with the government, not against it, whilst all the time empowering citizens. Yes because we want to work with the governments to help them kill people in other countries for oil dollars. Great concept. Where's his white paper Quote And that, by and large, means blowing the whistle on what’s really going on behind the scenes with many of the existing platforms. Yes, yes… Groff has an interest in rubbishing his competitors. These payment platforms and currencies, he notes, are not always what they seem. Spreading lies about your competitors, yes, of course. Well in his defense, some of the alt-coins are scams, and all of the centralized corruptible currencies (like the one he's designing) are inherently corruptible, oh, and centralized. Quote But what we were taken with was his transparent approach to what’s going on in the business behind the scenes. Well, is it completely open source, P2P, and non-corruptible by any government body? It must be easy to impress these loons. So this guy 1) made another paypal 2) talk about how other payment systems are corrupt but oh not his 3) make false implication that P2P systems that can't be corrupted by oil dictatorships are shady and have "stuff going on behind the scenes i.e. GENERATE MAINSTREAM APPEAL 4) ... 5) Title: Re: 2013-02-18 ft.com Why central banks should take charge of their digital currency Post by: World on February 25, 2013, 08:21:55 PM This article has a link to an interesting company: http://mobino.com/mobino-for-everyone/ here is video how it worksIt seems to be a competitor to Ripple.
