I jsut came across this site...has anyone already heard about it ?


http://www.bitmint.com/ (http://www.bitmint.com/)


The BitMint is under construction in Tel-Aviv, Israel by a professional team led by BitMint Ltd, in cooperation with IBM, consistent with IBM "Smart Money" vision.

We are lining up corresponding banks and financial institutions around the world. For business inquiries please contact Mr. Amnon Samid, CEO. For technology inquiries please contact Prof. Gideon Samid, CTO.

BitMint technology is based on US Patent 6,823,068, and pending patents around the world.

Was posted about almost 2 years ago, but not much has ever been said about it as far as I know, so probably vaporware.

I don't know, the website was registered March 2010, before that posting so it's likely.

My cousin went to a seminar @ Case Western Reserve on March 22, 2012.  She wasn't impressed & didn't see the need for it.

However, I'm sure people say the same thing about bitcoin...

"the BitMint team constructed a solution based on equivocation which allows for cryptographic money that is theoretically resistant to even brute-force cryptanalysis; resistance that does not erode with time."

I'd be really interested to hear how they solved that. I think the entire cryptography world would be interested.

Gideon Samid holds the underlying patents, and chairs the technical team that develops the BitMint solution. This innovation is a practical illustration of InnovationSP: Innovation Solution Protocol, presented by Gideon in his book "The Innovation Turing Machine". Gideon's interests include complex systems, inferential knowledge swarms, knowledge realization momentum (correcting for our tendency to model the unknown in the image of the known), cryptography, and computer security. Gideon is an adjunct faculty at EECS, and an adjunct professor in the University of Maryland, University College. He writes the cyber security column for "Digital Transactions", and his 2009 book "The Unending CyberWar" enjoyed critical acclaim.

in re. bolded text: Perhaps Rassah can offer a little insight on Gideon Samid.

EDIT: Just watched this video by Gideon Samid: The Innovation Solution Protocol (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytAoBZNNQx4)

how are we in violation of it? it's for a form of cryptography that bitcoin doesn't use

Did you bother to read it?

mint under central control = not bitcoin
