The startup has also released a white paper and welcomed some executive talent to the team formerly of PayPal, Visa and Morgan Stanley. The Plutus white paper states: "Plutus Mobile Application enables a user to make contactless Bitcoin payments at any merchant with a Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled checkout terminal [...] Ethereum allows Plutus to deploy smart contracts to enable secure, peer-to-peer (P2P) exchange of fiat currency and Bitcoin, with the added benefit of automatic escrow. Using these methods, the Plutus Decentralized Exchange Network (PlutusDEX) of traders convert Bitcoin deposits into a prepaid debit balance that is valid at any contactless point-of-sale (POS) terminal." A blog post about the crowd sale said: "Plutons are digital tokens issued to users on the Ethereum blockchain. Plutons can be distantly compared with cashback points or frequent flier miles programs. ... Title: Re: [2016-05-01] IBT: Ethereum and Bitcoin payment provider Plutus announces...
