Title: Stabilizing currency value
Post by: blueadept on August 15, 2011, 09:11:45 PM
Is anyone working on any cash-settled futures/options exchanges against physical commodities (precious metals, base metals, oil, natural gas, coal, agricultural commodities, electricity)?  I think it might help reduce the volatility of the BTC.  It might also drive adoption.

Just as interestingly, is there anyone working on open-source software for creating such derivatives exchanges?  Would OpenTransactions be a good fit?
