[0090] The issuer node 105A may generate the digital currency in a variety of ways, including but not limited to sending the amount of digital currency to itself as part of a payment transaction and advertising the payment transaction throughout the cryptocurrency payment network 145. For example, the issuer node 105A may generate a first payment transaction message with the source and destination address of the first payment transaction message being the address of the issuer node 105A. The first payment transaction message may include an amount of digital currency (e.g., 100 units) and a digital signature. In some embodiments, the digital signature may be generated using a mathematical algorithm. The digital signature may be created by using a transaction private key associated with the sender (e.g., issuer node 105A) and the first payment transaction message. In such a scenario, a transaction public key associated with the receiver (e.g., issuer node 105A) may then be used to verify the digital signature to ensure that the payment transaction is authentic and was an authorized transaction.
I only read a couple of paragraphs, but the quoted one caught my eye. It's out of context, so I may have misunderstood it. It looks as if they can see the end of fractional reaerve banking, and the fraud that that generated. Maybe they are trying to create a crapto-currency to move this concept onto the Internet.
