Has anyone ever (seriously) tried to release a coin and peg it to the dollar (or Euro)? I would like to start a project like this; as an attorney I can handle the regulatory/government side of things, if we could get some community buy-in on the idea. It IS NOT impossible to do legally, no matter what you may have heard or read; its just impossible to do on the LD. I think I know how to pull this off, but there is no way I will go at it alone. Security would be the number one issue, not speed. Every coin purchased would be a liability to the issuer. Mining the coins would not be the best way to get them into circulation. There is no get rich quick scheme here, this would truly be a labor of love. Essentially we are talking about PayPal with a wallet you control and keep.
Advantages: Built in value. Instant recognition around the world. No currency conversions necessary. Sell anything anywhere in a price that everyone knows. Would allow a true dark exchange or blind escrow to take place. MOVE DOLLARS INSTANTLY. Very attractive to retailers and cross-border trading, even large transfers.
Disadvantage: No/Limited return as an investment. (No reason to hold on to them as they wont increase in value). High value target for double spend attacks. High value target for future government regulation. No incentive to be early adopter.
I would be interested in your thoughts or ideas.
