Summary0011506: write DD for 100% fee idea
DescriptionThere are a bunch of open questions:
* What will the currency be called?
 * CHF/EUR but with some meta-data to distinguish it from "transferable" CHF/EUR
 * Separate currency name
* How will the exchange signal the fees? I've heard different ideas floating around regarding this

Good questions. Do we want one currency, or does it make sense to distinguish between say BTC/USD/EUR/CHF-backed 100%-fee coins? I think it makes little practical difference to the user/merchant, modulo with BTC the amounts would be VERY different (say 100 Satoshi instead of 1 cent).

If we use one currency, we might also literally use a single exchange with just many bank accounts and conversion. We've never tested that, but I think in principle we could have an exchange take CHF to NETZBON and also EUR to NETZBON from another exchange bank account, so we could have a single exchange for everything. To be confirmed though -- this was never tested. That said, not sure a single global exchange is ideal for this from a performance perspective (network latency would be high).

The exchange will signal the fees using the usual mechanisms: STEFAN_LIN = 1 and denomination deposit fees at the denomination value. The bigger question is how the wallets should *render* those to explain to the user what the deal here is.

My current thinking: call the currency "CAPTCHA". That relates everything to a concept people already fully understand, and makes it clear it's not digital cash in the usual sense.
