A Cashless, High-Value, Anonymous Currency: How? 400
jfruh writes "The cashless future is one of those concepts that always seems to be just around the corner, but never quite gets here. There's been a lot of hype around Sweden going almost cashless, but most transactions there use easily traceable credit and debit cards. Bitcoin offers anonymity, but isn't backed by any government and has seen high-profile hacks and collapses in value. Could an experiment called MintChip brewing in Canada finally take us to cashless nirvana?"

So ice cream for currency?
Here in Canada it's winter most of the time, right now my assets are liquidated. :d
Still better than ice cream phones.

Laptop batteries already accidentally start fires from overheating. If something like you're proposing overloads we could be missing a city block or two.
