gollark: I bid an `apioteleoiodosaccharodeuterohazard`, muahahahaha?
gollark: The implications are problematic.
gollark: I was thinking that instead of just "pay site thing, get thing out from it", you would do "show site that you own coin of value X, get thing, give site thing", but then I realized that that would actually allow the person spending the coin to *not* transfer the apiocash.
gollark: As a double spend mitigation thing it might be good to have the hash incorporate the time in some way.
gollark: osmarkscoin™ would have the *additional* feature of coin info lookup by hash, so that you can *show* that you own a coin.
