surfin01- Thanks! Actually, one of the best features, which we haven't talked about much on here, is the ability to send BTC to other Bank members instantly, without needing to wait for any sort of confirmation from the Bitcoin p2p network.  (These are Bitcoins stored in Active Storage, not in Paper Vaults, just for clarification.) We think that this has the potential to really advance Bitcoin commerce in the future.  Imagine going to a store and trying to buy something with Bitcoin, but having to wait at the register for confirmation.  It's just not practical.

We imagine, instead, moving a certain amount of BTC from your Paper Vault to Active Storage before your visit to the store, anticipating the amount you will spend.  Then, at the register you just move BTC from your Active Storage to the store's Bank of Bitcoin Account, instantly! And not only is it instant, but even the small Bitcoin p2p network fee would be eliminated.  As this practice became widespread, not only would it increase the acceptance of Bitcoin as an alternate currency, but we feel it would serve to increase the monetary value of Bitcoins.
