E-bay doesn't exist in NationStates. You aren't supposed to make real world references to ~real~ corporations.

True. I had that in my orginial explanation of the thing and I c/ped it. Do you have an alternative suggestion, perhaps?

I do.

But you'll have to excuse me, but frankly for a player (you) who constantly runs around on commie witch hunts to later come and use socialist language in his other proposals and call me a hypocrit, you'll have to understand that frankly you've lost any hope from getting any future help from me.

Welcome to the real world ... you piss people off and they eventually get sick you.

My first thought? Unnecessary. Is there really a big problem with the way trade is conducted now that you have to fix it? Well, if you can tell me why I'll think about it, but the answer is no. So, do you really need to overhaul the way business is conducted in as radical a manner as this? I don't think so.

Secondly, anything in electronic form is extremely vulnerable to hacker attacks. Even if you put all kinds of protections on it, well, what do you think hackers do all day? If they really wanted to bring it down, they'd hammer and hammer at it and it WILL be cracked, and with the importance of this system, the impact would be disastrous. And that's not even counting physical factors like power outages and people smashing the servers to bits with crowbars. Hell, you don't even need a crowbar, just water and all that circuitry goes bye-bye.

Basically, you're fixing something that isn't broken and introducing a huge vulnerability in the process.
