As far as I can tell, I am the only person in the world who has been issued a patent on a complete digital currency. I have a patent pending on a quantum-safe cryptographic key-exchange system to replace RSA and Diffie-Hellman. I am the creator of the "Theory of Perfect Money" which may make some substantial contributions to the field of economics. I am the author of "Beyond Bitcoin: The Future of Digital Currency" and am writing a book called "Perfect Money" that lays out a normative philosophy on how we should run our monetary policy. I am PhD ABD in Computer Information Systems.

Transactions take too long, fees are too high and it is still too difficult to scale. We developed CloudCoin to overcome these challenges and pave the way for mass adoption.
