+Describe workflow in existing payment systems
+- Cash
+  - authentication at ATM
+  - transaction authenticated by the cash
+  - worries : counterfit bills, wrong currency, etc.
+  - refunds
+- CC authentication 
+  - online vs offline
+  - extended verification
+  - credential theft
+  "this reversal of authentication vs shoping slows shopping"
+    - worse because exposing yourself to a merchant
+    - can choose not to use a particular ATM
+    - 40 million stolen at target
+  - refunds, annoys banks
+  - swipe vs chip vs NFC
+- Bitcoin
+  - external application
+    - p2p not prowser friendly
+  - 5+ or 10 minute transactions mean designing new shopping carts
+  - minning suck0rs, 
+    - massive transaction fees : blockchain.info 
+      - hits you 2-3 times
+  - conversion sucks
+  - DDoS : wired article?

+
+Denomination choice
+- Anonymity refresh protocol
+- Withdraw automates like ATMs
+
+Broser extension
