Attentive users will have noticed that the new issuance server in the US of A has had hickups over the past couple of days. Having got back from my European adventures I have had a look at the problem that caused the Digi* and the other commercial issues to not work. It turns out that the Linux networking did not play well with the Systemics Issuance Server software and solving that particular problem involved digging in the Linux source code to find out what was wrong. Open Source software indeed has it's advantages! The good news is that I've put in place a bandaid solution that should allow the server to function for the time being albeit not optimally. A more permanent and reliable solution would be to move the servers back to our trusty FreeBSD operating system running on hardware in Anguilla. The bad news is that if we move the server to Anguilla now we will not be allowed to move it out again by injunction of the court of Anguilla. This of course would severely limit Systemics' operational capabilities as any major connectivity problems here in Anguilla could not be effectively addressed. The worst news however is yet to come... : We have to anticipate that the e-gold litigants will attempt to seize the server as: - they have made claims to Systemics intellectual property, - the injunction clearly states that the server is not to leave the 25-by-6 mile rock known as Anguilla. This puts us in a situation where we are forced to separate the Digigold currencies (AGG, AUG, PDG and PTG) from the other commercial issuances in order to protect the interests of Systemics' paying customers. At this stage our distinguished team of Financial Cryptography engineers are working around the clock to come up with a solution (if you didn't get that, it means we don't have a clue as to how to attack this problem just yet). More to follow. Cheers, Jeroen PS.
