Press Release
eCache Payments now Accepted
22 January 2007
Numbers that ARE Money
unlinQ is proud to announce that we now accept eCache a new and revolutionary value store and payment system. Unlike other digital currencies and payment systems (e.g., Paypal and even e-gold) which are account-based, eCache uses Digital Bearer Certificates (DBCs) a digital equivalent to paper banknotes. eCache has announced a fully gold-backed currency, the GG. Other currency types are expected.
Privacy: over, under around and through
The eCache Mint (the entity that issues the DBCs) does not store any transaction details. eCache can be reached by anonymous means, like TOR. Mathematically sound 'mixing' techniques break any possible link betweeen DBCs, keeping eCache and 3rd-parties from tracing transactions.
Likewise, unlinQ neither requires nor requests personal information. eCache complements unlinQ's service by making truly private the movement of funds that eventually result in the purchase of a VirtuCard.
VirtuCard is a pre-paid, numbered account, issued to an unlinQ cardholder alias fresh on demand. There is no compromise in identity due to courier delivery or cost. It’s not detectable by the merchant as being a virtual card: the merchant sees a completely valid major charge card. Clients are provided with a unique operating credit card number, expiration date, 3-digit CVV and the alias' identification information to complete on-line transactions for that card, the card's identity isn't linked to unlinQ's client.
VirtuCards may be purchased for the exact amount needed so there is no waste and unexpected charges are eliminated. Unexpired cards may be recharged, balances transferred or even refunded.
