One small engineering clarification: we didn't stick the cards on the drone, we 3d printed the cardholders and then attached them to the drone!

"Tunisia is relaunching its digital currency the eDinar on Blockchain"

No, it isn't.

The article clearly says "similar to Bitcoin" (ie, not Bitcoin).

The article clearly says "acts as a blockchain platform" (ie, not blockchain).

The Monetas website clearty says "seamless integration with Distributed Ledger and Blockchain Technologies" (ie, not a distributed ledger or a blockchain).

statisically indistinguishable from zero would be my guess

No, it doesn't. The report says that over the year, the rise in lost and stolen card fraud was about $100k (out of $400m). Inconsequential.

I'll eat my Vince Cable-style hat if I'm wrong about this Jeremy, but those increasing transaction volume do not, in my opinion, relate to "real world" commerce.

"The report cites evidence presented by Victoria Police of a 'significant increase' in deception offences"

Does anyone have a link to this report as I'd be really interested to read it and compare losses with UK.

I literally cannot wait. I have a Barclays cheque from one account ready to pay into another Barclays account in my kitchen right now!

So, having spent a billion quid on a current account switching system that has _reduced_ the number of people changing back accounts, Baronet Osborne has decided to waste more of the FCAs time and money on it. There must be management consultants involved in this somehow.

P.S. Has anyone told the Treasury that the Commission is going to mandate bank APIs anyway and it's really nothing to do with them?

Already sorted.
