>Paypyrus is versatile like cash

But with none of the security, what a useful idea... Could I not just print the same dollar twenty times then it's a race to see who redeems it first? Cute idea though I guess.

Agreed. Although it has none of the guarantees of cash, it would also be more difficult to steal (as the authorization can be revoked). This is more similar to a bank check than actual legal tender.

(potential drunken party game: throw 10 paypyruses and the first to cash in gets the money)

I think that they can add security features in the future.

  $ cat /var/history.log | grep 'add.*security.*future' | grep -v failure | wc -l
