		<title>Now What?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve got planned for AEIOU now: OpenPGP Integration An issuer in the AEIOU system is currently identified by their username and the domain name of their server.  This is less than ideal.  If a server has multiple domain names (perhaps it runs as both a Tor hidden service and an I2P eepsite simultaneously), [...]]]></description>

		<title>Intermission</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was laid off from my job this past Tuesday.  Since then, I&#8217;ve been even busier than usual, mostly working on my resume and website.  If you&#8217;re looking to hire a programmer, or know someone who is, let me know. I&#8217;ll be back to work on AEIOU stuff soon.]]></description>

		<title>Changes Thus Far</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There have been lots of small changes made since the first version of AEIOU was released.  I&#8217;m just going to cover the more important changes here before moving on. IOU Definitions When I started working on AEIOU, I had planned to allow bearers to split a single IOU into multiple IOUs of lesser value, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Initial Design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[AEIOU is a &#8220;digital bearer certificate&#8221; system, though I wasn&#8217;t aware of that term or of other DBC systems I first started working on the project.  The DBC concept is pretty simple.  For each certificate there is an entry in a database on a server consisting of a unique ID, a password (sometimes the ID [...]]]></description>

		<title>Unmet Needs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are three categories of problems with existing currencies and payment systems that I&#8217;m looking to solve with AEIOU: micropayment issues, privacy issues, and trust issues. Micropayment Issues Micropayments are very small payments, denominated in units of one tenth of a cent or smaller.  They were proposed as an alternative to the advertising-based business model [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Make Money</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What exactly is money, and how does it get its value?  The concept is simple enough, but there&#8217;s a lot of confusion surrounding it.  Money is any good that is generally accepted as payment.  Currency, by contrast, is a specific medium of exchange (US Dollars, Japanese Yen, Ithaca Hours, Beenz, etc.), created specifically for use [...]]]></description>

		<title>Introduction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[AEIOU is an open-source system for creating electronic commodity currencies.  I&#8217;ve been working on it off and on (mostly off) since 2006.  After yet another hiatus, I&#8217;ve decided to get back to work.  However, I&#8217;d like to take a different approach this time. Quite frankly, I&#8217;m a little bit embarrassed at the relatively meager progress [...]]]></description>
