Market forces invent semantics

In the sandbox, everything is not real clear, I dunno how the techies are separating out the layers, and they are experimenting in the market.  So, we get bitcoin, ethereum, then ripple, and start to crystalize on something that routes transactions through the digital monetary network.

The router is a market discovery. It fills a void, unexpectedly for me, I didn't invent it, but the concept is great, whatever the name.. When we have semantics that click, then we generally have the uderlyingtechology. An escrow router is the greatest thing, except for trading pits.

Once we know we get a transaction router, then all the suppliers want to be on a digital ledger service, most of which already exist.  Equity, title systems will need to adapt, adding digital securities to enforce ownership.  The escrow router is a platform about which they get guarantees over arbitrary transfer sequences with timeouts.   No native coin for the thing, strictly relies on external pits, exchanges and ledgers. Uniform address

The real fee for the service goes back to the foundry,which guarantees the underlying protocol.  The fee should cover network costs.
