I think this is a great idea.... of course I'd also like to keep improving the EMarket product and make it more useful. For what it's worth, I'm working on a non-cookie based session management system for EMarket... simple, but should be workable.

Why don't we combine efforts? It seems to me wasteful for several people to be making the same thing.

Also... it can already do secure transactions (that's what the transaction server product is about), unless I'm missing your point.

Last time I used EMarket, it didn't yet have the transaction server.

I'm also going to look at the new Cyber Cash product where I get chance and make sure that EMarket interoperates with it properly. I'd like to make EMarket simple, but flexible so that different folks could use it either as a starting point, or a 'ready to go' Product in very diverse ways....

Steve- please don't take any comment I might have made personally. But understand that most business people would simply throw your ECommerce product out the window in favor of something more stable and easier to use. -Josh Z

Also... thanks for the indirect feedback on EMarket. I've gotten precious little of that. ;-)

take care, -steve
