VIRTUAL CURRENCY: The Washington-Beaufort County Chamber of Commerce recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Franko Virtual Currency located at http://www.frankos.org. Franko is an open-source virtual currency system that allows secure payments to be conducted over the Internet for little to no cost. Each transaction on the network is mathematically confirmed every 30 seconds to guarantee its validity. Only 11 million Franko will ever exist, and they are released into the economy at a transparent rate of 720 per day. For more information, go to www.frankos.org.
