Money Disk will be an alternative to economy SMPs. It will use computers and disks from computer craft v1.3 Money disk will work like a bank card except the balance will be stored on the disk. Using a valid OS and a valid disk you can purchase different things. one of the things you can buy is different OSs that do a specific job(craft OS won't be overwritten but you will be only able to see the OS you install)They are/will be:
Storage OS
Storage Manager OS
Apartment OS
Apartment manager OS
Market OS
Rentals OS
Password Door OS
Key card Door OS
Door OS
Bank OS
ATM OS
If the OS doesn't have a video or CANCELED by it then it is still being made
If you have any more sugestions then reply to my post and be shure to quote me or i won't be notified
You can download computer craft on the computer craft thred

I like the idea. But you need to make sure the the disks can't be modified except in an atm or shop computer.
This will force all computers to load autorun on disk when inserted.
mods/computercraft/lua/diskbottom
os.pullEvent("disk","bottom")
if fs.exists("disk/autorun") == true
then
shell.run("disk/autorun")
end
os.pullEvent("disk_eject","bottom")
-- fill with code to restart?
I will have to create 6 fs.exists and shell.run because if I only do 1 then you can just use 2 disk drives to get around this
I'm still trying to figure out how to run this in the background I think this might work:
startup

That would be complicated for those who purchase OSs and the people running the bank.
the people using the OS would have to know what ID to send/receive on and wire their computer up to the bank.
the bank would have to have have background programs for all computers on the map to avoid conflict.
The idea of money disk is that everything runs independently thus making it easy to install
I will however be using Redpower wiring for the bank OS and ATM OS
Hrmmm... I am curious on how this will run. Youre adding in a form of currency (which is cool and would help out situations like selling power from a plant in IC2). The problem I see in the long run is how will this be backed? Im probably making this too big of a problem, but unless you have something to back it up (example: for every "credit(s)" from this atm thing, items should be backed by say gold/diamonds held by the bank to avoid inflation.) or else youre looking at having it flop or get wildly out of control.
Don't get me wrong, I think this is a great idea. I am just wondering how you are going to implement it. Also, do you have any screenshots?

Server setup in progress, IC2/RP2/BC/Computercraft/ keep an eye on the updates! Register on the forums HERE and take a look!

I'm not sure inflation can really be accounted for since items in minecraft can be created and destroyed at a whim in mass. Gold is renewable via the nether and diamonds can be created multiple ways in IC2. You could easily set up a gold farm/diamond factory combo in the nether and flood the economy. You could limit the amount of credits that exist within the system, but that might become a syncing nightmare with many ATMs.

OPs can use TMI and Market OS lets you buy and sell up to three items (thats how ive currently have it set up) to/from a "vending machine" that is built using redpower pipes 3 retrievers and transposers 5 chests 5 redpower colored wires and a bunch of bundled cables

I'm currently working on Market OS and trying to secure disk with autorun on them.
when it's ready i will put a link in my first post. An OS will be released as soon as their ready except for grouped ones.
I like the idea. But you need to make sure the the disks can't be modified except in an atm or shop computer.
actually i'm going to use a "BIOS". The BIOS will first look for a disk and then see if it can be booted from if it doesn't find any then it will look for the local serial # file (serial #s are used to make it so you can't uninstall someone else's install) if it doesn't find that it will shutdown. It is done in this order so you can uninstall it later.

Any word on the status of this? I am planning on doing something just like it and if the wheel has been created I would rather not try to make from scratch... If you have abandoned this please let me know
