Abstract: A native virtual currency is awarded to parties of the system, for example potential customers of commercial parties, for use in commerce. The awarding entity, the system, itself accepts native virtual currency toward payment for system services provided to members, for example advertising a party's willingness to accept a native virtual currency in transactions and other commerce related services.

Abstract: Data is detected from transaction systems, the data including a party's financial inflows, holding, outflows, payables and receivables. Data is also detected from location systems, the data including a party's proximity to a place or further party. Data is processed to determine if a reward should be triggered. Rewards are expressed as an amount of a virtual currency.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for automatically establishing secure communications through one or more networks. Execution of node server operating software is initiated on a first node server. A secure communication connection is authenticated between a first node server and a master control server having an account database. An account status of the first node server is verified by accessing the account database. In the master control server, a unique identification key pair is associated with the first node server. The identification key pair has a public key and a private key. The public key of the key pair is stored in a master node server database on the master control server. The private key of the key pair is stored in the first node server. At least a portion of the master node server database is sent to a second node server, including the public key associated with the first node server.
