Digital Currency Integration With Drupal
Let me introduce you to Arto Bendiken (http://bendiken.net/)
Arto has been hard at work integrating digital currency payments into the popular Drupal CMS system. Check out his work at, http://drupal.org/project/digitalcurrency
He currently has some shopping cart integration done for Pecunix, Liberty Reserve and Perfect Money but has also been working on implementing programmatic access (that is, providing APIs for Drupal developers) to the aforementioned issuers as well as to Loom.cc (see the attached random screenshot) Yes, that’s correct, Loom, check it out.

Arto’s goal is to provide a foundation from which Drupal-based sites and systems (automatic exchangers, private markets, community currencies, etc) relying on these payment systems can be rather easily built by developers familiar with Drupal (that’s a very big talent pool). The shopping cart integration also means that the aforementioned payment methods will soon be available to any of the existing thousands of Drupal/Ubercart merchants who wish to accept them. That is a big neighborhood. There’s much code still to be written, but enough already existed that Arto wanted to share that with us and alert us to what’s coming down the pipeline.
Many thanks Arto for your hard work and we look forward to any updates and innovations you can offer. Cheers. Here are a couple more shots of Arto’s work.
