Thanks to the last ice age and retreating glaciers...

I spent quite a bit of time on the Urton database in 2006. Would need to dig out the pre/post processing Perl scripts and see a more recent version of the database.

An area that would also be ripe for computational analysis is the texts from Spanish archives that are known to have been sourced from khipu readings. "Pärssinen, Martti & Kiviharju, Jukka. Textos Andinos. Corpus de textos khipu incaicos y coloniales. Tomo I & II" would be a good starting point.

We've built exactly this at here https://Holvi.com for business customers. We offer a full bank account replacement with integrated merchant account for online payments. A full API is in private beta at the moment. We are regulated as an authorised payment institution, and can currently service customers in all EU/EEA countries. Email [email protected] for access to the beta.
Congrats to WePay on the funding, but I can't help but notice a similarity between our and their business cards! ;-)
