Abstract
A first processor-accessible memory device system and a second processor-accessible memory device system of a self-regulating transaction system may each store a respective local copy of one or more transaction ledgers that record transactions. A first data processing device system may be configured to generate a transaction information block associated with a particular market channel, store it in the local copy of a transaction ledger associated with the particular market channel stored in the first processor-accessible memory device system, and transmit it to a second data processing device system over a communications network for storage in the local copy of the transaction ledger associated with the particular market channel stored in the second processor-accessible memory device system.
