Introducing M-Oyster!
This Rednet-based OysterCard-like (If you live in England, you know the Oyster Card) system uses Disk Drives as Cards and has a server, and ID numbers.

You load your disk card with gold nuggets, and you deplete them over time.

You have Iron Doors operated by Computers. Enough Gold = pass. Not enough gold = pass.

Topping up is simple. A turtle will do all the work for you. Just place the gold in a chest, a turtle will pick it up, and add the MC$ to your M-Oyster card.

ONLY the ID # is stored on the card, in a hidden file.

Everything else is on the server on ComputerCraft Cloud Chest.

DOWNLOADS:

(I'm sorry, it's not out yet.)

Also, this was my 80th post!

Development beginning now.

(Well, "now" in the sense of as soon as my Minecraft would start)

WHOOPS, I meant Floppy Disks as cards, not the drives themselves!

you can edit your post, also the moderators don't like it when people don't post code in the programs section of the forums

It's called "Media", most people post their teaser or "unreleased code" there.

Also, due to Cx4's limitations, currently we can support up to 26 cards.

@Creator I guess it's some kind of payment option for traveling in London.

@OP why are you using cx4 to store the data? If you can't afford learning some PHP/SQL and then use some free hosting service to create your own storage, at least make it "server-local" (like a rednet-server).

I… honestly have no idea on what to do. Lupus, help me.
So, FS api. No CX4 anymore. But I don't know how to dynamically write files.
