Abstract: The invention comprises a system for the conduct of mediated peer to peer transactions, the system comprising, a first device, said first device comprising a first processor and said first processor comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions thereon, a display and an interface for submitting commands, a second device, said second device comprising a second processor and said second processor comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions thereon, a display and an interface for submitting commands; and a remote server, said remote server also comprising a processor and said third processor comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions thereon, wherein both the first device and the second device are in communication with the remote server, but the first and second devices are not in communication with each other and wherein when, in use, a transaction is inaugurated between said first and second devices, the outcome of said transaction is governed by correspondence between the respective commands submitted by the two devices to the remote server, wherein the server further comprises a appropriately programmed processor for interpreting and evaluating the relative correspondence of the commands into an outcome and a transmitter for transmitting the said outcome of the transaction to the first and second devices, such that the outcome is displayed on the displays of the respective devices, and wherein the server subsequently interacts with the devices separately in order to settle the transaction, the transaction characterised by an absence of direct communication between said first and second devices. The invention also comprises a method method for conducting mediated peer to peer transactions, the method comprising, inaugurating a transaction between a first device and a second device, said first device comprising a first processor and said first processor comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions thereon, a display and an interface for submitting commands; a second device, said second device comprising a second processor and said second processor comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions thereon, a display and an interface for submitting commands; and a remote server, said remote server also comprising a processor and said third processor comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions thereon, wherein both the first device and the second device are in communication with the remote server, but the first and second devices are not in communication with each other, the first device submitting a first command to the remote server, the second device submitting a second command to the remote server, interpreting and evaluating the relative correspondence of the commands at the remote server, the server calculating an outcome and transmitting the outcome of the transaction to the first and second devices, displaying the outcome and settling the transaction, the transaction characterised by an absence of direct communication between said first and second devices.
