-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- A couple of problems have arisen with my code marketing venture. Which is all to the good, of course, as the point of the exercise is to turn up these problems. Firstly, it seems that the coins I receive will contain something akin to a serial number, so that just recording the byte sequence upon issuance of the coin, and comparing with the bank receipts, would be sufficient to establish the origin of the coin. Since a bank deposit is normally communicated to a real email address, then the depositor can be identified. This being the case, use of a pool for receiving bank statements seems to be the safest way to go. The other problem is conversion from one currency (Ghostmarks) into another (Tacky Tokens). Here is a business opportunity for someone: exchange currencies for profit. Once again, a pool seems to be the best way to issue the exchanged money. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.3a iQCcAgUBLcnf/Lhnz857T+PFAQFXrwQ2NZTiE9spBf364VRvW37NwW+6aogNLjGi rPR89ve0oJEfBoI0EQl7ubHiTflttI+/6sjD++vHWKO1+FFhOXe0MDomYcbJy1QG olpnDTPC4412s546IXwVZsPiqCg9Dcxs5iz+dXalh9RrF9WwiY2YOjS+898FvoDg x6CgwPSbmiZcRx9G8Ou5 =g9jr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

-> I see nobody mentioned the infringment of the second amendment by the assault weapons ban. [Dribble and CAPS deleted] YOU PEOPLE ARE FOOLS AND HAVE TO MUCH SELF IMPORTANCE IN YOUR SMALL LITTLE HEADS, NOTHING EXISTS OF OF INTERNET! WRONG THE REAL WORLD DOES!!! BY NOT DISTRIBUTING TO THE MASSES YOU WILL LOSE (oh you can ftp to toilet.flush /urinal/cookies/). WHEN THEY TAKE YOUR PRESIOS CRYPTO AWAY, THEY WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR FIRST AMMENDMENT RIGHTS. (and it serves you right). FUCK IT NEVER MIND <- I'll beat Perry to it. Interesting, but not about crypto, or the politics of crypto. Take it to alt.flame. -uni- (Dark)
