I've got sources kicking around somewhere that do this with noise patterns in monochrome bitmaps. I'm not sure if the effect using ascii is achieved in the exact same way - no doubt it is very closely related but not as dense as the bitmaps.

Offline means offline with fraud-tracing in event of double spending, so the efficiency refers to the computation and communication cost of the withdraw and deposit protocols which do the normal ecash thing, plus encode identity in the coin in the withdraw protocol in a way which will be revealed in a double spent show protocol. The protocols you list are online. Not that this is a bad thing -- I kind of prefer the online idea -- rather than the "and then you go to jail" implications of fraud tracing in the offline protocols. Plus you have a risk of accidentally double spending if your computer crashes or something. Adam

What an excellent example of how anonymous politcal commentary can benefit society at large. Quite worthy of it's status as heir to 'The Federalist Papers'.
