You will find plenty of information to help you set up your ecash purse
and
configure a web site to accept ecash. You can download our latest
I was unable to connect to the listed URL, but I rather suspect this is not a form of "e-cash" that is of much interest or use to Cypherpunks.
No mention of "untraceable" or "anonymous" or "Chaum." And no mention of "Digicash," except in your (Wayne's) introduction; Digicash is, rightly or wrongly, a trademark of the company with the same name.
It _is_ in fact Digicash's ecash. Do you really think it's surprising that the Bank's press release does not mention "untraceable" or "anonymous"? :-) - Ian
