-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I'm joining this a bit late, but if you take the concept proposed earlier about sticking a remailer stamp on each encrypted envelope and that stamp being removed by the remailer, each remailer will get paid for handling the message. The anonymity (assuming an FV-type postage sale) can be restored by having one or more trusted postage exchanges. You buy a hundred stamps, send them to the exchange, and get back ninety-nine stamps from a pool. You now have a valid remailer stamp that does not have a link to you. Of course, to keep the purchasers honest, the stamps should probably be send from the purchase point (FV in this example). And there would also have to be a fast clearing house so stamps can't be reused/copies. - -- America - a country so rich and so strong we can reward the lazy and punish the productive and still survive (so far) Don Melvin storm@ssnet.com finger for PGP key. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBLw9nAmvyi8p8VUiJAQHAsAQAj+hPIqS8lKFgRSr+m/aqrDp96W/ZTAw6 icQoAserp1gdWeOOaYKVZOgFA4Fn4BRM1ghs6mKO9nInVqJf9rCLpPhRCQ7ABPUi lR9mHq4ib4wA7cWzpraXy+Bf6eht0DaPHO8aUFW1Hz8wDGLjtamzrknjhnUGyS1Z LaKifu4R2o8= =NXlf -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
