Again, you misled the public by implying that all potential approaches to ecash were patented. In fact, Wagner's blinding does not rely on Chaum's original blinding patent and in fact is designed to avoid ALL patents. It appears to be an unpatented method for doing ecash. (Caveat, of course anyone trying to judge whether a particular technology is truly unpatented should consult a lawyer.)
