To provide payee anonymity: Enterprising cypherpunk, Ed sets up the Ecash Remailer. Alice pays Bob e$15. Alice is anonymous. Bob sends Ed the e$15 Ed cashes the e$ into his ecash mint account, withdraws e$13.50 then pays Bob those e$14 .. Bob can now spend those e$ at will. Bob is now anonymous. This requires some trust-in-Ed, but Bob could be anonymous from Ed just as Ed is anonymous. Perhaps this is the scheme lucky mentioned. I will have to get an account and implement it. -- sameer Voice: 510-601-9777 Community ConneXion FAX: 510-601-9734 The Internet Privacy Provider Dialin: 510-658-6376 http://www.c2.org (or login as "guest") sameer@c2.org
