Subject: Re: The Crypto Applications we would rather not talk about || || Actually, the NYT Magazine did a cover story on pot growing within the last || year, and toward the end one of the Americans doing grow rooms in Holland || said specifically that he was looking toward anonymous electronic || communications as a way to control his grow rooms remotely and securely. ||
If the story were about how pot growers used locks on their doors to keep people out, I doubt very many people would care. The mere fact that a computer is involved in some way turns on the hype buttons of many journalists who would otherwise find the story unremarkable.
