This "white paper", obviously written by someone with minimal technical knowledge of how cryptographic money transfer systems could work, contains virtually no details and only "gee, wouldn't it be nice ifs", many of which are braindead. I'm glad to know that Al Gore is praising it, though. Feh. .pm
