If the Netscape folks would integrate digicash into Communicator, then I could program my browser to only send referer to sites that paid for the information, and rent cookie space. Want your cookie to live till 1999? Thats 24 months, at 50 cents per month...do you want to pay?
That would only work until someone abuses it. People could create web robots to run around selling referers and several gigabytes of worthless cookie space. Worthless, because nobody cares about the web browsing habits of J. Random Robot, and they certainly don't want to blow $50 e-bucks on the bot's repeated visits.
