Re: BlackNet - what is it?

Blacknet wasn't real; it was a posting Tim May anonymously posted advertising network support for various illegal services, including where to send your digicash blackmail or ransom payments and the like. Basically to try to get us to think about the implications of the technologies we're developing and potential for abuse and paranoia. On the other hand, maybe it wasn't *really* Tim May anonymously posting it, and the Tentacles of Detweiler will be posting GIFs of you and your friends talking to notorious politicians to alt.your.mother and releasing that new virus with your name on the banner page unless you help Eric start a digibank to deposit some ransom money in. :-) Bill,or someone like him
