Again, I always enjoy gedankenexperiments about digital postage. But I am chagrinned that nearly four years after the first remailers we are still operating in thought experiment mode for the most part.
I believe this is because there really is very little market at this time for anonymous remailings. Those who mostly use remailers appear to be willing to use casual-grade remailers, with few of the real Chaumian protections. And they are not very concerned about reliablity, cover traffic, etc.
I disagree. I think the main reason that postage has not appeared for remailers is that there is no good way to integrate Chaumian cash into applications. Now, with two (count 'em!) libraries for ecash starting to become available, we will hopefully see people working to put ecash code into MUAs, remailers, etc. - Ian "and I'll be one of them..." -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMcrZx0ZRiTErSPb1AQGzpQP/eioP2bfiiwefGQgBzkyxl3E3kj/9Hpqs /5BdtDNtq4AZFdDZxXAc7vRUlKKihWeuLACEAHJ4mjfHg7xPiz92a/rMyEcRKkZ6 pbWwsmxR9OJat4g4Y6DzVm2wXAfaQG7WCZQh2gfKxElDkM53QqslOl3BrJ7xuVOU x2BSpwIfI4s= =Wtwx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
