I finally broke down and felt guilty enough about not using magic money that I decided to spend the time and get it. Funny thing, I can't even follow the simple directions hal posted about getting ahold of it. No wonder it isn't being used. ----------- Date: Mon May 2 23:07:00 1994 From: Hal <hfinney@shell.portal.com> <hfinney/daemon> [...] How do you actually use Magic Money? First you get a client program. ftp to /pub/mpj at ftp.netcom.com to find a DOS client. Sources to allow you to build Unix clients can be found at csn.org by ftp; start in the /mpj directory, read README.MPJ, then cd to the crypto directory. cd to pgp_tools, get mgmny10e.zip and pgptl10d.zip. ------------ uh-huh. I went to netcom and didn't see any dos client. again, please? In response to tim's recent posting, he asks why DC Nets, digitial timestamping services (and other pretty protocols) aren't being used. This is exactly what I asked a few months ago! We need to either have or create a use for these tools, or they'll never be used. I described a simple, simple version of digital timestamping a few months ago; there was little interest. Reasons? Not much use for digital timestamps, for one. Also, people were hesitant about stepping on bellcore's toes. So what are we to do? I'm not going to spend the < half day it would take to set up a digital timestamp service if it isn't ever going to be used.
