Re: FC97 in July Wired
About the third thing I imagined, after imagining the world's first financial cryptography conference, and, better yet, having it on Anguilla in February; and, after imagining it as Wired's featured 'Deductible Junket'; was imagining a nice feature article in Wired on the conference after it was all over. Thanks to Charles Platt, I now figure I can die and go to heaven, as all three have happened. :-). Out of Town Newspapers in Harvard Square says they'll have the July Wired next Friday. It appears that Vince gets a subscription down in Anguilla, which got there yesterday, and probably everywhere else, I reckon. So, the checks may take 90 days to clear in Anguilla, but at least the mail gets there on time... Stay tuned for details (as we imagine them :-)) about FC98, and about the FC97 conference proceedings, which should be published by Springer-Verlag this summer. Cheers, Bob Hettinga, General Chairman, Financial Cryptography, 1997/98, Anguilla, BVI P.S. if you, or anyone you know, is interested in FC98 sponsorship or exhibition space opportunities, please contact me. --- begin forwarded text Resent-Date: Sun, 8 Jun 1997 08:57:10 -0400 X-Authentication-Warning: online.offshore.com.ai: list set sender to fc97-request@offshore.com.ai using -f Date: Sun, 8 Jun 1997 08:57:04 -0400 (AST) From: Vincent Cate <vince@offshore.com.ai> To: fc97@online.offshore.com.ai cc: ois-news@online.offshore.com.ai Subject: FC97 in July Wired MIME-Version: 1.0 Resent-From: fc97@offshore.com.ai X-Mailing-List: <fc97@offshore.com.ai> archive/latest/57 X-Loop: fc97@offshore.com.ai Precedence: list Resent-Sender: fc97-request@offshore.com.ai The July issue of Wired magazine has an article about the Financial Cryptography 97 conference held in Anguilla. -- Vince ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vincent Cate Offshore Information Services Vince@Offshore.com.ai http://www.offshore.com.ai/ Anguilla, BWI http://www.offshore.com.ai/vince ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ --- end forwarded text ----------------- Robert Hettinga (rah@shipwright.com), Philodox e$, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, MA 02131 USA "... however it may deserve respect for its usefulness and antiquity, [predicting the end of the world] has not been found agreeable to experience." -- Edward Gibbon, 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' The e$ Home Page: http://www.shipwright.com/

Appearances can be deceiving. I just heard about it, I don't have a copy.

It is 30 working days, and we never have enough holidays to make that 90 days. Local checks clear in 1 day. How fast do your local checks clear? :-) -- Vince

ACK! I meant "foriegn" checks. As for the 60-day variance, I plead innumeracy. (What? Philosophy majors are supposed to *count*, too?). ;-). OTOH, maybe 30 days just *seems* like 90 when you're waiting for it. :-). Anyway, 30 days or 90, I bet FSTC-check/ACH gateways <http://www.fstc.org/> are going to be *real* popular in places like Anguilla someday. Almost as popular as those call-back services are now... You can't regulate the arbitrage.
