Google is your friend, dude.
Before making unitary global claims like you just did, you might consider consulting the literature. It's out there.
You're such an asshole. Daniel's actual statement was simply:
I know of no protocol for transfering blinded tokens with a receipt, but I do not rule out the possibility of its existence.
This is what you characterized as a "unitary global claim". Aside from the fact that "unitary" is meaningless in this context, his claim was far from "global". Instead it was a very modest statement about what aspects of the technology he was familiar with, and explicitly admitted the possibility that he might be mistaken. I don't think you could ask for anything more in a world where no one has perfect knowledge about any topic. While Daniel Nagy has been a model of politeness and modesty in his claims here, you have reverted to your usual role as an arrogant bully. If Daniel's project should be successful then you will undoubtedly switch over to your other mode of communication, obsequious ass-kissing. I have experienced both from you, in my many names and roles, and I have no taste for either one. I would encourage Daniel not to waste any more time interacting with Hettinga. CP

My, my. Tetchy, this morning, oh vowelless one... At 11:17 AM -0700 10/21/05, cyphrpunk wrote:

That's "One size fits all", for those of you in Rio Linda. A little bit of an Irwin Corey joke for the apparently humor-impaired. Be careful now, I'll start on the Norm Crosby stuff soon, and you might get an aneurysm, or something.

Moi? I kick sand in your face on a beach somewhere I don't remember about? Seriously, I tell him who did an exchange protocol, Silvio Micali, and that they're a dime a dozen, second only to Mo' An' Better Auction Protocols, and he wants me to go out on google, same as *he* can do, and do his work for him.

Indeed. Especially when he makes with the wet-fish slapping-sounds you do when actual words are supposed to come out of your mouth. Okay, maybe it's another orifice. At any rate, you are lacking some, shall we say, ability to express yourself, on the subject. Be careful, though. Burroughs has this great cautionary tale about teaching your asshole to talk, speaking of the, heh, devil... Cheers, RAH Who'll start in on insulting his mother soon, unless Mr. "cyphrpunk" has taken that Charles Atlas course he send out for. Hint: Be grateful you don't have any nipple-hair to get caught in the NEW IMPROVED Charles Atlas Chest Expander's springs.
